Fabrication and Characterisation of 1200V 4H-SiC VJFET

Article Preview

Abstract:

Results are presented for the silicon carbide (SiC) vertical channel junction field effect transistor (VJFET) fabricated based on in-house SiC epitaxial wafer suitable for power devices. We have demonstrated continuous improvement in blocking voltage, forward drain current under high temperature. The SiC VJFET device’s current density is 360 A/cm2 and current is 11 A at VG= 3 V and VD = 2 V, with related specific on-resistance 5.5 mΩ·cm2. The device exceeds 1200 V at gate bias VG = -10V. The current of the SiC VJFET device is 4 A and the reverse voltage is 1200V at the 200 °C high temperature.
