Popis: Different state-of-the-art buffer concepts compatible with ≥ 200 mm diameter, thin wafer technology ( $ ) have been optimized in enhanced planar insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) technology for 1200 V and 1700 V, 150 A rated, 13.6 x 13.6 mm2 devices and evaluated with the goal of reducing leakage currents to enable a stable operation up to $\mathbf{T}_{\mathbf{j}}=200\ {{}^{\circ}\mathbf{C}}$ . With the maximum punch through (MPT) ultra-thin field stop design in particular, we can produce devices with the lowest leakage currents up to $\mathbf{T}_{\mathbf{j}}=200\ {{}^{\circ}\mathbf{C}}$ . These devices were found to provide rugged RBSOA and soft switching, can withstand short circuit pulses as long as $10 \ \boldsymbol{\mu}\mathbf{s}$ and be thermally stable at $\mathbf{T}_{\mathbf{j}}=200\ {{}^{\circ}\mathbf{C}}$ .
