Presenters: Jerald Thomas, Steve Jungst April 25, Abstract: Thyristor devices are common, yet largely misunderstood semiconductor devices. In this presentation we go into the background, lithography and structure, basic operations, and finally common applications of the thyristor. At the end we will give our concluding thoughts as well as five key concepts related to the thyristor that we believe all EE students should understand.

The thyristor is a unique device, with a unique lithography, capable of many applications. Applications regarding alternating current with lower frequencies are where the thyristor really stands above others. 11

A SCR will continue to conduct current across the anode-cathode junction when the gate potential has been removed as long as the aforementioned current is above the thyristor latching current. When compared to a transistor, a thyristor has lower switching speeds. Thyristors main application area is regarding alternating current A thyristor has three main modes of operation: forward blocking, reverse blocking, and forward conducting. The thyristor is the successor to the thyratron, a gas filled tube device that could switch large currents using a small control voltage. 13
