Abstract:
A method and device for protecting wide bandgap devices from failing during suppression of voltage transients. An improvement in avalanche capability is achieved by placing one or more diodes, or a PNP transistor, across the blocking junction of the wide bandgap device.
Abstract:
A Schottky baroer silicon carbide device has a Re Schottky metal contact. The Re contact (27) is thicker than 250 Angstroms and may be between 2000 and 4000 Angstroms. A termination structure is provided by ion milling an annular region around the Schottky contact.

Abstract:
The present invention pertains to the packaging of electronic circuit. More particularly, the present invention pertains to methods for adherently bonding metals (4) to diamond (1) (i.e. the formation of a metal-diamond bonded structure) to yield metal-diamond substrates which are suitable for use in the fabrication of electronic packaging. These metal-diamond substrates exhibit both high thermal conductivity and dielectric isolation (where necessary), while being compatible with electronic package fabrication and the attachment of most semiconductor devices. The methods of the present invention include the formation of adherently bonded metal (5) by: the metallization of a bare diamond surface by the deposition of base coat or primer coat comprising certain carbide-forming metals such as molybdenum and tungsten; the metalization of a bare diamond surface using an active braze alloy; and by the growth of a diamond layer on a carbide-forming substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
