Abstract
A new field-limiting-ring (FLR) concept with variable ring widths is proposed for designing a high voltage collector-gate clamped IGBT. An IGBT based on the new concept has been designed and fabricated with a standard IGBT process flow to provide a clamp voltage of 620 volts. The new high voltage clamped IGBT is to be primarily used in automotive ignition applications
