A Review Paper on Semiconductor Device Silicon Control Rectifier (SCR)
Keywords:
Junction, unidirectional, controlledAbstract
Silicon Control Rectifier (SCR) is a three terminal device anode, cathode,gate. It have three junctions J1, J2, J3 and having4 layers P-N-P-N. SCR is unidirectional device. SCR is charge controlled device. In this paper I am discussing about SCR its introduction, it’s working, advantages, disadvantages, application, references.SCR has wide application. We can on it by applying small positive voltage between gate and cathode.
