Abstract

A new, fully integrable insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with a trench gate structure, called the three-dimensional insulated gate bipolar transistor (3D-IGBT), is described. The 3D-IGBT utilizes selective epitaxial silicon to form a top contacted anode and still retain the cellular structure of vertically oriented devices. The 3D-IGBT is fabricated using a self-aligned process that permits an increase in its channel density by reducing the trench width. Two-dimensional computer simulations of the 3D-IGBT with a unit cell width of 15 microns have been performed and show an increase in channel density by a factor of more than 8 over the lateral IGBT.
