    摘要: Methods of making a semiconductor device such as a lateral junction field effect transistor (JFET) are described. The methods are self-aligned and involve selective epitaxial growth using a regrowth mask material to form the gate or the source/drain regions of the device. The methods can eliminate the need for ion implantation. The device can be made from a wide band-gap semiconductor material such as SiC. The regrowth mask material can be TaC. The devices can be used in harsh environments including applications involving exposure to radiation and/or high temperatures.

    摘要: A wide bandgap semiconductor device with surge current protection and a method of making the device are described. The device comprises a low doped n-type region formed by plasma etching through the first epitaxial layer grown on a heavily doped n-type substrate and a plurality of heavily doped p-type regions formed by plasma etching through the second epitaxial layer grown on the first epitaxial layer. Ohmic contacts are formed on p-type regions and on the backside of the n-type substrate. Schottky contacts are formed on the top surface of the n-type region. At normal operating conditions, the current in the device flows through the Schottky contacts. The device, however, is capable of withstanding extremely high current densities due to conductivity modulation caused by minority carrier injection from p-type regions.

    摘要: Junction field-effect transistors with vertical channels and self-aligned regrown gates and methods of making these devices are described. The methods use techniques to selectively grow and/or selectively remove semiconductor material to form a p-n junction gate along the sides of the channel and on the bottom of trenches separating source fingers. Methods of making bipolar junction transistors with self-aligned regrown base contact regions and methods of making these devices are also described. The semiconductor devices can be made in silicon carbide.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices are described wherein current flow in the device is confined between the rectifying junctions (e.g., p-n junctions or metal-semiconductor junctions). The device provides non-punch-through behavior and enhanced current conduction capability. The devices can be power semiconductor devices as such as Junction Field-Effect Transistors (VJFETs), Static Induction Transistors (SITs), Junction Field Effect Thyristors, or JFET current limiters. The devices can be made in wide bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC). According to some embodiments, the device can be a normally-off SiC vertical junction field effect transistor. Methods of making the devices and circuits comprising the devices are also described.
