  • Abstract
    In this paper, high voltage Bipolar Junction Transistors are presented and compared in order to suggest a bidirectional switch for household appliances with fully turn-on, turn-off control. A comparative theoretical study, using 2D simulations, shows that concepts like “superjunctions” and “floating islands” improve the static current gain without unwanted behavior like parasitic diodes.
