Abstract

See full text

So as to avoid untimely triggering of a sensitive thyristor, it is given the structure shown in the accompanying figure, with a passivated furrow SP3 which divides the gate layer P1 into two completely separate zones (zone B and zone C). Zone B comprises on the one hand the whole of the cathode region N1 and on the other a first surface portion P'1 of the P layer adjacent the furrow SP3. Zone C comprises on the one hand an auxiliary N type surface region N3 and on the other a second surface portion P'1 of the layer P1. The cathode metallization CME1 covers the cathode region N1 without covering the region P'1. The gate metallization MG covers at least partially the region P'1. An auxiliary metallization MA separate from the others covers the region P'1 and the region N3.
