Emitter switching thyristor with trench-plane gate and method for manufacturing the same
By introducing a trench-planar truncation structure into the emitter switch thyristor, the high conduction power consumption and latch failure problems caused by the Snapback phenomenon are solved, and the effects of low turning voltage, low conduction loss and high maximum shutdown current are achieved.

AI Technical Summary
The existing emitter switch thyristors have Snapback when they are turned on, resulting in large power consumption on the conduction and latching is prone to occur under large currents, resulting in device failure.
An emitter switch thyristor structure with a trench-plane trench is adopted. By setting overlapping p-base regions above the n-drift region and setting trenches on the left side of the p-base region on the left, the trench oxide layer and heavily doped polysilicon are filled to form a trench trench and a planar trench to improve the Snapback effect.
Significantly reduces conduction loss, improves maximum shutdown current, simplifies manufacturing processes, and improves the application circuit control complexity of the device.
