Development of 1200 V, 3.7 mΩ-cm2 4H-SiC DMOSFETs for Advanced Power Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

We present our recent developments in 4H-SiC power DMOSFETs. 4H-SiC DMOSFETs with a room temperature specific on-resistance of 3.7 mΩ-cm2 with a gate bias of 20 V, and an avalanche voltage of 1550 V with gate shorted to source, was demonstrated. A threshold voltage of 3.5 V was extracted from the power DMOSFET, and a subthreshold swing of 200 mV/dec was measured. The device was successfully scaled to an active area of 0.4 cm2, and the resulting device showed a drain current of 377 A at a forward voltage drop of 3.8 V at 25oC.
