Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Pulsed power technology is progressively employed in industrial applications. Power semiconductor devices are promoting the development. The technical issues on power devices for pulsed power applications are summarized. A promising candidate for the fast high power switch is SI-thyristors whose capability has been verified experimentally. We point out the importance of experimental investigation on the temporal and spatial behavior of free carriers in the power devices.
