Technical field
The invention belongs to the semiconductor power device technology field, relate to insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT).
Background technology
The advantage that the input impedance of the existing MOSFET of IGBT is high, power controlling is little, drive circuit is simple, switching speed is high has the advantage that current density is big, saturation pressure reduces, current handling capability is strong of bipolar power article body pipe again.So three big characteristics of IGBT power device are exactly high pressure, big electric current, at a high speed, this is that other power device can not be compared.So it is the very desirable switching device of field of power electronics; The IGBT product has been gathered high frequency, high pressure, big electric current three big technical advantages; IGBT can realize energy-saving and emission-reduction simultaneously; Have good environmental protection benefit, IGBT is widely used in tradition and emerging fields such as power domain, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, new forms of energy, and market prospects are boundless.The IGBT biggest advantage is no matter can bear rush of current in conducting state or in short-circuit condition; Its weak point is that the high pressure IGBT internal resistance is big; Cause conduction loss big; Be applied to height (in) when pressing the field, need a plurality of series connection usually, and overvoltage, overheated, shock resistance, holding capacity such as anti-interference are lower.
When the IGBT forward conduction; Positive grid voltage makes raceway groove open; The emitter electronics flows to the drift region through raceway groove, because the collector electrode forward bias, the collector region hole pours in the drift region; With a large amount of electronics generation conductivity modulation effects of drift region, thereby can make IGBT little a lot of than the conduction voltage drop of VDMOS; When IGBT turn-offed, grid voltage was negative voltage or no-voltage, and the emitter electronics suddenly disappears, and current collection is high voltage very, and the drift region is continued to pour in a large amount of holes, forms big hole current, and this moment, IGBT was in reverse blocking state, because parasitic PNP pipe α
PNPAlong with temperature raises and sharply rising, make the leakage current of IGBT significantly raise along with the rising of temperature, high temperature, big leakage current are easy to cause the avalanche breakdown of device and even burn.And a large amount of holes of pouring into the drift region are except being extracted by anode and negative electrode respectively with an electronics part fast, thus another part compound generation hangover electric current in the drift region, bottom that does not exhaust, and than VDMOS, the IGBT turn-off time is much bigger; Though IGBT has many performance advantages, reduces high-temperature current leakage, improve the turn-off characteristic of IGBT, the reliability that improves IGBT is focus, difficult point and the emphasis of IGBT research always.

The present invention provides a kind of IGBT with terminal deep-level impurity layer; Be on conventional P lanar FS-IGBT basis; In the drift region, terminal, inject one deck deep-level impurity layer, said termination environment deep-level impurity layer is along with temperature rising degree of ionization increases, and the termination environment impurity concentration increases; When IGBT turn-offs, can reduce PNP pipe α
PNP, effectively reduce high-temperature current leakage, and then can prevent the avalanche breakdown that high temperature, high pressure, high-current leading rise.And deep-level impurity itself is exactly the complex centre, can effectively improve the IGBT turn-off characteristic, improves the reliability of IGBT.
