摘要:
A power semiconductor device having high avalanche capability comprises an N+ doped substrate and, in sequence, N− doped, P− doped, and P+ doped semiconductor layers, the P− and P+ doped layers having a combined thickness of about 5 μm to about 12 μm. Recombination centers comprising noble metal impurities are disposed substantially in the N− and P− doped layers. A process for forming a power semiconductor device with high avalanche capability comprises: forming an N− doped epitaxial layer on an N+ doped substrate, forming a P− doped layer in the N− doped epitaxial layer, forming a P+ doped layer in the P− doped layer, and forming in the P− and N− doped layers recombination centers comprising noble metal impurities. The P+ and P−doped layers have a combined thickness of about 5 μm to about 12 μm.

摘要:
In an improved process for controlling and improving minority carrier lifetime in a P-i-N diode, platinum is deposited on a surface of a silicon semiconductor substrate containing at least one PN junction. The substrate is heated to a temperature of about 800° C., and the platinum is diffused into the substrate as its temperature is increased at a rate of about 5° C./minute to a first selected temperature of about 850-950° C. Platinum diffusion is continued while the substrate is maintained at the first selected temperature for about 30-60 minutes. The substrate temperature is then increased at a rate of about 5° C./minute to a second selected temperature above 950° C. to about 1000° C., and the substrate is maintained at the second selected temperature for about 5-30 minutes before cooling.
