Influence of temperature and doping parameters on the performance of segmented anode NPN (SA-NPN) LIGBT

Abstract

An ultra-high performance SA-NPN anode LIGBT is presented. In contrast to other structures, the SA-NPN offers controllability of the device characteristics at the design stage through a simple variation in the ratio of NPN/P+ widths. The performance advantages of the SA-NPN LIGBT in comparison to a conventional structure at both room and elevated temperatures clearly demonstrate that the SA-NPN is one of the best in the class of anode engineering for lateral power devices.
