Fabrication and Characterization of 3.3-kV SiC DMOSFET with Self-Aligned Channels Formed by Tilted Ion Implantation

Article Preview

Abstract:

SiC DMOSFET with self-aligned channels was fabricated and characterized. The process features self-aligned channel formation by utilizing tilted ion implantation. We confirmed that channel areas were successfully formed along both sides of the stripe cell. Electrical measurements revealed that the characteristics of the fabricated DMOSFET chips had sufficiently high blocking voltage and moderate values of threshold voltage and on-state resistance. These experimental results show the proposed process can be an easy option for fabrication of SiC DMOSFET.
