Abstract

A novel concept for achieving high electrical withstand capability on a high power IGBT is discussed in this paper. It should be noted that high turn-off capability of 6600 amperes ( peak collector voltage=2500V, Tj=125°C) and the short circuit capability of over 50μsec (VCC=1600V, Tj=125°C) are successfully attained by a newly developed Power Pack IGBT. In this paper, the simulation results based upon the novel design concept are presented. Furthermore, experimental results are demonstrated to corroborate the simulation results.
