This paper presents a new Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(IGBT) based on Non Punch Through(NPT) IGBT structure for power switching device. The proposed structure has adding N+ beside the P-base region of the conventional IGBT structure. The added n+ diffusion of the proposed device ensure device has faster turn-off time and lower forward conduction loss than the conventional IGBT structure. But, added n+ region can reduce th breakdown voltage and latching current density of the proposed device due to its high doping concentration. This problems can be overcome by using diverter on the right side of the device. In the simulation results, turn-off time of the proposed device is 0.3us and the on-state voltage drop is 3V. The results show that the proposed device has superior characteristic than conventional structure.
