摘要: A lateral MOS-controlled thyristor (LMCT) structure that uses an MOS gate to turn it both on and off is presented. The device offers improved maximum turn-off current capability forward voltage drop. former achieved by using a DMOS transistor parasitic vertical p-n-p transistor, while the latter eliminating in conventional structure. utilizes resurf technique achieve high area efficiency, breakdown voltage, reliability. Devices have more than 250-V blocking were fabricated dielectrically isolated silicon tubs standard bipolar-CMOS-DMOS process. >
