Two dimensional MEDICI simulator is used to study the characteristics of latch-up current of Dual Gate Emitter Switched Thyristor. The simulation is done in terms of the current-voltage characteristics, latch-up current density, ON-voltage drop and electrical property with the variations of p-base impurity concentrations. Compared with the other power devices such as MOS Controlled Cascade Thyristor(MCCT), Conventional Emitter Switched Thyristor(C-EST) and Dual Channel Emitter Switched Thyristor(DC-EST), Dual Gate Emitter Switched Thyristor(DG-EST) shows to have the better electrical characteristics, which is the high latch-up current density and low forward voltage-drop. The proposed DG-EST which has a non-planer p-base structure under the floating $N^+$ emitter indicates to have the better characteristics of latch-up current and breakover voltage.

본 논문에서는 고전압과 고온에서 사용할 수 있는 SiC 기반의 LIGBT 구조를 제시한다. 낮은 전류 특성을 향상시키기 위해 Gate를 중심으로 대칭되는 Dual-Emitter가 삽입된 것이 특징이다. 제안된 소자의 특성 검증을 위하여 Sentaurus TCAD simulation을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 진행하였고 일반적인 LIGBT와 비교 연구를 진행하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 소수캐리어에 의한 전기적 특성을 검증하기 위해 N-drift 영역의 길이에 대하여 변수를 지정하여 Split을 진행하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석 결과, 제안된 Dual-Emitter 구조는 기존의 LIGBT보다 동일한 전압에서 높은 전류가 흐르는 것을 확인하였다.

A dual gate trench emitter IGBT structure is proposed and studied numerically using the device simulator MEDICI. The on-state forward voltage drop latch-up current density turn-off time and breakdown voltage of the proposed structure are compared with those of the conventional DMOS-IGBT and trench gate IGBT structures. The proposed structure forms an additional channel and increases collector current level resulting in reduction of on -state forward voltage drop. In addition the trench emitter increases latch-up current density by 148% in comparison with that for the conventional DMOS-IGBT and by 83% compared with that for the trench gate IGBT without degradation in breakdown voltage when the half trench gate width(Tgw) and trench emitter depth(Ted) are fixed at $1.5\mum\; and\; 2\mum$, respectively

The field emission lamps have the advantages to their cold cathode-characteristic and the eco-friendly, We realized that the dual emitter system showed very simple structure which gate and cathode electrodes are formed on the same glass surface. In this paper, we reported the properties of dual emitters depended on variation of gate width and spacing for optimum panel structure. In combination of dual emitter structure and bi-polar driving, electron beam spreads more than normal gate structure or diode structure, and emission uniformity increased in dual emitter structure at 5"-diagonal.

In this paper, the new dual trench gate Emitter Switched Thyristor (DTG-EST) is proposed for improving snap-back effect which leads to a lot of serious problems of device applications. And the parasitic thyristor that is inherent in the conventional EST is completely eliminated in this structure, allowing higher maximum controllable current densities for ESTs. The conventional EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 2.73V and $35A/cm^2$, respectively. But the proposed DTG-EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 0.96V and $100A/cm^2$, respectively.

본 논문에서는 기존 LIGBT의 컬렉터와 에미터 사이에 추가적으로 에미터를 형성한 이중-에미터 구조의 LIGBT를 제안한다. 이중-에미터 LIGBT 구조는 추가된 에미터에 의해 향상된 래치-업 전류밀도, 순방향 전압강하와 빠른 턴-온 시간을 갖는다. 시뮬레이션 결과 이중-에미터 LIGBT 구조는 기존 LIGBT 구조보다 향상된 순방향 전압강하(1.05V), 높은 래치-업 전류($2.5{\times}10^3\;A/{\mu}m^2$), 빠른 턴-온 시간(7.4us)을 가짐을 확인 한다.

Dual-channel nano-electrospray has recently become an ionization technique of great promise especially in biological mass spectrometry. This unique approach takes advantage of the mixing processes that occurs during electrospray. Understanding in more detail the fundamental principles influencing spray formation further study of the origins of the mixing processes: (1) in a Taylor cone region, (2) in charged droplets or (3) in both environments. The dual-channel emitters were made from borosilicate theta-shape glass tubes (O.D. 1.2 mm) and had a tip diameters of less than 4 μm. Electrical contact was achived by deposition of a thin film of an appropriate metal onto the surface of the emitter. The experimental investigation of the Taylor cone formation in a dual-channel electrospray emitter has been carried out by injection of polystyrene beads (diameter 3 μm) at very low concentrations into one of the channels of the non-tapered theta-glass tubes. High-speed camera experiments were set up to visualize the mixing processes in Taylor cone regions for dual-channel emitters. Mass spectra from dual nano-electrospray are presented.

In this paper. a new two types of EST(Emitter Switched Thyristor) structures are proposed to improve the electrical characteristics including the current saturation capability. Besides, the two dimensional numerical simulations were carried out using MEDICI to verify the validity of the device and examine the electrical characteristics. First, a vortical trench electrode EST device is proposed to improve snap-back effect and its blocking voltage. Second, a dual trench gate EST device is proposed to obtain high voltage current saturation characteristics and high blocking voltage and to eliminate snap-back effect. The two proposed devices have superior electrical characteristics when compared to conventional devices. In the vertical trench electrode EST, the snap-back effect is considerably improved by using the vertical trench gate and cathode electrode and the blocking voltage is one times better than that of the conventional EST. And in the dual trench gate EST, the snap-back effect is completely removed by using the series turn-on and turn-off MOSFET and the blocking voltage is one times better than that of the conventional EST. Especially current saturation capability is three times better than that of the other EST.

For the first time, the new dual trench gate Emitter Switched Thyristor is proposed for eliminating snap-back effect which leads to a lot of serious problems of device applications. Also, the parasitic thyristor that is inherent in the conventional EST is completely eliminated in the proposed EST structure, allowing higher maximum controllable current densities for ESTs. Moreover, the new dual trench gate allows homogenous current distribution throughout device and preserves the unique feature of the gate controlled current saturation of the thyristor current. The conventional EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 2.73V and $354/{\S}^2$, respectively. But the proposed EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 0.93V and $58A/{\S}^2$, respectively. Saturation current density of the proposed EST at anode voltage 6.11V is $3797A/{\S}^2$. The characteristics of 700V forward blocking of the proposed EST obtained from two dimensional numerical simulations (MEDICI) is described and compared with that of the conventional EST.
