Abstract

A monolithically integrated lateral semiconductor device preferably comprising a pair of inherent transistors driven by an inherent lateral four layer structure is disclosed. The disclosed device includes inherent vertical and lateral bipolar transistors. An inherent lateral four layer structure is also included within the device to provide a sufficient base drive to fully turn on both the lateral and vertical inherent bipolar transistors. The lateral four layer structure can be controlled through an insulated gate.
