摘要
A normally-off type 5.5kV 4H-SiC JFET with low specific on-resistance, called SEJFET (Static Expansion channel JFET), has been fabricated. Its normally-off operation was realized by a thin regrown epitaxial channel layer and using the buried p+ regions as a gate in addition to the top p+ regions. The achieved blocking voltage (BV) is the highest BV among the reported Sic switching devices. By the expansion of the channel region under die positive biases of both gates, specific on-resistance (RonS) can be reduced and 218 n Omega cm(2) achieved. Furthermore, a 4H-SiC SEJFET with a BV of 4.45kV has been fabricated, which has the largest figure of merit BV2/RonS of 164MW/cm(2).
