Description

The manufacture of semiconductor devices is one of the beneficiaries of electron accelerators. A brief survey of our recent results in the areas of power thyristors to improve their electrical characteristics is presented. The paper relates to an improved method to obtain high dynamic dv/dt fast thyristors by selective electron irradiation at high temperature. The method has the advantage of being easily controllable, highly reproducible, quick and of producing high electrical performance devices. (orig.)
