THYRISTOR CONTROLLED MODULE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: radio engineering and power engineering; single- and multi-phase controlled modules built around thyristors. SUBSTANCE: module has base mounting two metal plates on insulating layer which function as current collectors. First plate carries cathode-group thyristors secured through anode. Their top surfaces have cathode and gate electrodes. Anode-group thyristor are secured on second plate through cathode. Their top surface carries anodes and bottom surface, gate electrodes. Each thyristor component is surrounded by through p-type region. EFFECT: improved design. 5 cl, 6 dwg
