Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)

IDEAL Improved DLC Electrically Active Layer for high power bipolar silicon semiconductor|edge passivation.

Abstract (Deutsch)

The IDEAL project focuses on DLC (diamond like carbon) material used for high power silicon bipolar device|edge junction termination passivation. The performances of high power bipolar devices such as Thyristors and|diodes are not only determined by the semiconductor device characteristics, but are also strongly dependent|on the quality of the device edge passivation (device edge passivation influences the leaked current level, the|blocking capability and the stability and durability of the final devices). High end bipolar products produced by|ABB Semiconductors in its Lenzburg factory used DLC for edge passivation.|Improvement in the DLC production process has been recognized by ABB Semiconductors as a key factor in|order to increase the bipolar products quality in terms of device performance and reliability and also in terms of|production efficiency
