Abstract:
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to silicon carbide (SiC) power devices and, more specifically, to SiC super-junction (SJ) power devices. A SiC-SJ device includes a plurality of SiC semiconductor layers of a first conductivity-type, wherein a first and a second SiC semiconductor layer of the plurality of SiC semiconductor layers comprise a termination region disposed adjacent to an active region with an interface formed therebetween, an act wherein the termination region of the first and the second SiC semiconductor layers comprises a plurality of implanted regions of a second conductivity-type, and wherein an effective doping profile of the termination region of the first SiC semiconductor layer is different from an effective doping profile of the termination region of the second SiC semiconductor layer.
Abstract:
An insulated gate field-effect transistor (IGFET) device includes a semiconductor body (200) and a gate oxide (234). The semiconductor body includes a first well region (216) doped with a first type of dopant and a second well region (220) that is doped with an opposite, second type of dopant and is located within the first well region. The gate oxide includes a relatively thinner outer section (244) and a relatively thicker interior section (246). The outer section is disposed over the first well region and the second well region. The interior section is disposed over a junction gate field effect transistor region (218) of the semiconductor body doped with the second type of dopant. A conductive channel is formed through the second well region when a gate signal is applied to a gate contact (250) disposed on the gate oxide.
