Abstract
A high voltage solid-state switch, which provides bidirectional blocking, consists of a first p- type semiconductor body having a major surface and being separated from a support member (semiconductor substrate) by a dielectric layer with a p+ type anode region located at one end of the semiconductor body and having a portion which is common with the major surface, an n+ type cathode region located at the other end and having a portion which is common with the major surface, and an n+ type gate region having a portion which is common with the major surface and in one embodiment being located essentially between the anode and cathode regions and in another embodiment being located other than directly between the anode and cathode regions. A second p type region of higher impurity concentration than the semiconductor body surrounds the cathode region. An n+ type semiconductor layer is sandwiched between the semiconductor body and the dielectric layer. Separate low resistance electrical contacts are made to the anode, cathode, and gate regions and to the substrate. The switch is capable of switching from an 'ON' and conducting state to an 'OFF' (blocking) state by adjusting the potential of the gate region and without having to adjust the potential of the anode or cathode regions.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
