摘要:
A thyristor with insulated gates includes turn-off and turn-on MOSFETs. The turn-on MOSFET has a turn-on gate employing a p-type base as a channel and extending over an n-type base and an n-type emitter. The turn-off MOSFET has n-type drain and source layers formed in a p-type base layer, and a turn-off gate extending over the drain and source layers. The n-type drain layer is short-circuited with the p-type base layer via a drain electrode. The drain electrode is formed near an n-type emitter layer. When the thyristor is to be turned off, the first voltage is applied to the turn-on gate, and the second voltage is applied to the turn-off gate while the first voltage is applied to the turn-on gate. After the application of the second voltage continues for a predetermined period of time, the application of the first voltage to the turn-on gate is stopped. With this operation, the thyristor can be turned off even with a large current.

A thyristor with an insulated gate includes a p-type emitter layer, an n-type base layer, a p-type base layer, and an n-type emitter layer. A drain electrode contacting the p-type base layer is formed adjacent to one side of the n-type emitter layer. An n-type drain layer, which is short-circuited with the p-type base layer by the drain electrode, is formed. An n-type source layer is formed a predetermined distance away from the n-type drain layer. A turn-off insulated gate is formed between the n-type source layer and the n-type drain layer. A source electrode is connected to a cathode electrode. Thereby, turn-off capability of the thyristor can be improved.
