Abstract:
A method for fabricating an anode-shorted field stop insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) comprises selectively forming first and second semiconductor implant regions of opposite conductivity types. A field stop layer of a second conductivity type can be grown onto or implanted into the substrate. An epitaxial layer can be grown on the substrate or on the field stop layer. One or more insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) component cells are formed within the epitaxial layer.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises an aluminum alloy lead-frame with a passivation layer covering an exposed portion of the aluminum alloy lead-frame. Since aluminum alloy is a low-cost material, and its hardness and flexibility are suitable for deformation process, such as punching, bending, molding and the like, aluminum alloy lead frame is suitable for mass production; furthermore, since its weight is much lower than copper or iron-nickel material, aluminum alloy lead frame is very convenient for the production of semiconductor devices.
