摘要：

动态雪崩问题是影响高压硅功率二极管如高压快恢复二极管(FRD)坚固性的一个主要因素。文中通过仿真计算,比较了高压FRD两种不同终端结构的动态雪崩特性。结果表明,横向变掺杂²(VLD)终端结构的动态雪崩耐量比结终端延伸(JTE)结构更优。为改善后者动态雪崩过程中结终端处的电流丝化问题,文中提出改用P⁺/P阳极结构中的P型缓冲层做介于有源区与终端区之间的电阻区。仿真结果表明,相应的电流丝化问题可得到显著缓解。

Abstract:

Dynamic avalanche is a major factor which affects the ruggedness of high-voltage silicon power bipolar devices,e.g.the high-voltage fast recovery diode (FRD).In this paper,a simulation to compare the dynamic avalanche characteristics of two high-voltage FRDs with different edge terminations is presented.Simulation results show that a high-voltage FRD with VLD (variation of lateral doping) structure has better dynamic avalanche immunity than that with JTE (junction termination extension).A new structure for the FRD with JTE to alleviate the current filament at the edge termination during dynamic avalanche is proposed and its effectiveness is simulated and demonstrated.In this structure the resistance area is created by the P buffer area of the P⁺/P anode.Simulation results show that the current filament can be well alleviated.

Key words: FRD;dynamic avalanche;current filament;terminations
