摘要:
A lateral MESFET (10,20) utilizes a drain (17) and a source (18) damage termination layer to improve the breakdown voltage of the MESFET (10,20). The source (18) and drain (17) damage termination layers are very shallow to prevent interfering with lateral current flow in the channel layer (12). The source (18) and drain (17) damage termination layers are formed by implanting large inert ions using high implant doses and low implantation energies.

This is a method of fabricating a lateral gate, vertical drift region transistor including a semiconductor substrate having a drain on the reverse surface. A doped semiconductor layer is formed on the substrate and a high resistivity region is formed adjacent the surface of the doped layer so as to define a vertical drift region in the doped layer. A lateral channel is formed on the high resistivity region and the doped layer so as to communicate with the vertical drift region. A source is positioned on the lateral channel spaced laterally from the vertical drift region and a gate is positioned on the lateral channel between the drift region and the source.

A lateral silicon carbide transistor (10) utilizes a modulated channel region (18) to form an accumulation region that facilitates a low on-resistance. A doped region of the channel layer forms a channel insert (14) that also lowers the on-resistance of the transistor (10). A damage termination layer (27) is utilized to facilitate providing a high breakdown voltage. Field plates (23,24) also assists in increasing the breakdown voltage and decreasing the on-resistance of the transistor (10).

A method of fabricating an integrated VFET and Schottky diode including forming a source region on the upper surface of a substrate so as to define a channel. First and second spaced apart gates are formed on opposing sides of the source region so as to abut the channel, thereby forming a channel structure. Schottky metal is positioned on the upper surface of the substrate proximate the channel structure to define a Schottky diode region and form a Schottky diode. A source contact is formed in communication with the source region and the Schottky metal, and a drain contact is formed on the lower surface of the substrate.

A silicon carbide MESFET (10) is formed to have a source (21) and a drain (22) that are self-aligned to a gate (16) of the MESFET (10). The gate (16) is formed to have a T-shaped structure with a gate-to-source spacer (18) and gate-to-drain spacer (19) along each side of a base of the gate (16). The gate (16) is used as a mask for implanting dopants to form the source (21) and drain (22). A laser annealing is performed after the implantation to activate the dopants. Because the laser annealing is a low temperature operation, the gate (16) is not detrimentally affected during the annealing.
