ABSTRACT:
A switching device including four layers (20), (22), (42) and (44) and a gate electrode (32). In its blocking state the switching device operates as a conventional thyristor. The device is turned off by reducing the effective resistance of the upper base region (42) by applying a negative voltage to the gate (32).
