ABSTRACT:
An insulated gate device includes at least one cell having base and emitter region surfaces disposed in ohmic contact with a metallic emitter electrode. The cell is constructed to provide a larger ratio of base region surface area to emitter region surface area in contact with the emitter electrode than is found in the prior art. The cell is further constructed to provide paths for reverse current flow from a drift region through the base region and to the emitter electrode; these paths being spaced form the cell's emitter-base junction.
