A novel HV thin layer SOI technology based on 1.5-μm-thick silicon layer for negative HV power supply has been first proposed. HV field nLDMOS with thick gate oxide, HV pLDMOS with thin gate oxide and LV CMOS are compatible with shallow trench isolation. Gate and source field plates are adopted to improve the breakdown characteristics of HV field nLDMOS since it doesn't meet SOI RESURF criterion. N-field with shallow junction depth is introduced to eliminate channel discontinuity around the “beak” region at the source side of HV field nLDMOS and avoid punch-through breakdown induced by BG effect of HV field nLDMOS. The influences of key parameters on breakdown mechanism are discussed and optimal parameters are obtained to achieve well characteristics of HV field nLDMOS for negative HV power supply. A negative HV switching IC using the proposed thin layer SOI technology shows that both the rise and fall times of the output stages are less than 50 ns under the negative supply voltage of -100 V and the load capacitance of 5000 pF.

In this paper we present the detailed investigation of the influence of the internal bipolar PNP transistor gain on the thermal stability of high voltage IGBTs and BiGTs. The bipolar gain is controlled by means of anode and buffer design and by the introduction of anode shorts. The influence of the different buffer and anode doping profiles and the different layouts in the case of anode-shorted designs are analyzed. Temperature dependent leakage current measurements confirm that the lowering of the leakage current and its subsequent weak temperature dependency can be achieved by buffer and anode engineering albeit with certain design trade-off restrictions. Nevertheless, another effective approach for suppressing the leakage current and its dependency on temperature is achieved by the introduction of anode shorts as demonstrated in reverse conducting IGBT or BiGT structures. Such designs eliminate to a large extent the internal bipolar transistor action in the BiGT anode shorted designs while allowing different anode and buffer doping profiles for the design trade-offs. Despite the fact that the lifetime control in the BiGT drift region causes the leakage current to increase, the temperature coefficient remains unchanged, hence, making the hard switched BiGT suitable for high temperature operation.

A PNM (Partially Narrow Mesa) -IGBT with a fundamentally new surface is proposed for the first time. The unique gate shape looks like a “vase” and generates an extreme injection enhancement. Its performance approaches the limits of Si-IGBT. Therefore, PNM-IGBT is able to contribute to the saturation voltage reduction and the improvement of Vce(sat)-Eoff trade off. Furthermore, it can be adapted to actual conditions because of its sufficiently rugged structure.

Power electronic interfaces are vital to advanced, smarter, distributed grids and micro-grids and the capabilities and limitations of power devices are integral to this. This paper discusses existing and emerging applications of grid connected electronic interfaces that are enabled by Power Semiconductor Devices. The application focus will be on: (1) inverters, which are a key element of modern distributed and renewable energy systems; (2) solid-state transformers which hold great promise to reduce size and weight, while enhancing performance, compared to existing Grid transformers; (3) MV static transfer switches, which facilitate redundant power at the medium voltage level. Capabilities and tradeoffs between Power circuit topologies, available devices, and circuit techniques are presented. Existing and projected market opportunities are also presented, and motivation for future device development is outlined. Emerging transformative research using wide band gap devices in silicon-dominated power device applications, along with hybrid power switch configurations, will also be highlighted. The compelling requirement of advanced grids for both fast fault current limiting, fast voltage control, and possibly increased overload capability to enable the much heralded advances, are also shown to be completely dependent on devices, along with their cost effective application.

A simple method to design the single-mask multi-zone junction termination extension (MZJTE) (SM-MZJTE) for high-voltage insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is presented and experimentally demonstrated. By assuming that the p-type SM-MZJTE region is completely depleted and the equipotential lines are circular arcs for simplicity, an analytical model of the selective function is derived from the charge balance and the geometrical relations. As the blocking capability is sensitive to the implantation dose, the Boron segregation at Si-SiO2 interface has also been taken into consideration in this model. According to the analytical model, high-voltage IGBTs and test devices with edge termination of SM-MZJTE are fabricated. IGBTs with edge termination implantation dose of 3×1012 cm-2 show highest average breakdown voltage of 3.79 kV (about 92% of the parallel plane breakdown voltage).

AlGaN/GaN metal insulator semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs) employing rf sputtered Ga2O3 have been proposed and fabricated. A very high breakdown voltage exceeding 3200 V and a low drain leakage current of 230 nA/mm at gate-drain distance (LGD) of 40 μm was achieved without any sacrificing DC output characteristics while those of the unpassivated HEMT were 350 V and 134 μA/mm. The breakdown voltage of the Ga2O3 passivated HEMT was increased with increase of LGD because the injected electrons into the deep traps in Ga2O3 effectively extended the depletion region between the gate and the drain. And the injected electrons into deep traps have high activation energy for de-trapping so that the reverse blocking characteristics of the Ga2O3 passivated HEMT were considerable improved.

In this study, a reduction in the saturation current caused by self-heating effect at high VGS is observed in a 35-V rated asymmetric DEMOSFET. The high VGS -induced the large current and raises up the device surface temperature. The Kirk-effect takes places at sufficiently high current levels (high VGS values) leading to the movement of the maximum temperature point from the gate-overlapped DE (drain-extended) region to the drain-side contact region. The drift-region resistance strongly correlates to the self-heating effect and the VK voltage is proportional to the doping concentration in the drift region. As a result, the reduced surface heating (RESURH) can be realized by the optimization of doping concentration in the drift region.
