Abstract

Localized lifetime control in silicon bipolar devices is presented and discussed. It was achieved by formation of a void layer by He ion implantation. The void formation is reviewed and the void properties are described and carefully considered. Simulations demonstrate the advantages of using localized lifetime control, while the innovative method is applied to fabrication of high speed Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors.
