  • Abstract
    In this work, we present a TCAD simulation based analysis on high voltage trench IGBTs during switching conditions sufficiently stressful to trigger the dynamic avalanche phenomenon. The analyses show the effect of current filamentation on the collector-emitter-voltage of the IGBT.
