Abstract

A P-i-N diode with low conduction voltage drop belongs to the technical field of power semiconductors. A carrier injection mode control structure which is composed of a groove-gate structure and a JFET (junction field effect transistor) structure is introduced in the diode. An injection mode of the diode is modulated by applying grid electrode voltage pulse so as to enable the diode to work under a P-i-N mode and a zero mode and lower the conduction voltage drop of the diode. The P-i-N diode with the low conduction voltage drop has the advantages that high blocking voltage and low leakage current of conventional P-i-N diodes are kept, lower conduction voltage drop and faster reverse recovery speed are achieved, and power consumption of the diode in circuit application is lowered greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductor devices and relates to P-i-N diodes. Background technique [0002] Power diodes are an important branch of power semiconductor devices and are widely used in power electronic circuits. As a rectifier application, power diodes need to have the characteristics of low conduction power consumption, high blocking voltage, and fast reverse recovery speed. P-i-N diodes have become mainstream devices in power diodes because of their advantages of low power consumption, high voltage blocking capability, and low leakage current. Through the optimization of the device structure and the control of the carrier lifetime, the performance of P-i-N is also continuously improved. However, due to the existence of the built-in potential of the PN junction, the conduction voltage drop of the P-i-N diode is always above 0.7V. In circuit applications, this will inevitably lead to greater power loss. In a...
