This paper explores the operation mechanism of the superjunction structure in RC-IGBTs based on carrier distribution and analyzes the advantages and challenges associated with its application in RC-IGBTs for the first time. A Partial Schottky Collector Superjunction Reverse Conduction IGBT (PSC-SJ-RC-IGBT) is proposed to address these issues. The new structure eliminates the snapback phenomenon. Furthermore, by leveraging the unipolar conduction of the Schottky diode and its fast turn-off characteristics, the proposed device significantly reduces the turn-off power consumption and reverse recovery charge. With medium pillar doping concentration, the turn-off loss of the PSC-SJ-RC-IGBT decreases by 54.1% compared to conventional superjunction RC-IGBT, while the reverse recovery charge is reduced by 52.6%.
本文基于载流子分布探究了RC-IGBT中超结结构的运行机制,并首次分析了其在RC-IGBT中应用的优势与挑战。为解决这些问题,提出了一种部分肖特基集电极超结反向导通绝缘栅双极型晶体管(PSC-SJ-RC-IGBT)。新结构消除了反向击穿现象。此外,通过利用肖特基二极管的单极传导及其快速关断特性,所提出的器件显著降低了关断功耗和反向恢复电荷。在中等柱掺杂浓度下,PSC-SJ-RC-IGBT的关断损耗相较于传统超结RC-IGBT降低了54.1%,而反向恢复电荷减少了52.6%。
