Dose Designing for High-Voltage 4H-SiC RESURF MOSFETs - Device Simulation and Fabrication

Article Preview

Abstract:

Optimum dose designing for 4H-SiC (0001) two-zone RESURF MOSFETs is investigated by device simulation and fabrication. Simulated results suggest that negative charge at the SiC/SiO2 interface significantly influences breakdown voltage. Simulation has also showed that breakdown voltage strongly depends on LDD (Lightly-Doped Drain) dose. The dose dependencies of the breakdown voltage experimentally obtained are in good agreement with the device simulation. A RESURF MOSFET, processed by N2O oxidation, with an optimized dose blocks 1080V and has a low on-resistance of 79 mcm2 at a gate oxide field of 3.0 MV/cm, which is the best 4H-SiC RESURF MOSFET ever reported.
