3.1 POWER MOSFET


A metal - oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a recent device developed
by combining the areas of field-effect concept and MOS technology.
A power MOSFET has three terminals called drain, source and gate. The circuit symbol of
power MOSFETis as shown below. Here arrow indicates the direction of electron flow. A
power MOSFET is a unipolar device.

MOSFET Static Characteristics
The static characteristics of power MOSFET are now described briefly. The basic circuit
diagram for n-channel power MOSFET is shown below, where voltages and currents are as
indicated.

This characteristics shows the variation of drain current ID as a function of gate source VGS.
Figure shows typical transfer characteristics for n-channel power MOSFET. It is seen that
there is threshold voltage VGST below which the device is off. The magnitude of VGST is the

Output Characteristics

Power MOSFET output characteristics shown in Figure indicate the variation of drain current
ID as a function drain - source voltage VDS as a parameter. For low values of VDS , the graph
between ID - VDS is almost linear. ; this indicates a constant value of on - resistance RDS =
VDS / ID . For given VGS, if VDS is increased, output characteristics is relatively flat indicating
that drain current is nearly constant.

3.2 INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR (IGBT)


IGBT is a new development in the area of power MOSFET technology. This device
combines into it the advantage of both MOSFET and BJT. So an IGBT has high input
impedance like a MOSFET and low-on-state power loss as in a BJT. Further, IGBT is free
from second breakdown problem present in BJT. IGBT is also known as metal-oxide
insulated gate transistor conductively - modulated field effect transistor (COMFET) or gain modulated FET (GEMFET). It was also initially called insulated gate transistor (IGT).
IGBT Characteristics
The circuit of Fig shows the various parameters pertaining to IGBT characteristics. Static V I or output characteristics of an IGBT (n-channel type) show the plot of collector current IC
versus collector emitter voltage VCE for various values of gate- emitter voltages. These
characteristics are shown in Fig. In the forward direction, the shape of the output
characteristics is similar to that of BJT. But here the controlling parameter is gate-emitter
voltage VGE because IGBT is a voltage controlled device.

Circuit diagram of IGBT


The transfer characteristic of an IGBT is a plot of collector current IC versus gate-emitter
voltage VGE as shown in Fig. This characteristic is identical to that of power MOSFET.
When VGE is less than the threshold voltage VGET, IGBT is in the off-state.
