Abstract

Disclosed is an insulated gate bipolar transistor comprising at least the following layers: a source layer of a first conductivity type; a base layer of a second conductivity type wherein the source layer and the base layer electrically contact the source electrode; a drift layer of the first conductivity type; and a collector layer of the second conductivity type disposed between the drift layer and the collector electrode and electrically contacting the collector electrode. The insulated gate bipolar transistor further comprises at least two trench gate electrodes and at least one trench Schottky electrode, and a collection region of the second conductivity type is arranged at the bottom of these electrodes. The collection regions are in the drift layer and laterally separated from each other by the drift layer. The Schottky layer forms a Schottky contact to the collection region at the contact region.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of power semiconductor devices. In particular, it relates to an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) according to the preamble of claims 1 and 3 . Background technique [0002] has as figure 1 The prior art IGBT of the trench metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) cell design shown in has, for example, a trench gate electrode 7 with a gate layer 70 which is doped with p-type via a gate insulating layer 72. The base layer 3, the n+ type doped source layer 2 and the n- type doped drift layer 5 are electrically insulated. The trench gate electrode 7 is arranged in the same plane as the base layer 3 and transverse thereto and extends deeper into the drift layer 5 than the base layer 3 . [0003] For such trench gate electrode designs, the on-state losses are lower than those of planar gate designs because the trench design provides a vertical MOS channel that provides enhanced injection of electrons in the vertica...
