Silicon Carbide (4H-SiC), power UMOSFET's were fabricated and characterized from room temperature to 200 C. The devices had a 12-m thick lightly doped n-type drift layer, and a nominal channel length of 4 m. When tested underFluorinert TM at room temperature, blocking voltages ranged from 1.0 kV to 1.2 kV. Effective channel mobility ranged from 1.5 cm 2 /V 1 s at room temperature with a gate bias of 32 V (3.5 MV/cm) up to 7 cm 2 /V 1 s at 100 C with an applied gate bias of 26 V (2.9 MV/cm). Specific on-resistance (R on;sp ) was calculated to be as low as 74 m 1 cm 2 at 100 C under the same gate bias.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
