| Abstract |
A novel technique for improving the blocking capability of thyristors is shown. It is demonstrated that the blocking voltage can be increased by keeping the current gain of the thyristor as low as possible in the region of the junction termination. This is realized by electron irradiation masking the central device region with metal shields. |
