Young-chull Kim has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7645659
    Abstract: Provided are a power semiconductor device using a silicon substrate as a FS layer and a method of manufacturing the same. A semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type is prepared. An epitaxial layer is grown on one surface of the semiconductor substrate. Here, the epitaxial layer is doped at a concentration lower than that of the semiconductor substrate and is intended to be used as a drift region. A base region of a second conductivity type is formed in a predetermined region of the epitaxial layer. An emitter region of the first conductivity type is formed in a predetermined region of the base region. A gate electrode with a gate insulating layer is formed on the base region between the emitter region and the drift region of the epitaxial layer. A rear surface of the semiconductor substrate is ground to reduce the thickness of the semiconductor substrate, thereby setting an FS region of the first conductivity type.

  • Publication number: 20030057478
    Abstract: A MOS-gated power semiconductor device is described. The MOS-gated power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate that is heavily doped with impurities of a first conductivity type and used as a collector region, a drift region lightly doped with impurities of a second conductivity type on the substrate, a gate insulating layer on the drift region having a center thicker than its edges, a gate electrode on the gate insulating layer, a well region that is lightly doped with impurities of a first conductivity type on the drift region and that has a channel region overlapping a portion of the gate electrode, an emitter region that is heavily doped with impurities of a second conductivity type and that contacts the channel region, an emitter electrode electrically connected to the emitter region and isolated from the gate electrode, and a collector electrode electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate.
