A novel high voltage edge termination utilizing Surface-Charge-Control (SCC) technology has been proposed for a wide range temperature with humidity. Under electrically biased and high-humidity conditions, charges generated by the high electric field and external perturbations accumulate on the silicon surface, which eventually degrades the blocking capability. The proposed edge termination structure...
In this paper, a balanced High Voltage (HV) IGBT is presented. The proposed HV IGBT is composed of three technologies: Wide Cell Pitch CSTBTTM(III) for cell structure, Partial P collector utilizing LPT(II) buffer for vertical structure, and a novel area-efficient edge termination design. We called the above edge termination design “Linearly-narrowed Field Limiting Ring (LNFLR)”. The experiment results...
In the fast recovery operation of Free-wheeling Diode (FWD), to reduce voltage surge “snap-off”, we propose the Relaxed Field of Cathode (RFC)-planar anode diode in the range of 600 V to 1700 V. RFC effect is described by the parallel connection of pin diode and pnp transistor in as a single chip solution. Its structure is realized by our thin wafer process technology utilizing the backside lithography...
We have investigated the destruction mechanism of High Voltage (HV) Free Wheeling Diodes (FWD) during a reverse recovery operation. The most possible mode of the destruction phenomena originate in local heating due to current filament at the edge portion of the active area. To achieve a large reverse recovery Safe Operation Area (SOA), we focus on the boundary region between the active area and the...
