3 kV Normally-Off 4H-SiC Buried Gate Static Induction Transistors (SiC-BGSITs)

Abstract

3 kV normally-off SiC-buried gate static induction transistors (SiC-BGSITs) were fabricated by using an innovative fabrication process that was used by us previously to fabricate 0.7–1.2 kV SiC-BGSITs. The fabricated device shows the lowest specific on-resistance of 9.16 mΩ·cm2, compared to all other devices of the same class. The threshold voltage of this device was 1.4 V at room temperature and was maintained at values more than 1 V with normally-off characteristics at 200 °C. The device can block drain voltage of 3 kV with a leakage current density of 6.9 mA/cm2.
