摘要： A silicon carbide power device includes a junction field effect transistor and a protective diode, which is a Zener or PN junction diode. The PN junction of the protective diode has a breakdown voltage lower than the PN junction of the transistor. Another silicon carbide power device includes a protective diode, which is a Schottky diode. The Schottky diode has a breakdown voltage lower than the PN junction of the transistor by adjusting Schottky barrier height or the depletion layer formed in the semiconductor included in the Schottky diode. Another silicon carbide power device includes three protective diodes, which are Zener diodes. Two of the protective diodes are used to clamp the voltages applied to the gate and the drain of the transistor due to surge energy and used to release the surge energy. The last diode is a thermo-sensitive diode, with which the temperature of the JFET is measured.

摘要： A silicon carbide semiconductor device that includes J-FETs has a drift layer of epitaxially grown silicon carbide having a lower impurity concentration level than a substrate on which the drift layer is formed. Trenches are formed in the surface of the drift layer, and first gate areas are formed on inner walls of the trenches. Second gate areas are formed in isolation from the first gate areas. A source area is formed on channel areas, which are located between the first and second gate areas in the drift layer. A method of manufacturing the device ensures uniform channel layer quality, which allows the device to have a normally-off characteristic, small size, and a low likelihood of defects.

摘要： A silicon carbide semiconductor device such as JFET, SIT and the like is provided for accomplishing a reduction in on-resistance and high-speed switching operations. In the JFET or SIT which turns on/off a current with a depletion layer extending in a channel between a gate region formed along trench grooves, a gate contact layer and a gate electrode, which can be supplied with voltages from the outside, are formed on one surface of a semiconductor substrate or on the bottom of the trench groove. A metal conductor (virtual gate electrode) is formed in ohmic contact with a p++ contact layer of the gate region on the bottom of the trench grooves independently of the gate electrode. The virtual gate electrode is electrically isolated from the gate electrode and an external wire.
