| 20080251810 | TRENCHED SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - An IGBT is disclosed which has a set of inside trenches and an outside trench formed in its semiconductor substrate. The substrate has emitter regions adjacent the trenches, a p-type base region adjacent the emitter regions and trenches, and an n-type base region comprising a first and a second subregion contiguous to each other. The first subregion of the n-type base region is contiguous to the inside trenches whereas the second subregion, less in impurity concentration than the first, is disposed adjacent the outside trench. Breakdown is easier to occur than heretofore adjacent the inside trenches, saving the device from destruction through mitigation of a concentrated current flow adjacent the outside trench. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090140289 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - Each of first base regions of sequentially layered first IGBT and second IGBT has a peripheral section in the vicinity of the side face of the semiconductor substrate. Each of the IGBTs includes a P-type peripheral base region that is adjacent to the peripheral section of the first base region of the N-type to form a diode and a diode electrode that is formed on an upper face of the peripheral section of the first base region, thereby electrically connecting the diode electrode and a collector electrode of each of the IGBTs. When the semiconductor device is ON, current flows at the center side of the semiconductor substrate separated from the side face. When current in a reverse direction is generated when the semiconductor device is OFF, current in a reverse direction flows in the vicinity of the side face of the semiconductor substrate. | 06-04-2009 |
