Abstract

Proton irradiation technology was used for improvement of switching characteristics of the PT-IGBT. The proton irradiation was carried out at 5.56 MeV energy from the back side of processed wafers and at 2.39 MeV energy from the front side of the wafers. The on-state and off-state I-V characteristics and switching properties of the device were analyzed and compared with those of un-irradiated device and e-beam irradiated device which was conventional method for minority carrier lifetime reduction. The proton irradiated device by 5.56 MeV energy was superior to e-beam irradiated device for the on-state and off-state I-V characteristics, nevertheless turn-off time of proton irradiated device was superior to that of the e-beam irradiated device.
