    摘要: A monolithically integrated MOS channel in gate-source shorted mode is used as a diode for the third quadrant conduction path for a power MOSFET. The MOS diode and MOSFET can be constructed in a variety of configurations including split-cell and trench. The devices may be formed of silicon carbide, gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, aluminum gallium nitride, diamond, or similar semiconductor. Low storage capacitance and low knee voltage for the MOS diode can be achieved by a variety of means. The MOS diode may be implemented with channel mobility enhancement materials, and/or have a very thin/high permittivity gate dielectric. The MOSFET gate conductor and MOS diode gate conductor may be made of polysilicon doped with opposite dopant types. The surface of the MOS diode dielectric may be implanted with cesium.

    摘要: Several embodiments of a tunneling transistor are disclosed. In one embodiment, a tunneling transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, a source region formed in the semiconductor substrate, a drain region formed in the semiconductor substrate, a gate stack including a metallic gate electrode and a gate dielectric, and a tunneling junction that is substantially parallel to an interface between the metallic gate electrode and the gate dielectric. As a result of the tunneling junction that is substantially parallel with the interface between the metallic gate electrode and the gate dielectric, an on-current of the tunneling transistor is substantially improved as compared to that of a conventional tunneling transistor. In another embodiment, a tunneling transistor includes a heterostructure that reduces a turn-on voltage of the tunneling transistor.
