Abstract
A new SALIGBT with dual gate and p+ injector, entitled DG-SALIGBT, is proposed and fabricated in order to eliminate the negative differential resistance (NDR) regime, which is the inherent characteristics of SALIGBT, by modulating the drift region conductivity gradually. The experimental results show that the NDR regime is eliminated completely and the forward voltage drop is reduced considerably in the DG-SALIGBT when compared with the conventional SALIGBT without sacrificing the switching speed. We have analyzed the device operation mechanism such as hole injection phenomena by using the 2-dimensional numerical simulation.
