AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing emitter switch thyristors have Snapback when they are turned on, resulting in large power consumption on the conduction and latching is prone to occur under large currents, resulting in device failure.

Method used

An emitter switch thyristor structure with a trench-plane trench is adopted. By setting overlapping p-base regions above the n-drift region and setting trenches on the left side of the p-base region on the left, the trench oxide layer and heavily doped polysilicon are filled to form a trench trench and a planar trench to improve the Snapback effect.

Benefits of technology

Significantly reduces conduction loss, improves maximum shutdown current, simplifies manufacturing processes, and improves the application circuit control complexity of the device.
