Structure oriented compact model for advanced trench IGBTs without fitting parameters for extreme condition: Part I

Compact model for expressing turn-off waveform for advanced trench gate IGBTs is proposed even under high current density condition. The model is analytically formulated only with device structure parameters so that no fitting parameters are required. The validity of the model is confirmed with TCAD simulation for 1.2 kV to 6.5 kV class IGBTs. The proposed turn-off model is sufficiently accurate to calculate trade-off curve between turn-off loss and saturation collector voltage under extremely high current conduction, so that the model can be used for system design with the advanced trench gate IGBTs. * Corresponding author.
