Insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT)
摘要:
A reverse conductivity insulated gate bipolar transistor (RC-IGBT) structure with no voltage bounce (snapback-free) on the back heterogeneous collector is proposed, an N-type layer is added as a high-resistance layer below the collector side field cut-off layer and the N+ collector region is partially replaced with a P-type thin layer of SiC material, and the collector resistance is increased by adding an N-type high-resistance layer, and a thin layer of P-type SiC material is used to form a heterogeneous collector on the back. It is guaranteed that the holes in the collector region can be injected in the first time during the initial conduction, eliminating the voltage bounce phenomenon, and at the same time, the device can quickly extract the excess carriers in the device when the reverse recovery occurs. The BHC RC-IGBT device has reduced the off-time by 314ns and the peak reverse recovery current by ***-3, reducing the reverse recovery time. Compared to traditional FS RC-IGBT, the shutdown time is shortened, the peak reverse recovery current is reduced by 20%, and the reverse recovery time is reduced by 25.1%. © 2023, The Authors.
