    Abstract: Methods of making a semiconductor device such as a lateral junction field effect transistor (JFET) are described. The methods are self-aligned and involve selective epitaxial growth using a regrowth mask material to form the gate or the source/drain regions of the device. The methods can eliminate the need for ion implantation. The device can be made from a wide band-gap semiconductor material such as SiC. The regrowth mask material can be TaC. The devices can be used in harsh environments including applications involving exposure to radiation and/or high temperatures.

    Abstract: Semiconductor devices are described wherein current flow in the device is confined between the rectifying junctions (e.g., p-n junctions or metal-semiconductor junctions). The device provides non-punch-through behavior and enhanced current conduction capability. The devices can be power semiconductor devices as such as Junction Field-Effect Transistors (VJFETs), Static Induction Transistors (SITs), Junction Field Effect Thyristors, or JFET current limiters. The devices can be made in wide bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC). According to some embodiments, the device can be a normally-off SiC vertical junction field effect transistor. Methods of making the devices and circuits comprising the devices are also described.

    Abstract: A wide bandgap semiconductor device with surge current protection and a method of making the device are described. The device comprises a low doped n-type region formed by plasma etching through the first epitaxial layer grown on a heavily doped n-type substrate and a plurality of heavily doped p-type regions formed by plasma etching through the second epitaxial layer grown on the first epitaxial layer. Ohmic contacts are formed on p-type regions and on the backside of the n-type substrate. Schottky contacts are formed on the top surface of the n-type region. At normal operating conditions, the current in the device flows through the Schottky contacts. The device, however, is capable of withstanding extremely high current densities due to conductivity modulation caused by minority carrier injection from p-type regions.

    Abstract: A self-aligned silicon carbide power MESFET with improved current stability and a method of making the device are described. The device, which includes raised source and drain regions separated by a gate recess, has improved current stability as a result of reduced surface trapping effects even at low gate biases. The device can be made using a self-aligned process in which a substrate comprising an n + -doped SiC layer on an n-doped SiC channel layer is etched to define raised source and drain regions (e.g., raised fingers) using a metal etch mask. The metal etch mask is then annealed to form source and drain ohmic contacts. A single- or multilayer dielectric film is then grown or deposited and anisotropically etched. A Schottky contact layer and a final metal layer are subsequently deposited using evaporation or another anisotropic deposition technique followed by an optional isotropic etch of dielectric layer or layers.
