Silicon carbide Double-Implanted Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (DIMOSFETs) were fabricated on 4H-SiC (000-1) carbon face. The DIMOSFETs were characterized from room temperature to 250°C. At room temperature, they showed a specific on-resistance of 4.9 mΩcm2 at a gate bias of 20 V and a drain voltage of 1.0 V. The specific on-resistance taken at a drain current (Id) of 260 A/cm2 was 5.0 mΩcm2. The blocking voltage of this device was higher than 1360 V at room temperature. At 250°C, the specific on-resistance increased from 5.0 mΩcm2 to 12.5 mΩcm2 and the threshold voltage determined at Id = 26 mA/cm2 decreased from 5.5 V to 4.3 V.

1.2 mm × 1.2 mm and 2.7 mm × 2.7 mm silicon carbide double-implanted metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (DIMOSFETs) were fabricated on 4H-SiC (000-1) carbon face. 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm DIMOSFETs were characterized from room temperature to 150°C. At room temperature, the specific on-resistance of this MOSFET was 5.7 mΩcm2 at a gate bias of 20 V and a drain voltage of 1.0 V. The blocking voltage of this MOSFET was 1450 V based on the avalanche current. At 150 °C, the specific on-resistance increased from 5.7 mΩcm2 to 9.1 mΩcm2 and the threshold voltage decreased from 4.9 V to 4.1 V. The blocking voltage increased from 1450V to 1500V. 2.7 mm × 2.7 mm DIMOSFETs were also characterized at room temperature. They showed a specific on-resistance of 8.0 mΩcm2 at a gate bias of 20 V and a drain voltage of 1 V. The blocking voltage of this device was 1550 V, which was determined by the avalanche current. The time-zero dielectric breakdown (TZDB) and time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) characteristics of 180 μm × 180 μm MOS capacitor were estimated. At room temperature (RT), TZDB was 9.3 MV/cm and the charge to breakdown value of 63% cumulative failure (Qbd) was 72 C/cm2. The temperature dependence of Qbd measurements showed that it deceased from 72 C/cm2 at RT to 14 C/cm2 at 250 °C. Switching characteristics of 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm DIMOSFETs were obtained by the double-pulse measurements. The turn-on time and the turn-off time were 36 nsec and 53 nsec, respectively.

ABSTRACTThe fabrication and characterization of AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor heterostructure field-effect transistors (MOSHFETs) with the δ-doped barrier are reported. The incorporation of the SiO2 insulated-gate and the δ-doped barrier into HFET structures reduces the gate leakage and improves the 2D channel carrier mobility. The device has a high drain-current-driving and gate-control capabilities as well as a very high gate-drain breakdown voltage of 200 V, a cutoff frequency of 15 GHz and a maximum frequency of oscillation of 34 GHz for a gate length of 1 μm. These characteristics indicate a great potential of this structure for high-power-microwave applications.

Gallium nitride (GaN) based metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are promising for switching device applications. The doping of n- and p-layers is varied to evaluate the figure of merits of proposed devices with a gate length of 10 nm. Devices are switched from OFF-state (gate voltage, VGS = 0 V) to ON-state (VGS = 1 V) for a fixed drain voltage, VDS = 0.75 V. The device with channel doping of 1×1016 cm-3 and source/drain (S/D) of 1×1020 cm-3 shows good device performance due to better control of gate over channel. The ON-current (ION), OFF-current (IOFF), subthreshold swing (SS), drain induce barrier lowering (DIBL), and delay time are found to be 6.85 mA/μm, 5.15×10-7 A/μm, 87.8 mV/decade, and 100.5 mV/V, 0.035 ps, respectively. These results indicate that GaN-based MOSFETs are very suitable for the logic switching application in nanoscale regime.

The gamma-ray irradiation sensitivity to radiation dose range from 0.5 Gy to 5 Gy and post-irradiation annealing at room and elevated temperatures have been studied for p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (also known as radiation sensitive field effect transistors or pMOS dosimeters) with gate oxide thicknesses of 400 nm and 1 mm. The gate biases during the irradiation were 0 and 5 V and 5 V during the annealing. The radiation and the post-irradiation sensitivity were followed by measuring the threshold voltage shift, which was determined by using transfer characteristics in saturation and reader circuit characteristics. The dependence of threshold voltage shift DVT on absorbed radiation dose D and annealing time was assessed. The results show that there is a linear dependence between DVT and D during irradiation, so that the sensitivity can be defined as DVT/D for the investigated dose interval. The annealing of irradiated metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors at different temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 150?C was performed to monitor the dosimetric information loss. The results indicated that the dosimeters information is saved up to 600 hours at room temperature, whereas the annealing at 150?C leads to the complete loss of dosimetric information in the same period of time. The mechanisms responsible for the threshold voltage shift during the irradiation and the later annealing have been discussed also.

Radiation response of 4H-SiC vertical power Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) was investigated at 150°C up to 10.4 MGy. Until irradiation at 1.2 MGy, the drain current – gate voltage curves of the SiC MOSFETs shifted to the negative voltage side, and the leakage of drain current at gate voltages below threshold voltage increased with increasing absorbed dose. However, no significant change in the electrical characteristics of SiC MOSFETs was observed at doses above 1.2 MGy. For blocking characteristics, there were no degradations of the SiC MOSFETs irradiated at 150°C even after irradiated at 10.4 MGy.
