    摘要: A static induction transistor fabricated of silicon carbide, preferably 6H polytype, although any silicon carbide polytype may be used. The preferred static induction transistor is the recessed Schottky barrier gate type. Thus, a silicon carbide substrate is provided. Then, a silicon carbide drift layer is provided upon the substrate, wherein the drift layer has two spaced-apart protrusions or fingers which extend away from the substrate. Each protrusion of the drift layer has a source region of silicon carbide provided thereon. A gate material is then provided along the drift layer between the two protrusions. A conductive gate contact is provided upon the gate material and a conductive source contact is provided upon each source region. A conductive drain contact is provided along the substrate. Other gate types for the static induction transistor are contemplated. For example, a planar Schottky barrier gate may be employed. Furthermore, recessed or planar MOS gates may be utilized, as may a PN junction gate.

    摘要: A silicon carbide metal semiconductor field effect transitor fabricated on silicon carbide substrate with a layer which suppresses surface effects, and method for producing same. The surface-effect-suppressive layer may be formed on exposed portions of the transistor channel and at least a portion of each contact degenerate region. The surface-effect-suppressive layer may be made of undoped silicon carbide or of an insulator, such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride. If the surface-effect-suppressive layer is made of silicon dioxide, it is preferred that the layer be fabricated of a combination of thermally-grown and chemical vapor deposition deposited silicon dioxide.

    摘要: A diode structure having a reduced on-resistance in the forward-biased condition includes semiconductor layers, preferably of silicon carbide. The anode and cathode of the device are located on the same side of the bottom semiconductor layer, providing lateral conduction across the diode body. The anode is positioned on a semiconductor mesa, and the sides of the mesa are covered with a nonconductive spacer extending from the anode to the bottom layer. An ohmic contact, preferably a metal silicide, covers the surface of the bottom layer between the spacer material and the cathode. The conductive path extends from anode to cathode through the body of the mesa and across the bottom semiconductor layer, including the ohmic contact. The method of forming the diode includes reacting layers of silicon and metal on the appropriate regions of the diode to form an ohmic contact of metal silicide.

    摘要: An undoped surface layer over and lattice matched to the n-channel layer between the gate contact and the spaced apart source and drain n+ regions in power FETs made of group III-V compounds minimizes surface effects that preclude such devices from operating efficiently at high voltages, and improves reliability. The undoped surface layer may be grown on the n-channel layer before the layer forming the n+ regions, or where the n+ regions can be formed in the undoped surface layer. The invention is especially suitable for GaAs MESFETs and HEMTs.
