Abstract
A split gate carrier stored trench bipolar transistor (CSTBT) with current clamping PMOS include a P-type buried layer and a split gate electrode with equal potential to an emitter metal on the basis of the traditional CSTBT, which effectively eliminates the influence of an N-type carrier stored layer on breakdown characteristics of the device through the charge compensation effect, and helps to improve the trade-off relationship between the on-state voltage drop and the turn-off loss. Moreover, the introduction of a parasitic PMOS structure can reduce the saturation current and improve short-circuit safe operating area of the device, reduce the Miller capacitance, and improve the switching speed of the device and reduce the switching loss of the device. In addition, the split gate CSTBT integrating the split gate electrode and gate electrode in the same trench can shorten the distance between PMOS and NMOS channels.
