Abstract

The dv/dt characteristics of a bidirectional thyristor are improved by irradiating selected portions of the device with high energy crystal lattice-damaging particles. In an exemplary embodiment, the commutating dv/dt of a triac is enhanced by the masked, selective irradiation of the boundaries between conducting portions and between the gate and the conducting portions.
