This paper presents a Finite Element, physics-based, punch-through, IGBT model, its SPICE implementation and a parameter extraction procedure. Developed model is based on solving Ambipolar Diffusion Equation (ADE) trough a variational formulation, resulting in a system of ODEs, from which charge carrier distribution is obtained. SPICE Model Implementation uses an electrical analogy for the resulting system of...
Extraction of parameters for models of power semiconductors is a need for researchers working with development of power circuits. One of the drawbacks of physics based models is how to extract the numerous parameters to describe the model. Different approaches have been taken, most of them cumbersome to be solved. This paper presents a simple and accurate method of parameter extraction for physics based IGBT mo...
The paper describes SPICE simulator implementation of a new, physics based, Finite Element Method (FEM) model for semiconductor simulation. The method is based on unidimensional approach that associates each zone of the semiconductor to a sub-circuit capable of implementation, in any general circuit simulator (such as SPICE), in a modular mode. After identification of these zones they are just modelled using ...
A physics based, Non-Punch-Through, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (NPT-IGBT) model is presented, as well as its porting into available circuit simulator SPICE. The developed model results in a system of ODEs, from which time/space hole/electron distribution is obtained, and is based on solution of ambipolar diffusion equation (ADE) trough a variational formulation, with posterior implementation using one-di...
