IGBT History, State-of-the-Art, and Future Prospects
Noriyuki Iwamuro,Thomas Laska +1 more
TL;DR: An overview on the history of the development of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) as one key component in today's power electronic systems is given; the state-of-the-art device concepts are explained as well as an detailed outlook about ongoing and foreseeable development steps is shown as discussed by the authors.

Insulated gate thyristor
TL;DR: An insulated gate thyristor as mentioned in this paper includes a gate electrode formed through an insulating film on the first second-conductivity-type base region, an exposed portion of the first-conductivities-type source region, a first main electrode that contacts both the second secondconductivity type base layer and first-condivities-based emitter layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical analysis of short-circuit safe operating area for p-channel and n-channel IGBTs
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms of destructive failure of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) at short-circuit state are discussed and results from two-dimensional numerical simulation of p-channel and n-channel IGBTs are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new vertical IGBT structure with a monolithic over-current, over-voltage, and over-temperature sensing and protecting circuit
TL;DR: In this paper, a new 600 V vertical IGBT structure with monolithically integrated over-current, over-voltage, and over-temperature sensing and protecting functions has been developed to exploit an extremely excellent trade-off characteristic between an on-state voltage drop and turn-off time for the first time.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A new IGBT with a monolithic over-current protection circuit
TL;DR: In this paper, a new IGBT structure with a monolithic overcurrent sensing and protection circuit has been developed, which can be applied to not only a soft switching application like voltage resonant circuit but also a hard switching application such as snubberless inductive load circuit.
