Abstract

We disclose a bi-directional bipolar junction transistor (BJT) structure, comprising: a base region of a first conductivity type, wherein said base region constitutes a drift region of said structure; first and second collector/emitter (CE) regions, each of a second conductivity type adjacent opposite ends of said base region; wherein said base region is lightly doped relative to said collector/emitter regions; the structure further comprising: a base connection to said base region, wherein said base connection is within or adjacent to said first collector/emitter region.
