Semiconductor Power Devices
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-70916-1 (ISBN)
This book discusses semiconductor properties, pn-junctions and the physical phenomena for understanding power devices in depth. Working principles of state-of-the-art power diodes, thyristors, MOSFETs and IGBTs are explained in detail, as well as key aspects of semiconductor device production technology. Special peculiarities of devices from the ascending semiconductor materials SiC and GaN are discussed.
This book presents significant improvements compared to its first edition. It includes chapters on packaging and reliability. The chapter on semiconductor technology is written in a more in-depth way by considering 2D- and high concentration effects. The chapter on IGBTs is extended by new technologies and evaluation of its potential. An extended theory of cosmic ray failures is presented. The range of certain important physical relationships, doubted in recent papers for use in device simulation, is cleared and substantiated in this second edition.
Josef Lutz studied Physics at the University of Stuttgart. He invented the Controlled Axial Lifetime (CAL) diode and holds several patents. In 1999 he graduated as Ph.D in electrical engineering at the University of Ilmenau. Since August 2001 he is a Professor for Power Electronics and Electromagnetic Compatibility at TU Chemnitz, Germany. He is the consulting Director of the PCIM, member of four international Program Committees and member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Microelectronics Reliability. He was awarded with the degree of Honorable Professor by the North Caucasus State University Stavropol, Russia, in 2005. Heinrich Schlangenotto received the Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics at the University of Münster. In 1966 he joined the Research Institute of AEG-Telefunken in Frankfurt which in 1988 passes to Daimler-Benz. Working on the physics underlying the operation modes of semiconductor power devices, he improved the description of forward conduction based on a new insight in the spatial distribution of recombination. Investigating the injection and temperature dependence of radiative recombination, which is used in analysing device operation, he finds an important participation of excitons even near room temperature. To improve the dynamic behaviour of rectifier diodes he invented the fast, soft recovery SPEED-diode. He gave the first quantitative description of the dynamical avalanche mechanism limiting fast switching. From 1991 to 2001 he held a lecture on power devices at the TU Darmstadt, Germany.
