An Improvement of Trench Profile of 4H-SiC Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) Rectifier

Article Preview

Abstract:

A 4H-SiC TMBS diode with improved trench corners has been demonstrated. The trench profiles are improved by using 12sccm/28sccm of SF6/Ar mixture, and a working pressure of 12 mtorr for RIE etching. The depth of micro-trenching has been reduced to lower than 0.07 μm. The 4H-SiC TMBS diode with improved trench profiles shows a breakdown voltage over 725V.
