Abstract:
A SiC semiconductor device includes: a SiC substrate made of intrinsic SiC having semi-insulating property; first and second conductive type SiC layers disposed in the substrate; an insulation separation layer made of intrinsic SiC for isolating the first conductive type SiC layer from the second conductive type SiC layer; first and second conductive type channel JFETs disposed in the first and second conductive type SiC layers, respectively. The first and second conductive type channel JFETs provide a complementary junction field effect transistor. Since an electric element is formed on a flat surface, a manufacturing method is simplified. Further, noise propagation at high frequency and current leakage at high temperature are restricted.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device with a JFET is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a trench and a contact embedded layer formed in the trench. A gate wire is connected to the contact embedded layer, so that the gate wire is connected to an embedded gate layer via the contact embedded layer. In this configuration, it is possible to downsize a contact structure between the embedded gate layer and the gate wire.
Abstract:
A wide band gap semiconductor device having a JFET, a MESFET, or a MOSFET mainly includes a semiconductor substrate, a first conductivity type semiconductor layer, and a first conductivity type channel layer. The semiconductor layer is formed on a main surface of the substrate. A recess is formed in the semiconductor layer in such a manner that the semiconductor layer is divided into a source region and a drain region. The recess has a bottom defined by the main surface of the substrate and a side wall defined by the semiconductor layer. The channel layer has an impurity concentration lower than an impurity concentration of the semiconductor layer. The channel layer is formed on the bottom and the side wall of the recess by epitaxial growth.
Abstract:
A power electronic package includes: first and second high thermal conductivity insulating non-planar substrates; and multiple semiconductor chips and electronic components between the substrates. Each substrate includes multiple electrical insulator layers and patterned electrical conductor layers connecting to the electronic components, and further includes multiple raised regions or posts, which are bonded together so that the substrates are mechanically and electrically connected. The number, arrangement, and shape of the raised regions or posts are adjusted to have mechanical separation between the substrates. The electrical conductor layers are separated and isolated one another so that multiple electric circuits are provided on at least one of the substrates.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device having a JFET or a MESFET mainly includes a semiconductor substrate, a first conductivity type semiconductor channel layer on the substrate, a first conductivity type semiconductor layer on the channel layer, and an i-type sidewall layer on a sidewall of a recess that penetrates the semiconductor layer to divide the semiconductor layer into a source region and a drain region. The semiconductor layer has an impurity concentration greater than an impurity concentration of the channel layer. The semiconductor device further includes a second conductivity type gate region that is located on the channel layer in the recess and on the i-type sidewall layer. The gate region is spaced from the source region and the drain region by the i-type sidewall layer.
