According to the self-protection electrically-controlled
thyristor capable of accurately controlling the breakover
voltage, a sinking
distortion junction with a proper depth is manufactured at a forward blocking junction below an effective
cathode region of an amplification gate
electrode front auxiliary
thyristor, so that the thickness of a long base region of the front
thyristor is reduced, and a fixed region for
forward voltage breakover starting is formed. The turning current in the area is equal to the gate pole strong trigger current entering the amplification gate pole area, and is sufficient to implement strong trigger on the main thyristor, so that the main thyristor enters a safety mode of opening the amplification gate pole-
cathode perimeter, the thyristor has a self-trigger protection function on
forward voltage turning, the size and the shape of a sinking
distortion junction are accurately designed, and the reliability of the device is improved. And the breakover
voltage of the device can be accurately controlled. The
overvoltage self-protection device has the advantages that an
overvoltage self-protection function is integrated in the device, tedious
external circuit triggering protection is not needed, a thyristor application circuit is greatly simplified, and the reliability of a power electronic device is improved.
