SiC DMOSFET with self-aligned channels was fabricated and characterized. The process features self-aligned channel formation by utilizing tilted ion implantation. We confirmed that channel areas were successfully formed along both sides of the stripe cell. Electrical measurements revealed that the characteristics of the fabricated DMOSFET chips had sufficiently high blocking voltage and moderate values of threshold voltage and on-state resistance. These experimental results show the proposed process can be an easy option for fabrication of SiC DMOSFET.

In this paper, we report a 0.1cm2 4H-SiC gate-turn-off (GTO) thyristor with 6 kV blocking voltage fabricated on a structure with a 60µm blocking layer. A relatively large area, high voltage 4H-SiC GTO that exhibits encouraging characteristic at the on- and off-states, and a low leakage current with 63% devices blocking 3kV or higher. Initial pulse testing result shows that the fabricated GTOs are capable of both high current density and high turn-off speed.

The behavior of 200nm Cr Schottky contacts on n-type 4H-SiC has been investigated with photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and standard (I-V and C-V) electrical measurements at different measurement temperatures. A barrier height close to 1.2 eV was calculated from XPS data under no-current and no-bias conditions on ultra-thin Cr films grown in-situ under UHV conditions. The I-V measurements on as-deposited contacts resulted in a barrier height of 1.06 eV while a value of 1.2 eV has been extracted from the C-V measurements.

This work focuses on measurement issues that affect the accuracy of positive bias temperature instability measurements of SiC power MOSFETs using a conventional sweep technique to characterize the threshold voltage, VT. Threshold-voltage shifts occurring during stress are readily recoverable during the measurement, resulting in an underestimation in VT degradation. Recovery of VT due to gate-stress relaxation before or during the measurement was a major source of measurement error that was mitigated by performing an immediate sweep down in gate voltage, VGS, from the stress bias toward threshold. Allowing the gate bias to drop to zero just prior to measuring by sweeping VGS positively resulted in smaller observed degradation due to VT recovery. This result is important, especially in cases where the gate stress has to be completely removed before making any electrical measurements. The VT shift caused by bias stress can quickly recover and yield test results that underestimate the effect of the applied stress. A full recovery of VT was observed following a positive gate bias stress for conditions where the gate was either subject to a negative gate voltage for a few seconds, or when VGS was maintained at zero volts for several minutes.

In this work, a 4.5kV/50A 4H-SiC PiN rectifiers with mesa combined with double-JTE structures is successfully developed for high power applications. Two-dimension numerical device simulator Silvaco-TCAD is applied to optimizing the electrical performance of fabricated rectifiers. Mesa-combined double-JTE structure is utilized to achieve a high blocking voltage with a wider optimum process latitude. A forward current is 50 A at room temperature when SiC PiN device bias 4.1 V, while the maximum blocking voltage achieved is 4.7 kV, reaching up to 86% of parallel-plane junction bulk breakdown.
