IGBT with bidirectional conduction
An IGBT device includes a drift region, a collector contact, an injector region, a pair of junction implants, a gate contact, and an emitter contact. The injector region includes a first surface in contact with the collector contact, a second surface opposite the first surface and in contact with the drift region, and at least one bypass region running between the first surface and the second surface. Notably, the at least one bypass region has a charge carrier that is different from that of the injector region. The pair of junction implants is in the drift region along a surface of the drift region opposite the injector region. The gate contact and the emitter contact are on the surface of the drift region opposite the injector region.
