Abstract
In order to further reduce the switching loss (ESW), a novel floating CS layer and super-junction insulated gate bipolar transistor (FCS-SJBJ-IGBT) with internal barrier junction is proposed and simulated. On the premise of not affecting breakdown voltage (BV), the CS layer of FCS-SJBJ-IGBT is floating, so that the P-body is connected with the P-drift region, and a small part of P-pillar is formed between the CS layer and the left gate, which enables electrons to flow rapidly through this region in the on state, and provides an extraction hole path in the off state to reduce the loss. The simulation results show that,under the same forward conduction voltage (VON) condition, the turn-on energy loss (EON) of FCS-SJBJ-IGBT is significantly lower than that of the traditional super-junction IGBT (con-SJ-IGBT) and 34.5 % lower than that of the recently reported super-junction IGBT (SJBJ-IGBT) with blocking junction, P-pillar and N-pillar, while their turn-off energy loss (EOFF) is almost the same. The research results can provide important reference for reducing the ESW of IGBT.
