Abstract :
A new 1700 V IGBT is presented, with a PT structure formed by diffusing the collector and buffer layers into a homogeneous silicon wafer. This structure retains the superior Vce(sat)-switching loss trade-off of the PT IGBT, whilst achieving the greater short circuit ruggedness and easier parallel connection of NPT devices
