Abstract :
A trench shielded planar gate IGBT is proposed in this paper. The unique 3D top cell structure, combining high density trench and low channel density, offers an excellent conduction vs. switching loss trade-off and a significantly better Short-circuit SOA compared to trench IEGTs. Measurements on fabricated devices show a 0.1V lower VCESAT for the same Eoff, and a 2x improvement in short circuit SOA.
