Static Induction

3 kV normally-off SiC-buried gate static induction transistors (SiC-BGSITs) were fabricated by using an innovative fabrication process that was used by us previously to fabricate 0.7–1.2 kV SiC-BGSITs. The fabricated device shows the lowest specific on-resistance of 9.16 mΩ·cm2, compared to all other devices of the same class. The threshold voltage of this device was 1.4 V at room temperature and was maintained at values more than 1 V with normally-off characteristics at 200 °C. The device can block drain voltage of 3 kV with a leakage current density of 6.9 mA/cm2.

Static Induction

We investigated the short-circuit capabilities of 1.2 kV normally-off SiC buried gate static induction transistors (SiC-BGSITs). The maximum short-circuit energy was found to be 35.6 J/cm2, which is twice that of normally-on SiC-BGSITs and 3.3–5.6 times higher than that of the Si-IGBTs. The maximum short-circuit time was 590 μs. It is concluded that these high short-circuit capabilities result from saturation characteristics of the normally-off SiC-BGSITs.

Static induction transistors (SITs) are short channel FET structures which are suitable for high power, high frequency and high temperature applications. GaN has particularly favorable properties for SIT operation. However, such a device has not yet been fabricated. In this paper we report simulation studies on GaN static induction transistors over a range of device structures and operating conditions. The transistor was modeled with coupled drift-diffusion and heat-flow equations. We found that the performance of the device depends sensitively on the thermal boundary conditions, as self-heating effects limit the maximum voltage swing.
