圖1C與1D分別顯示功率元件100的電路符號與電性特徵曲線示意圖。橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1操作機制,如圖1B中粗黑實線的電路符號所示意,並參閱圖1C與1D,是利用閘極162(閘極G)控制由射極182(射極E)、第二N型延伸區142與第二P型區152所形成的PNP雙極接面電晶體(bipolar junction transistor,BJT)中的基極電流,導通橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1,透過設計基極寬度和濃度,可以決定導通電流IC的放大率,以得到最佳的導通電壓,降低功率損耗。橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1的基極電流是受到閘極電壓,也就是施加於閘極162的電壓所控制。隨著閘極電壓增加,基極電流與射極電流等比增加。 1C and 1D respectively show a circuit symbol and a schematic diagram of an electrical characteristic curve of the power device 100 . The operation mechanism of the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 is shown by the circuit symbol of the thick black solid line in FIG. pole E), the base current in the PNP bipolar junction transistor (bipolar junction transistor, BJT) formed by the second N-type extension region 142 and the second P-type region 152, conducts the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor For LIGBT1, by designing the base width and concentration, the amplification factor of the conduction current IC can be determined to obtain the best conduction voltage and reduce power loss. The base current of the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 is controlled by the gate voltage, that is, the voltage applied to the gate 162 . As the gate voltage increases, the base current increases proportionally to the emitter current.

當橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1應用於馬達驅動時,需要通過短路保護測試(short circuits test),測試方法是將橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1中,施加於閘極162(閘極G)的電壓增加到最大供應電壓(通常是15~20V),而施加於射極182(射極E)的電壓,則加壓到基底(bulk)電壓,例如但不限於400V。此時因為流經汲極172(汲極C)導通電流IC達到最大電流。當最大的導通電流IC通過電阻Re,容易觸發橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1中,由第二N型區132、第二P型區152與汲極172所組成的寄生NPNBJT導通,觸發寄生於橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1中的PNPN栓鎖(latch-up)效應,而造成高壓元件100損壞。過高的導通電流IC將使高壓元件100損壞的風險越高,所以適當限制導通電流IC的最大電流,才能降低觸發栓鎖效應的發生機率。 When the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 is applied to drive the motor, it needs to pass the short circuit test (short circuits test). The test method is to apply the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 to the gate 162 (gate The voltage of G) is increased to the maximum supply voltage (usually 15~20V), and the voltage applied to the emitter 182 (emitter E) is increased to the bulk voltage, such as but not limited to 400V. At this time, the conduction current IC reaches the maximum current due to flowing through the drain 172 (drain C). When the maximum conduction current IC passes through the resistor Re, it is easy to trigger the parasitic NPNBJT composed of the second N-type region 132, the second P-type region 152 and the drain 172 in the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 to turn on, triggering the parasitic The PNPN latch-up effect in the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 causes damage to the high voltage device 100 . Excessive conduction current IC will increase the risk of damage to the high-voltage element 100 , so the maximum current of conduction current IC can be appropriately limited to reduce the probability of triggering the latch-up effect.

傳統控制基極電流以限制導通電流IC的方法,都是透過控制施加於閘極162的電壓,避免過大的施加於閘極162的電壓變化。方法通常是利用另外的閘極驅動電路中的穩壓電路,抑制異常升高的電壓源,此方法可以有效控制來自電壓源不穩定的問題,但是對於外部短路造成的閘極-射極電容Cge感應電壓過大,則效果有限。如圖1C所示,因為由外部進行短路測試時,其他相的高壓接觸待測相時會將施加於射極182的電壓拉高造成突波(如圖1C中,射極E旁的訊號波形所示意)並透過閘極-射極電容Cge感應,進而如圖1D所示,造成施加於閘極G的電壓(如圖1C中,閘極G旁的訊號波形所示意)升高,進而造成基極電流與導通電流IC大增,而大幅提高橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1中的PNPN栓鎖(latch-up)效應被觸發的機率。 The traditional method of controlling the base current to limit the conduction current IC is to control the voltage applied to the gate 162 to avoid excessive voltage changes applied to the gate 162 . The method is usually to use the voltage stabilizing circuit in another gate drive circuit to suppress the abnormally high voltage source. This method can effectively control the problem of unstable voltage source, but for the gate-emitter capacitance Cge caused by external short circuit If the induced voltage is too large, the effect is limited. As shown in Figure 1C, because when the short circuit test is performed externally, when the high voltage of other phases contacts the phase to be tested, the voltage applied to the emitter 182 will be pulled up to cause a surge (as shown in Figure 1C, the signal waveform next to the emitter E As shown) and sensed through the gate-emitter capacitance Cge, and then as shown in Figure 1D, the voltage applied to the gate G (as shown in the signal waveform next to the gate G in Figure 1C) increases, thereby causing The base current and conduction current IC are greatly increased, which greatly increases the probability of the PNPN latch-up effect being triggered in the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1.

有鑑於此,本發明即針對上述先前技術之不足,提出一種具有橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體之功率元件及其製造方法,可降低功率元件100的栓鎖效應發生機率,以提高功率元件100的應用範圍。 In view of this, the present invention aims at the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, and proposes a power element with a lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor and a manufacturing method thereof, which can reduce the occurrence probability of the latch-up effect of the power element 100 and improve the power element 100. scope of application.
