Description

Semiconductor device and inverter circuit with this semiconductor device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the semiconductor device that a kind of utilization is formed on insulated gate transistor in the common semiconductor substrate and antiparallel diode structure.
Background technology
For example, at the US 2005/0258493 of the open No.2005-317751 corresponding to Japan Patent, disclosed in corresponding to the US 2007/0108468 of the open No.2007-134625 of Japan Patent and US 2007/0170549 and utilized the insulated gate transistor that is formed in the common semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor device of antiparallel diode structure corresponding to the open No.2007-214541 of Japan Patent.
Figure 19 shows disclosed semiconductor device 100 in US 2007/0170549.
In semiconductor device 100, in common semiconductor substrate 1, form insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) unit 100i and diode 100d.
In the first groove T1, form first electrode layer of making by polysilicon 8 by dielectric film 7.First electrode layer 8 is as the gate electrode of IGBT unit 100i.On first side of Semiconductor substrate 1, form the second electrode lay 10 made of aluminum.Utilize the second electrode lay 10 to fill the second groove T2.The second electrode lay 10 penetrates the first side N type district 3a and the first side p type island region 4a, thereby can make the first side N type district 3a and the first side p type island region 4a electric coupling.In addition, the second electrode lay 10 is electrically coupled to P type layer 2a.The second electrode lay 10 is as the emitter electrode of IGBT unit 100i and the anode electrode of diode 100d.The second side P+ type district 5 and the second side N+ type district 6 are formed on the surface portion of second side of Semiconductor substrate 1.Third electrode floor 11 is formed on second side of Semiconductor substrate 1 and it is electrically coupled in the second side P+ type district 5 and the second side N+ type district 6 each.Thus, make the second side P+ type district 5 and second side N+ type district's 6 electric coupling by third electrode floor 11.Third electrode layer 11 is as the collector electrode of IGBT unit 100i and the cathode electrode of diode 100d.
That is to say, in semiconductor device 100, insulated gate transistor and diode-coupled are in the same place with anti-parallel arrangement.Be coupled at the first terminal (for example collector electrode) and the negative electrode of diode of hot side, be coupled at second terminal (for example emitter) and the anode of diode of low potential side with insulated gate transistor with insulated gate transistor.Semiconductor device as semiconductor device 100 is integrated in the inverter circuit usually to control electric loading by pulse width modulation (PWM) technology.
Usually, when the semiconductor device that uses in inverter circuit as semiconductor device 100, the gating signal gating signal with the IGBT that is applied to the inverter circuit Lower Half on phase place of IGBT that is applied to the inverter circuit first half is opposite.Therefore, even during the diode continuousing flow work of being coupled to IGBT with anti-parallel arrangement (freewheel operation), also gating signal can be applied to IGBT.That is, having a period of time IGBT and diode works simultaneously.As mentioned above, in semiconductor device 100, the collector electrode of IGBT and the negative electrode of diode are coupled, and the anode of the emitter of IGBT and diode is coupled.Therefore, when the IGBT conducting, the negative electrode of diode attempts to be in identical current potential with anode.As a result, the forward bias of diode raises, so the forward loss of diode increases.In this way, in semiconductor device shown in Figure 19 100,, and may increase the forward loss of diode because IGBT and diode are interfering with each other.
The inventor after deliberation semiconductor device 90 shown in Figure 20 (Japanese patent application No.2007-229959).Semiconductor device 90 is configured to avoid interference between IGBT and the diode, thereby can prevents the increase of diode forward loss.
As shown in figure 20, semiconductor device 90 comprises and circuit 50, the IGBT20 with diode-built-in, sense resistor 30 and feedback circuit 40.
With circuit 50 is a kind ofly only just to produce the gate that high level is exported when all be high level in all inputs.The PWM gating signal that will be used to drive IGBT 20 is input to and circuit 50 from external circuit.In addition, the output with feedback circuit 40 is input to and circuit 50.
IGBT 20 comprises IGBT part 21 and diode section 22.IGBT part 21 and diode section 22 are formed in the common semiconductor substrate.IGBT part 21 comprises the main IGBT 21a that is coupled to electric loading and is used to detect the auxiliary IGBT 21b of electric current of main IGBT 21a of flowing through.Be applied to the voltage of the grid of IGBT 21a, 21b by PWM gating signal control with circuit 50 outputs.The emitter-coupled of auxiliary IGBT 21b is to first end of sense resistor 30, and the voltage drop Vs at sense resistor 30 two ends is fed back to feedback circuit 40.Diode section 22 is configured to the load current of transform stream through IGBT21a.Diode section 22 comprises the main diode 22a that is coupled to main IGBT 21a and is used to detect the booster diode 22b of electric current of main diode 22a of flowing through.The anode of booster diode 22b is coupled to first end of sense resistor 30.
Feedback circuit 40 has judged whether the electric current main diode 22a that flows through, and has also judged whether the overcurrent IGBT 21a that flows through.Based on the result who judges, feedback circuit 40 allow or forbid the PWM gating signal by with circuit 50.Particularly, when driving main IGBT 21a, feedback circuit 40 to circuit 50 outputs allow the PWM gating signals by with the signal of circuit 50.Yet, if the voltage drop Vs at sense resistor 30 two ends less than diode current detection threshold Vth1 or greater than overcurrent detection threshold Vth2, feedback circuit 40 to circuit 50 output forbid the PWM gating signal by with the signal of circuit 50.
Thus, in semiconductor device shown in Figure 20 90, main diode 22a can not disturb main IGBT 21a along the positive orientation guide electric current.Therefore, avoid the increase of the forward voltage of main diode 22a, therefore can prevent the increase of the forward loss of main diode 22a.
In addition, if the overcurrent main IGBT 21a that flows through is arranged, feedback circuit 40 to circuit 50 outputs forbid the PWM gating signal by with the signal of circuit 50.Thus, can protect IGBT 21a not to be subjected to the influence of overcurrent.
