Abstract
The operation of the continuous-gate-control BMCT and the interrupted-gate-control BMCT is described and compared. Particular attention is focused on the analysis of the turn-on and turn-off characteristics. The result provides useful guidelines for designing these devices. Parameters such as the minimum MOS gate voltages required for turn-on and turn-off and the maximum controllable current are analytically derived and experimentally verified. Switching tests using fabricated devices indicate that BMCT is capable of handling current exceeding 800 A/cm/sup 2/ with a turn-off time less than 1 mu s for discrete devices.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
