Abstract
A light-triggerable power thyristor having controllable emitter short circuits in the form of MIS transistors which are conductive in the blocking condition of the thyristor and suppressed during the ignition operation. An optically controlled npn lateral transistor is integrated on the cathode side of the thyristor in the light-irradiated emitter region, the collector of the npn lateral transistor being connected to the gates of the MIS transistors, its emitter being formed by a part of the thyristor emitter and its base consisting of a part of the p-base of the thyristor. The gates of the MIS transistors are connected to the anode of the thyristor over a charging resistor.
