Recent progress of submicron CMOS using 6H-SiC for smart powerapplications

Silicon carbide (SiC) CMOS circuits have been developed recently to provide monolithic control for SiC MOS power switching devices. Although SiC CMOS is not well suited for high-end microprocessor applications, it must provide the necessary response time performance required for safe operation in high-voltage power switching applications. Despite previous developments in SiC CMOS process technology; which have enabled digital circuit operation using a 5 V power supply, circuit switching speeds were in the microsecond range. An obvious way to improve circuit performance is to scale device lateral and vertical dimensions. This paper describes recent progress in the development of a submicron, single metal, p-well CMBS process technology using 6H-SiC. Conventional NMOS transistors are fabricated with 0.5-mm (drawn) channel lengths and exhibit acceptable short-channel effects. Conventional PMOS transistors exhibit punchthrough at 0.8-mm channel lengths and require considerable channel engineering efforts which are also presented. Several digital logic gates and a ring oscillator have been fabricated with nanosecond gate switching performance. Performance limiting factors like parasitic series resistance is also investigated     

Positive temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage in 4H-SiC pnjunction rectifiers

It has been suggested that once silicon carbide (SiC) technology overcomes some crystal growth obstacles, superior SiC semiconductor devices would supplant silicon in many high-power applications. However, the property of positive temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage, a behavior crucial to realizing excellent power device reliability, has not been observed in 4H-SiC, which is presently the best-suited SiC polytype for power device implementation. This paper reports the first experimental measurements of stable positive temperature coefficient behavior observed in 4H-SiC pn junction rectifiers. This research indicates that robust 4H-SiC power devices with high breakdown reliability should be achievable after SiC foundries reduce material defects such as micropipes, dislocations, and deep level impurities
