摘要:
A method of making a semiconductor structure for use in a static induction transistor. Three layers of a SiC material are on a substrate with the top layer covered with a thick oxide. A mask having a plurality of strips is deposited on the top of the oxide to protect the area underneath it, and an etch removes the oxide, the third layer and a small amount of the second layer, leaving a plurality of pillars. An oxidation step grows an oxide skirt around the base of each pillar and consumes the edge portions of the third layer under the oxide to form a source. An ion implantation forms gate regions between the skirts. At the same time, a plurality of guard rings is formed. Removal of all oxide results in a semiconductor structure to which source, gate and drain connections may be made to form a static induction transistor. A greater separation between a source and gate is obtained by placing a spacer layer on the sidewalls of the pillars, either before or after formation of the skirt
摘要:
A plurality of electronic circuits and associated signal lines are positioned at respective locations on a base wafer. A cover wafer, which fits over the base wafer, includes a corresponding like number of locations each including one or more cavities to accommodate the electronic circuit and associated signal lines. The cover wafer includes a plurality of vias for making electrical connection to the signal lines. A multi layer metallic arrangement hermetically seals the periphery of each location as well as sealing the bottom of each via. The joined base and cover wafers may then be diced to form individual die packages.
摘要:
A die attach procedure for SiC uses the scrubbing technique to bond a SiC die to a package. A first layer is formed on the SiC die. This first layer, preferably of nickel, bonds to the SiC die. A second layer, preferably amorphous silicon, is then formed on the first layer. The second layer bonds to the first layer, and forms a eutectic with the material, usually gold, plating the package when the SiC die is scrubbed onto the package.

摘要:
A method of aligning a gate and a source of a silicon carbide static induction transistor comprising the steps of depositing an oxide layer over the transistor, forming oxide spacers from the oxide layer where the oxide spacers are adjacent the source, depositing a metal layer over the transistor and removing the oxide spacers so that the resulting gates are accurately aligned with the source.
