Optimization of the buffer layer in a 15kV SiC N-type gate commutated thyristor for safe, low-loss switching

This paper explores the design and optimization of the buffer layer in Silicon Carbide (SiC) N-type Gate Commutated Thyristors (GCTs) to enhance low-loss switching and ensure safe operation in ultra high-voltage (over 10 kV) applications. The challenges posed by high dv/dt conditions during turn-off...
