The design criterion improves dV/sub CE//dt controllability during the IEGT turn-on transient without sacrificing the featured low saturation voltage of the IEGT structure. The perfectly floating p-well region, as the criterion, prevents the undesirable V/sub GE/ overshoot and the resultant uncontrollable dV/sub CE//dt. The design criterion has been applied to a 1200 V ultra thin PT-IEGT, and low noise turn-on characteristics have been experimentally obtained. IEGTs with the new criterion enable low noise operation and precise gate control, which are suitable for active gate drive.","PeriodicalId":303825,"journal":{"name":"2004 Proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125337763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The integrated diode structure is a trench MOS barrier Schottky (TMBS) device, and the area of the TMBS structure, as a ratio of the total active area, was the independent variable in this study, ranging from zero to 50%. The results of both simulation and experiments show that there is an optimum contribution of TMBS area which maximizes the performance of the integrated device. Initially, the results provided a strong correlation between TMBS contribution, diode recovery characteristics, and DC-DC converter efficiency. However, a closer examination of the underlying, device level current distribution waveforms, as well as the power loss mechanisms in the converter, reveal a more complex interaction of the TMBS structure and the MOSFET. It is only in the context of this analysis, that useful device design insight can be extracted.","PeriodicalId":303825,"journal":{"name":"2004 Proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125021724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
