  • Abstract
    The development of ultrahigh voltage (>3500 V), high current (>1000 A), 3.6 cm2 area double-interdigitated (TIL) gate-assisted turnoff thyristors (GATTs) exhibiting a reduced turnoff time by a factor of more than two with a gate-assist of only 1 A and having excellent overall electrical performance is reported
