Insulated gate bipolar transistors including current suppressing layers
An insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) includes a first conductivity type substrate and a second conductivity type drift layer on the substrate. The second conductivity type is opposite the first conductivity type. The IGBT further includes a current suppressing layer on the drift layer. The current suppressing layer has the second conductivity type and has a doping concentration that is larger than a doping concentration of the drift layer. A first conductivity type well region is in the current suppressing layer. The well region has a junction depth that is less than a thickness of the current suppressing layer, and the current suppressing layer extends laterally beneath the well region. A second conductivity type emitter region is in the well region.
