  • Publication number: 20240030351
    Abstract: A production method includes providing field-effect transistors; irradiating the field-effect transistors; applying a current to drains of the field-effect transistors for a duration; and applying a same voltage to gates and sources of the field-effect transistors. The voltage is a grounding voltage or a reverse voltage. The field-effect transistors can be in a reverse biased state in a case of cut-off, and electron-hole pairs can be generated at an insulating oxide layer and at an interface between the insulating oxide layer and a semiconductor substrate.

  • Patent number: 9741837
    Abstract: A bidirectional IGBT device, including a cellular structure including: two MOS structures, a substrate drift layer, two highly doped buried layers operating for carrier storage or field stop, two metal electrodes, and isolating dielectrics. Each MOS structure includes: a body region, a heavily doped source region, a body contact region, and a gate structure. Each gate structure includes: a gate dielectric and a gate conductive material. The two MOS structures are symmetrically disposed on the top surface and the back surface of the substrate drift layer. The heavily doped source region and the body contact region are disposed in the body region and independent from each other, and both surfaces of the heavily doped source region and the body contact region are connected to each of the two metal electrodes. The gate dielectric separates the gate conductive material from a channel region of each of the MOS structures.
