Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductor, and specifically relates to a thin SOI short circuit anode LIGBT (Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). Compared with a traditional SOI base LIGBT, the thin SOI short circuit anode LIGBT is characterized in that an N+ anode region which is in parallel with a P+ anode region in the vertical direction, and introducing disjunctively distributed N type islands at one side, approaching a cathode structure, in the P+ anode region (9) and the N+ anode region (10); when a new device in the blockout state, the N type islands are not completely depleted, thus effectively preventing further expansion of a depletion region and preventing break-through and breakdown of the N type islands; when the initial stage is started, an electro current flows by the N type islands and the high resistance drift regions among the adjacent N type islands; and compared with traditional continuous N buffer layers, the disjunctively distributed N type islands can increase the distribution resistance at one side of the anode side to enable the device to enter the bipolar mode under a smaller current. Compared with a traditional LIGBT, the thin SOI short circuit anode LIGBT has the advantages of high speed and low on-off loss. Compared with a traditional short circuit anode LIGBT, the thin SOI short circuit anode LIGBT can eliminate the snapback effect even under a small cell size.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductors, and relates to a thin SOI short-circuit anode LIGBT (Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor). Background technique [0002] As a typical representative of power electronic devices, IGBT has the advantages of high input impedance of MOSFET and low conduction voltage drop of BJT. It has unique advantages in many fields such as rail transportation, smart grid, household appliances and base stations. Due to the dielectric isolation of SOI-based LIGBT, the leakage current is reduced, the parasitic capacitance is smaller, and the radiation resistance is stronger. In addition, lateral IGBT (LIGBT) is easy to integrate, making SOI-LIGBT a core component of monolithic power integrated chips. [0003] The low turn-on voltage drop of the IGBT benefits from the conductance modulation effect in the drift region during turn-on, resulting in lower turn...
