A report on child suicide bombers recruited by the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan and how they have become one of the most effective weapons of terrorism. Afghan police have locked up child suicide bombers in prisons. In Pakistan, an unidentified psychologist working with the Pakistani army at a school called Sabaoon, is trying to rehabilitate some of the children trained into martyrdom by the Taliban. At Sabaoon, children partake in religious training about a moderate Islam, and once they renounce terrorism, they are released and monitored by school officials and authorities. Includes interviews with: Major General Asim Bajwa, Pakistani Army; unidentified man who claims to be a Taliban commander with ties to al Qaeda (through translator); an unidentified psychologist; and an unidentified boy who was a child suicide bomber (through translator).

6.5 kV n-Channel 4H-SiC IGBT with Low Switching Loss Achieved by Extremely Thin Drift Layer
(Switzerland: Trans Tech Publications, 2016), 9 page(s)
Thin drift layers were used to realize n-channel 4H-SiC IGBTs with an extremely low switching loss. The thickness of a drift layer was 60 µm, which was designed for a blocking voltage of 6.5 kV. An on-voltage of 5.4 V was obtained at a collector current of 100 A/cm2 and the specific differential on-resistance at...

Thin drift layers were used to realize n-channel 4H-SiC IGBTs with an extremely low switching loss. The thickness of a drift layer was 60 µm, which was designed for a blocking voltage of 6.5 kV. An on-voltage of 5.4 V was obtained at a collector current of 100 A/cm2 and the specific differential on-resistance at 100 A/cm2 was 20 mOcm2 at room temperature, indicating proper bipolar operation. A switching evaluation of the SiC IGBTs was performed with a bus voltage of 3.6 kV and a load current of 10 A, and a turn-off loss of 1.2 mJ was obtained. This turn-off loss is very small compared to the values in the current literatures, and was estimated to be an over 80% reduction. The series operation of thin-drift-layer 6.5 kV SiC IGBTs can ensure a lower switching loss than the single operation of higher blocking voltage devices in power conversion systems.
