| Abstract | The feasibility of using silicon power thyristors for electric gun pulsers has been established. The advantages of solid state switches are highly significant for electric gun systems. Nevertheless, the size and weight of a solid state pulser built using silicon devices is non-optimal due to limited device performance. The improved material properties of silicon carbide offer the potential of reducing the size and weight of the pulser by increasing device power density and di/dt capabilities. Studies have estimated the improvement to be a significant 60% reduction in both volume and weight, mainly due to improvement in di/dt capability. This improvement is highly desirable to build a solid state pulser capable of meeting the size and weight constraints of a tactical system. In this paper, we present a quantitative theoretical assessment of high-power silicon carbide (SiC) thyristor capabilities for EML applications based on the experimental evaluation of high power density prototype SiC thyristors and the design and performance modeling of a 4 kV SiC thyristor. This information provides the technical background to assess device performance improvement and claims for reduced pulser size and weight. This study confirms that a current density of 6 kA/cm/sup 2/ is feasible, and that a di/dt improvement of 2.5 times is a reasonable expectation, and further indicates the potential to operate SiC thyristors at current densities above 10 kA/cm/sup 2/ and at much higher di/dts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
