    摘要: Disclosed is a field controlled thyristor in which a first semiconductor region of N.sup.+ -type, a second semiconductor region of N-type, third semiconductor regions of P-type, a fourth semiconductor region of N.sup.- -type and a fifth semiconductor region of P.sup.+ -type are formed in a semiconductor substrate having two main surfaces, the first, second and third semiconductor regions being exposed in the first main surface and the fifth semiconductor region being exposed in the second main surface; and the third semiconductor regions of P-type are spaced from each other by a predetermined spacing. The third semiconductor regions are connected with surface-exposed semiconductor regions exposed in the first main surface. The impurity concentration in the second semiconductor region decreases from the first semiconductor region toward the third semiconductor region so that a low forward voltage drop can be achieved along with a high reverse blocking voltage. Also disclosed is a method for forming the third semiconductor regions and the surface-exposed semiconductor regions through a diffusion process alone.

    摘要: A gate turn-off thyristor in which a cathode-emitter layer is divided into a plurality of strip-like regions which are radially arrayed on a major surface of a semiconductor substrate in a coaxial multi-ring pattern including a plurality of coaxially arrayed rings. The cathode-emitter strips belonging to a given one of the rings have some radial length. The cathode-emitter strips belonging to the inner ring of a coaxial multi-ring pattern have a smaller radial length than that of the cathode-emitter strips constituting the outer ring. A cathode electrode is contacted to the cathode-emitter strip in low resistance ohmic contact. A gate electrode is ohmic contacted with a low resistance to a cathode-base layer located adjacent to the cathode-emitter strip so as to enclose it. An anode electrode is ohmic contacted with a low resistance to the anode-emitter layer. With the structure of GTO, turn-off operation of unit GTO's each including a cathode-emitter strip is equalized.

    摘要: Disclosed is an improved method of growing an epitaxial layer preventing auto-doping from a doped region exposed to a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A surface of a semiconductor substrate of one conductivity type is covered with a mask having a predetermined opening. Then, impurity atoms are doped into the substrate through the opening to form a region of the other conductivity type. An epitaxial layer of one conductivity type is deposited over the exposed surface of the substrate with another mask which covers the entire surface of the region and has an area larger than that of the exposed surface of the region. The latter mask prevents auto-doping from the region of the other conductivity type. The process is usable for controlling, for example, channel widths of field effect semiconductor devices uniformly and precisely.
