摘要

In a semiconductor device with a four-layer structure having the so-called thyristor characteristic, when the control electrode for controlling its breakover voltage is constructed by the Schottky barrier and a means to apply a stress to the barrier, the breakover voltage of the said semiconductor device can be controlled by the stress. If this device is assembled in a circuit system, the circuit system can be set to either the "off" or "on" state, corresponding to the applied stress.
