    摘要: An MOS gate turn-off thyristor structure includes non-regenerative (three-layer or transistor) portions interspersed with the four-layer regenerative (thyristor) portions and further includes gate electrode segments disposed adjacent to relatively narrow portions of the base region. Upon application of an appropriate turn-off gate bias to the gate electrode segments, the base region of the regenerative portion in which they are disposed is pinched off and the current flowing therethrough is diverted to flow through the non-regenerative portion of the structure. This interrupts regeneration in the regenerative structure and the device turns off.

    摘要: An insulated-gate semiconductor device includes an IGFET with channel, base, drift and drain regions, and further includes source and drain electrodes attached to at least the base region and to the drain region, repectively. The device further includes a carrier injection region which adjoins the IGFET drift region and forms a P-N junction therewith. Biasing structure connected to the carrier injection region and effective during the on-state of the device is provided for forward biasing the P-N junction by an amount sufficient to induce injection of carriers from the carrier injection region, across the P-N junction, and into the IGFET drift region. As a consequence, the on-resistance of the device is markedly reduced.

    摘要: An electrical circuit includes a JFET serially connected to an IGFET, the gate of the IGFET constituting the gate for the circuit. Biasing structure, such as a resistor, is connected between the circuit gate and the gate of the JFET for forward-biasing the P-N junction of the JFET extant between its gate and channel regions. When this P-N junction is biased by more than about 0.6 volts for a silicon JFET, the JFET gate region injects current carriers into the JFET channel region, whereby bipolar conduction occurs in the JFET channel region and low on-resistance for the circuit is achieved. In a preferred circuit the biasing structure comprises an IGFET, which advantageously results in the circuit gate having a high input impedance.

    摘要: Voltage breakdown resistant monocrystalline silicon carbide semiconductor devices are obtained by forming an amorphous silicon carbide termination region in a monocrystalline silicon carbide substrate, at a face thereof, adjacent and surrounding a silicon carbide device. The amorphous termination region is preferably formed by implanting electrically inactive ions, such as argon, into the substrate face at sufficient energy and dose to amorphize the substrate face. The device contact or contacts act as an implantation mask to provide a self-aligned termination region for the device. The terminated devices may exhibit voltage breakdown resistance which approaches the ideal value for silicon carbide.

    摘要: A Schottky rectifier includes MOS-filled trenches and an anode electrode at a face of a semiconductor substrate and an optimally nonuniformly doped drift region therein which in combination provide high blocking voltage capability with low reverse-biased leakage current and low forward voltage drop. The nonuniformly doped drift region contains a concentration of first conductivity type dopants therein which increases monotonically in a direction away from a Schottky rectifying junction formed between the anode electrode and the drift region. A profile of the doping concentration in the drift region is preferably a linear or step graded profile with a concentration of less than about 5.times.10.sup.16 cm.sup.-3 (e.g., 1.times.10.sup.16 cm.sup.-3) at the Schottky rectifying junction and a concentration of about ten times greater (e.g., 3.times.10.sup.17 cm.sup.-3) at a junction between the drift region and a cathode region. The thickness of the insulating regions (e.g., SiO.sub.2) in the MOS-filled trenches is also greater than about 1000 .ANG. to simultaneously inhibit field crowding and increase the breakdown voltage of the device. The nonuniformly doped drift region is preferably formed by epitaxial growth from the cathode region and doped in-situ.
