In this paper the transient substrate current during switching under a
n inductive load of a lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor on a s
ilicon-on-insulator film (SOI-LIGBT) was investigated numerically and
experimentally. Substrate currents at the turn-on and turn-off transie
nts of the device were determined, and their behavior analyzed by nume
rical results of the carrier and potential distribution in the device.
