の逆起電力サージが特に問題となっている。Currently, insulated gate field effect transistors (hereinafter referred to as power MOSFETs) for power use are used as coil loads in motors, actuators, relays, etc. due to their high speed,1, and resistance to thermal runaway. In particular, compared to bipolar transistors, power MOSFETs that operate with majority carriers have an increased on-resistance when they generate heat, and because they reduce drain current, it is difficult for heat to concentrate on a part of the chip, making it difficult for thermal runaway to occur. However, power MOS
FETs are less prone to thermal runaway because they operate as majority carriers when they are on, but the back electromotive force surge in the coil that occurs when the FET is turned off due to a coil load is particularly problematic.

る。) When the power MOSFET, which was initially on, turns off due to toff, a back electromotive force is generated in the coil L, and the drain-source voltage D3 rises rapidly, reaching the drain-source breakdown voltage BVDS, and the energy stored in the coil. begins to discharge. This discharge occurs due to the breakdown current between the drain and the source, but since a parasitic transistor Tr is created in the structure of the NOWER MO3FET, the drain and source
The source-to-source breakdown current also flows to the parasitic transistor Tr. This current increases the base potential of the parasitic transistor Tr, causing so-called latchback, leading to thermal runaway.
これを防止するため、ドレイン・ソース間にツェナーダ
イオードを入れて放電電流をこのツェナーダイオードに
流すことが行なわれている。To prevent this, a Zener diode is inserted between the drain and source, and a discharge current is passed through the Zener diode.

を流すことが行なわれている。Furthermore, in a bipolar transistor, a Zener diode is inserted between the base and drain to cause the Zener to break down and allow a base current to flow, thereby turning on the transistor and causing a discharge current to flow.

あり、必然的に大面積になるという欠点がある。In the above-mentioned conventional power MOSFET, a Zener diode is inserted between the drain and source to prevent the parasitic transistor from latchback, and the discharge current of the coil is caused to flow. This Zener diode has the disadvantage that even if a large discharge current flows through it, the operating resistance at breakdown must be lowered so as not to exceed the breakdown voltage of the parasitic transistor in the main body, which inevitably results in a large area.
