  • Anotace:
    The commutation of 8.5 kV, 2.5 kA thyristors is experimentally investigated in a wide range of operation conditions. The dependence of the commutation turn-off time tq on the commutation di/dt, reverse voltage during commutation, forward blocking dv/dt, and temperature is presented in the range of 20 to 800 µs. The tq of phase control thyristors (PCT) is carried out for three application relevant combinations of the ON-state voltage VT and recovery time Qrr and compared with that of the bidirectional phase control thyristor (BiPCT). Growth coefficients of tq are provided for practical magnitudes of di/dt, dv/dt, and temperature to be used in the design of high-power converters.

  • Anotace:
    A new concept for encapsulation of discrete bipolar high-power devices using Epoxy Mold Compound is demonstrated on silicon 4.5 kV press-pack fast recovery diodes with wafer diameter up to 130 mm and molybdenum pressure-release buffer up to 140 mm in diameter. The silicon wafers can be bonded to molybdenum disks using low-temperature bonding process or they can be fixed mechanically by the epoxy mold compound without direct bonding (free-floating). The encapsulated devices can be applied as housing-less or they can be inserted into hermetic ceramic housings with pole piece of 143 mm. The design aspects relevant for reliable operation are presented using multi-physics simulation in COMSOL. The summary of passed reliability tests including electrical testing in true application conditions demonstrates readiness of the concept for demanding applications in the temperature range up to 140 °C.

  • Anotace:
    Silicon Fast Recovery Diodes of 4.5 kV class were produced with diameter of active area between 100 and 150 mm. Wide Safe Operation Area is experimentally demonstrated with IGBT operated at di/dt above 4 kA/μs for which diode recovery losses and peak power show decreasing trend above the diode average rating current of 5 kA, which is half of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) short circuit current. The role of IGBT switch and diode design on the robustness enhanced by increased diode area, is explained. The experimental results are confirmed by device simulation (TCAD).

  • Anotace:
    Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) is well established material for the passivation of high voltage negative bevelled power diode. In our previous works, the conduction mechanism of the DLC has been carefully described through the characterization and the physical modelling of Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor (MIS) structures. In addition, the effects on the breakdown voltage and leakage current have been clarified comparing the available experiments with numerical simulations. However, the role played by the DLC on the breakdown voltage temperature dependence is still lacking. In this work, we addressed the latter issue and found out an anomalous reduction of the temperature dependence which is clearly ascribed to the DLC behaviour. The temperature dependencies of carrier transport in the DLC have been further investigated in order to explain the experimental results. The observed effect might be related to the release of the trapped charges with increasing temperatures or to a different temperature dependence of the DLC mobility which is function of the distance from the Si/DLC interface. TCAD simulations are used to corroborate such assumptions.

Impact of Defect Engineering on High-Power Devices

    Processing of electrical power at megawatt to gigawatt level in the industry, traction, and transmission and distribution requires high-power devices with blocking capability up to 10 kV. The mainstream ones require high purity silicon wafers with the lowest possible defect content (contamination) and maximal homogeneity of resistivity and thickness. To satisfy current ratings in typical range 1 6 kA, single diode or thyristor may occupy nearly the whole 100 to 150 mm silicon wafer. Beside the doping profile optimization and gettering in the front-end processes, the devices are subject to defect engineering to adjust uniformly or locally the recombination lifetime of carriers. In IGBTs, it is also about dopant activation below 500 °C. Satisfaction of all extremal demands laid on those devices would not be possible without the knowledge developed by defect engineering community in the past decades. Some relevant industrial examples of screening the contamination in typical production of silicon high-power devices are demonstrated as well as the advanced defect engineering methods for increasing device functionality and power density.

  • Anotace:
    The diamond-like carbon (DLC) is important for passivation of junction termination in high power devices due to its excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. While the role of conductivity and polarization of the DLC layer on the blocking capability of a p-n junction has been explained recently, the thermal behavior still needs to be addressed. For this purpose, the diode leakage current was measured on large area power diodes with negative bevel coated by the DLC in a typical industrial range between 300 and 413 K. An unusual deviation from the expected Arrhenius law was experimentally observed. A predictive TCAD model, which incorporates the effect of the DLC layer, has been developed to study the impact of the DLC layer parameters on diode thermal performance. Both the electrostatic features and charge transport mechanisms through and along the DLC/Silicon interface have been modeled over a wide range of temperatures. Different DLC/Silicon doping combinations have been analyzed to explain the main effects determining the temperature dependence of diode leakage

Radiation Resistance of High-Voltage Silicon and 4H-SiC Power p-i-n Diodes

  • Anotace:
    The different effect of displacement damage produced by neutron irradiation on the static characteristics of 4.5-kV silicon and 4H silicon carbide (SiC) p-i-n power diodes is explained using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), C–V profiling, and open-circuit voltage decay (OCVD) measurements. The number of introduced defects in SiC is higher, also the degradation of carrier lifetime and carrier removal proceeds more swiftly in SiC than those in silicon. However, smaller dimensions and a higher doping level of the n-base of the SiC diode compensate for these negative effects. As a result, the SiC p-i-n diode exhibits substantially higher resistance to neutron irradiation at higher fluences when the diode loses its ON-state carrier modulation capability. SiC also shows a negligible effect of irradiation on leakage current due to the wider bandgap. One may assume a better reliability of SiC bipolar devices over the silicon in a high neutron radiation environment.

  • Anotace:
    An electroactive passivation for high-voltage diodes with bevel termination has been investigated based on diamondlike carbon (DLC) films. Variations of the DLC properties, i.e., conductivity and geometry, have been investigated by experiments and numerical simulations to the purpose of gaining an insight on their influence on the diode leakage current and breakdown voltage. The role played by the DLC/Si interface has been investigated by characterizing metal-DLC-Si devices. Both Boron and Nitrogen doping have been investigated and a TCAD setup has been provided accounting for the main transport features of the DLC material with different doping configurations. A significant polarization effect has been observed in the DLC material, which improves the DLC performance as a passivation material. High-voltage diodes have been characterized and simulated with different DLC layers on top of the bevel termination in order to identify the role played by conductivity and polarization on the blocking state. The correlation of leakage current and voltage breakdown with the DLC doping and thickness is provided and explained by the TCAD simulation results.

The Bidirectional Phase Control Thyristor

  • Anotace:
    The operational principle and design aspects of the bidirectional phase control thyristor (BiPCT) are presented. The BiPCT has been invented with the intention to replace the existing bidirectional control thyristor (BCT) by bringing the advantage of increased surge current, reduced thermal resistance, and reduced processing complexity (cost). This has been achieved by the interdigitation of the anode and cathode regions of both antiparallel connected thyristors, which newly occupy the whole silicon wafer. This requires a new approach to device design, where the most demanding task consists in retaining the commutation turn-off capability and achieving the technology curve between the ON-state voltage VT and the recovery charge Qrr as close to the single phase control thyristor (PCT) as possible. As a prerequisite of reliable operation of the new device concept, short commutation turn-off time of the BiPCT is demonstrated.

    Power devices are key to modern power systems, performing essential functions such as inverting and changing voltages, buffering, and switching. The increasing complexity of power systems, with distributed renewable generation on the rise, is posing challenges to these devices. In recent years, several new devices have emerged, including wide bandgap devices, each with advantages and weaknesses depending on circumstances and applications. With a device-centric approach, this book begins by introducing the present challenges in Power Electronics, emphasizing the relevance of this discipline in today's scenario, and pointing out the key parameters to pay attention to from the application-design perspective. The next nine chapters dig into details, covering junction diodes, thyristors, silicon MOSFETs, silicon IGBTs, IGCTs, SiC diodes, SiC MOSFETs, GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MIS-FETs), and GaN vertical transistors. A set of three chapters follow, covering key aspects from the designer's standpoint, namely module design and reliability, switching cell design, and IGBT gate-driving methods for robustness and reliability. A chapter outlining the prospects and outlooks in power electronics technology and its market concludes the book. This book addresses power device technology at the design level, by bridging the gap between semiconductor- and materials science, and power electronic applications. It provides key information for researchers working with power electronic devices and for power electronic application designers, and it is also a useful resource for academics and industrial researches working on power electronics at the system level, such as industrial machine designers and robot designers.

    The Bi-mode Gate Commutated Thyristor (BGCT) is a reverse conducting Gate Commutated Thyristor (GCT) where the diode regions are intertwined with GCT parts. In this work we examine the impact of shallow diode-anodes on the operation of the GCT and propose the introduction of optimised High Power Technology (HPT+) in the GCT part. In order to assess and compare the new designs with the conventional, a multi-cell mixed mode model for large area device modelling was used. The analysis of the simulation results show that the shallow diode does not affect the MCC whereas the introduction of the HPT+ allows for a step improvement.

Radiation Damage in 4H-SiC and Its Effect on Power Device Characteristics

Impact of Electron Irradiation on the ON-State Characteristics of a 4H–SiC JBS Diode

  • Anotace:
    The ON-state characteristics of a 1.7-kV 4H–SiC junction barrier Schottky diode were studied after 4.5-MeV electron irradiation. Irradiation doses were chosen to cause a light, strong, and full doping compensation of an epitaxial layer. The diodes were characterized using Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy, C–V(T), and I–V measurements without postirradiation annealing. The calibration of model parameters of a device simulator, which reflects the unique defect structure caused by the electron irradiation, was verified up to 2000 kGy. The quantitative agreement between simulation and measurement requires: 1) the Shockley–Read–Hall model with at least two deep levels on the contrary to ion irradiation and 2) a new model for enhanced mobility degradation due to radiation defects. The diode performance at high electron fluences is shown to be limited by the doping compensation at the epitaxial layer.

  • Pracoviště: Katedra mikroelektroniky
  • Anotace:
    Fast recovery p-i-n diode with anode p-n junction modified by the radiation-enhanced diffusion (RED) of gold is presented. The RED of gold is shown to provide the local lifetime control of excess carriers, the compensation of n-base doping profile from n-type to p-type, and the enhancement of concentration of two gold-related deep levels. The deep level Au−/0 (EC − 0.549 eV) controls the low-level lifetime, whereas the gold–hydrogen pair (EC − 0.215 eV) the high-level lifetime. This feature eliminates the drawback of negative temperature coefficient of forward voltage drop of the RED with palladium and platinum, where only a single deep level, which controls the high-level lifetime, is enhanced. The RED of gold provides the maximal reverse bias safe operation area at the annealing temperature of 600 °C, whereas the RED of palladium at 650 °C.

  • Anotace:
    4H silicon carbide Schottky diodes were irradiated by 550 keV protons with the aim to place the ion range into the low-doped n-type epitaxial layer. The diodes were characterized using DLTS, C–V profiling and forward I–V curves. Calibration procedure of model parameters for device simulation as been carried out. It is based on modeling the doping compensation of the n-type epitaxial layer caused by the deep acceptor levels resulting from radiation damage. It is shown that the agreement of simulated and measured forward I–V curves of proton irradiated diodes can be achieved, if the profiles of deep levels are calibrated with respect to irradiation dose, the degradation of electron mobility due to charged deep levels is accounted of and the Schottky barrier height is properly adjusted. The proposed methodology introduces a starting point for exact calibration of ion irradiated SiC unipolar devices.

Radiation defects were then characterized by capacitance deep-level transient spectroscopy and C-V measurements.

Effect of Ion Irradiation on Electrical Characteristics of 1200V SiC Schottky Diodes

  • Pracoviště: Katedra mikroelektroniky
  • Anotace:
    The effect of ion irradiation on electrical characteristics of SiC Schottky barrier power diodes was investigated. Diodes were irradiated from the anode side with 550 keV protons or 1.9 MeV alphas to place radiation defect maximum into the low doped epitaxial layer which formed the N-base of the diode. Radiation defects were then characterized by capacitance deep-level transient spectroscopy and their influence on diode static and dynamic characteristics was evaluated. Results show that low fluences of both proton and alpha particle irradiation have a negligible effect on dynamic and blocking characteristics of SiC power diodes. However, in contrast with silicon devices, the ON-state resistance of SiC diodes increases significantly already at very low fluences. This negative effect is given by high introduction rates of radiation defects in SiC due to the suppressed annihilation of primary damage.

    Fast recovery diodes, though an integral part of inverter design, have seldom received the same attention as the switching elements like IGBTs or IGCTs. As a result, Clamp, Neutral-Point Clamping and Free-Wheeling Diodes often have limited the optimal equipment design. Recognizing this, ABB has developed a new range of fast diodes offering enhanced Safe Operating Areas (SOA) and controlled (soft) recovery at very high di/dt and dv/dt levels.

Radiation Enhanced Diffusion of Nickel in Silicon Diodes

  • Anotace:
    High-power P-I-N diodes (2.5 kV, 150 A) with sputtered NiV and NiCr layers at anode were implanted by 10 MeV helium ions and subsequently annealed in the range 550 - 800 oC. The devices were characterized using XPS, DLTS and OCVD. Leakage current, forward voltage drop and reverse recovery measurements were measured as well. The Radiation Enhanced Diffusion (RED) of nickel was registered after 20 min. annealing between 675 and 725 oC. The evidence was provided by depth profiling (DLTS). The effect of the RED of nickel on device electrical parameters was evaluated. Contrary to the palladium, the RED of nickel is not sufficient for the local control of carrier lifetime in power devices.

    Power semiconductors are playing a leading role in the power electronics systems,. The most important concepts of today's high-power devices are Phase Controlled Thyristor (PCT), Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT), Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), and PiN diode. Silicon-based devices are still taking evolutionary steps to gradually increase the current and voltage ratings by utilizing the technologies well established in the IC industry. Beside the well-established Si technologies, the low-power devices are increasingly utilizing the technologies of SiC and GaN. They are already on the market and in rapidly increasing volumes, but they still occupy only certain areas with relatively lower line voltages and output currents, where increased cost is balanced out by increased application demands.

  • Anotace:
    Low-temperature diffusion of Cr, Mo, Ni, Pd, Pt, and V in silicon diodes is compared in the range 450 - 800 degC. The devices were characterized using AES, XPS, DLTS, OCVD carrier lifetime and diode electrical parameters. The metal atoms are divided into two groups. The Pt and Pd form deep levels in increased extent at the presence of radiation defects above 600 degC, which reduces the excess carrier lifetime. It is shown as a special case that the co-diffusion of Ni and V from a NiV surface layer results fully in the concentration enhancement of the V atoms. The enhancement of the acceptor level V-/0 (EC - 0.203 eV) and donor level V0/+ (EC - 0.442 eV) resembles the behavior of substitutional Pts. The second group is represented by the Mo and Cr. They easily form oxides, which can make their diffusion into a bulk more difficult or impossible. Only a slight enhancement of the Cr-related deep levels by the radiation defects has been found above 700 degC.

  • Anotace:
    High-power diodes with the radiation enhanced diffusion (RED) of Pd are shown to have much higher ruggedness during the reverse recovery compared to that of the Pt. Anode doping profiles measured by spreading resistance technique after a 10 MeV He implantation with subsequent annealing between 500 and 800 degC reveal different compensation effects between the Pd and Pt. The in-diffusing Pd converts the n-type background doping concentration of ND = 3 .1013 cm-3 in the position of radiation defects to that of a p-type with about one order higher concentration. The created low-doped p-layer significantly increases ruggedness of diodes during reverse recovery.

Local Lifetime Control in Silicon by Radiation Controlled Diffusion of Platinum

  • Pracoviště: Katedra mikroelektroniky
  • Anotace:
    Novel method of local lifetime control in silicon is presented. The method is based on shaping the concentration profile of substitutional palladium using low-temperature diffusion from palladium silicide stimulated by radiation defects from high-energy alpha-particle irradiation. For the first time, this process is shown functional in power devices in a wide range of annealing temperatures (450 - 725 oC). The maximal reduction of reverse recovery charge is found for low annealing temperatures (450 - 500 oC). The optimal diode electrical parameters (leakage current, reverse recovery charge, turn-off loss, dynamic avalanche charge) are found for the annealing temperature of 600 oC. The new method provides much higher thermal budget than the standard He irradiation.
