Abstract
A reverse conducting gate-turnoff thyristor includes a switching device section, a diode section, and an isolating section located between the switching device section and the diode section. The isolating section includes an impurity layer formed by controlling impurity diffusion and having an impurity concentration lower than those of the switching device section and the diode section.
