Physics-based MCT circuit model using the lumped-charge modeling approach.

Physics-based MCT circuit model using the lumped-charge modeling approach.

This paper presents a physics-based model of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) controlled thyristor (MCT) using the lumped-charge modeling technique. As a relatively new power semiconductor device, little effort has been made thus far in creating an accurate model for simulation use. The only MCT mode...
