A semiconductor component including a semiconductor substrate having a main electrode and a control electrode. The main electrode includes a groove in which is inserted a U-shaped insulation body. The control electrode is disposed in the groove and is insulated from the main electrode by the insulation body. A spring is provided in the groove between the control electrode and the insulation body and presses the control electrode against the semiconductor substrate. In this way, the control electrode is displaceable with respect to the insulation body in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the semiconductor substrate.

Semiconductor components

In a metal-ceramic housing for a high-power GTO, a space-saving auxiliary cathode connection (5a) capable of carrying current is achieved in that it is constructed by embedding in the insulating ring (4) of the housing and is connected directly to the cathode contact plate (9) via its own connecting elements (11, 13, 15).

In a method of making an encircling groove (8) on the edge of a semiconductor slice (5) of a power semiconductor component, first of all the edge is surface-ground and then the groove (8) is ground in one operation by means of a form-grinding wheel (3) correspondingly contoured on the edge. An especially high output is achieved with diamond grinding wheels of appropriate grain size and suitable bond.

Method of making an encircling groove on the edge of a semiconductor

In a method of producing a beveled peripheral profile on a semiconductor disk (1), the peripheral profile is ground by an obliquely-arranged grinding disk (7). The centering of the semiconductor disk (1) in the clamping device, consisting of clamping heads (3, 6), preferably occurs via a bonded-on molybdenum disk (2), which runs on a guide disk (9). The employment of a diamond grinding disk with suitable grains and binder is particularly appropriate.

Method of producing a beveled peripheral profile on a semiconductor disc

An improved electrochromic display device and a method of manufacturing it are disclosed. The improved device includes at least one layer of light absorbing and/or light reflecting fabric as a contrast enhancing adjuvant in the electrolyte of the device. According to the method of the invention a transparent support, at least one layer of fabric and a counter-electrode are assembled in laminated form and sealed together by an adhesive applied at the edges of the assembled structure.
