Abstract:
We herein describe a semiconductor device comprising a first element portion formed on a substrate, the first element portion being an operating region of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and a second element portion formed on the substrate, the second element portion being an operating region of a diode. The first element portion comprises a first collector region of a second conductivity type, a drift region of a first conductivity type located over the first collector region, and formed by the semiconductor substrate, a first body region of a first conductivity type located over the drift region, a second body region of a second conductivity type located over the drift region, at least one first contact region of a first conductivity type located above the second body region and having a higher doping concentration compared to the first body region, at least one second contact region of a second conductivity type located laterally adjacent to the at least one first contact region, the at least one second contact region having a higher doping concentration than the second body region, a first plurality of trenches extending from a surface through the second body region of a second conductivity type into the drift region wherein the at least one first contact region adjoins at least one of the plurality of trenches so that, in use, a channel region is formed along said at least one trench of the first plurality of trenches and within the body region of a second conductivity type. A first trench of the first plurality of trenches is laterally spaced from a second trench of the first plurality of trenches by a first distance. The second element portion comprises a second collector region of a second conductivity type, the drift region of a first conductivity type located over the second collector region, a third body region of a second conductivity type located over the drift region, a second plurality of trenches extending from a surface through the third body region into the drift region. A first trench of the second plurality of trenches is laterally spaced from a second trench of the second plurality of trenches by a second distance, and the first distance is larger than the second distance. The semiconductor device further comprises a first terminal contact, wherein the first terminal contact is electrically connected to the at least one first contact region of a first conductivity type and the body region of a second conductivity type and a second terminal contact, wherein the second terminal contact is electrically connected to the first collector region and the second collector region.
