Abstract
Abstract This is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 641,367 filed May 25, 1967 and now abandoned. This invention relates to a gate controlled PNPN semiconductor device having turnoff capability, and more particularly to a turnoff thyristor having both low current gain characteristics and high reverse gate to cathode emitter voltage characteristics. In this device an emitter region is formed in a base region by diffusion and gate contacts are alloyed through the emitter region to the base region.
