摘要
The conductivity-modulation enhancement of n-channel SiC insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) with different device cell layouts has been investigated. By utilizing the box cell layout, the specific differential on-resistance was reduced by 35%, while the turn-off loss increased only slightly (up to 7 %). This implies that the box layout can effectively enhance the carrier concentration near the emitter region in the on-state. Also, SiC IGBTs fabricated with the box layout properly operated without latch-up phenomenon up to 300 A/cm(2) switching. SiC IGBTs can significantly reduce the on-voltage with only a small switching loss increase by utilizing the box layout.
