A high-current, N-type silicon-on-insulator lateral insulated-gate bipolar transistor, including: a P-type substrate, a buried-oxide layer disposed on the P-type substrate, an N-type epitaxial layer disposed on the oxide layer, and an N-type buffer trap region. A P-type body region and an N-type central buffer trap region are disposed inside the N-type epitaxial layer; a P-type drain region is disposed in the buffer trap region; N-type source regions and a P-type body contact region are disposed in the P-type body region; an N-type base region and a P-type emitter region are disposed in the buffer trap region; gate and field oxide layers are disposed on the N-type epitaxial layer; polycrystalline silicon gates are disposed on the gate oxide layers; and a passivation layer and metal layers are disposed on the surface of the symmetrical transistor. P-type emitter region output and current density are improved without increasing the area of the transistor.
