Abstract

The present invention relates generally to monolithically integrated insulated gate semiconductor devices and more particularly to an improved structure which provides for high current density, low voltage drop conduction in both forward and reverse directions. More particularly, a single insulated gate device can initiate and interrupt current flow in both the forward and reverse directions.
