Abstract
Low on-resistance 4H-SiC reverse-blocking (RB) metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have been developed by adopting a non-punch-through (NPT) drift layer in order to suppress the punch-through (PT) current under the reverse-blocking condition. The n-type NPT drift layer was 40- ${\mu }\text{m}$ thick doped to $3.7\times 10^{15} $ cm−3. The forward and reverse breakdown voltages of the fabricated NPT RB MOSFET were 3.6 kV and −3.0 kV, respectively. The differential specific on-resistance was 13.5 $\text{m}\Omega \cdot $ cm2 at room temperature, which was 33% lower than that of a 3 kV PT RB MOSFET, demonstrating superiority of the developed NPT RB MOSFET as a high-performance bidirectional switch.
