Method of making a insulated gate bipolar transistor with high-energy P+ implant and silicon-etch contact

摘要

An improved insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) device structure and a method for fabricating such a device. This structure uses self-aligned and substantially undiffused successive N+ and P+ implants. The P+ implant is at high energy, which forms a subsurface P+ region below the entire bottom of an N+ "source" region of the IGBT. This low resistivity region suppresses thyristor latch-up when contacted via a surface trench. Self-aligned techniques provide method and product improvements.
