PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability of semiconductor devices by enhancing stability of current density to prevent current concentration, oscillation and the like. SOLUTION: The driving device for semiconductor devices improves reliability of the semiconductor devices in the following way. In turning off mutually parallel-connected insulated-gate bipolar semiconductor devices, voltage of each control electrode is reduced down to threshold voltage Vth or lower of each bipolar semiconductor devices before the voltage between main electrodes rises 1/5 or higher of the applied voltage Vcc in the off state. By stopping injection of electrons before the rise of the voltage between main electrodes, stability of the current density is enhanced, preventing current concentration, oscillation and the like.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device for an electric power in which an element breakdown voltage is sufficiently high and an on-state resistance is sufficiently low. SOLUTION: A power MOSFET includes a drain electrode 1 formed along a substrate surface, an n + drain layer 2 formed on the drain electrode 1, a drift layer 3 of super junction structure formed on the n + drain layer 2, a p base layer 4 selectively formed in the part on the drift layer 3, an n + source layer 5 formed selectively on the p base layer 4, a source electrode 6 formed on the p base layer 4 and the n + source layer 5, a drift layer 3, a source electrode 6 formed on the p base layer 4 and the n + source layer 5, a drift layer 3, a gate electrode 8 arranged adjacently to the p base layer 4 and the n + source layer 5 through a gate insulating film 7, and a depletion layer shielding part 9 formed in the end of the drift layer 3 to prevent the widening of the depletion layer. When the drift layer 3 is formed, since the substrate flattening is performed so that the p-type epitaxial growth layer 23 may remain on the substrate front surface, the drift layer 3 does not become thin too much, and there is no possibility that the breakdown voltage may become low.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a circuit and a method for driving a gate of a power MOSFET wherein gate driving loss is reduced with an increase in frequency, a gate current can be varied to a desired value, and malfunctions can be prevented. SOLUTION: Bridges are constructed of switches SW1 to SW4 and diodes SBD1 to SBD4. An inductance element L1 for storage of energy is connected between the junction point between the switches SW1 and SW2 and the junction point between the switches SW3 and SW4. The switches SW1 to SW4 are controlled by a switching control circuit SWC for driving a MOSFET M1. When the MOSFET M1 is turned on, driving loss is reduced by taking the following procedure: with the switch SW4 kept on, the switch SW1 is turned on to pass a current through the inductance element L1 to store energy there. When the current reaches a predetermined value, the switch SW4 is turned off and the gate voltage of the MOSFET M1 is increased with the stored energy. The switch SW3 is turned on, and then the switch SW1 is turned off to regenerate energy. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
