摘要
We demonstrate triple ion implanted 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistor (BJT). By etching the extrinsic base regions using inductively coupled plasma dry etching, the characteristics of triple ion implanted 4H-SiC BJT were significantly improved. Maximum common emitter current gain was improved from 1.7 to 7.5. © 2010 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
