Field effect device with enhanced gate dielectric structure
TL;DR: In this article, a vertically oriented field effect device has a body and an enhance gate structure, which includes a supplemental gate, a primary gate, and a gate contact over the top surface of the body above the JFET region.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
High performance, large-area, 1600 V / 150 A, 4H-SiC DMOSFET for robust high-power and high-temperature applications
Lin Cheng,Anant K. Agarwal,Marcelo Schupbach,Donald A. Gajewski,Daniel J. Lichtenwalner,Vipindas Pala,Sei-Hyung Ryu,Jim Richmond,John W. Palmour,William B. Ray,James A. Schrock,Argenis Bilbao,Stephen B. Bayne,Aivars J. Lelis,Charles Scozzie +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 2nd generation, large-area (56 mm2 with an active conducting area of 40 mm2) 4H-SiC DMOSFET is reported, which can reliably block 1600 V with very low leakage current under a gate bias (VG) of 0 V at temperatures up to 200°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of carrier lifetime enhancement using high temperature oxidation on 15 kV 4H-SiC P-GTO thyristor
Sei-Hyung Ryu,Daniel J. Lichtenwalner,E. Van Brunt,Craig Capell,M. O’Loughlin,Charlotte Jonas,Yemane Lemma,Jon Zhang,J. Richmond,A. Burk,Brett Hull,Heather O'Brien,Aderinto Ogunniyi,Aivars J. Lelis,Jeffrey Casady,David Grider,S.T. Allen,John W. Palmour +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the lifetime enhancement process using high temperature thermal oxidation method on 4H-SiC P-GTOs was investigated, and it was observed that the effectiveness of the LEO process was very sensitive to the doping concentration.
Patent
Vertical power transistor device
TL;DR: In this article, a power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is described, which includes a substrate, a drift layer over the substrate, and a spreading layer on top of the drift layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical properties and interface structure of SiC MOSFETs with barium interface passivation
Daniel J. Lichtenwalner,J. Houston Dycus,Weizong Xu,James M. LeBeau,Brett Hull,S.T. Allen,John W. Palmour +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the interface structure and chemistry of the Ba-modified MOS devices were investigated using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
