Abstract: An insulated gate turn-off thyristor has a layered structure including a p+ layer (e.g., a substrate), an n-epi layer, a p-well, vertical insulated gate regions formed in the p-well, and an n? layer over the p-well and between the gate regions, so that vertical npn and pnp transistors are formed. After forming the p-well, boron ions are implanted into the exposed surface of the p-well to form a p+ region. The n-epi layer is then grown over the p-well and the p+ region, and the boron in the p+ region is diffused upward into the n-epi layer and downward to form an intermediate p+ region. The p-well's highly doped intermediate region enables improvement in the npn transistor efficiency as well as enabling more independent control over the characteristics of the n-type layer (emitter) and the overall dopant concentration and thickness of the p-type base to optimize the thyristor's performance.

Abstract: A semiconductor wafer forms on a mold containing a dopant. The dopant dopes a melt region adjacent the mold. There, dopant concentration is higher than in the melt bulk. A wafer starts solidifying. Dopant diffuses poorly in solid semiconductor. After a wafer starts solidifying, dopant can not enter the melt. Afterwards, the concentration of dopant in the melt adjacent the wafer surface is less than what was present where the wafer began to form. New wafer regions grow from a melt region whose dopant concentration lessens over time. This establishes a dopant gradient in the wafer, with higher concentration adjacent the mold. The gradient can be tailored. A gradient gives rise to a field that can function as a drift or back surface field. Solar collectors can have open grid conductors and better optical reflectors on the back surface, made possible by the intrinsic back surface field.
