A method for operating a semiconductor power device by in a forward conducting mode instead of an avalanche mode during a voltage fly-back during an inductive switch operation for absorbing a transient energy with less stress. The method includes a step of clamping the semiconductor power device with a Zener diode connected between a gate metal and a drain metal of the semiconductor power device to function as a gate-drain (GD) clamp diode with the GD clamp diode having an avalanche voltage lower than a source/drain avalanche voltage of the semiconductor power device whereby as the voltage fly-back inducing a drain voltage increase rapidly reaching the avalanche voltage of the GD clamp diode for generating the forward conducting mode.
