Abstract

The invention relates to an SOI (silicon on insulator) LIGBT (lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor) device unit with a p buried layer and a longitudinal channel. The existing products restrict the improvement of the device structures and the electrical properties. The device unit comprises a p-type semiconductor substrate, a buried oxide layer and a p buried layer region in sequence, whereina metal gate, an n-type heavily doped polysilicon gate, a gate oxide layer and an n-type lightly doped drift region are arranged at the top of the p buried layer region side by side in sequence; a first p-type well region and an n-type buffer region are respectively embedded at the two sides at the top of the n-type lightly doped drift region; an n-type cathode region and a first p well ohmic contact region are embedded at the top of the first p-type well region; a second p-type well region and an anode short-circuit point region are embedded at the top of the n-type buffer region; a second pwell ohmic contact region is embedded at the top of the second p-type well region; and a first field oxide layer, a second field oxide layer, an anode metal electrode and a cathode metal electrode are arranged at the top of the device unit. The device unit has the beneficial effects of reducing the spreading resistance, improving the conductivity modulation effect of the drift region, reducing the on-state power consumption and obviously improving the thermal property of the device.

Problems solved by technology

The vertical withstand voltage of this device structure is not high, and it is easy to give priority to longitudinal breakdown, which seriously limits the improvement of the device's lateral withstand voltage; when a thick buried oxide layer is used to increase the vertical withstand voltage, the self-heating effect will be seriously aggravated, resulting in obvious thermal characteristics of the device. deterioration
