摘要
A new, three terminal, Reverse Conducting Trench Clustered IGBT (RC-TCIGBT) is proposed and evaluated using numerical simulations in 1200 V, Non-Punch Through (NPT) technology. This device is a monolithic integration of an antiparallel thyristor (APT) in the TCIGBT [1, 2]. This approach does not increase device area and ensures snap-back free operation in the first (I-st) and third (IIIrd) quadrants. Moreover, it is shown that the RC-TCIGBT which belongs to the class of MOS bipolar devices with controlled thyristor action, can provide excellent Vce (sat)/Eoff trade-off and soft reverse recovery.
