This paper reports the first, near theoretical limit breakdown voltage (1,750V) 4H-SiC BJTs with both high DC current gain(24.8) and low specific on-resistance (8.4mΩ⋅cm 2 at 50A/cm 2 and 12mΩ⋅cm 2 at 356A/cm 2 ) based on a drift layer of only 12µm, doped to 8.5x10 15 cm -3 . The high performance is achieved through the use of an optimum single-step junction termination extension (JTE), Al-free base Ohmic contact and wet-oxygen low-temperature re-oxidation annealing. Detailed processing conditions are reported. Room temperature and high temperature currentvoltage characteristics are also reported.
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.
