Abstract
There are disclosed herein various implementations of a bipolar semiconductor device having localized enhancement regions. Such a bipolar semiconductor device includes a drift region having a first conductivity type situated over an anode layer having a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type. The bipolar semiconductor device also includes a first control trench extending through an inversion region having the second conductivity type, and further extending into the drift region, the first control trench being adjacent to cathode diffusions. In addition, the bipolar semiconductor device includes first and second depletion trenches, each having a depletion electrode, the first depletion trench being situated between the second depletion trench and the first control trench. An enhancement region having the first conductivity type is localized in the drift region between the first and second depletion trenches. In one implementation, the bipolar semiconductor device may be an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT).
