Abstract
A thin non-punch-through semiconductor device with a patterned collector layer on the collector side is proposed. The thin NPT RC-IGBT semiconductor device has a collector layer with a pattern of p/n shorts, an emitter side structured as a functional MOS cell, a base layer arranged between the emitter and the collector sides, but without the use of a buffer/field-stop layer. A low doped bipolar gain control layer having a thickness of less than 10 μm may be used in combination with a short pattern of the collector to reduce the bipolar gain and achieve thinner devices with lower losses and high operating temperature capability. The doping concentration of the base layer and a thickness of the base layer are adapted such that the distance from the end of the electric field region to the patterned collector, at breakdown voltage, is less than 15% of the total device thickness.
