  • A screening test of GaN-HEMTs for improvement of breakdown voltage uniformity Reviewed International journal

    As a screening test recipe, burst unclamped inductive switching (UIS) test is proposed to improve breakdown voltage uniformity. One of the critical disadvantages of GaN-HEMTs is its lack of the UIS withstanding capability, because there is no removal structure of holes, which generated by the avalanche breakdown. Hence, at the screening in the mass-production, measurement of the avalanche breakdown voltage cannot be employed to reject low breakdown voltage devices due to catastrophic failure, and conventional static drain leakage current measurements are insufficient. This paper reports a screening test of GaN-HEMTs by repetitive overvoltage stress using burst UIS test. The experimental results show the repetitive overvoltage stress was needed to reject outliers with low breakdown voltage and optimum test current avoided to generate new outliers.

  • Demonstration of superior UIS robustness of 3300 V scaled IGBT by non-proportional scaling methods Reviewed International journal

    Zhou, X; Saito, W; Hiramoto, T

    Robustness under high-temperature Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) tests was systematically compared among 3300 V scaled Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) using TCAD simulations, with scaling factors (k) ranging from 1 to 10. Based on multiple lines of physical evidence, the failure mechanism of IGBTs during the UIS test was identified as a latch-up. A slight degradation in UIS robustness was observed in fully scaled IGBTs, as evaluated using a novel reliability comparison method. Moreover, certain non-proportional scaling techniques were shown to mitigate this degradation, with some approaches even surpassing the UIS robustness of the original (k = 1) IGBT design.

  • A Warpage Prediction Model for Trench Field-Plate Power MOSFET in 300mm-Diameter Process Reviewed International journal

    A wafer warpage prediction model for trench field-plate MOSFETs on large diameter wafers is proposed. Trench field-plate MOSFETs have deeper trenches and thicker oxides compared to conventional power MOSFETs, and the stress imbalance between the front and back of the wafer must be controlled to suppress wafer warpage in the mass-production process. Therefore, predicting wafer warpage throughout the process is a key technology from the viewpoint of process integration, and its importance is increasing with the use of large-diameter wafers. In this study, as a main process module in trench field-plate power MOSFET process, the processes of trench formation, oxidation, polysilicon deposition, and annealing were examined. The wafer warpage and Raman shift were analyzed by comparing the experiment results with simulations in a 300 mm diameter process. Based on the measured wafer warpage, anisotropic deformation of the poly silicon after annealing was suggested, and a new model considering this anisotropic deformation was developed to predict the through-process for 300 mm wafers.

  • Digital Active Gate Driving Automatically Minimizing Switching Loss While Keeping Surge Current Below User-Specified Target

    2024 IEEE 10th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference (IPEMC2024-ECCE Asia)   2372 - 2377   2024.5   ISBN:9798350351330

    To address the user-specified surge current targets and the trade-off problem between surge current and switching loss in gate drivers, a digital active gate driving method is proposed that automatically minimizes the switching loss while keeping the surge current below the user-specified target. A 6.5 kV IGBT is driven at 3.6 kV and 56 A load current using a digital gate driver (DGD) IC that can change the gate current in 64 levels from 0 A to 1 A in 480 ns steps. For each of the four user-specified surge current targets at turn-on, the optimum parameters of DGD are searched by repeating the double-pulse test 2500 times using the simulated annealing algorithm. As a result, the switching loss is successfully reduced by 18 % to 27 % compared with the conventional gate driving while automatically meeting the surge current targets.

  • Study on stress in trench structures during silicon IGBTs process-oxidation

    Cai, BZ; Yuan, JY; Miyamura, Y; Saito, W; Nishizawa, SI

    In silicon insulated gate bipolar transistors, the trench gate structure is used to achieve smaller cell size and lower ON resistance, and thereby reduces energy loss. However, the thermal process can cause large stress near the trench and sometimes degrades device performance. This study proposed a three-dimensional model of a silicon chip with trench structures to analyze the stress distribution induced by thermal process around the trench, the scribe line, and the bottom surface of the chip. The calculated stress is in good agreement with measurement by Raman spectroscopy. The mesa top has much higher stress than the scribe line and the bottom surface. The stress depends on oxide thickness and the size scaling may reduce the stress.

    Assist Gate (AG) MOSFET is proposed for low power loss operation of low-voltage power MOSFETs by a new structure with the optimum gate control. The second channel and accumulation layer reduce the channel and drift resistances. In addition, the gate control of AG-MOSFET decreases turn-off loss. 40 and 100 V-class AG-MOSFET characteristics were analyzed using TCAD simulation. The AG-MOSFET improves on-resistance and turn-off loss trade-off. The simulation results show 34% lower on-resistance with 16% lower turn-off loss for 40 V-class device and 21% lower on-resistance with 10% lower turn-off loss for 100 V-class device.

    Vertical PNP bipolar transistor test structures were fabricated and measured, attempting to electrically obtain information on carrier lifetime in the voltage-supporting base region of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs). Owing to the structural similarity, the test structures and functional IGBTs can be integrated on the same wafers, making it possible to directly correlate lifetime data and IGBT characteristics. To solve a problem of leaky backside PN junction, common base current gain of the test devices was measured without applying a reverse bias between the collector and base terminals, which suppressed the leakage to an acceptable level. A simple analytical formula to convert the current gain to hole lifetime in the N-type base region was proposed and used, that takes into account the existence of a commonly used N-buffer layer adjacent to the backside P-collector layer. The validity of the formula was confirmed using TCAD simulations. This method was applied to IGBT wafers with two different wafer thicknesses (i.e., base lengths):
    120 μm and 360 μm. Consistent lifetime values extracted in spite of the largely different thicknesses supports the validity of the proposed lifetime estimation method.
