    Abstract: A reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor, particularly a bi-mode insulated gate transistor, is controlled by responding to an ON command by applying high-level gate voltage for a first period, during which a current is fed into a connection point, from which it flows either through the RC-IGBT or along a different path. Based hereon, it is determined whether the RC-IGBT conducts in its forward/IGBT or reverse/diode mode, and the RC-IGBT is either driven at high or low gate voltage. Subsequent conduction mode changes may be monitored in the same way, and the gate voltage may be adjusted accordingly. A special turn-off procedure may be applied in response to an OFF command in cases where the RC-IGBT conducts in the reverse mode, wherein a high-level pulse is applied for a second period before the gate voltage goes down to turn-off level.

    Abstract: A method for producing a semiconductor device such as a RC-IGBT or a BIGT having a patterned surface wherein partial regions doped with dopants of a first conductivity type and regions doped with dopants of a second conductivity type are on a same side of a semiconductor substrate is proposed. An exemplary method includes: (a) implanting dopants of the first conductivity type and implanting dopants of the second conductivity type into the surface to be patterned; (b) locally activating dopants of the first conductivity type by locally heating the partial region of the surface to be patterned to a first temperature (e.g., between 900 and 1000° C.) using a laser beam similar to those used in laser annealing; and (c) activating the dopants of the second conductivity type by heating the substrate to a second temperature lower than the first temperature (e.g., to a temperature below 600° C.). Boron is an exemplary dopant of the first conductivity type, and phosphorous is an exemplary dopant of the second conductivity type. Boron can be activated in the regions irradiated only with the laser beam, whereas phosphorus may be activated in a low temperature sintering step on the entire surface.

    Abstract: A fast recovery diode includes an n-doped base layer having a cathode side and an anode side opposite the cathode side. A p-doped anode layer is arranged on the anode side. The anode layer has a doping profile and includes at least two sublayers. A first one of the sublayers has a first maximum doping concentration, which is between 2*1016 cm−3 and 2*1017 cm−3 and which is higher than the maximum doping concentration of any other sublayer. A last one of the sublayers has a last sublayer depth, which is larger than any other sublayer depth. The last sublayer depth is between 90 to 120 μm. The doping profile of the anode layer declines such that a doping concentration in a range of 5*1014 cm−3 and 1*1015 cm−3 is reached between a first depth, which is at least 20 μm, and a second depth, which is at maximum 50 μm. Such a profile of the doping concentration is achieved by using aluminum diffused layers as the at least two sublayers.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a power semiconductor device is provided. A first oxide layer is produced on a first main side of a substrate of a first conductivity type. A structured gate electrode layer with at least one opening is then formed on the first main side on top of the first oxide layer. A first dopant of the first conductivity type is implanted into the substrate on the first main side using the structured gate electrode layer as a mask, and the first dopant is diffused into the substrate. A second dopant of a second conductivity type is then implanted into the substrate on the first main side, and the second dopant is diffused into the substrate. After diffusing the first dopant into the substrate and before implanting the second dopant into the substrate, the first oxide layer is partially removed. The structured gate electrode layer can be used as a mask for implanting the second dopant.
