MOS composite static induction thyristor (CSMT or MCS) is a combination of a MOS transistor connected in cascode relation to the SI-thyristor. The SI thyristor (SITh) unit has a gate to which a source of MOS transistor is connected through a voltage regulation element. The low conduction loss and rugged structure MCS make it more favorable than conversional IGBT transistors. ...more on Wikipedia about "MOS composite static induction thyristor/CSMT"
Power semiconductor devices are semiconductor devices used as switches or rectifiers in high-power electronic circuits ( switch mode power supplies for example). They are also called power devices or when used in integrated circuits, called power ICs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Power semiconductor device"
Semiconductor devices are electronic components that exploit the electronic properties of semiconductor materials, principally silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide. Semiconductor devices have replaced thermionic devices (vacuum tubes) in most applications. They use electronic conduction in the solid state as opposed to the gaseous state or thermionic emission in a high vacuum. ...more on Wikipedia about "Semiconductor device"
The static induction thyristor (SI-thyristor, SITh) is a thyristor with a buried gate structure in which the gate electrodes are placed in n-base region. Since they are normally on-state, gate electrodes must be negatively biased to hold off-state. ...more on Wikipedia about "SIT/SITh (Static Induction Transistor/Thyristor)"
A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is a semiconductor device consisting of a large-area p-n junction diode, which in the presence of sunlight is capable of generating usable electrical energy. This conversion is called the photovoltaic effect. The photovoltaic effect was discovered in 1839 by French experimental physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel, who observed that certain materials would produce a small current when exposed to light. The field of research related to solar cells is known as photovoltaics. ...more on Wikipedia about "Solar cell"
Solid State Lighting (SSL) refers to a type of lighting that utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), or polymer light-emitting diodes as sources of illumination rather than electrical filaments or gas. The term " solid state" refers to the fact that light in an LED is emitted from a solid object—a block of semiconductor—rather than from a vacuum or gas tube, as is the case in traditional incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent lamps. Unlike traditional lighting, however, SSL creates visible light with virtually no heat or parasitic energy dissipation. In addition, its solid-state nature provides for greater resistance to shock, vibration, and wear, thereby increasing its lifespan significantly. ...more on Wikipedia about "Solid State Lighting"
