57 Abstract AB [EN] A semiconductor device suitable for power applications includes a thyristor epitaxial layer structure defining an anode region offset vertically from a cathode region with a plurality of intermediate regions therebetween. An anode electrode is electrically coupled to the anode region. A cathode electrode is electrically coupled to the cathode region. A switchable current path that extends vertically between the anode region and the cathode region has a conducting state and a non-conducting state. An epitaxial resistive region is electrically coupled to and extends laterally from one of the plurality of intermediate regions. An FET is provided having a channel that is electrically coupled to the epitaxial resistive region. The FET can be configured to inject (or remove) electrical carriers into (or from) the one intermediate region via the epitaxial resistive region in order to switch the switchable current path between its non-conducting state and its conducting state.
