Abstract

The operation of a 500 V dielectrically isolated lateral emitter switched thyristor (DI-LEST) is described for the first time. Experimental devices exhibit an on-state voltage drop of 2.35 V at a current density of 100 A/cm 2 , and a maximum controllable current density of about 200 A/cm 2 . The on-state voltage drop decreases with increasing drift layer thickness consistent with the uniform lateral current flow observed in two-dimensional numerical simulations
