Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe a new operational mode of the Static Induction Thyristor (SIThy), namely the Light Triggered and Light Quenched Static Induction Thyristor (LTQSIThy) characterized by the very high triggering and quenching optical sensitivity and very high speed performance. The LTQSIThy is the totally light controlled self-turn-off type power switching device which is constructed by the optically triggerable Static Induction Photo-Thyristor (SIPThy) and the light sensitive element which is connected or integrated to the gate terminal of the SIPThy.
