摘要:
In a general aspect, a power device can include at least one N-type epitaxial layer disposed on a substrate and a plurality of N-pillars and P-pillars that define alternating P-N-pillars in the at least one N-type epitaxial layer. The power device can also include an active region and a termination region, where the termination region surrounds the active region. The alternating P-N-pillars can be disposed in both the active region and the termination region, where the termination region can include a predetermined number of floating P-pillars.

In one general aspect, a power device includes an active region having a plurality of pillars of a first conductivity type alternately arranged with a plurality of pillars of a second conductivity type where the plurality of pillars of the second conductivity type in the active region each have substantially the same width. The power device includes a termination region surrounding at least a portion of the active region and having a plurality of pillars of the first conductivity type alternately arranged with a plurality of pillars of the second conductivity type where the plurality of pillars of the second conductivity type in the active region each have substantially the same width and are smaller than each width of the pillars of the second conductivity type in the termination region. The power device includes a transition region disposed between the active region and the termination region.

At least one of the plurality of pillars of second conductivity type includes a first trench epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type disposed on a trench sidewall of the second trench and a trench bottom surface of the second trench, a second trench epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type disposed on the first trench epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type, and an insulating material layer disposed on the second trench epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type.
摘要:
A quick punch-through integrated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) includes a drift region and a gate. The drift region has a drift region dopant concentration and a drift region thickness. The gate has a gate capacitance. The drift region dopant concentration, drift region thickness and gate capacitance are adjusted dependent at least in part upon the PNP gain of the IGBT to maintain the potential difference between the gate and emitter at a level greater than the IGBT threshold voltage when the collector voltage reaches the bus voltage. This insures that the hole carrier concentration remains approximately equal to or greater than the drift region dopant concentration when the depletion layer punches through to the buffer region during the turn-off delay. Thus, the collector voltage overshoot and the rate of change of voltage and current are controlled, and electromagnetic interference is reduced, during turn off.
