1、New Generation of High Power Semiconductor Closing Switches for Pulsed Power ApplicationsI. Introduction Solid state semiconductor switches are very inviting to use at pulsed power systems because these switches have high reliability, long lifetime, low costs during using, and environmental safety d
2、ue to mercury and lead are absent. Semiconductor switches are able to work in any position, so, it is possible to design systems as for stationary laboratory using, and for mobile using. Therefore these switches are frequently regarded as replacement of gas-discharge devices ignitrons, thyratrons, s

SCR has small value of forward voltage drop at switch-on state, it has high overload capacity for

Disadvantage of SCR is observed at switching of current pulses with very high peak value and short duration. Reason of this disadvantage is sufficiently slow process of switch-on state expansion from triggeri

Improvement of SCR pulse characteristics can be reached by using of the distributed gate design. This is allowed to decrease the time of

Thus, ABB company is expanded the semiconductor switch using up to microsecond range by design of special pulse asymmetric thyristors (ASCR). These devices have distributing gate structure like a GTO. This thyristor design and forced trigg

However, in this design gate structure is covered large active area of thyristor (more than 50%) that decrease the efficiency of Si using and increase cost of device.Si-thyristors and IGBT
8、have demonstrated high switching characteristics at repetitive mode. However, such devices do not intend for switching of high pulse currents (tens of kiloamperes and more) because of well-known physical limits are existed such as low doping of emitters, short lifetime of minority carriers, small si

Reverse switched dinistors (RSD) is two-electrode analogue of reverse conducting thyristo

Triggering of RSD is provided by short pulse of trigger current at brief applying of reversal voltage to RSD. Design of RSD is made thus that triggerin

This current produces the oncoming injection of charge carriers from both emitter junctions to base regions and initiates the regenerative process of switch-on for RSD thyristor areas. Such method of

The freewheeling diode integrated into the RSD structure could be used as damping diode at fault mode in the discharge circuit. This fau

It was shown in that RSD

Three switches (switch type KRD 25-180)
