Abstract

This paper presents a methodology to optimize the design of different types of IGBT using TWB (TMA WorkBench). Using RSM (Response Surface Modeling) and DOE (Design of Experiment) in TWB we have developed a methodology, which can be applied to explore the impact of design modifications on the speed improvement and study the trade-off between speed, on-resistance, and breakdown voltage of IGBT. This method is a rapid and cost-effective approach for studying design alternatives. Two-dimensional simulations were used to determine the influence of technology and design parameter on device characteristics.
