Abstract
A thyristor structure is provided with an anode-gate electrode which is used to speed up the device recovery and reduce its turn-off time. The turn-off process of the anode-gate thyristor is analyzed qualitatively using the charge control approach. Experimental device structures are described and the results of measurements are reported.
