Abstract

We studied different destruction modes of planar cell 1200V "Non-Punch-Through" and "Fieldstop" Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors in Forward Blocking Mode using simulation tools. Branches of negative differential resistance are explained with certain device properties and a dynamic distortion of the electric field. Careful design of the device avoid these regions which may lead to current concentration and finally device destruction.
