摘要:
A switching element combining a self-aligned, vertical junction field effect transistor with etched-implanted gate and an integrated antiparallel Schottky barrier diode is described. The anode of the diode is connected to the source of the transistor at the device level in order to reduce losses due to stray inductances. The SiC surface in the SBD anode region is conditioned through dry etching to achieve a low Schottky barrier height so as to reduce power losses associated with the turn on voltage of the SBD.

摘要:
Wide bandgap semiconductor devices including normally-off VJFET integrated power switches are described. The power switches can be implemented monolithically or hybridly, and may be integrated with a control circuit built in a single-or multi-chip wide bandgap power semiconductor module. The devices can be used in high-power, temperature-tolerant and radiation-resistant electronics components. Methods of making the devices are also described.
