摘要
A trench-gate silicon-on-insulator (SOI) lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT) with the p(+) cathode well is proposed to improve the latch-up characteristics, and the improved characteristics are verified numerically by MEDICI simulation. It is found that the trench-gate SOI LIGBT exhibits at least 6 times larger latch-up capability than the conventional devices. The enhanced latch-up capability of the trench-gate SOI LIGBT is obtained due to the fact that the hole current in the device bypasses the resistance of the p body region which is the source of the latch-up and reaches the cathode via the p(+) cathode well.
