IGBT는 MOSFET과 BJT의 구조를 동시에 포함하고 있는 전력반도체 소자이며, MOSFET의 빠른 스위칭 속도와 BJT의 고 내압, 높은 전류내량 특성을 갖고 있다. GBT는 높은 항복전압, 낮은 V_CE-SAT, 빠른 스위칭 속도, 고 신뢰성의 이상적인 파워 반도체 소자의 요구사항을 목표로 하는 소자이다. 본 논문에서는 1,200V 급 Trench Gate Field Stop IGBT의 상단 공정 파라미터인 Gate oxide thickness, Trench Gate Width, P+ Emitter width를 변화시키면서 변화하는 Eoff, V_CE-SAT을 분석하였고, 이에 따른 최적의 상단 공정 파라미터를 제시하였다. Synopsys T-CAD Simulator를 통해 항복전압 1,470V와 V_CE-SAT 2.17V, Eon 0.361mJ, Eoff 1.152mJ의 전기적 특성을 갖는 IGBT 소자를 구현하였다.

In this study, experiments and simulations were conducted for a 1,200-V-class trench Si insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with a small cell pitch below 2.5 ㎛. Presently, as a power device, the 1,200-V-class trench Si IGBT is used for automotives including electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and industrial motors. We obtained a breakdown voltage of 1,440 V, threshold of 6 V, and state voltage drop of 1.75 V. This device is superior to conventional IGBTs featuring a planar gate. To derive its electrical characteristics, we extracted design and process parameters. The cell pitch was 0.95 ㎛ and total wafer thickness was 140 ㎛ with a resistivity of 60 Ω·cm. We will apply these results to achieve fine-pitch gate power devices suitable for electrical automotive industries.

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.

The effects of the local lifetime control on the characteristics of IGBT are investigated using the 2-dimensional device simulator, MEDICI. Many lumped resistive turn-off simulations are carried out to analyze the effects of the minority carrier lifetime, the width, and the position of the region with a reduced local minority carrier lifetime. As a result of these simulations, it is concluded that the on state voltage drop$(V_{CE,SAT})$ is only slightly increased while the switching behavior is greatly improved if the low lifetime region is properly set. And these results are compared with IGBTs having uniform lifetime.
