Recent developments in IGCT gate units

Bjorn Backlund, Matthias A. Luescher

Abstract

Recent improvements in GCT silicon design have allowed increased turn-off capabilities for IGCTs thus placing greater demands on the gate-unit. This paper shows how the design challenges arising from this new turn-off capability have been addressed to re-establish "a balance" between the semiconductor and the gate unit for optimal IGCT performance.
