A thyristor SCR is a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) used with high current or high voltage applications to control an alternating current (AC). A thyristor control can be used to protect an ...

It is the second course in the "Semiconductor Power Device" specialization that focusses on diodes, MOSFETs, and IGBTs but also covers legacy devices (BJTs, Thyristors and TRIACS ... a more detailed ...

For this current density the forward voltage drop V was 10 V, which is significantly larger than V values for identically rated GaAs and Si thyristors at the same current densities. This result made ...
