Breakdown characteristics of a punch-through diode with n+p+p-n+ structure are analyzed with two-dimensional device simulation. Effects of base doping concentration and profile on the breakdown are presented. An analytical expression of a maximum base doping level for the punch-through breakdown is derived. The diode with a linearly graded base doping shows superior leakage current and capacitance is satisfactory for applications for low-voltage circuits.

An IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) device has an excellent current-conducting capability. It has been widely employed as a switching device to use in power supplies, converters, solar inverters, and household appliances or the like, designed to handle high power. The aim with IGBT is to meet the requirements for use in ideal power semiconductor devices with a high breakdown voltage, an on-state voltage drop, a high switching speed, and high reliability for power-device applications. In general, the concentration of the drift region decreases when the breakdown voltage increases, but the on-resistance and other characteristics should be reduced to improve the breakdown voltage and on-state voltage drop characteristics by optimizing the design and structure changes. In this paper, using the T-CAD, we designed the NPT-IGBT (non punch-through IGBT) and FS-IGBT (field stop IGBT) and analyzed the electrical characteristics of those devices. Our analysis of the electrical characteristics showed that the FS-IGBT was superior to the NPT-IGBT in terms of the on-state voltage drop.

Zinc-Borosilicate is used as a side insulator wall to make high breakdown voltage with one Field Limiting Ring in a power p-n junction device in simulation. It is known that surface charge density can be yield at the interface of Zinc-Borosilicate glass / silicon system. When the glass is used as a side insulator wall, surface charge varied potential distribution and breakdown voltage is improved 1090 V under the same structure.The breakdown voltage under varying the surface charge density has a limit value. When the epitaxial thickness is varied, the position of FLR doesn't influence to the breakdown characteristic not only under non punch-through structure but also under punch-through structure.

The existing modeling of avalanche dominated breakdown in double gate MOSFETs (DGMOSFETs) is not relevant for 10 nm gate lengths, because the avalanche mechanism does not occur when the channel length approaches the carrier scattering length. This paper focuses on the punch through mechanism to analyze the breakdown characteristics in 10 nm DGMOSFETs. The analysis is based on an analytical model for the thermionic-emission and tunneling currents, which is based on two-dimensional distributions of the electric potential, obtained from the Poisson equation, and the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation for the tunneling probability. The analysis shows that corresponding flat-band-voltage for fixed threshold voltage has a significant impact on the breakdown voltage. To investigate ambiguousness of number of dopants in channel, we compared breakdown voltages of high doping and undoped DGMOSFET and show undoped DGMOSFET is more realistic due to simple flat-band-voltage shift. Given that the flat-band-voltage is a process dependent parameter, the new model can be used to quantify the impact of process-parameter fluctuations on the breakdown voltage.

Basic design of RC-GCTs (Reserve-Conducting Gate-Commutated Thyristors) by novel punch-through (PT) concept with 5,500v rated voltage is described here. A PT and NPT (non punch-through) concept for the same blocking voltage has been compared in detail. The simulation work indicates that GCT with such PT design exhibits that the forward breakdown voltage is 6,400V which is enough for supporting 5500V blocking. Additionally, the real IGCT turn-off in the mode of PNP transistor has been realized. However, the carrier extraction from N-base to gate terminal will be drastic slowly in terms of NPT structure except for the high on-state voltage drop.

In this paper, we proposed 2500V Non punch-through(NPT) Insulated gate bipolar transistor(IGBT) for high voltage industry application. we carried out optimal simulation for high efficiency of 2500V NPT IGBT according to size of device.

After we simulate with optimal parameter, we obtained 2840V breakdown voltage and 3.4V Vce,sat. These design and process parameter will be used designing of more 2000V NPT IGBT devices.

본 논문은 2500V급 planar type의 NPT(Nun-Punch Through)형 IGBT설계 및 제작에 앞서 IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)소자가 갖는 구조적 변수가 전기적 특성 (Breakdown Voltage, Turnoff Time, Saturation Voltage, 등)결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 IGBT 소자가 갖는 구조적 손실을 최적화 하는데 목표를 두었다. 최적화의 진행은 공정 시뮬레이터인 Tsuprem4와 디바이스 분석 시뮬레이터인 MEDICI를 이용하여 소자가 갖는 각각의 parameter값이 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로 진행 되어졌으며, 향후 고속철 등과 같은 대용량 산업에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we have analyzed the electrical characteristics of 1200V trench gate field stop IGBT and have compared to NPT planar type IGBT and NPT planar field stop IGBT. As a result of analyzing, we obtained superior electrical characteristics of trench gate field stop IGBT than conventional IGBT. To begin with, the breakdown voltage characteristic was showed 1,460 V and on state voltage drop was showed 0.7 V. We obtained 3.5 V threshold voltage, too. To use these results, we have extracted optimal design and process parameter and designed trench gate field stop IGBT. The designed trench gate IGBT will use to inverter of renewable energy and automotive industry.

We calculated the correlation between the doping concentration of the charge layer and the multiplication layer for separate absorption, grading, charge, and multiplication InGaAs/InAlAs avalanche photodiodes (APDs). For this purpose, a predictable program was developed according to the concentration and thickness of the charge layer and the multiplication layer. We also optimized the design, fabrication, and characteristics of an APD for 20 Gbps application. The punch-through voltage and breakdown voltage of the fabricated device were 10 V and 33 V, respectively, and it was confirmed that these almost matched the designed values. The 3-dB bandwidth of the APD was 10.4 GHz, and the bit rate was approximately 20.8 Gbps.
