A lateral silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor device includes a SIC substrate of a first conductivity type, a SiC epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type on the substrate and a SiC surface layer on the SiC epitaxial layer. The SiC surface layer has a SiC first region of the first conductivity type, a SiC lateral drift region of a second conductivity type opposite to that of the first conductivity type adjacent the first region and forming a p-n junction therewith, and a SiC second region of the second conductivity type spaced apart from the first region by the drift region. By providing the drift region with a variable doping level which increases in a direction from the first region to the second region, compact SiC semiconductor devices such as high-voltage diodes or MOSFETs can be formed which can operate at high voltages, high temperatures and high frequencies, thus providing a substantial advantage over known devices.

A method for improving inversion layer mobility in a silicon carbide metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is provided. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for applying an oxide layer to a silicon carbide substrate so that the oxide-substrate interface of the resulting SiC MOSFET is improved. The method includes forming the oxide layer in the presence of metallic impurities.

A nonvolatile trench memory device such as an EEPROM is made by a method which permits an extremely compact and simple configuration due to the use of precise and efficient self-alignment techniques. Oxide-capped polysilicon mesas, formed integrally with the control gates, form the word lines of the memory device, while drain metallization lines contact drain regions of the device and extend over the oxide-capped word lines to form the bit lines. The resulting device is extremely compact, since the self-aligned process permits tighter tolerances and the unique polysilicon mesa/oxide cap construction permits a more compact configuration.

An electrically erasable and programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is provided with an insulated control gate and an insulating floating gate in a trench in a semiconductor body. A dielectric layer is disposed along the sidewalls of the trench to separate the floating gate and the semiconductor body. The thickness of the dielectric layer along at least one sidewall of the trench is greater than the thickness of the dielectric layer along the other sidewalls of the trench in order to increase the programming speed due to a higher electric field in the gate oxide along the remaining sidewalls.

A high-voltage differential sensor includes an attenuator formed of two matched monolithic capacitance divider networks. Each divider network is formed of a series connection of monolithically integrated capacitors, which together generate an attenuated differential signal from a high-voltage differential input signal. The attenuated differential signal from the capacitance divider networks is then amplified and fed to a comparator, which generates a first output level when the high-voltage differential input signal is above a selected level, and generates a second output level when the high-voltage differential input signal is below the selected level. By using monolithically integrated capacitors in the divider networks of the attenuator, a simple, compact, low power, high performance high-voltage differential sensor is obtained.
