摘要： A process for forming an NPT IGBT in a thin N type silicon wafer in which the bottom surface of a thin silicon wafer (100 microns thick or less) has a shallow reduced lifetime region in its bottom formed by a light species atom implant to a depth of less than about 2.5 microns. A P+ transparent collector region about 0.5 microns deep is formed in the bottom of the damaged region by a boron implant. A collector contact of Al/Ti/NiV and Ag is sputtered onto the collector region and is annealed at 200° C. to 400° C. for 30 to 60 minutes. A pre-anneal step before applying the collector metal can be carried out in vacuum at 300° C. to 400° C. for 30 to 60 seconds.

摘要： The collector or anode of a non-punch through IGBT formed in a float zone silicon wafer is formed by a P doped amorphous silicon layer deposited on the back surface of an ultra thin wafer. A DMOS structure is formed on the top surface of the wafer before the bottom structure is formed. A back contact is formed over the amorphous silicon layer. No alloy step is needed to activate the anode defined by the P type amorphous silicon.

摘要： A soft recovery diode is made by first implanting helium into the die to a location below the P/N junction and the implant annealed. An E-beam radiation process then is applied to the entire wafer and is also annealed. The diode then has very soft recovery characteristics without requiring heavy metal doping.
