ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an insulated-gate thyristor comprising a base layer of a first conductivity type, having first and second major surfaces, a first main-electrode region of the first conductivity type, formed in the first major surface of the base layer, a second main-electrode region of a second conductivity type, formed in the second major surface of the base layer, at least a pair of grooves extending from the first main-electrode region into the base layer, and opposing each other and spaced apart by a predetermined distance, insulated gate electrodes formed within the grooves, and a turn-off insulated-gate transistor structure for releasing carriers of the second conductivity type from the base layer.
