Semiconductors have been used widely in signal-level or "brain"
applications. Since their invention in 1948, transistors have
revolutionized the electronics industry in computers, information
processing, and communications. Now, however, semiconductors are
being used more and more where consid erable "brawn" is required.
Devices such as high-power bipolar junction tran sistors and power
field-effect transistors, as well as SCRs, TRlACs, GTOs, and other
semiconductor switching devices that use a p-n-p-n regenerative
effect to achieve bistable action, are expanding the power-handling
horizons of semicon ductors and finding increasing application in a
wide range of products including regulated power supplies, lamp
dimmers, motor drives, pulse modulators, and heat controls. HVDC
and electric-vehicle propulsion are two additional areas of
application which may have a very significant long range impact on
the tech nology. The impact of solid-state devices capable of
handling appreciable power levels has yet to be fully realized.
Since it first became available in late 1957, the SCR or
silicon-controlled rec tifier (also called the reverse blocking
triode thyristor) has become the most popular member of the
thyristor family. At present, SCRs are available from a large
number of manufacturers in this country and abroad. SCR ratings
range from less than one ampere to over three thousand amperes with
voltage ratings in excess of three thousand volts."
