摘要:
Semiconductor devices having a high performance channel and method of fabrication thereof are disclosed. Preferably, the semiconductor devices are Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) devices, and even more preferably the semiconductor devices are Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOS devices. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a SiC substrate of a first conductivity type, a first well of a second conductivity type, a second well of the second conductivity type, and a surface diffused channel of the second conductivity type formed at the surface of semiconductor device between the first and second wells. A depth and doping concentration of the surface diffused channel are controlled to provide increased carrier mobility for the semiconductor device as compared to the same semiconductor device without the surface diffused channel region when in the on-state while retaining a turn-on, or threshold, voltage that provides normally-off behavior.

摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a drift layer having a first conductivity type, a well region in the drift layer having a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type, and a source region in the well region. The source region has the first conductivity type and defines a channel region in the well region. The source region includes a lateral source region adjacent the channel region and a plurality of source contact regions extending away from the lateral source region opposite the channel region. A body contact region having the second conductivity type is between at least two of the plurality of source contact regions and is in contact with the well region. A source ohmic contact overlaps at least one of the source contact regions and the body contact region. A minimum dimension of a source contact area of the semiconductor device is defined by an area of overlap between the source ohmic contact and the at least one source contact region.
