  • Abstract
    A new 550 V lateral base resistance controlled thyristor structure is proposed and its operation is rigorously characterised by two-dimensional numerical simulation in the off-state, on-state, and turn-off transient mode. Simulations indicate a 40% lower forward voltage drop over a comparable LIGBT, and a superior switching property over other competing lateral thyristor structures
