Dynamic self-clamping at short-circuit turn-off of high-voltage IGBTs
Measurements show that the IGBT is able to clamp the collector-emitter voltage to a certain value at short-circuit turn-off despite a very low gate turn-off resistor in combination with a high parasitic inductance is applied. The IGBT itself reduces the turn-off diC/dt by avalanche injection. However, device destructions during fast turn-off were observed which cannot be linked with an overvoltage failure mode. Measurements and semiconductor simulations of high-voltage IGBTs explain the self-clamping mechanism in detail. Possible failures which can be connected with filamentation processes are described. Options for improving the IGBT robustness during short-circuit turn-off are discussed.
