Popis: The continued shrinking of IGBT chips calls for new design approaches to ensure reliable and stable switching operation during the chip lifetime. We demonstrate a new asymmetric gate oxide concept with a designed variable thickness that leads to stable long-term operation in trench IGBTs and reduces the switching delay and the gate charge without sacrificing electrical performance. These claims are supported by longer-term repetitive switching experiments as well as TCAD simulations on a calibrated model.
