    摘要: A semiconductor die and a process for fabricating the semiconductor die are disclosed. The semiconductor die has a substrate and a silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial structure on the substrate. The SiC epitaxial structure includes at least a first N-type SiC layer, at least a first P-type SiC layer, and carbon vacancy reduction material, which has been implanted into a surface of the SiC epitaxial structure. Further, the SiC epitaxial structure has been annealed to mobilize the carbon vacancy reduction material to diffuse carbon atoms substantially throughout the SiC epitaxial structure, thereby increasing an average carrier lifetime in the SiC epitaxial structure.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices having a high performance channel and method of fabrication thereof are disclosed. Preferably, the semiconductor devices are Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) devices, and even more preferably the semiconductor devices are Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOS devices. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a SiC substrate of a first conductivity type, a first well of a second conductivity type, a second well of the second conductivity type, and a surface diffused channel of the second conductivity type formed at the surface of semiconductor device between the first and second wells. A depth and doping concentration of the surface diffused channel are controlled to provide increased carrier mobility for the semiconductor device as compared to the same semiconductor device without the surface diffused channel region when in the on-state while retaining a turn-on, or threshold, voltage that provides normally-off behavior.

    摘要: A system and method for image reconstruction is disclosed. The method divides iterative image reconstruction into two stages, in the image and Radon space, respectively. In the first stage, filtered back projection and adaptive filtering in the image space are combined to generate a refined reconstructed image of a sinogram residue. This reconstructed image represents an update direction in the image space. In the second stage, the update direction is transformed to the Radon space, and a step size is determined to minimize a difference between the sinogram residue and a Radon transform of the refined reconstructed image of the sinogram residue in the Radon space. These stages are repeated iteratively until the solution converges.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods of making the devices are described. The devices can be implemented in SiC and can include epitaxially grown n-type drift and p-type trenched gate regions, and an n-type epitaxially regrown channel region on top of the trenched p-gate regions. A source region can be epitaxially regrown on top of the channel region or selectively implanted into the channel region. Ohmic contacts to the source, gate and drain regions can then be formed. The devices can include edge termination structures such as guard rings, junction termination extensions (JTE), or other suitable p-n blocking structures. The devices can be fabricated with different threshold voltages, and can be implemented for both depletion and enhanced modes of operation for the same channel doping. The devices can be used as discrete power transistors and in digital, analog, and monolithic microwave integrated circuits.
