Abstract :
The current transport mechanism of transparent anode in gate commutated thyristor (GCT) was analyzed theoretically and the expression of electron current density was deduced. The switching characteristic of asymmetry GCT was simulated by using MEDICI simulator. The results show that the analysis of current transport mechanism for transparent anode is reasonable. In addition, the structural parameters of the transparent anode are optimized based on the analysis of on-state characteristic of asymmetry GCT
