THE INVENTION CONCERNS SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY. THE INVENTION CONSISTS OF A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WHICH INCLUDES A PARTICULARLY LOW RESISTANCE CONNECTION WITH A REGION WHICH PASSES A HIGH CURRENT. FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODES 34, 32 ARE ARRANGED ON A MAIN SURFACE OF THE DEVICE AND THE FIRST ELECTRODE MAKES SIDE CONTACT WITH A CONTROL REGION OF THE DEVICE WHILE THE SECOND ELECTRODE MAKES LOW IMPEDANCE VERTICAL CONTACT WITH THE NEXT REGION. STUDENT. A CONDUCTIVE BLADE 43 IS SUPPORTED BETWEEN SPACED PARTS OF THE SECOND ELECTRODE AND IS THUS HELD REMOTE FROM THE FIRST ELECTRODE, IN VERTICAL DIRECTION. APPLICATION TO POWER TRANSISTORS OPERATING AT HIGH FREQUENCY. |
