Abstract

A semiconductor controlled rectifier comprises a semiconductor substrate consisting of a first layer having a first conductivity type, a second layer having a second conductivity type and disposed adjacent to the first layer, and a plurality of base regions having the first conductivity type and a higher impurity concentration than the second layer and disposed at predetermined distances from one another within the second layer in at least one direction; a pair of electrodes are kept respectively in contact with the surfaces of the first and the second layer; and a control electrode is kept in contact with the respective base regions.
