SiC Trench MOSFET with an Integrated Low Von Unipolar Heterojunction Diode

Article Preview

Abstract:

We demonstrate a SiC trench MOSFET with an integrated low Von unipolar heterojunction diode (MOSHJD). A region of the heterojunction diode (HJD) was fabricated in a trench with p+-type poly-crystalline silicon on an n--type epitaxial layer of 4H-SiC. The measured on-resistance (Ron) of the transistor action was 15 mΩcm2. The measured Von of the diode action was 2.2 V at a forward current density of 100 A/cm2. The fabrication process of the MOSHJD is simple. First, the trenches of the MOSFET region and the HJD region are formed simultaneously; then poly-crystalline silicon is deposited to form the gate electrode of the MOSFET region and the anode electrode of the HJD region at the same time.
