摘要
A new edge termination method, referred to as multiple-floating-zone junction termination extension (MFZ-JTE), is presented for high-voltage devices in 4H-SiC. 4H-SiC PiN rectifiers with a breakdown voltage of 10 kV (about 88% of the theoretical value) were fabricated using MFZ-JTEs. The MFZ-JTE technique only requires a single pattern-and-implant step while providing significant process latitude for parameter variations such as implantation dose and activation anneal condition.
