수평 구조의 MOS-Controlled Thyristor에서 채널에서의 길이 및 불순물 농도에 의한 스위칭 특성

Abstract

The switching characteristics of MOS-Controlled Thyristor(MCT) is studied with variation of the channel length and impurity concentration in ON and OFF FET channel. The proposed MCT power device has the lateral structure and P-epitaxial layer in substrate. Two dimensional MEDICI simulator and PSPICE simulator are used to study the latch-up current and forward voltage-drop from the characteristics of I-V and the switching characteristics with variation of channel length and impurity concentration in P and N channel. The channel length and N impurity concentration of the proposed MCT power device show the strong affect on the transient characteristics of current and power. The N channel length affects only on the OFF characteristics of power and anode current, while the N doping concentration in P channel affects on the ON and OFF characteristics.
