ABSTRACT:
Power semiconductor devices having active regions of multicellular construction achieve increased turn-off current capacity through limitation of the on-state current density in peripheral cells of the active region. Devices that may benefit from the present invention include MOSTOTs, IGTs, GTOs, and bipolar transistors, by way of example.
