  • Abstract
    Electrical characteristics for 450-V GaAs power SIT\´s were numerically simulated. It was shown that GaAs SIT\´s can be operated in the biopolar mode even for low carrier lifetime cases. The on-resistances will be less than frac{1}{3.5} of those for silicon power MOSFET\´s and can be further reduced in the biopolar-mode operation.
