  • Abstract
    We present electrical characteristics of a 1200V FieldStop-IGBT based on a high resistance substrate and device thickness between 100μm and 120μm. The vertical optimization leads to strongly reduced conduction and switching losses, especially under soft switching (ZVT) conditions. The turn-off transients are strongly affected by the design. Under hard-switching conditions, this IGBT shows a MOS-like current waveform without the tail current typical for bipolar devices.
