2-kV thyristor triggered in impact-ionization wave mode by a solid-state spiral generator

Impact-ionization wave triggering of a thyristor enables it to switch significantly higher currents with much faster rise times (d I /d t ) than through conventional triggering; indeed tests on commercial components demonstrate that both current and d I /d t can be increased an order of magnitude ov...
