Abstract

Provided is a lateral insulated-gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT), comprising a substrate ( 10 ), an anode terminal and a cathode terminal on the substrate ( 10 ), and a drift region ( 30 ) and a gate ( 61 ) located between the anode terminal and the cathode terminal. The anode terminal comprises a P-type buried layer ( 52 ) on the substrate ( 10 ), an N-type buffer region ( 54 ) on the P-type buried layer ( 52 ), and a P+ collector region ( 56 ) on the surface of the N-type buffer region ( 54 ). The LIGBT further comprises a trench gate adjacent to the anode terminal, wherein the trench gate penetrates from the surfaces of the N-type buffer region ( 54 ) and the P+ collector region ( 56 ) to the P-type buried layer ( 52 ), and the trench gate comprises an oxidation layer ( 51 ) on the inner surface of a trench and polysilicon ( 53 ) filled into the oxidation layer.
