AN-7504 The IGBTs - A New High Conductance MOS-Gated Device

ثبت نشده
چکیده

A new MOS gate-controlled power switch with a very low onresistance is described. The fabrication process is similar to that of an n-channel power MOSFET but employs an n--epitaxial layer grown on a p+ substrate. In operation, the epitaxial region is conductivity modulated (by excess holes and electrons) thereby eliminating a major component of the on-resistance. For example, on-resistance values have been reduced by a factor of about 10 compared with those of conventional n-channel power MOSFETs of comparable size and voltage capability.

AN-7505 Improved IGBTs with Fast Switching Speed And High-Current Capability

Conventional vertical power MOSFETs are limited at hig h voltages (>500V) by the appreciable resistance of their epitaxial drain region. In a new MOS-gate controlled device called an IGBT, this limitation is overcome by modulating the conductivity of th e resistive drain region, thereby reducing the on-resistance of th e device by a factor of at l east 10. However, the device previously describ...

Ballistic (n,0) Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors' I-V Characteristics: A Comparison of n=3a+1 and n=3a+2

Due to emergence of serious obstacles by scaling of the transistors dimensions, it has been obviously proved that silicon technology should be replaced by a new one having a high ability to overcome the barriers of scaling to nanometer regime. Among various candidates, carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors are introduced as the most promising devices for substituting the silicon-based ...

Present Status and Trends of Power Semiconductor Devices

The curtain has been raised on new century. Prior to discussing the present status and trends of power semiconductor devices, allow us to briefly review Fuji Electric’s history with power devices. The semiconductor device was invented and developed in the latter half of the 20th century. When Shockley, Brattain, and Bardeen invented a transistor in 1948, they did not think that this transistor ...

Robustness improvement of high-voltage IGBT by gate control

This paper considers the turn-off robustness (the maximal current being able to be turned off) of high power IGBTs under over current condition. The analysis of turn-off curves shows that the turn-off robustness of the investigated devices is not really limited by the rate of voltage rise on collector-emitter (dVCE / dt ). The main reason of the robustness limitation is found out to be the rate...
