A compact steady-state self-heating model for a thin SOI LIGBT

Abstract

Several vertical IGBT electro-thermal models are currently available on circuit simulators. However, no reliable electro-thermal models have been proposed for the lateral IGBT (LIGBT). In this paper we present a novel steady-state electro-thermal model for a LIGBT on thin Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology. The model is fully-assessed against experimental results and numerical simulations
