Abstract

The development of new semiconductor designs requires that extensive testing be completed in order to fully understand the device's characteristics and performance capabilities. This paper describes the evaluation of experimental Silicon Carbide high power Super Gate Turn Off Thyristors (SiC SGTOs) in a unique test bed that is capable of stressing the devices with very high energy/power levels while at the same time mimicking a realistic, real world application for such devices.
