A photo-coupler semiconductor device includes a semiconductor light emitter and a semiconductor light detector coupled optically with each other through an optical guide. A portion of the optical guide close to the semiconductor light detector is made of glass. The glass portion of the optical guide is brought into intimate contact with a glass layer which is formed on a light sensitive region of the semiconductor light detector. The intimate contact is made by melting the glass portion on the glass layer.

摘要:
A field controlled thyristor is disclosed which comprises a first emitter region exposed to one main surface of a semiconductor substrate and having a first conductivity type, a second emitter region exposed to the other main surface of the substrate and having a second conductivity type, a base region connecting the first and the second emitter region, and a gate region provided in the base region. The gate region consists of a slab-like first portion disposed parallel to both the emitter and a second portion connecting the first slab-like portion with one of the main surfaces of the semiconductor substrate. The impurity concentration of the base region is higher in the portion of the base region nearer to the emitter region having the same conductivity type as that of the base region than in the portion of the base region nearer to the emitter region having the opposite conductivity type to that of the base region. The field controlled thyristor has a high forward blocking voltage gain (anode-cathode voltage/gate bias voltage), a large current rating, and a high switching power capability and its switching time is very short.
摘要:
The whole body of a semiconductor device with its pn junction exposed ends covered by insulating glass is subjected to the exposure to radiation having an energy of higher than 0.5 MeV in terms of the reduced energy of electron beams while the semiconductor device is maintained at temperatures higher than 300.degree. C., and preferably higher than 350.degree. C. As a result, the life time of the minority carriers in the semiconductor device can be shortened without increasing the leakage current in the reverse direction.
