ABSTRACT:
To provide for surge protection in fast-acting semiconductor devices, e.g., power transistors, MOSFET's, and IGBT's a device can be designed to produce a self-induced electromotive voltage which counteracts a surge. To this end, a preferred arrangement of electrical terminals is disclosed, as well as preferred shapes of such terminals.
