   • 1963 November, “A "Second Generation" in traction”, in Modern Railways, page 290:

     In calling it a "Thyristor", Mr. Warder was following a growing practice which takes account of the fact that in years to come the controlled rectifier may be made of other materials than silicon.

   • 1998, J. Arrillaga, High Voltage Direct Current Transmission, page 6:

     Figure 1.4 shows a modern thyristor encapsulated in a presspack housing and Figure 1.5 illustrates a typical interdigitated gate geometry in a high-power thyristor; the black areas indicate silicon ( Si0₂ ) and the white areas the Al metallisation.
