Problems solved by technology

[0016] However, in Figure 29-34 In the trench IGBT shown in and the trench IGBT and IEGT disclosed in the above references, the breakdown voltage may be low
Alternatively, due to the hard switching nature of these devices, electromagnetic noise can easily be generated in the device
The reason why it is difficult to increase the breakdown voltage in IGBTs and IEGTs is that the electric field distribution in the silicon substrate is not uniform when the device is off (i.e. when no voltage is applied to the device)
As a result, the electric field is concentrated at the bottom of the trench gate, making it possible for the device to break down at voltages below the specification breakdown voltage

Abstract

The invention discloses a semiconductor device with an insulated gate semiconductor component and an insulated gate bipolar transistor. A semiconductor device having an IGBT includes: a substrate; a drift layer and a base layer on the substrate; trenches penetrating the base layer to divide the base layer into base parts; an emitter region in one base part; a gate element in the trenches; an emitter electrode; and a collector electrode. The one base part provides a channel layer, and another base part provides a float layer having no emitter region. The gate element includes a gate electrode next to the channel layer and a dummy gate electrode next to the float layer. The float layer includes a first float layer adjacent to the channel layer and a second float layer apart from the channel layer. The dummy gate electrode and the first float layer are coupled with a first float wiring on the base layer. The dummy gate electrode is isolated from the second float layer.

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having an insulated gate semiconductor element and an insulated gate bipolar transistor. Background technique [0002] Insulated gate semiconductor devices such as trench gate type transistors and IGBTs serve as high breakdown voltage insulated gate semiconductor devices having a trench gate structure. Figure 17 with 18 The IGBT disclosed in JP-A-2006-49455 is shown. Each IGBT includes an N + type emitter region 101 . A dummy trench 103 is formed in a region other than the emitter region 101 . Thus, a plurality of grooves are uniformly formed. Specifically, the emitter region 101 is not formed in the entire base region 102 but is formed in a part of the base region 102 . A trench 105 is formed in a portion of the base region 102 . A gate electrode 104 is formed in the trench 105 so that a gate voltage is applied to the gate electrode 104 . The emitter region 102 is not formed in another pa...
