In this paper, a new small size Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOSFET with local doping is proposed. This new structure is based on the conventional lateral power MOSFET. The entire electrodes of proposed device are placed in trench oxide. The forward blocking voltage of the proposed device is improved by 3.3 times with that of the conventional lateral power MOSFET. The forward blocking voltage of proposed device is about 500V. At the same size, a increase of the forward blocking voltage of about 3.3 times relative to the conventional lateral power MOSFET is observed by using TMA-MEDICI which is used for analyzing device characteristics. Because the electrodes of the proposed device are formed in trench oxide respectively, the electric field in the device are crowded to trench oxide. And because of the structure which has a narrow drain doping width, the punch through breakdown can be occurred in higher voltage than that of conventional lateral power MOSFET. We observed that the characteristics of the proposed device was improved by using TMA-MEDICI and that the fabrication of the proposed device is possible by using TMA-TSUPREM4.

In this paper, a new small sized Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOS was proposed. This new structure, called LTEMOS(Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOS), was based on the conventional lateral power MOS. But the entire electrodes of LTEMOS were placed in trench oxide. The forward blocking voltage of the proposed LTEMOS was improved by 1.5 times with that of the conventional lateral power MOS. The forward blocking voltage of LTEMOS was about 240 V. At the same size, an improvement of the forward blocking voltage of about 1.5 times relative to the conventional MOS was observed by using ISE-TCAD which was used for analyzing device's electrical characteristics. Because all of the electrodes of the proposed device were formed in each trench oxide, the electric field was crowded to trench oxide and punch-through breakdown was occurred, lately.

A new Lateral Trench Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(LTIGBT) with p$^{+}$ diverter was proposed to improve the characteristics of the conventional LTIGBT. The forward blocking voltage of the proposed LTIGBT with p$^{+}$ diverter was about 140V. That of the conventional LTIGBT of the same size was 105V. Because the p$^{+}$ diverter region of the proposed device was enclosed trench oxide layer, he electric field moved toward trench-oxide layer, and punch through breakdown of LTIGBT with p$^{+}$ diverter was occurred, lately. Therefore, the p$^{+}$ diverter of the proposed LTIGBT didn't relate to breakdown voltage in a different way the conventional LTIGBT. The Latch-up current densities of the conventional LTIGBT and proposed LTIGBT were 540A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and 1453A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The enhanced latch-up capability of the proposed LTIGBT was obtained through holes in the current directly reaching the cathode via the p$^{+}$ divert region and p$^{+}$ cathode layer beneath n$^{+}$ cathode layer./ cathode layer.

This paper discribes the design concept, fabrication process and measuring result of 2.5kV Gate Commutated Thyristor devices. Integrated gate commutated thyristors(IGCTs) is the new power semiconductor device used for high power inverter, converter, static var compensator(SVC) etc. Most of the ordinary GTOs(gate turn-off thyristors) are designed as non-punch-through(NPT) concept; i.e. the electric field is reduced to zero within the N-base region. In this paper, we propose transparent anode structure for fast turn-off characteristics. And also, to reach high breakdown voltage, we used 2-stage bevel structure. Bevel angle is very important for high power devices, such as thyristor structure devices. For cathode topology, we designed 430 cathode fingers. Each finger has designed $200{\mu}m$ width and $2600{\mu}m$ length. The breakdown voltage between cathode and anode contact of this fabricated GCT device is 2,715V.

A vertical trench electrode type EST has been proposed in this paper. The proposed device considerably improve the snap-back effect which leads to a lot of problem of device applications. In this paper, the vertical dual gate Emitter Switched Thyristor(EST) with trench electrode has been proposed for improving snap-back effect. It is observed that the forward blocking voltage of the proposed device is 800V. The conventional EST of the same size were no more than 633V. Because the proposed device was constructed of trench-type electrode, the electric field moved toward trench-oxide layer, and the punch through breakdown of the proposed EST is occurred at latest.

본 연구는 전력용 스위칭 소자로 널리 활용되고 있는 IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)소자로서 NPT(Non Punch Through) IGBT 구조에 기반 한 새로운 구조의 IGBT를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조는 기존 IGBT 구조의 P-베이스 영역 우측 부분에 N+를 도입함으로 N-드리프트 영역의 정공분포를 N+영역으로 밀집시켜 턴-오프 시 정공의 흐름을 개선, 기존 구조보다 더 빠른 턴-오프 시간과 더 낮은 순방향 전압강하를 갖는 구조이다. 또한 P+를 게이트 우측 하단에 형성함으로써 순방향 전압 강하 특성을 개선시키기 위해 도입한 캐리어 축적 층인 N+에 의해 발생하는 낮은 래치-업 특성과 낮은 항복 전압 특성을 개선시킨 구조이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제한된 구조의 턴-오프와 순방향 전압강하는 기존 구조대비 각각 0.3us, 0.5V 향상된 특성을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a super-junction MOSFET (SJ MOSFET) fabricated through a simple pillar forming process by varying the Si epilayer thickness and doping concentration of pillars using SILVACO TCAD simulation. The design of the SJ MOSFET structure is presented, and the doping concentration of pillar, breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$) and drain current are analyzed. The device performance of conventional Si planar metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET), Si SJ MOSFET, and SiGe SJ MOSFET was investigated. The p- and n-pillars in Si SJ MOSFET suppressed the punch-through effect caused by drain bias. This lead to the higher $V_{BR}$ and reduced on resistance of Si SJ MOSFET. An increase in the thickness of Si epilayer and decrease in the former is most effective than the latter. The implementation of SiGe epilayer to SJ MOSFET resulted in the improvement of $V_{BR}$ as well as drain current in saturation region, when compared to Si SJ MOSFET. Such a superior device performance of SiGe SJ MOSFET could be associated with smaller bandgap of SiGe which facilitated the drift of carriers through lower built-in potential barrier.

A new small sized Lateral Trench electrode Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(LTEIGBT) was proposed to improve the characteristics of conventional Lateral IGBT (LIGBT) and Lateral Trench gate IGBT (LTIGBT). The entire electrode of LTEIGBT was replace with trench-type electrode. The LTEIGBT was designed so that the width of device was no more than 19 ㎛. The Latch-up current densities of LIGBT, LTIGBT and the proposed LTEIGBT were 120A/㎠, 540A/㎠, and 1230A/㎠, respectively. The enhanced latch-up capability of the LTEIGBT was obtained through holes in the current directly reaching the cathode via the p+ cathode layer underneath n+ cathode layer. The forward blocking voltage of the LTEIGBT is 130V. Conventional LIGBT and LTIGBT of the same size were no more than 60V and 100V, respectively. Because the the proposed device was constructed of trench-type electrodes, the electric field moved toward trench-oxide layer, and punch through breakdown of LTEIGBT is occurred, lately.
