    摘要: In a reverse conducting semiconductor device, which forms a composition circuit, a positive voltage that is higher than a positive voltage of a collector electrode may be applied to an emitter electrode. In this case, in a region of the reverse conducting semiconductor device in which a return diode is formed, a body contact region functions as an anode, a drift contact region functions as a cathode, and current flows from the anode to the cathode. When a voltage having a lower electric potential than the collector electrode is applied to the trench gate electrode at that time, p-type carriers are generated within the cathode and a quantity of carriers increases within the return diode. As a result, a forward voltage drop of the return diode lowers, and constant loss of electric power can be reduced. Electric power loss can be reduced in a power supply device that uses such a composition circuit in which a switching element and the return diode are connected in reverse parallel.

    摘要: A lateral semiconductor device has a semiconductor layer on an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor layer has a region of a first conduction type and a region of a second conduction type with a drift region therebetween. The drift region is provided by a region of the first conduction type and a region of the second conduction type. The first and second conduction type drift regions are so arranged that when a reverse voltage bias is applied across the first and second conduction type regions of the semiconductor layer, the second conduction type drift region has an excess of charge relative to the first conduction type drift region which varies substantially linearly from the end of the drift region towards the first conduction type region of the semiconductor layer to the end of the drift region towards the second conduction type region of the semiconductor layer.

    摘要: A high voltage diamond based switching device capable of sustaining high currents in the on state with a relatively low impedance and a relatively low optical switching flux, and capable of being switched off in the presence of the high voltage being switched. The device includes a diamond body having a Schottky barrier contact, held in reverse bias by the applied voltage to be switched, to an essentially intrinsic diamond layer or portion in the diamond body, a second metal contact, and an optical source or other illuminating or irradiating device such that when the depletion region formed by the Schottky contact to the intrinsic diamond layer is exposed to its radiation charge carriers are generated. Cain in the total number of charge carriers then occurs as a result of these charge carriers accelerating under the field within the intrinsic diamond layer and generating further carriers by assisted avalanche breakdown.
