Abstract

We investigated the maximum controllable current characteristics of the CB-BRT (Corrugated p-Base-Base Resistance Controlled Thyristor), which suppresses the snap-back effectively and increases the maximum controllable current(MCC) by employing the corrugated p-base. Experimental result shows that, when compared with conventional BRT, the MCC of the CB-BRT exhibits good stability on various process parameters. The MCC of the CB-BRT is larger than that of the conventional BRT by 50%, and the variation of the MCC in CB-BRT, caused by variation of the process parameters, is only 20% of that of the conventional BRT.
