摘要:
A light activated thyristor with high dv/dt capability is provided by disposing first and second thyristors, one a primary and the other a pilot thyristor, in a semiconductor body having first and second major surface. The two thyristors have common first emitter, first base, and second base regions, and have spaced apart second emitter regions adjoining the second major surface of the body. The second emitter region of the second thyristor consists of first and second portions, first portion abutting the second base region of the second thyristor to create a ratarded electrical field. An exposed portion of the second major surface at the second emitter region of the second thyristor activates the second thyristor when electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths corresponding substantially to the energy bandgap of the semiconductor body strikes this exposed portion. The cathode electrode makes ohmic contact with the second emitter region of the first thyristor, and the anode electrode makes ohmic contact with the common first emitter regions. A floating contact also makes ohmic contact to the second emitter region of the second thyristor and the common second base region between the thyristors.

A bidirectional light-activated thyristor is provided which has a first and a second thyristor portion arranged in inverse-parallel with each other with a predetermined positional relation. The first and second thyristor portions are electrically isolated from each other by an isolating section. The bidirectional light-activated thyristor is provided with a first and a second photo trigger means for triggering the first and second thyristor portions respectively. Means is further provided for blocking a photo-trigger signal from the first photo-trigger means to the second thyristor portion and from the second photo-trigger means to the first thyristor portion.

A light-activated semiconductor-controlled rectifier apparatus has four layers of PNPN. The outer N-type layer comprises a first portion having a plurality of short-circuiting apertures and a second portion substantially separated from the first portion by an intermediate layer of P-type. One of the main electrodes is in ohmic contact with the first portion, with the intermediate P-type layer exposed through the short-circuiting apertures, with the periphery of the second portion and with the portion of the intermediate layer adjacent to the second portion, so that a photo signal is radiated on the second portion.

A light emitting semiconductor device and a light detecting semiconductor device are coupled optically with each other through a light guide. The light guide is made of a single piece of light transmissible insulating material and at least its end portion associated with the semiconductor light detector is brought into wet contact with a light sensing region of the semiconductor light detector including its neighboring area. While being in fluid state, the light transmissible insulator held in wet contact with the semiconductor light emitter and detector is shaped into a predetermined configuration and thereafter hardened to form the light guide.
