    摘要: An insulated gate thyristor (IGTH) (40,80) that is built on IGBT technology rather than SCR or thyristor technology. The device provides the low on-resistance of a thyristor with the gate turn-on and turn-off capability of an IGBT. The device may be fabricated in a somewhat modified IGBT process, in a cellular (40) or stripe (80) configuration. First the process is modified (by reduced doping) in order to promote (rather than inhibit) latch-up. Second, certain regions (52) are formed without source diffusions to create a lateral MOSFET (T.sub.5) that can turn off the latched IGBT.

    摘要: A thyristor of the present invention turns on by applying a specified voltage to a first control electrode and turns off by applying a specified voltage to a second control electrode. These first and second control electrodes are independent of each other, so that the turning-on and turning-off conditions can be determined independently. When a transistor having the second control electrode is turned on by applying the specified voltage to the second control electrode until just before the turning-on, a first main electrode and a first semiconductor region can be electrically connected, so that the back gate potential of the transistor having the first control electrode can be fixed at the potential of the first main electrode.

    摘要: In a high-reverse-voltage GTO thyristor, a negative beveling (6) with comparatively high beveling angle (.alpha.) is possible as edge contouring as a result of separating the p-type base layer into a central p-type base layer (4) of small depth and high edge concentration and a p-type base edge layer (5) of greater depth and lower edge concentration.The production of the two p-type base layers (4, 5) is preferably carried out by simultaneous diffusion of two acceptors with different diffusion constants.

    摘要: A MOSFET is provided between a main thyristor and an auxiliary thyristor for controlling the main thyristor. The source and drain regions of the MOSFET are also used as a first N-type emitter region of the main thyristor and a second N-type emitter region of the auxiliary thyristor. The MOSFET and the auxiliary thyristor are controlled by an output of a gate energization circuit. When the MOSFET is turned on by an output of the gate energization circuit, the main thyristor is connected to the auxiliary thyristor. At this time, the auxiliary thyristor is turned on by the output of the gate energization circuit, and the main thyristor is also turned on due to the turn-on operation of the auxiliary thyristor. When the MOSFET is in the OFF state, the main thyristor is electrically isolated from the auxiliary thyristor.

    摘要: The invention relates to a symmetrical power semiconductor device having peripheral connection slabs and to a method of fabricating such a device. An essentially polycrystalline P/N epitaxial layer (23) lies flush with a main face (S1) of the device by virture of grooves (21) obtained by etching and overlaid with a peripheral P/N zone (25). A P/N layer (22) is diffused between the epitaxial layer (23) and a monocrystalline N/P layer (20) in order to establish a junction (J2) which the grooves (21) and the peripheral zone (25) serve to bring out on the main face (S1). The invention is applicable to symmetrical bipolar devices, and in particular to gate-triggered thyristors.

    摘要: A self aligned method of fabricating a self aligned semiconductor device employs an initial step in which a first window having an inner perimeter and outer perimeter is opened through a first protective layer situated atop a semiconductor substrate, to divide the substrate into three separate zones. The window exposes a first surface portion of the semiconductor substrate and circumferentially defines or encompasses a second central portion of the protective layer as well as a second unexposed surface portion of the substrate. A third surface portion of the substrate lies beyond the outer perimeter of the first window. Precisely aligned substrate regions of the same or different conductivity type can be established by using differentially etchable materials to mask designated surface portions of the substrate.
