Abstract:
In a process for adjusting the carrier lifetime in a semiconductor component (1) by means of particle irradiation (P), at least two defect regions (10, 11, 12, 13) are produced in the semiconductor component (1). In this process, a particle beam (P), consisting of particles (a, b, c, d) with at least approximately the same initial energy, is acted on by at least one means (2), before reaching the semiconductor component (1), in such a way that the particles (a, b, c, d) subsequently have different energy values, at least two energy value groups being distinguishable. It is thereby possible, with a single particle irradiation operation, to produce an arbitrary number of defect regions whose arrangement and weighting is arbitrarily selectable.

Abstract:
A controlled-punch-through semiconductor device with a four-layer structure is disclosed which includes layers of different conductivity types, a collector on a collector side, and an emitter on an emitter side which lies opposite the collector side. The semiconductor device can be produced by a method performed in the following order: producing layers on the emitter side of wafer of a first conductivity type; thinning the wafer on a second side; applying particles of the first conductivity type to the wafer on the collector side for forming a first buffer layer having a first peak doping concentration in a first depth, which is higher than doping of the wafer; applying particles of a second conductivity type to the wafer on the second side for forming a collector layer on the collector side; and forming a collector metallization on the second side. At any stage particles of the first conductivity type can be applied to the wafer on the second side for forming a second buffer layer with a second peak doping concentration lower than the first peak doping concentration of the first buffer layer, but higher than the doping of the wafer. A third buffer layer can be arranged between the first depth and the second depth with a doping concentration which is lower than the second peak doping concentration of the second buffer layer. Thermal treatment can be used for forming the first buffer layer, the second buffer layer and/or the collector layer.
Abstract:
A fast recovery diode includes an n-doped base layer having a cathode side and an anode side opposite the cathode side. A p-doped anode layer is arranged on the anode side. The anode layer has a doping profile and includes at least two sublayers. A first one of the sublayers has a first maximum doping concentration, which is between 2*1016 cm−3 and 2*1017 cm−3 and which is higher than the maximum doping concentration of any other sublayer. A last one of the sublayers has a last sublayer depth, which is larger than any other sublayer depth. The last sublayer depth is between 90 to 120 μm. The doping profile of the anode layer declines such that a doping concentration in a range of 5*1014 cm−3 and 1*1015 cm−3 is reached between a first depth, which is at least 20 μm, and a second depth, which is at maximum 50 μm. Such a profile of the doping concentration is achieved by using aluminium diffused layers as the at least two sublayers.
