Investigating the electrothermal characteristics of a Gate Turn Off thyristor during turn-off using SILVACO ALTAS [sic] ATLAS

Approved for public release, distribution unlimited === This thesis presents data from a simulation study of the thermal and electrical characteristics of a Gate Turn Off (GTO) thyristor. At present, most of the research on GTO thyristors has focused on their use in power electronic systems at high...
