Abstract
The present invention concerns a reverse conduction thyristor. The diode egrated with the thyristor comprises a P + anode, an N layer having slight doping, an N + cathode intended for facilitating the electrical contact and, between the P + cathode and the slightly doped N layer, a thin extra layer of the P type whose presence increases the critical speed of increase of the direct voltage applied to the thyristor in its blocked state.
