摘要
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a superior material for power devices because of its high breakdown field, good thermal conductivity, and excellent thermal stability. Moreover, SiC possesses a high quality native oxide suitable for fabricating MOS-based power devices. Although a number of processing issues still need to be resolved., development of prototype power devices has proceeded rapidly. The greatest progress has taken place in Schottky rectifiers, thyristors, and power MOSFETs.
