ISG3 MODULATORS - JAN 25-28,1999 Questions for the Collaboration FineMet (Hitachi) & Metglas (Toshiba) IGBTs SI Thyristor Other Can KEK investigate availability, pricing for (a) 500Kg-2T for prototyping, and (b) up to -1OOOT for production? Are there sources of IGBTs in Japan that can meet our technical requirements of a 5 kv device with at least 2000A pulse current and cl00 nsec switching speed? Can KEK investigate specifications, avnilability and pricing for (a) quantities of 100-200 for prototyping, and (b) quantities of 40-50,000 for production? Is the SIT a possible replacement for the IGBT in our solid state design, or are its losses too high to consider this, or do we know yet without further investigation? Is an SIT stack a possible replacement for thyratrons in our Baseline design, and could we collaborate on an investigation to explore this? (AM & SG) What other avenues of collaboration would benefit the KEK and NLC programs? Does AM see areas where SLAC could assist his program at KEK?
