摘要:
Disclosed is a semiconductor device capable of stabilizing a gate voltage at high voltage and high current, protecting the device from breakdown by preventing current nonuniformity and oscillations and the like, thereby improving reliability, and a method for controlling the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device comprises an n-type base layer, a p-type emitter layer, which is formed on a surface of the n-type base layer, a collector electrode, formed on a surface of the p-type emitter layer, a p-type base layer, formed on a surface on the n-type base layer which is opposite to the p-type emitter layer, an n-type source layer, formed in a surface of the p-type base layer, an emitter electrode, formed on the n-type source layer and the p-type base layer, and a gate electrode, contacting the n-type source layer, the p-type base layer and the n-type base layer, with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween, wherein when a voltage is applied between the collector electrode and the emitter electrode, the capacitance of the gate electrode is always a positive value or zero.

摘要:
Roughly described, a manufacturing process is enhanced by using TCAD and TCAD-derived models. A TCAD simulation model of the process is developed, which predicts, in dependence upon a plurality of process input parameters, a value for a performance parameter of a product to be manufactured using the process. Estimated, predicted or desired values for a calculated subset of the parameters (including either process input parameters or product performance parameters or both), are determined in dependence upon the process model, and further in dependence upon actual, estimated or desired values for a different subset of the parameters (again either process input parameters or product performance parameters or both). The determination is preferably made using a process compact model of the process, itself developed in dependence upon the simulation model.
