Abstract

The characteristics applied in pulsed power area for the power semiconductor devices of RSD(reversely switched dynistor), thyristor and IGBT are compared synthetically in this paper. By establishing the two-dimensional electro-thermal coupling models for the three types of devices, the turn-on performances of each one at low and high current density are discussed, separately. The results show that the special type device RSD always acquires the lowest turn-on voltage and power dissipation. This advantage is more obvious with the current density increase. The experimental results have approved the trend.
