SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

PURPOSE: To reduce the charge accumulated on a semiconductor device by a method, wherein a first conductivity-type region is buried in an outer region adjacent to the surface of a semiconductor and doped more highly with dopant than the outer region, and at least an electrode is provided so as to connect the regions together. CONSTITUTION: Negative charge carriers flow from a region 1 directly into regions 7 and 9. A PN-junction 12 is blocked, and an anode-side short circuit is not capable of displaying sufficient effect. The PN-junction 12 overflows with charge carriers when a current density is high, and negative charge carriers flow not only into the region 9 but also in a region 10 passing through the PN-junction. In this case, a short circuit which is formed between the regions 9 and 10 through the intermediary of an anode electrode 11 becomes effective. The short circuit deteriorates the outer region 7 in emitter efficiency. A very small amount of positive charge carriers is discharged ...

Cylinder head for 4-stroke engines through which air flows, at which has a single valve and is slide-valve controlled

In order to obtain good efficiency in internal combustion engines, a compact combustion chamber (which permits a high compression), large inlet and exhaust cross-sections, low mechanical stressing and good swirling are needed. In our principle, this is achieved in that the combustion chamber is opened and closed by only one valve. The primary control is performed by way of a control sleeve running round the valve, which is driven by the camshaft at the same rotation speed. When clean air is drawn in, that is to say direct injection, in the rotating control sleeve a spin is imparted to the air flow, which ensures good swirling during compression. At the top dead centre piston position the control sleeve, the inlet and exhaust always overlap, so that air flows through the cylinder head, thereby ensuring a thermal balance with simultaneous improvement of the exhaust quality. A diaphragm in the inlet further improves the charge. This control principle is suitable for all 4-stroke engines, especially ...

Diode with soft snap-off behaviour

When the diode current is switched off, depending on the type of diode and the magnitude of the current slope, the reverse current may suddenly snap off with a virtually infinite slope. This may result, on the one hand, in the destruction of the diode itself or in the destruction of the components connected to the diode. If p<+>-type regions (5) are introduced into the n<+>-type zone (4), for example in the case of p<+>-n-n<+> power diodes and the n<+>-type zone (4) is so lightly doped that, at maximum reverse voltage, the space-charge zone (11) extends up to the vicinity of the p<+>-type regions (5), a current-dependent and a voltage-dependent charge-carrier replenishment takes place and this counteracts a snap-off of the current. <IMAGE>

Thyristor with edge structure

The cathode-side base region of the thyristor is subdivided into a central region (7) and an edge region (5) bevelled at a small angle. The central region has a higher edge dopant concentration and, on the cathode-side surface, a higher doping gradient than the edge region. It is thus possible to, on the one hand, highly dope the cathode-side base region (4) centrally and, on the other hand, dimension it at the edge so as to achieve a sufficient reverse voltage. Any running of the space-charge region into the central region is prevented at the surface (11) by ensuring that the overall dopant concentration in the edge region within the space-charge region is greater than 1 ô 10<12> atoms cm<-2>. <IMAGE>

Process of controlling the film thickness of blow-formed and axially and preferably biaxially stretched tubular films

ABSTRACT PROCESS OF CONTROLLING THE FILM THICKNESS OF BLOW-FORMED AND AXIALLY AND PREFERABLY BIAXIALLY STRETCHED TUBULAR FILMS Tubular films made in an extruding and blow-forming plant are collapsed and are subsequently axially and preferably biaxially stretched in that they are re-inflated to form an inflated tubular film or expanded to form a tubular film. That inflated or expanded tubular film is then moved through an oven, from which the film is withdrawn and re-collapsed while moving at a velocity which is higher than the feeding speed in accordance with the desired stretching ratio. In order to ensure that the stretched tubular films have a substantially uniform thickness distribution throughout their periphery, the film thickness of the stretched tubular film which has emerged from the oven is measured around the tubular film before or after it has been collapsed and in dependence on the thus measured thicknesses of the peripheral profile the thickness distribution around the peripheral profile of the tubular film formed in the extruding and blow-forming plant is so controlled that any deviation from the average film thickness of the film which has been stretched in the oven, which deviation has been caused by a non-uniform heating of the film and possibly to other disturbing influences exerted on the film in the oven, will substantially be compensated.

Asymmetric thyristor

The blocking properties of asymmetric thyristors which block on one side are improved by means of shortcircuits on the anode side and cathode side.

This results in it being possible to reduce the shunt effect of the diode (17) to a level which is determined by the desired, permissible off-state currents. <IMAGE>

Pulse generator circuit arrangement

A circuit which responds to the application of a pulse to its input (6) by generating a pulse at its output (3), the output pulse having a minimum duration T and being extended by the remaining length of the input pulse should the input pulse be still present at the end of the time T, comprises a pair of semiconductor switches (1,2) connecting the output (3) to points (5,4) carrying respective logic levels.
