RD-8137 HIGH VOLTAGE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING AN IMPROVED dv/dt CAPABILITY Abstract of the Disclosure A semiconductor device used for high voltage applications exhibits reduced susceptibility to being inadvertently turned-on by capacitive charging currents generated by relatively high voltage transients impressed across an anode and a cathode of the device. The capacitive charging. currents are manifested as a gate current which in a thyristor renders the device conductive if it exceeds a critical value and in a transistor is multiplied by the current gain. A conductive ring and adjacent groove are employed on the surface of the device, along with certain interconnections, to maintain the level of the transient-produced gate current at a value below the critical value.
