The positive improved effects of this invention are: the diffusion coefficient of doped impurities in the P-type region of the IGBT of the present invention is greater than the diffusion coefficient of boron ions, unlike the prior art that uses boron ions as doping impurities, so that the impurity distribution morphology formed under the same conditions is more gradual, that is, the formed PN junction is a gradual junction, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage, shortening the turn-off time, improving the anti-latch-up ability, and further improving the performance of the IGBT. In addition, due to the large impurity diffusion coefficient of the present invention, a wider and deeper PN junction can be formed at a lower temperature and in a shorter time, which has certain cost advantages.

In addition, the first ions and the second ions can be doped with each other, or distributed in different layers according to specific applications. The doping concentration and depth of the second ions can also be customized according to specific applications.
In this embodiment, the diffusion coefficient of the first ions and the second ions doped in the target region of the IGBT are both not less than the diffusion coefficient of boron ions, unlike the prior art that uses boron ions as doping impurities, so that the impurity distribution morphology formed under the same conditions is more gradual, that is, the formed PN junction is a gradual junction, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage, shortening the turn-off time, improving the anti-latch-up ability, and further improving the performance of the IGBT. In addition, due to the large impurity diffusion coefficient of the present invention, a wider and deeper PN junction can be formed at a lower temperature and in a shorter time, which has certain cost advantages.
