Flat-grid electric charge storage type IGBT (insulated gate bipolar translator)

Abstract

The invention provides a flat-grid electric charge storage type IGBT (insulated gate bipolar translator), belonging to the technical field of a power semiconductor device. On the basis of the conventional flat-grid electric charge storage type IGBT, a layer of P type buried layer is induced between an N type drift region and an N type electric charge storage layer; due to the electric field modulating action of an additive PN (positive / negative) junction and the electric charge induced into the P type buried layer, the adverse impact of a highly-doped N type electric charge storage layer to the device is screened, so that the device can obtain high puncture voltage; and due to the electric field screening action of the P type buried layer to the N type electric charge storage layer, the IGBT can adopt higher N type electric charge storage layer doping concentration, so that the conductivity modulation of the N type drift region of the device can be enhanced, and the carrier distribution in the N type drift region can be optimized, and therefore, the device is lower in forward conductivity voltage drop and relatively good in compromises between the forward conductivity voltage drop and the turn-off loss. The IGBT is applicable to the filed of the semiconductor device and a power integrated circuit from small power to high power.
