ABSTRACT:
A compound semiconductor device including a MISFET and a thyristor connected in series wherein either the withstanding voltage between the MISFET p base layer and the thyristor p base layer is set lower than the withstanding voltage of the MISFET, the MISFET is turned off under a condition that the MISFET p base layer and the thyristor p base layer are connected via a p channel or the lateral resistance of the thyristor p base layer is reduced, thereby the safe operating region of the compound semiconductor device is extended.
