Novel 600 V low reverse recovery loss vertical PiN diode with hole pockets by Bosch deep trench

The performance of a novel diode with characteristic trench shape is predicted by TCAD simulation. A novel 600 V vertical PiN diode with hole pockets by the Bosch deep trench process is proposed for a better trade-off curve between reverse recovery loss and forward voltage. The reverse recovery loss is reduced to a half. In addition, the active chip size of the novel diode is reduced to two-thirds that of the conventional PiN diode in the same forward voltage. The novel diode structure is a strong candidate when the simple fabrication process under development is established.
