A novel grid structure for a field controlled thyristor includes a current controlling grid structure interdigitated with a cathode structure in which the surface area of the cathode structure is substantially greater than that of the grid structure. High forward blocking voltage gain (anode voltage/grid voltage) and low on-state losses in a turn-off type field controlled thyristor are accomplished by providing a surface grid portion and a buried portion which are connected to the surface grid structure and substantially underlies the cathode structure. The buried grid structure is constructed in a manner to provide a high aspect ratio for the channel region. |
