A new high-voltage integrated switch: the "thyristor dual" function

In this paper, a new monolithic integrated device providing the "thyristor dual" function without auxiliary supply and based on the functional integration mode is investigated. The influence of the physical and technological parameters of this new structure upon the main electrical characteristics and the physical behaviour has been analyzed using the ATLAS software tool. An optimized device is proposed and test structures have been fabricated.
