摘要:
A semi-conductor structure for controlling and switching a current has a switch element and an edge element. The switch element contains a first semi-conductor area of a first conductivity type contacted by way of an anode electrode and a cathode electrode, a depletion area that is arranged inside the first semi-conductor area and that can be influenced by a control voltage applied to the control electrode for the purpose of current control, and an island area of a second conductivity type that is buried inside the first semi-conductor area. The edge element contains an edge area of the second conductivity type that is buried inside the first semi-conductive area and that is formed on a common level with the buried island area, in addition to an edge terminating area of a second conductivity type adjacent the edge area.
摘要:
The invention relates to a semiconductor structure for controlling a current (I), comprising a first n-conductive semiconductor region (2), a current path that runs within the first semiconductor region (2) and a channel region (22). The channel region (22) forms part of the first semiconductor region (2) and comprises a base doping. The current (I) in the channel region (22) can be influenced by means of at least one depletion zone (23, 24). The channel region (22) contains an n-conductive channel region (225) for conducting the current, said latter region having a higher level of doping than the base doping. The conductive channel region (225) is produced by ionic implantation in an epitaxial layer (262) that surrounds the channel region (22).
摘要:
An integrated vertical SiC—PN power diode has a highly doped SiC semiconductor body of a first conductivity type, a low-doped drift zone of the first conductivity type, arranged above the semiconductor body on the emitter side, an emitter zone of a second conductivity type, applied to the drift zone, and at least one thin intermediate layer of the first conductivity type. The intermediate layer is arranged inside the drift zone, has a higher doping concentration than the drift zone, and divides the drift zone into at least one first anode-side drift zone layer and at least one second cathode-side drift zone layer. There is also disclosed a circuit configuration with such SiC—PN power diodes.
摘要:
An SiC channel region of a semiconductor configuration, as a result of misoriented epitaxial growth on its surface, is formed with mutually parallel elevations. The flow of electric current in the channel region is set parallel with the elevations. As a result, a high degree of charge-carrier mobility in the channel region is obtained.
