Investigation of 4H-SiC Extraction-Enhanced Vertical Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor with Lightly Doped Extractor in Collector Region
Abstract:
This paper proposes a new N-type 4H-SiC extraction-enhanced vertical insulated-gate bipolar transistor (E2VIGBT), which uses a partial Schottky contact to the collector region bottom surface as a carrier extractor to enhance the carrier extraction, so that the switching performance will be improved. TCAD simulation shows that, at an operation frequency of 250 kHz, the E2VIGBT offers a turn-off loss decrease of 69.2% and a total energy loss in a single period reduction of 34.4% when compared with conventional field-stop 4H-SiC IGBTs. With further specific optimization, the proposed structure consumes less energy in a much wider frequency range. The simulation results indicate that this new type of IGBT performs better in high frequency applications.
