Article Preview

Abstract:

High voltage 4H-SiC junction barrier schottky (JBS) diode with breakdown voltage higher than 4.5 kV has been fabricated. The doping level and thickness of the N-type drift layer and the device structure have been performed by numerical simulations. The thickness of the device epilayer is 50 μm, and the doping concentration is 1.2×1015 cm3. A floating guard rings edge termination has been used to improve the effectiveness of the edge termination technique. The diodes can block a reverse voltage of at least 4.5 kV, and the on-state current density was 80 A/cm2 at VF =4 V.
