  • 본 논문에서는 Gate grounded NMOS(GGNMOS)와 Gate grounded Lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor(GGLIGBT), Silicon Controlled Rectifier(SCR), 그리고 제안된 ESD 보호 소자에 대한 전기적 특성을 비교 및 분석하였다. 우선 각 소자에 대한 I-V 특성 곡선을 시뮬레이션 함으로써 트리거 전압과 홀딩 전압을 확인하였다. 그 후에 각 소자에 대한 HBM 4k 시뮬레이션을 통해서 감내 특성을 확인하였다. HBM 4k 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안된 ESD 보호소자의 최대 온도가 GGNMOS와 GGLIGBT와 SCR에 비해서 낮기 때문에 그만큼 감내 특성이 개선되었다고 할 수 있으며, 이는 신뢰성 측면에서 우수한 ESD 보호소자임을 의미한다.

  • The experimental results of exposing IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) samples to gamma radiation source show shifting of threshold voltages in the MOSFET and degradation of carrier mobility and current gains. At low total dose rate, the shift of threshold voltage is the major contribution of current increases, but for more than some total dose, the current is increased because of the current gain degradation occurred in the vertical PNP at the output of the IGBTs. In the paper, the collector current characteristics as a function of gate emitter voltage (VGE) curves are tested and analyzed with the model considering the radiation damage on the devices for gate bias and different dose. In addition, the model parameters between simulations and experiments are found and studied.

  • IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) 란 MOS(Metal Oxide Silicon) 와 Bipolar 기술의 결정체로 낮은 순방향 손실(Low Saturation)과 빠른 Speed를 특징으로 기존의 Thyristor, BJT, MOSFET 등으로 실현 불가능한 분양의 응용처를 대상으로 적용이 확대 되고 있고, 300V 이상의 High Power Application 영역에서 널리 사용되고 있는 고효율, 고속의 전력 시스템에 있어서 필수적으로 이용되는 Power Device이다. IGBT는 출력 특성 면에서 Bipolar Transistor 이상의 전류 능력을 가지고 있고 입력 특성 면에서 MOSFET과 같이 Gate 구동 특성을 갖기 때문에 High Switching, High Power에 적용이 가능한 소자이다. 반면에, Conventional IGBT는 MOSFET과 달리 IGBT 내부에 Anti-Parallel Diode가 없기 때문에 Inductive Load Application 적용시에는 별도의 Free Wheeling Diode가 필요하다. 그래서, 본 논문에서 별도의 Anti-Parallel Diode의 추가 없이도 Inductive Load Application에 적용 가능한 RC IGBT를 적용하여 600V/15A급 Three Phase Inverter Module을 제안 하고자 한다.

  • Power semiconductor devices have been the major backbone for high-power electronic devices. One of important parameters in view of power semiconductor devices often characterize with a high breakdown voltage. Therefore, many efforts have been made, since the development of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), toward having higher level of breakdown voltage, whereby the typical design thereof is focused on the structure using the field ring. In this study, in an attempt to make up more optimized field-ring structure, the characteristics of the field ring were investigated with the use of theoretical arithmetic model and methodologically the design of experiments (DOE). In addition, the IGBT having the field-ring structure was designed via simulation based on the finding from the above, the result of which was also analyzed. Lastly, the current study described the trench field-ring structure taking advantages of trench-etching process having the improved field-ring structure, not as simple as the conventional one. As a result of the simulation, it was found that the improved trench field-ring structure leads to more desirable voltage divider than relying on the conventional field-ring structure.

  • This paper presents the modeling of insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) in electromagnetic transients program (EMTP) simulation for the reliable calculation of switching and conduction losses. The conventional approach considering the physical property of switching devices requires many attribute parameters and large computation efforts. In contrast, the proposed method uses the curve fitting and interpolation techniques based on typical switching waveforms and a user-defined component with variable resistances to capture the dynamic characteristics of IGBTs. Therefore, the simulation time can be efficiently reduced without losing the accuracy while avoiding the extremely small time step, which is required in simulation by the conventional method. The EMTP based simulation includes turn-on and turn-off transients of IGBT, saturation state, forward voltage of free-wheeling diode, and reverse recovery characteristics, etc. The effectiveness of proposed modeling for the EMTP simulation is verified by the comparison with experimental results obtained from practical implementation in hardware.

  • This study focused on predicting the fatigue life of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module for electric locomotives. The effects of different wiring technologies, including aluminum wires, copper wires, aluminum ribbons, and copper ribbons, on solder fatigue life were investigated to meet the high power requirement of the IGBT module. The module's temperature distribution and solder fatigue behavior were investigated through coupled electro-thermo-mechanical analysis based on the finite element method. The ribbons attained a chip junction temperature that was 30℃ lower than that attained with conventional round wires. The ribbons also exhibited a lower plastic strain in comparison with the wires. However, the difference in plastic strain and junction temperature among the different ribbon materials was relatively small. The ribbons also exhibited different crack propagation behaviors relative to the wires. For the wires, the cracks initiated at the outmost edge of the solder, whereas for the ribbons, the cracks grew in the solder layer beneath the ribbons. Comparison of fatigue failure areas indicated that ribbon bonding technology could substantially enhance the fatigue life of IGBT modules and be a potential candidate for high power modules.

  • We investigate the device characteristics of the separated shorted-anode LIGBT (SSA-LIGBT), which suppresses effectively the negative differential resistance regime, by 2-dimensional numerical simulation. The SSA-LIGBT increases the pinch resistance by employing the highly resistive n-drift region as an electron conduction path instead of the lowly resistive n buffer region of the conventional SA-LIGBT. The negative differential resistance regime of the SSA-LIGBT is significantly suppressed as compared with that of the conventional SA-LIGBT. The SSA-LIGBT shows the lower forward voltage drop than that of the conventional SA-LIGBT.

  • Fast neutron irradiation was used to improve the switching speed of a 600-V nonpunch-through insulated gate bipolar transistor. Fast neutron irradiation was carried out at 30-MeV energy in doses of $1{\times}10^8n/cm^2$, $1{\times}10^9n/cm^2$, $1{\times}10^{10}n/cm^2$, and $1{\times}10^{11}n/cm^2$. Electrical characteristics such as current-voltage, forward on-state voltage drop, and switching speed of the device were analyzed and compared with those prior to irradiation. The on-state voltage drop of the initial devices prior to irradiation was 2.08 V, which increased to 2.10 V, 2.20 V, 2.3 V, and 2.4 V, respectively, depending on the irradiation dose. This effect arises because of the lattice defects generated by the fast neutrons. In particular, the turnoff delay time was reduced to 92 nanoseconds, 45% of that prior to irradiation, which means there is a substantial improvement in the switching speed of the device.
