Description

To replace a thyratron, which is used in a klystron modulator, we developed a high voltage switch utilizing IEGT (Injection Enhanced Gate bipolar Transistor), which is recently developed semiconductor power device. We confirmed that an IEGT device successfully conducted current of almost 6 kA and that the IEGT switch had satisfactory performance. (author)
