Collecting electrode IGBT having hole injection structure

Abstract

A collector-short IGBT with a hole injection structure belongs to the technical field of semiconductor power devices. In the invention, the hole injection structure and a collector-short structure are introduced into a conventional planar non-punch through IGBT. The collector-short structure comprises short-circuit N<+> regions (3) and P-type collector regions (2) arranged alternately; and the hole injection structure (14) consists of a third P<+> body region (5), a third P-type base region (6), a third N<+> source region (7) and a floating conductor (11), wherein the floating conductor (11) is used for short-connecting the third P-type base region (6) and the third N<+> source region (7). By adopting the hole injection structure and the collector-short structure in the conventional planar non-punch through IGBT, the collector-short IGBT has lower conduction voltage drop, larger saturation current density and higher turn-off speed. According to the invention, the non-punch through IGBT can have better carrier concentration distribution in the base region, thereby achieving better consistence between the forward conduction voltage drop and turn-off loss.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, while non-punch-through insulated gate bipolar transistors use transparent collector technology to increase switching speed, since there is no N-type buffer layer, the electric field will end at the N-type base region, thus forming a triangular electric field distribution ,like figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure the withstand voltage, a relatively wide N-type base region must be used, resulting in an increase in the on-resistance, which also increases the static loss

Especially when subjected to high voltage, the conductance modulation effect will be significantly weakened, especially in the N near the emitter - Base area and JFET area, conduction loss increase will be more significant
