摘要:
A double-side IGBT (DIGBT) phase leg architecture that uses the DIGBT as a substitute for a free wheeling diode to achieve reduced turn-on loss and reduced reverse recovery peak current during turn-on is described and characterized. Approximately a 50% reduction in reverse recovery peak current and an 80% reduction in recovery charge are achieved. In addition, low power dissipation (≈1 A current level) protection circuitry is described that can be incorporated into the DIGBT phase leg architecture to allow the flow of reverse current even if the gate driver circuit is disabled so that conventional high current free wheeling diodes are not required to provide protection.

A method for making a thin film device or pyroelectric sensor is provided. A film layer of thin film functional material is grown on a large diameter growth substrate. One or more protective layers may be deposited on the surface of the growth substrate before the thin film functional material is deposited. Hydrogen is implanted to a selected depth within the growth substrate or within a protective layer to form a hydrogen ion layer. The growth substrate and associated layers are bonded to a second substrate. The layers are split along the hydrogen ion implant and the portion of the growth substrate and associated layers that are on the side of the ion layer away from the second substrate are removed.

摘要:
Semiconductor substrates suitable for making thin vertical current conducting devices are made by providing a relatively thick semiconducting substrate with at least one conductivity type having a thickness of from about 100 μm to 700 μm. At least one active device region is optionally first formed on a first side. Then the semiconducting substrate is thinned in at least one selected region on the other side below at least partially where the active device will be on the first side so as to have the selected region thinned to a thickness ranging from about 10 μm to 400 μm to form at least one deep trench. The depth of the thinning of the semiconducting substrate is controlled when the substrate has more than one conductivity type layers or more than one conductivity type layer concentrations so that either (a) some of the first thinned conductivity type layer or some of the first thinned conductivity type layer concentration remains or (b) the thinning proceeds all the way through the first conductivity type layer or all the way through the first conductivity type layer concentration. A conductivity type dopant can be optionally formed in the semiconductor substrate in the thinned selected region on the second side. Finally, a current electrode is formed on the second side in contact with said thinned selected region or said conductivity type dopant in said thinned selected region. In the event the at least one active device region was not initially formed in the first step, then it can be formed at the end.
摘要:
A method is provided for transferring an electro-optical layer grown on a growth substrate to a handle substrate. The method includes implanting hydrogen ions in the transfer substrate to form an intermediate hydrogen ion implant layer and bonding the transfer substrate to the handle substrate to form a joined structure. The joined structure is heated to a temperature sufficient to split the joined structure to thereby transfer a portion of the electro-optical layer to the handle substrate.
