THEORY:
An SCR is a three terminal, four-layer latching device. The three terminals are anode, cathode and
gate. When the anode is more positive w.r.t the cathode, junctions j1, j3 are forward biased and the
junction j2 is reverse biased. Only a small leakage current flows through the device. The device is
said to be in the forward blocking state or OFF state. When the anode to cathode voltage is
increased to break-over value, the junction j2 breaks down and device starts conducting. The
anode current must be more than a value known as latching current in order to maintain the device
in the ON state. Once SCR starts conducting, it behaves like a conducting diode and gate has no
control over the device

MOSFET
Output characteristics:
It indicate the variation of drain current ID as a function of drain–source voltage VDS
as a parameter. For low values of VDS, the graph between ID–VDS is almost linear; this indicates
a constant value of on resistance RDS = VDS / ID. For given VGS, if VDS is increased,
output characteristic is relatively flat indicating that drain current is nearly constant.

IGBT:
Output characteristics of an IGBT show the plot of collector current IC versus Collector- Emitter
voltage VCE for various values of Gate-Emitter voltages. In the forward direction, the shape
of the output characteristics is similar to that of BJT. But here the controlling parameter is Gate-
Emitter voltage VGE because IGBT is a voltage controlled device. When the device is OFF,
junction j2 blocks forward voltage and in case reverse voltage appears across collector and
emitter, junction j1 blocks it. VRM is the maximum reverse breakdown voltage.
PROCEDURE:
1) Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.
2) Switch on the supply.
3) Set the Gate Emitter voltage (VGE) at a fixed value.
4) Vary the voltage applied across Collector and Emitter (VCE) and Note
the corresponding Collector current IC.
5) The above steps are repeated for different values of VGE.
6) Draw the graph between V CE and IC .

Thus the Characteristics of MOSFET & IGBT were obtained and drawn graphically.
