Abstract

In this paper, effects of the trench angle($\theta$) on the breakdown voltage according to the process parameters of p-base region and doping concentrations of n-drift region in a Trench Gate IGBT (TIGBT) device were analyzed by computer simulation. Processes parameters used by variables are diffusion temperature, implant dose of p-base region and doping concentration of n-drift region, and aspects of breakdown voltage change with change of each parameter were examined. As diffusion temperature of the p-base region increases, depth of the p-base region increases and effect of the diffusion temperature on the breakdown voltage is very low in the case of small trench angle($45\;^{\circ}$) but that is increases 134.8 % in the case of high trench angle($90\;^{\circ}$). Moreover, as implant dose of the p-base region increases, doping concentration of the p-base region increases and effect of the implant dose on the breakdown voltage is very low in the case of small trench angle($45\;^{\circ}$) but that is increases 232.1 % in the case of high trench angle($90\;^{\circ}$). These phenomenons is why electric field concentrated in the trench is distributed to the p-base region as the diffusion temperature and implant dose of the p-base increase. However, effect of the doping concentration variation in the n-drift region on the breakdown voltage varies just 9.3 % as trench angle increases from $45\;^{\circ}$ to $90\;^{\circ}$. This is why magnitude of electric field concentrated in the trench changes, but direction of that doesn't change. In this paper, respective reasons were analyzed through the electric field concentration analysis by computer simulation.
