Description

Integrated gate commutated thyristor device with high current surge tolerance
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuits, and particularly relates to an Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) device with high current impact resistance.
Background
In bipolar devices represented by thyristors, gate turn-off thyristors (GTOs), IGCTs, a certain time delay is required after a gate trigger signal is given to achieve sufficient conduction, since carriers need to generate conductive plasma in the semiconductor body by lateral diffusion during turn-on. However, in a circuit, after the voltage between the cathode and the anode of the power electronic device is reduced, the current level is mainly affected by the topology and parameters of the outer loop, and when the resistance and inductance in the loop are small, the current often rises at a speed as high as kA/us. In this process, if the carriers in the device are not sufficiently diffused and conducted, the current density in the local area is easily excessive, and the device is likely to fail due to local overheating or the like.
In system applications, device failure caused by too fast current rise is avoided, typically by series connection of a reactor at the anode of the IGCT device to limit the rate of current rise. Although the introduction of the anode reactance can effectively limit the short-circuit current and short-circuit energy after the failure of the device besides avoiding the failure of the opening process, the excessively low current surge (i.e. the differential operation dI/dt of the current intensity I in the device to the time t, wherein I represents the current intensity in the device and t represents the time) tolerance capability causes the excessively large volume of the anode reactance in the IGCT series connection, and the problems of the volume of equipment, the mechanical structure, the heat dissipation design and the like in the application are brought.
Fig. 1 shows a typical structure of a Gate Commutated Thyristor (GCT) chip unit, in the process of triggering and conducting the gate commutated thyristor, current is injected from the gate to the cathode, electrons are emitted from the cathode emitter and spread to the lower region of the anode and the gate, a local electric field caused after passing through the J2 depletion region can cause hole emission on the anode, and the trigger device enters a conductivity modulation state, so that the effective resistivity inside the gate commutated thyristor is reduced, thereby increasing the current intensity inside the gate commutated thyristor, and the gate commutated thyristor is subject to current impact, so that the above-mentioned device failure condition is easy to occur.

In addition, descriptions of functions and constructions well known in the art may be omitted for clarity and conciseness.
First, the structure of a conventional IGCT device is described, as shown in fig. 2, which includes a GCT chip unit and a gate driving unit, wherein,
the GCT chip unit has three electrodes: 1 anode, 2 cathode and 3 gate, the internal structure of GCT chip unit is as shown in FIG. 1, and from cathode to anode is equipped with in proper order: n is n + Emitter or cathode emitter, p-base region, n + Buffer layer, p + An emitter or an anode emitter, wherein a gate electrode is arranged on the surface of the p base region;

Compared with the traditional IGCT device, the IGCT device with high dI/dt tolerance provided by the invention has one or more of the following structures:
1. the gate driving unit is capable of actively detecting anode current, and increasing trigger current when the anode current is smaller after trigger conduction so as to enhance electron emission of the cathode emitter. The main reason for damaging the components is that the excessively fast current rising rate is matched with the incompletely uniform manufacturing process and the spurious parameters, so that the chip is only locally conducted, the whole device is invalid due to the excessively large current, the trigger current integrally injected into the device on the same time node becomes large after the trigger current of the gate driving unit is enhanced, and the carriers become more, thereby being beneficial to the uniform conduction of the GCT device.
In the gate driving unit, the function of actively detecting the anode current by the gate driving unit is realized by adding an anode current measuring sensor such as a Hall sensor and other current sensors in the gate driving unit or by measuring the voltage between a gate and a cathode and correcting by matching with a temperature sensor to obtain the anode current:
as shown in fig. 3, an anode current measurement sensor is connected with the anode of the GCT chip unit to measure the anode current of the GCT chip unit, and the anode current measurement sensor is further connected to a 4 logic control module, so that the IGCT device actively detects the anode current through the anode current measurement sensor such as a 12 hall sensor and sends the detection result to the 4 logic control module, and the 4 logic control module promotes the trigger current when the anode current is smaller after triggering and conducting through a 6-on driving module so as to enhance the gate driving of electron emission of the cathode emitter;
as shown in fig. 4, a 13 temperature sensor on the GCT chip unit is connected to a 4 logic control module, to provide the temperature of the GCT chip unit for the 4 logic control module, the 4 logic control module measures the voltage between the 2 cathode and the 3 gate through the feedback signal of the 2 cathode and the 3 gate and corrects the voltage with the 13 temperature sensor to obtain anode current, and the 4 logic control module promotes the trigger current when the anode current is smaller after triggering and conducting through a 6-on driving module according to the value of the anode current so as to enhance the electron emission of the cathode emitter;
the 4 logic control module improves the charging time of the trigger freewheeling inductor of the 3 gate electrode by modifying the control logic in the logic control module, and improves the peak current of the trigger freewheeling inductor, so that the trigger current is improved, and the peak current value can be typically improved from 2A to 10A.
2. Internal carrier lifetime enhancement to>100us GCT chip unit. After the service life of the carrier is prolonged in the GCT chip unit, the compound effect of the device is weakened on the same time node, the concentration of the carrier in the body is increased, the uniform conduction of the GCT device is facilitated, the damage probability of the GCT device is reduced, and the dI/dt tolerance of the GCT device is improved. The GCT chip unit is prepared by the technological means including but not limited to reducing electron irradiation dose, reducing p base region doping and the like, so that the service life of internal carriers of the chip is prolonged, the control of the service life of the internal carriers is related to specific application scenes, and the service life of the internal carriers can be prolonged from 5-10us to 10us typically>100us, wherein the process means for manufacturing the GCT chip unit comprises reducing the radiation dose to a level that is not performed, wherein the peak doping of the p-base region is typically 1e17/cm -3 Can be reduced to 3e16-5e16/cm -3 Magnitude or avoiding heavy metal contamination in the process flow.
3. In the on state, the cathode current density is approximately equal in each region of the chip (e.g., the cathode current density is equal to or greater than 90% in each region of the chip). The cathode surface structure of the gate contact ring, such as a double-gate structure, is optimized, so that the triggering non-uniformity caused by different stray parameters of gate metal electrodes everywhere is reduced, the uniformity of trigger current distribution is ensured, the uniform distribution of cathode current is further realized, the uniform opening of the IGCT device is facilitated, the damage probability of the GCT device is reduced, and the dI/dt tolerance of the GCT device is improved. As shown in fig. 5, the cathode surface structure of the gate contact ring of the present invention is preferably a double-gate structure, which comprises a cathode center 14 and a plurality of concentric cathode rings 15-22 outside the cathode center, two concentric gate contact rings 23, one or more radial gate contact strips 25 and a plurality of cathode strips 24, wherein the plurality of cathode strips 24 are radially arranged in a partial region of each cathode ring to form a sector region, and the optimization is that gate electrodes are simultaneously arranged at the center and the outer side of each cathode strip 24 to contact with the metal structure in the package; the size of the gate contact ring can be improved on the basis of the double-gate design, as shown in fig. 6, in the conventional structure, the upper side width is 0.5 mm-2 mm, and in the improved structure of the invention, the upper side width is 0.5 mm-3 mm, and the lower side width is 2 mm-5.5 mm.
4. Individual GCT chip units of reduced lateral dimensions. The single GCT chip unit with the transverse size is reduced, so that the perimeter ratio of the gate region of the GCT device relative to the boundary of the cathode region is increased, and further, the trigger current is more quickly and uniformly injected into each cathode unit, so that the trigger opening is more uniformly performed, the damage probability of the GCT device is reduced, and the dI/dt tolerance of the GCT device is improved. As shown in fig. 7, which is a partial top view of an IGCT device of the present invention including adjacent GCT chip units, the gate region and three cathode strips therein are shown, and the gate region and the three cathode strips are separated by an isolation region, it can be seen that by reducing the spacing between the cathode strips and the maximum width of the gate metal between the cathode strips, the lateral dimension of the individual GCT chip units is reduced, and the diffusion time is reduced on the premise of maintaining the equivalent diffusion distance, and the turn-on speed is increased. In the existing GCT device structure, the width of the comb strip is 180-300 um, the spacing between GCT chip units is 250-450 um, the width of the gate electrode is 180-300 um, typically the transverse length of each unit is about 280um, after improvement, the width of the comb strip is 2-100 um, the spacing between units is 4-400 um, and the width of the gate electrode is 2-300 um, so that the transverse length of each GCT chip unit is shortened to be within 200 um.
By adopting the structure, the tolerance of the IGCT device can reach 20kA/us.
From the above, the IGCT device provided by the invention has high dI/dt tolerance, and can be fully conducted without damage under the condition of high dI/dt, so that the anode reactance for limiting the current rising rate in the system application is effectively reduced, the volume of an external module is reduced, and the application convenience is improved.
