Abstract

Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) technique was used to detect the defects in the failed Gate Turn Off thyristor power devices. Comparison of the measured parameters of the deep defects to the literature revealed the origin of the defects and explains why the GTO devices have abnormally high leakage currents and short lifetimes.
