본 논문에서는 전력용 스위칭 소자로 널리 활용되고 있는 IGBT 소자 중 수평 게이트 구조보다 우수한 특성을 지닌 트렌치 게이트 IGBT(TIGBT) 구조를 채택하여, 기존의 TIGBT가 갖는 구조적 한계를 극복하고 좀 더 우수한 전기적 특성을 갖는 새로운 구조의 수직형 TIGBT를 제안하였다. 첫 번째로 제안한 IGBT 소자는 P+컬렉터를 산화막으로 고립시킴으로서 N-드리프트 층으로의 정공 주입효율을 극대화하여 기존 구조보다 더 낮은 순방향 전압강하를 얻도록 설계된 구조이다. 두 번째 제안한 구조는 양 게이트 사이의 P-베이스 구조를 볼록하게 형성함으로서 게이트 쪽으로 집중되는 전계의 일부를 접합부 쪽으로 유도하여 기존 구조보다 더 높은 항복전압을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 P-베이스의 볼록한 구조가 턴-오프 시 정공의 흐름을 개선시켜 기존 구조보다 더 빠른 턴-오프 시간을 갖게 된다. 시뮬레이션 결과 첫 번째 구조의 특징은 2.4V의 순방향 전압강하 특성을 갖는 기존의 IGBT 구조보다 상당히 낮은 2.1V의 순방향 전압강하 특성을 나타냈으며, 두 번째 구조는 기존의 IGBT 보다 10V정도 높아진 항복전압 특성을 보였다. 또한 두 번째 구조에서 기존 구조와 비교해볼 때 9ns 정도 빠른 턴-오프 시간을 보였다. 최종적으로 제안된 새로운 구조의 TIGBT는 위 두 구조가 갖는 우수한 전기적 특성을 모두 갖도록 결합한 것이며, 시뮬레이션 결과 기본의 TIGBT 소자보다 순방향 전압강하, 항복특성, 그리고 턴 오프 특성이 모두 우수한 결과를 나타냈다.

The gradual hole injection LIGBT (GI-LIGBT) which employs the dual gate and the p+ injector, was fabricated for eliminating a negative resistance regime and reducing a forward voltage drop in SA-LIGBT. The elimination of the negative resistance regime is successfully achieved by initiating the hole injection gradually. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the forward voltage drop of GI-LIGBT decreases by lV at the current density of 200 $A/cm^2$, when compared with that of the conventional SA-LIGBT. It is also found that the improvement in the on-state characteristics can be obtained without sacrificing the inherent fast switching characteristics of SA-LIGBT.

In this work, transient characteristics of NPT(Non Punch Through)-IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) have been studied with different temperatures analytically. Power losses are caused by heat generated in MIT-IGBT for steady state and transient state conditions. We therefore have focused on the analysis of excess carrier concentration and excess charge injected into N-drift layer with different temperatures and have obtained anode voltage drop during turn-off with lifetime of 2.4[${\mu}$s].

This study proposes an indirect constant voltage control algorithm for hybrid solid-state transformers (HSSTs) by using primary side information. Considering the structure of HSSTs, measuring voltage and current information on the primary side of a transformer is necessary to control the converter and inverter of the power converter. The secondary side output voltage is measured to apply the conventional secondary side constant voltage control algorithm, and thus, the digital control board requires the same rated insulation voltage as that of the transformer. To solve this problem, the secondary voltage of the transformer obtained from the tap voltage is used. Moreover, output voltage decreases as load increases because the proposed indirect constant voltage control scheme does not consider the cable impedance between the secondary output terminal and the load. This study also proposes a technique for compensating the secondary output voltage by using the primary current of the transformer and the resistance value of the cable. An experiment is conducted using a scale-down HSST prototype consisting of a 660 V/220 V tap transformer. The problem of the proposed indirect constant voltage control strategy and the improvement effect due to the application of the compensation method are compared using the derived experimental results.

Most of the applications for distribution system operation highly rely on the voltage and current managements from the field devices. Voltage from the remote controlled switch contains unacceptably large measurement error due to the nonlinear characteristics of the bushing potential transformer. This paper proposes a new voltage magnitude estimation method by calculating voltage drop using current measurement, line impedance and loads deployment data. Contract demand power and pole transformer capacity managed by NDIS are used as a key element to improve accuracy of the proposed method. Various case studies using Matlab simulation have been performed to verify feasibility of the propose voltage estimation method.

This paper was proposed the theoretical research and optimal design 3,000 V IGBT for using electrical automotive, high speed train and first power conversion. To obtaining 3,000 V breakdown voltage, the design parameters was showed $160{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ resistivity and $430{\mu}m$ drift length. And to maintain 5 V threshold voltage, we obtained $6.5{\times}10^{13}cm^{-2}$ p-base dose. We confirmed $24{\mu}m$ cell pitch for maintain optimal on state voltage drop and thermal characteristics. This 3,000 V IGBT was replaced to thyristor devices using first power conversion and high speed train, presently.

Super Junction구조는 항복전압과 온-상태 전압강하의 트레이드-오프 특성을 개선하고자 제안된 구조이다. 본 논문은 Super Junction IGBT P-Pillar 내부 영역에 Trench SiO₂를 성장시킨 구조를 제안한다. Super Junction구조에 인가되는 전계를 3D로 관찰 시 P-Pillar 내부에 전계가 인가되지 않는 영역을 확인하였다. Pillar영역의 부분저항은 각 Pillar의 크기와 항복전압에 의해 변동되는데 전계가 인가되지 않는 P-Pillar 내부 영역을 Trench 한 후 SiO₂를 성장시켜 P-Pillar의 크기를 감소시킨다. 4.5kV의 동일한 항복전압을 가질 때 온-상태 전압강하 특성이 Field Stop IGBT 대비 약 58%, 기존의 Super Junction IGBT 대비 19% 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

Two dimensional MEDICI simulator is used to study the electrical characteristics of Dual Gate Emitter Switched Thyristor. The simulation is done in terms of the current-voltage characteristics with the variations of p-base impurity concentrations and current flow. 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 tile 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 u-base structure under the floating N+ emitter indicates to have the better characteristics of latch-up current and breakover voltage in spite of the same turn-off characteristics.

Although there is no strict definition of a power semiconductor device, a general description is a semiconductor that has capability to control more than 1 W of electricity. Integrated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), which are power semiconductors, are widely used in voltage ranges above 300 V and are especially popular in high-efficiency, high-speed power systems. In this paper, the size of the gate was adjusted to test the variation in the yield voltage characteristics by measuring the electric field concentration under the trench gate. After the experiment Synopsys' TCAD was used to analyze the efficiency of threshold voltage, on-state voltage drop, and breakdown voltage by measuring the P- region and its size under the gate.
