Description
Summary:In order to improve the long-term reliability of high power thyristor, a novel semi-insulator passivation layer was proposed to replace the conventional insulator layer which can avoid the accumulation of surface charge. The effect of surface charge on blocking ability of a HVDC thyristor was simulated through TCAD (technology computer aided design). The comparison of these two designs through hot temperature blocking and humidity test showed an improved reliability of a semi-insulator passivated device. Additional power cycling test demonstrated that the fatigue-life expectation of the proposal design could meet the requirement of HVDC scheme.
