The high temperature DC characteristics of a high voltage lateral insulated-gate bipolar transistors with NPN anode in junction isolation technology

The high temperature DC characteristics of a high-voltage bulk Si lateral insulated-gate bipolar transistor in junction isolation (JI-LIGBT) technology is studied intensively in this paper. The current density distribution in the off-state at different temperatures of three types of device structure is compared. By using the Quasi-vertical DMOSFET (QVDMOS or multi-channel, MC) structure, the electron injection from the channel into the n-drift region is significantly enhanced, and the current density is improved. In addition, by extending the p-top layer to the NPN anode not only improves the breakdown voltage but also reduces the substrate current as well as ensures high temperature stability.
