A novel high performance carrier stored trench bipolar transistor(CSTBT) with a field- modified P-base region is proposed.Due to the p-pillars inserted into the drift region extending the P-base region to the bottom of the trench gate,the electric field around the trench gate is modified,preventing the CSTBT from breakdown in advance caused by a concentration of the electric field at the edge of the trench gate.The p-pillars under the p-well forming the novel P-base region also provide extra paths for hole transportation.Thus,the switching time is also reduced.Simulation results have shown that the blocking voltage(BV) of the novel CSTBT is almost 430 V higher exhibiting avalanche breakdown properties compared with the conventional CSTBT.Moreover,the turn-off time of the novel structure is 0.3μs(17%) shorter than the conventional CSTBT with the same gate length.
