Abstract
A semiconductor device is formed from a thyristor and a MOSFET cascade-connected in which the thyristor includes a bipolar transistor cascade-connected with the MOSFET, the base (p semiconductor region) of which is adapted to be punched through by the application of a working voltage. Thus, the thyristor can easily be latched and unlatched in response to the turn-on and turn-off of the MOSFET. Thus the semiconductor device can be securely on/off controlled by only the single gate (G) of the MOSFET. By using such semiconductor device as a switching element in a flash control device, a high performance flash control device with high flashing efficiency is provided.
