    摘要: A thyristor having a pnpn semiconductor body comprising MISFET structures 9 and 12 through 16 which serve as controllable emitter base shorts formed at the edge side relative to one of the emitter layers and each of the structures is composed of a semiconductor region 9 inserted into the emitter layer which is contacted by an electrode 6 for the emitter layer 1 and also includes a subregion 12 of the adjacent base layer 2 and of an intervening channel region 13 which is formed of an edge zone of the emitter layer 1 and is also composed of a gate covering the channel region in an insulated manner. The gate also convers the subregion 12 of the base layer 2 and forms a MIS capacitor C1. A voltage generator 23 drives the gate 15 with a voltage which alternates between first and second values. At the change from the first voltage value which lies below the threshold value of the channel region 13 to the second voltage level which is close to the threshold voltage of the subregion 12 of the base layer, the thyristor ignites due to the shift in current of the MIS capacitor C1 which serves as the ignition current and, thus, when the change from the second to the first voltage occurs, the thyristor is quenched.

    摘要: A power thyristor with internal current amplification has an auxilary emitter region which is contacted by an auxiliary emitter electrode. Disconnectible current paths designed as MIS structures are provided between the auxiliary emitter electrode and the base layer adjacent to the auxiliary emitter region. The current paths, which effect a stabilization in their switched-on state, are switched off for the duration of the ignition operation in order to increase the trigger sensitivity. Each MIS structure exhibits a short-circuit region inserted into the adjacent base layer spaced from the auxiliary emitter region, said short-circuit region being connected to the adjacent base layer over a conductive coating.

    摘要: A thyristor has a semiconductor member with a pnpn-layer sequence, a plurality of n(p)-emitter parts, and switching transistors arranged at the edges of the n(p)-emitter parts. The switching transistors respectively include a p(n) semiconductor zone inserted in one of the n(p)-emitter parts, a partial zone of the p(n)-base, and an intermediately disposed channel zone covered by an insulated gate. Rapid and effective reduction of the electron-hole plasma flooding the p-base and n-base during quenching of the thyristor is achieved by a current source connected between electrodes for the p(n) semiconductor zones and a cathode (anode) feed line, the current source delivering an extraction current pulse.

    摘要: The invention is intended to specify an electrical measuring method for an operating temperature and a modified component for carrying out the method which improves the monitoring of the component. Measured temperature values are intended to be delivered without any time delay and without requiring additional surfaces for temperature sensors. Location-related temperature values need to be able to be measured. The invention proposes a method for said location-related electrical measurement of the operating temperature of a likewise proposed MOS power component with a gate electrode network comprising a material whose temperature coefficient of the electrical resistance is known. The gate electrode network is divided into a plurality of measuring sections with contact point pairs which are respectively connected to contacts (71.1, 72.1; 71.2, 72.2; 71.3, 7; 72.3, 7). The contact points in each contact point pair are at a certain distance from one another, and each of the measuring sections situated between the contact point pairs is respectively electrically insulated from the other measuring sections, so that there is no electrical influencing between the measuring sections. The electrical resistances of the measuring sections are measured directly on the gate electrode network during the operation of the semiconductor power component when gate voltages are applied between the contact points of the gate electrode (4) using measuring voltages (u1, u2, u3) superimposed on the gate voltages. The electrical resistances of the measuring sections are used to determine the temperatures of the MOS semiconductor power component on the measuring sections.
