Description
The thyristor is a four-layered, three terminal semiconducting
device, with each layer consisting of alternately N-type or P-type
material, for example P-N-P-N. The main terminals, labelled anode
and cathode, are across the full four layers, and the control
terminal, called the gate, is attached to p-type material near to
the cathode. (A variant called an SCS—Silicon Controlled
Switch—brings all four layers out to terminals.) The operation of a
thyristor can be understood in terms of a pair of tightly coupled
bipolar junction transistors, arranged to cause the self-latching
action:
