Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A manufacturing method for reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor, the manufacturing method is characterized by the use of polysilicon for filling in grooves on the back of a reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor. The parameters of reverse conducting diodes on the back of the reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor can be controlled simply by controlling the doping concentration of the polysilicon accurately, indicating relatively low requirements for process control. The reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor manufacturing method is relatively low in requirements for process control and relatively small in manufacturing difficulty.

First claim
