Octafluorocyclobutane (c-C4F8) is one of the environmentally friendly gases with the potential to replace SF6. In this paper, the AC breakdown characteristics of c-C4F8/N2 mixture in an extremely non-uniform electric field were studied; the effects of the gas pressure, electrode distance, and c-C4F8 volume fraction on the breakdown voltage were analyzed; and the feasibility of replacing SF6 with c-C4F8/N2 was verified. The results show that the breakdown voltage of c-C4F8 /N2 increases with an increase in pressure, electrode spacing, and volume fraction of c-C4F8 in an extremely non-uniform electric field. Under the same conditions, the breakdown voltage of 20%c-C4F8/80%N2 is 46–90% that of 20%SF6/80%N2. When the pressure is 0.3 MPa, the 20%c-C4F8/80%N2 breakdown voltage can reach over 57% that of SF6. Taking into consideration the environment, liquefaction temperature, and insulation strength, 20%c-C4F8/80%N2 may replace SF6 used for medium- and low-voltage equipment.

A 10 kV 4H-SiC PiN diode with an improved junction termination structure has been fabricated. An improved bevel mesa structure, nearly vertical side-wall at the edge of pn junction and rounded corner at mesa bottom, has been formed by reactive ion etching (RIE). The junction termination extension (JTE) region has been optimized by device simulation, and simulated breakdown voltage has been compared with experimental results. The locations of electric field crowding and diode breakdown have been discussed.

A perimeter gated SPAD (PGSPAD), a SPAD with an additional gate terminal, prevents premature perimeter breakdown in standard CMOS SPADs. At the same time, a PGSPAD takes advantage of the benefits of standard CMOS. This includes low cost and high electronics integration capability. In this work, we simulate the effect of the applied voltage at the perimeter gate to develop a consistent electric field distribution at the junction through physical device simulation. Additionally, the effect of the shape of the device on the electric field distribution has been examined using device simulation. Simulations show circular shape devices provide a more uniform electric field distribution at the junction compared to that of rectangular and octagonal devices. We fabricated PGSPAD devices in a sub-micron process (0.5 μm CMOS process and 0.5 μm high voltage CMOS process) and a deep-submicron process (180 nm CMOS process). Experimental results show that the breakdown voltage increases with gate voltage. The breakdown voltage increases by approximately 1.5 V and 2.5 V with increasing applied gate voltage magnitude from 0 V to 6 V for devices fabricated in 0.5 μm and 180 nm standard CMOS process respectively.
