Abstract
A physics-based lumped charge model is developed for the novel emitter turn-off (ETO) thyristor. The model facilitates the development of this advanced power semiconductor device. With the aid of the model, the ETO operation mechanism is better understood. Experimental results confirm the validation of the model, and the model is further used in the study of device series operation and parallel operation.
