Abstract

Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is widely used in various renewable green energy systems such as wind power generation and solar power generation at present. High-power IGBT modules usually include IGBT chips and anti-parallel diodes, and the transient characteristics of anti-parallel diodes will affect the external port characteristics of IGBT modules. Based on semiconductor physics and diode basic structure, this paper analyzes four stages of diode reverse recovery process, and describes the change process of turn-off time and stored charge by a step recovery process. Finally, the voltage and current waveforms of diode reverse recovery process are simulated and verified for a certain IGBT module.
