Abstract
The results of investigations of a small-size integrated thyristor recently developed at the Ioffe Physical Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences are presented. The operating voltage of the thyristor is 3300 V. The thyristor shows high switching performance in the regime of commutation of short current pulses with a high rise rate. The amplitude of a current pulse with a duration of 600 ns reaches 3.3 kA, while the current density is ∼37 kA/cm2.
