Fast-switching insulated gate transistors |
| |
Abstract: | Insulated gate transistors (IGT's) with high-speed gate turn-off capability have been developed by using electron irradiation to reduce the minority-carrier lifetime in the drift region. Gate turnoff times as low as 200 ns have been achieved. These devices have been found to offer a unique advantage in the ability to tradeoff conduction and switching losses which allows optimization of device characteristics for each application. |
