For the first time, E2LIGBTs have exceeded the counterpart lateral DMOS both in switching speed and in on-resistance. The superior performance is achieved by the novel anode structure consisting of a narrow p+-injector and a wide Schottky contact on a lightly doped p-layer over an n-buffer. The on-state voltage can be further reduced to 3.0V at 84 A/cm2 by introducing Carrier Storage (CS) layer.

A novel edge termination design called “Partial P Collector” is proposed and evaluated. The novel design reduces current crowding and relaxes electric field in the edge termination. Simulated and measured results show that the failure mode of the novel design is determined by current filament phenomenon inside active cell region.
