    摘要: A silicon carbide semi-insulating epitaxy layer is used to create power devices and integrated circuits having significant performance advantages over conventional devices. A silicon carbide semi-insulating layer is formed on a substrate, such as a conducting substrate, and one or more semiconducting devices are formed on the silicon carbide semi-insulating layer. The silicon carbide semi-insulating layer, which includes, for example, 4H or 6H silicon carbide, is formed using a compensating material, the compensating material being selected depending on preferred characteristics for the semi-insulating layer. The compensating material includes, for example, boron, vanadium, chromium, or germanium. Use of a silicon carbide semi-insulating layer provides insulating advantages and improved thermal performance for high power and high frequency semiconductor applications.

    摘要: Devices and methods for fabricating wholly silicon carbide heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) using germanium base doping to produce suitable emitter/base heterojunctions. In one variation, all device layers are are grown epitaxially and the heterojunction is created by introducing a pseudoalloying material, such as germanium, to form a graded implant. In other variations, the device epitaxial layers are 1) grown directly onto a semi-insulating substrate, 2) the semi-insulating epitaxial layer is grown onto a conducting substrate; 3) the subcollector is grown on a lightly doped p-type epitaxial layer grown on a conducting substrate; and 4) the subcollector is grown directly on a conducting substrate. Another variation comprises a multi-finger HBT with bridging conductor connections among emitter fingers. Yet another variation includes growth of layers using dopants other than nitrogent or aluminum. Yet another variation includes implantation of region within one or more epitaxial layers, rather than use of separate epitaxial layers.

    摘要: A junction field effect transistor is described. The transistor is made from a wide bandgap semiconductor material. The device comprises source, channel, drift and drain semiconductor layers, as well as p-type implanted or Schottky gate regions. The source, channel, drift and drain layers can be epitaxially grown. The ohmic contacts to the source, gate, and drain regions can be formed on the same side of the wafer. The devices can have different threshold voltages depending on the vertical channel width and can be implemented for both depletion and enhanced modes of operation for the same channel doping. The devices can be used for digital, analog, and monolithic microwave integrated circuits. Methods for making the transistors and integrated circuits comprising the devices are also described.
