Abstract
A novel semiconductor switching device is disclosed. The switching device is designed and constructed to include, for example, a highly interdigitated cathode/gate structure on both anode and cathode sides. The semiconductor switching device can be multi-loaded on both anode and cathode sides which provides a great deal of flexibility in operation.
