In this paper, a new vertical DMOS Transistor is proposed, in which floating islands are placed in the drift region. This new structure, called "FLIMOST", exhibits improved on-state performance when compared to the conventional VDMOST. For instance, for a breakdown voltage of 900 Volts, the performance is strongly improved in term of specific on-resistance (reduction of about 70% relative to the conventional structure and 40% relative to the silicon limit). Moreover the specific on-resistance theoretical limits of FLIMOST family are determined and compared to those of the "Superjunction" MOS Transistor family: this comparison shows the strong interest of the FLIMOSFET in the 200 V-1000 V breakdown voltage range.

Silicon carbide switching devices exhibit superior properties compared to silicon devices. Low specific on-resistance for high breakdown voltages is believed to be the most outstanding feature of SiC power switching devices. In this paper, MOSFETs and JFETs capable to block 1800 V with a specific on-resistance of 47 m/spl Omega/ cm/sup 2/ and 14.5 m/spl Omega/ cm/sup 2/, resp., are discussed. However, there are additional advantages making SiC devices attractive for the system designer. The authors present fast recovery of the 6H-SiC MOSFET reverse diode (Q/sub rr/ 30 nC, t/sub rr/ 20 ns) and fast switching as well as short circuit capability (1 ms) of vertical VJFETs. Finally, a short outlook to future SiC switching devices is given.

In this paper, we explore a new concept for improvement of an avalanche capability of a power MOSFET. The concept is to make parasitic bipolar transistors in all over the chip turn on, and to suppress breakdown current crowding. The avalanche capability of an UMOSFET applied this new concept was 1500 mJ. This value was about one order higher than that of a conventional UMOSFET.

600 V trench IGBTs with various cell structures including cellular and stripe geometry are implemented and their device characteristics are compared in terms of short-circuit ruggedness and device performances. The cellular IGBT which employs n+ source EBR and channel generated EBR shows 18 /spl mu/s of SCWT and 1.7 V of Vce,sat while the stripe IGBT shows 16 /spl mu/s and 1.8 V, respectively. Experimental results show that cellular geometry trench IGBT exhibits better short-circuit immunity than the stripe geometry.

In this paper, we show on an example how thermal characterization on test vehicles supported by simulation can be used to define a consistent Accelerated Stress Test for power IC's. We describe the reliability program to access the long-term behavior of LDMOS transistors. After the study of the advantages and limitations of the back body diode thermal measurement method, we have investigated in this work the thermal limits of the tested transistors. Then, using a dedicated test bench, we have evaluated the reliability of the devices submitted to repetitive energy discharges and we have studied the observed failure mechanism. Finally, based on these test results, we have set up a reliability database, which helps us to relate the lifetime of the devices and their working temperature. Thanks to this database, LDMOS design and size will be optimized regarding reliability performances.

In this paper, 600-V, 10-A TBJDs were fabricated utilizing a self-aligned trench process, and characterized experimentally. The static and dynamic characteristics of the TBJDs were investigated at both room and elevated temperatures. Compared to the p-i-n diode, the TBJDs were shown to have not only superior reverse recovery characteristics, but also lower on-state voltage drops and the same reverse leakage current levels at elevated temperature.

This paper proposes an improvement to a 30 V N-Channel Power VDMOSFET's UIS and high temperature breakdown voltage capability by using a non-etched 0.0750 /spl mu/m thin oxide spacer as masking for a high dose body implant in lieu of a power industry accepted 0.3 /spl mu/m-0.5 /spl mu/m etched spacer. This thinner non-etched spacer allows for a more highly concentrated and precise body dopant distribution beneath the source region, for a given implant energy, preventing the parasitic BJT from turning on at high current densities. As a consequence the UIS and high temperature (/spl ges/150/spl deg/C) breakdown characteristics are enhanced without increasing threshold voltage or device on-resistance.
本文提出了一种改进30 V n沟道功率VDMOSFET的UIS和高温击穿电压能力的方法,通过使用非蚀刻0.0750 /spl μ l /m的薄氧化物间隔片作为高剂量体植入物的掩蔽剂,取代了电力行业接受的0.3 /spl μ l /m-0.5 /spl μ l /m的蚀刻间隔片。对于给定的植入物能量,这种更薄的非蚀刻间隔允许在源区域下更高度集中和精确的体掺杂分布,防止寄生BJT在高电流密度下打开。因此,在不增加阈值电压或器件导通电阻的情况下,UIS和高温(/spl /150/spl℃)击穿特性得到了增强。
