Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3130219
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To provide a semiconductor device for power control such as a triac, having a small chip size and capable of performing zero-cross operation without the necessity of optical input.
CONSTITUTION: Concerning a thyristor 32 capable of forming a triac by joining thyristors having the same structure in reverse parallel, the gate electrode 71 of a MOSFET 39 provided for performing zero-cross operation in the thyristor 32 is charged by leakage current from a diode section 41. Since conductive films 77a, 77b out of oxygen-doped semi-insulating polysilicon are formed on the surface of a PN junction composed of an N+-type substrate 53 and a P+-type diffusion region 76 forming a diode section 41, leakage current supplied from the diode section 41 increases, and it becomes possible to perform zero-cross operation surely even if there is not any optical input.
