IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) have received wide attention because of their high current conduction and good switching characteristics. To reduce the power loss of IGBT, the on state voltage drop should be lowered and the switching time should be shorted. However, there is Trade-off between the breakdown voltage and the on state voltage drop. To achieving good electrical characteristics, field stop IGBT (FS IGBT) is proposed. In this paper, 1,200 V planar gate non punch-through IGBT (planar gate NPT IGBT), planar gate FS IGBT and trench gate FS IGBT is designed and optimized. The simulation results are compared with each three structures. In results, we optain optimal design parameters and confirm excellence of trench gate FS IGBT. Experimental result by using medici, shows 40% improvement of on state voltage drop.

In this paper, we analyzed the structural design and electrical characteristics of a 3.3 kV super junction FS IGBT as a next generation power device. The device parameters were extracted by design and process simulation. To obtain optimal breakdown voltage, we researched the breakdown characteristics. Initially, we confirmed that the breakdown voltage decreased as trench depth increased. We analyzed the breakdown voltage according to p pillar dose. As a result of the experiment, we confirmed that the breakdown voltage increased as p pillar dose increased. To obtain more than 3.3 kV, the p pillar dose was $5{\times}10^{13}cm^{-2}$, and the epi layer resistance was $140{\Omega}$. We extracted design and process parameters considering the on state voltage drop.

An IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) device has an excellent current-conducting capability. It has been widely employed as a switching device to use in power supplies, converters, solar inverters, and household appliances or the like, designed to handle high power. The aim with IGBT is to meet the requirements for use in ideal power semiconductor devices with a high breakdown voltage, an on-state voltage drop, a high switching speed, and high reliability for power-device applications. In general, the concentration of the drift region decreases when the breakdown voltage increases, but the on-resistance and other characteristics should be reduced to improve the breakdown voltage and on-state voltage drop characteristics by optimizing the design and structure changes. In this paper, using the T-CAD, we designed the NPT-IGBT (non punch-through IGBT) and FS-IGBT (field stop IGBT) and analyzed the electrical characteristics of those devices. Our analysis of the electrical characteristics showed that the FS-IGBT was superior to the NPT-IGBT in terms of the on-state voltage drop.

This paper focuses on the 1,200-V level reverse conducting-insulated gate bipolar transistor (RC-IGBT). The structure of the RC-IGBT has an n+ collector at the collector terminal. The breakdown voltage, V_th, V_ce-sat, and turn-off time, and the electrical characteristics of a field-stop IGBT (FS-IGBT) and RC-IGBT are compared and analyzed using simulations. Based on the results, the RC-IGBT obtained a turn-off time of 320.6 ㎲ and a breakdown voltage of 1,720 V, while the FS-IGBT obtained a turn-off time of 742.2 ㎲ and a breakdown voltage of 1,440 V. Therefore, RC-IGBTs have faster on/off transitions and a higher breakdown voltage, which can reduce the size of the element.

Here we present detailed simulation results of trench field stop IGBTs. Besides the reduced on-state voltage drop there is also an Increase of forward blocking voltage. A trench gate IGBT has low on-state voltage drop mainly due to the removal of the JFET region and a field stop IGBT has high forward blocking voltages due to the trapezoidal field distribution under blocking condition. We have simulated the static characteristics of TIGBT with field stop technology by 2D simulator(MEDICI). The simulated result of forward blocking voltage and on-state voltage drop is about 1,408V and 1.3V respectively at $110{\mu}m$ N-drift thickness.
