Serial arrangement of photothyristors

摘要

A serial arrangement of photosensitive components of the planar-type has a first main surface on which a first photosensitive junction appears at the surface and a second main surface. The components are piled so that the second main surface of a component contacts the first main surface of the adjacent component. The second main surface of each component has a notch at its periphery along a lateral length corresponding at least to the distance between the photosensistive junction and the periphery.
