Abstract
Abstract An improved transistor, such as a control transistor, of the type having a plurality of strip-like emitter regions formed in a single base region in a semiconductor body. The strip-like emitter regions are of different widths and preferably are positioned in spaced side by side relationship and decrease in width in the direction of succession of the strips.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
56 words
In a transistor formed in a semiconductor body, said transistor having at least three individual strip-like emitter zones formed in a single base zone and extending to a single major surface of said semiconductor body, the improvement wherein each of said strip-like emitter zones has a width different from the widths of the other emitter zones.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
56 words
In a transistor formed in a semiconductor body, said transistor having at least three individual strip-like emitter zones formed in a single base zone and extending to a single major surface of said semiconductor body, the improvement wherein each of said strip-like emitter zones has a width different from the widths of the other emitter zones.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A transistor as defined in claim 1 wherein said strip-like emitter zones are arranged in a spaced side by side relationship.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A transistor as defined in claim 2 wherein said strip-like emitter zones are parallel to one another.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A transistor as defined in claim 2 wherein said strip-like emitter zones have decreasing widths in the direction of the succession of said strip-like emitter zones.
