Zusammenfassung:This paper demonstrates the parallel and serial association of two SiC light triggered thyristors. Such systems are needed to increase the power handling capacity of SiC switches. The devices and their fabrication are presented. The experiments and their results are detailed, addressing particularly the problem of voltage and current sharing during the switching of the thyristors.
