A new trenched Hybrid Schottky INjection Field Effect Transistor (HSINFET) is proposed and verified by 2-D semiconductor device simulation. The feature of the proposed structure is that the hybrid Schottky injector is implemented at the trench sidewall and p-n junction injector at the upper sidewall and bottom of a trench. Two-dimensional simulation has been performed to compare the new HSINFET with the SINFET, conventional HSINFET and lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor(LIGBT). The numerical results shows that the current handling capability of the proposed HSINFET is significantly increased without sacrificing turn-off characteristics. The proposed HSINFET exhibits higher latch-up current density and much faster switching speed than the lateral IGBT. The forward voltage drop of the proposed HSINFET is 0.4 V lower than that of the conventional HSINFET and the turn-off time of the trenched HSINFET is much smaller than that of LIGBT.

The electrothermal characteristics of a high voltage LIGBT(Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) using thin silicon on insulator (SOI) and silicon on sapphire (SOS) such as thermal conductivity and sink is analyzed by MEDICI. The device simulations demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of the buried oxide is an important parameter for modeling of the thermal behavior of SOI devices. In this paper we simulated the thermal conductivity and temperature distribution of a SOI LIGBT with an insulator layer of SiO$_2$ and $Al_2$O$_3$ at before and after latch-up and verified that the SOI LIGBT with the $Al_2$O$_3$ insulator had good thermal conductivity and reliability.

In this paper, we present a novel Lateral Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor(LIGBT) structure. The proposed structure has extra emitter between emitter and collector of the conventional structure. The added emitter can significantly improve latch-up current densities, forward voltage drop (Vce,sat) and turn-off characteristics. From the simulation results, the proposed LIGBT has the lower forward voltage drop(1.05V), the higher latch-up current densities($2.5{\times}10^3\;A/{\mu}m^2$), and the shorter turn-off time(7.4us) than those of the conventional LIGBT.

이중 에피층 구조를 가지는 SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator) LIGBT(Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)의 에피층 두께 변화에 따른 항복전압 특성을 분석하였다. 제안된 소자는 전하보상효과를 얻기 위해 n/p-epi의 이중 에피층 구조를 사용하였으며, 에피층 전체에 걸쳐서 전류가 흐를 수 있도록 하기 위해 trenched anode구조를 채택하였다. 본 논문에서는 n/p-epi층의 농도를 고정시킨 후 각각의 epi층의 두께를 변화시켜가며 simulation을 수행하였을 때 항복전압의 변화 및 표면과 epi층에서의 전계분포변화를 분석하였다.

A new small size Lateral Trench Electrode Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (LTEIGBT) is proposed and fabricated to improve the characteristics of device. The entire electrode of LTEIGBT is placed to trench type electrode. The LTEIGBT is designed so that the width of device is 19w. The latch-up current density of the proposed LTEIGBT is improved by 10 and 2 times with those of the conventional LIGBT and LTIGBT. The forward blocking voltage of the LTEIGBT is 130V. At the same size, those of conventional LIGBT and TIGBT are 60V and 100V, respectively. Because the electrodes of the proposed device is formed of trench type, the electric field in the device are crowded to trench oxide. When the gate voltage is applied 12V, the forward conduction currents of the proposed LTEIGBT and the conventional LIGBT are 80mA and 70mA, respectively, at the same breakdown voltage of 150V.
