Fast Recovery High-Power P-i-N Diode with Heavily Shorted Cathode for Enhanced Ruggedness in the Circuits with IGCTs
Original language description
We experimentally demonstrate that soft recovery of large area 4.5 kV Fast Recovery Diode (FRD) processed at thinner silicon can be achieved down to low temperature, if more than 50% cathode area is covered by shorts. The heavily shorted diode outperforms the classical one in the softness at DC link voltages well above the standard VDC = 2.8 kV even with wafer thickness reduced by 15%. Parameter optimization results in the device with improved technology curve at T = 25 °C, comparable technology curve at T = 140 °C and unbeatable softness up to VDC = 3.6 kV. Excellent switching ruggedness is shown for the worst case of high electron irradiation dose (the lowest Erec), T = 25 °C and stray inductance of LS= 600 nH.
