    摘要: A Hall effect semiconductor device is provided with means for clipping or focusing emitted carriers to form a centralized columnated beam, and trimming means for accurately controlling the amount of magnetic deflection due to Lorentz force. Emitters from an emitter region travel through a base region under influence of an externally applied drift field toward a pair of spaced collector regions. The polarity of a perpendicularly applied magnetic field determines deflection of the carriers toward one or the other of the collector regions. The columnating means comprises a pair of spaced auxiliary collector regions intermediate the emitter region and the primary collector regions for collecting carriers not within a central angle or cone. A columnated beam is provided by carriers passing between the auxiliary collectors within the central angle or cone. Trimming of the beam is provided by a selectable electric field applied in the same direction as deflection of the carriers to thus control the amount of beam deflection and insure that the beam is directed toward the one or other primary collector.

    摘要: A gate turn-off device is disclosed having a load current carrying power transistor regeneratively collector-base coupled with another transistor, and includes a third, shunting transistor providing high gain turn-off. The device is turned ON by signal current of one polarity applied to the base of the power transistor driving the latter into conduction to carry load current, and the device remains ON upon removal of the signal due to base drive supplied by the collector of the other transistor in the regenerative loop. A third transistor is connected to one of the collector-base junctions to shuntingly break the regenerative loop when the third transistor is biased into conduction, thus providing higher gain turn-off. A single ON-OFF control terminal is disclosed, as well as separate ON and OFF control terminals.

    摘要: A system is provided for producing plasma pinch X-rays usable in X-ray lithography. Ionized heated plasma is repeatably generated in a first area directly from solid material without exploding the latter. X-rays are generated in a second area by passing high current through the plasma causing radial inward magnetic field pinching. Accurate control and improved intensity performance, and greater flexibility in selection of X-ray emitting materials, are provided by the separation of the plasma generating and the X-ray pinch generating functions. Common electrode structure is provided for plasma generating and for plasma pinching, which common electrode also provides a cylindrical plasma communication passage from the first to the second area, and provides an X-ray emission passage of desired axial orientation.

    摘要: A gate turn-off device is formed by the integration of a power transistor with a lateral thyristor. The thyristor has a split emission path from its emitter, part of the emitter current completing a regenerative loop to maintain conduction after removal of a gating signal, and the remainder of the emitter current supplying base drive to the power transistor to render the latter conductive. In the ON state of the device, most of the load current flows through the power transistor, with only a small holding current flowing through the thyristor. Because of the low level of holding current, the thyristor is easily turned off by a small negative gating signal, breaking the regenerative loop, thus terminating emitter current whereby there is no base drive for the power transistor and hence the device is OFF.

    摘要: A diode is integrated on a common substrate with a thyristor to form a parasitic transistor in the gate circuit of the thyristor for amplifying gate current thereto. In addition, gate sensitivity is further enhanced by this formation because the injection efficiency across the thyristor anode-base junction is increased, thus reducing the amount of gate current necessary to trigger the thyristor. The diode cathode, diode anode and substrate form an emitter, base and collector, respectively, of the parasitic transistor. The junction formed by the substrate and the thyristor anode region is forward biased and supplies collector current for the parasitic transistor, this junction being inactive with respect to the junction formed by the substrate and the diode anode region. Thus gate current flowing through the diode to the gate of the thyristor is increased by the additional collector current afforded by the parasitic transistor. This parasitic transistor formation enables the use of a shorted-emitter thyristor while also achieving a high degree of gate sensitivity without the usual drawbacks of temperature and dv/dt sensitivity associated with a nonshorted-emitter high gate sensitivity thyristor.

    摘要: A power thyristor is provided with a pair of antiseries back to back diode junctions forming an open base transistor thermally coupled to the thyristor and electrically connected between the thyristor gate and cathode. The diode junctions shunt gate current above a given sensed temperature of the power thyristor, for protecting the latter by preventing turn-on thereof. The diode junctions have nonsymmetrical leakage current characteristics to insure protective shunting of forward gate drive in one direction but blocking leakage in the other direction to prevent draining a reverse charged phasing capacitor. The latter is thus charged beginning from the same starting reference point in each cycle whereby to insure accurate phase control in an AC gating system.

    摘要: An external resistance is presented between the gate and cathode of a thermally sensitive thyristor which varies in accordance with a changing voltage applied across the thyristor. The changing voltage sweeps the varying external resistance through its operating range which in turn expands the region of temperature sensitivity with respect to breakover voltage by sweeping the shifting curves of switching temperature vs. gate to cathode resistance for the thyristor. In preferred form, a field effect transistor (FET) (10) is connected between the gate (8) and cathode (4) of the thermally sensitive thyristor (6) and is biased by the same voltage supply applied across the thyristor. The FET presents an external gate to cathode resistance which varies in accordance with the changing bias level on the FET, which is the same changing bias applied across the thyristor. The range of variance of this added external resistance must be between 10,000 ohms and 1 megohm. The breakover voltage of the thyristor can be made to vary slowly with respect to temperature, rather than exhibiting sharp drop in a narrow critical temperature region.

    摘要: A temperature sensitive thyristor is incorporated in a relaxation oscillator to provide active temperature sensing. As temperature decreases, the breakover voltage V.sub.BO of the thyristor increases, and when V.sub.BO becomes greater than the supply voltage, oscillations will cease, thus providing a low temperature alarm point. As temperature increases, V.sub.BO decreases and the amplitude of oscillation diminishes, thus providing a high temperature alarm point. This is a "fail-safe" arrangement because component failure also provides a warning condition (absence of oscillation). Frequency of oscillation may also be sensed as an indication of temperature.
