A thyristor (/ θ aɪ ˈ r ɪ s t ər /, from a combination of Greek language θύρα, meaning "door" or "valve", and transistor [1]) is a solid-state semiconductor device which can be thought of as being a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing the passage of current in one direction but not the other, often under control of a gate electrode, that is used in high power applications ...
The wafer device is similar to a gate turn-off thyristor (GTO). They can be turned on and off by a gate signal, and withstand higher rates of voltage rise (dv/dt), such that no snubber is required for most applications. The structure of an IGCT is very similar to a GTO thyristor. In an IGCT, the gate turn-off current is greater than the anode ...
An MOS-controlled thyristor (MCT) is a voltage-controlled fully controllable thyristor, controlled by MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors). It was invented by V.A.K. Temple in 1984, and was principally similar to the earlier insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). [ 1 ]
A TRIAC (triode for alternating current; also bidirectional triode thyristor or bilateral triode thyristor [1]) is a three-terminal electronic component that conducts current in either direction when triggered. The term TRIAC is a genericised trademark.
The thyristor power controller switches 60% of the solid waves to the load while blocking 40%. The operating mode is to be regarded as unproblematic. Only in the case of a too weakly designed network, it is possible for illuminating installations which are connected to the same network to have undesired luminance fluctuations (flicker effect).

[8] [11] [12] In 1957 Frosch and Derick published their work on building the first silicon dioxide transistors, including a NPNP transistor, the same structure as the IGBT. [13] The basic IGBT mode of operation, where a pnp transistor is driven by a MOSFET, was first proposed by K. Yamagami and Y. Akagiri of Mitsubishi Electric in the Japanese ...
