Popis: The impact of non-1D effects caused by the spread of the gate current in the base layer on the gate switch-on current in 4H-SiC thyristors is considered. It is shown that a new switching mechanism implemented in 4H-SiC thyristors results in the dependence of the gate switch-on current on the thyristor parameters, with this dependence being fundamentally different from that in conventional silicon thyristors.
