Abstract
A new power semiconductor device is introduced which facilitates bidirectional operation. Numerical simulations predict excellent stationary characteristics up to high temperatures. Moreover under all operation conditions the device allows one to adjust the distribution of the electron hole plasma. For instance during turn-off it is possible to control the rate of current decay and the corresponding overvoltage peak.
