摘要: A new edge termination method, referred to as multiple-floating-zone junction extension (MFZ-JTE), is presented for high-voltage devices in 4H-SiC. 4H-SiC PiN rectifiers with a breakdown voltage of 10 kV (about 88% the theoretical value) were fabricated using MFZ-JTEs. The MFZ-JTE technique only requires single pattern-and-implant step while providing significant process latitude parameter variations such implantation dose and activation anneal condition.
