Abstract

See full text

A latching transistor is described having both high current capacity and high turn-off gain. A selectively shorted anode emitter provides a four-layer structure capable of sustaining current flow only under those portions of a cathode emitter adjacent interdigitated gate fingers and particularly not in the center of the cathode emitter fingers or beneath contact areas. Additionally, a control region is provided for conveniently adjusting the amount of anode emitter shorting for optimizing turn-off speed, foward voltage drop, and gate triggering characteristics.
