| Abstract |
A self-aligned latch-up suppressed IGBT has been proposed and the process method and the device characteristics of the IGBT have been verified by numerical simulation. As the source is laterally diffused through the sidewall of the trench in the middle of the body, the size of the source is small and the doping concentration of the source is lower than that of the p++ body and the emitter efficiency of the parasitic npn transistor is low so that latch-up may be suppressed. No additional mask steps for p++ region, source, and source contact are required so that small sized body can be obtained Latch-u current density higher than 10000 A/cm^{2} have been achieved by adjusting the process conditions. |
