A Study of the High-K Enhanced Depletion-JTE for Ultra-High Voltage SiC Power Device with Improved JTE-Dose Window

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a High-K dielectric permittivity Enhanced Depletion-JTE(HKED-JTE) for 10 kV ultra-high voltage is studied. The HKED-JTE improves the terminal protection efficiency by the self-charge balance of High-K dielectric polarization charges. The tolerance of the implantation dose window of HKED-JTE reaches 9 times as large as that of normal TZ-JTE with the same terminal area, and the corresponding BV holding theoretical breakdown voltage is over 80%. The thicker High-K layer accomplishes the modulation of the surface electric flux and decreases the electric field up to 51% and 47% at the abrupt junction J2 and J3 along the device interface between the SiC and High-K materials.
