摘要：
We present numerical simulation results of 1500-V SiC merged PiN Schottky (MPS) diode which exhibited Schottky-like on-state and switching characteristics, and PiN-like off-state characteristics. The key parameters that alter the overall device performance have been optimized using the device simulator MINIMOS-NT. The Schottky spacing between the adjacent p+ implanted regions has been varied so that a trade-off between the forward current capability and lower reverse leakage current can be investigated. MPS diodes have shown reliable avalanche operations with blocking voltage of 1350 V which is 90% of the desired value, and a high current density magnitude of 900 A/cm2 for an on-state voltage drop of only 3 V.
