Abstract

This paper presents a novel deep trench-type SiC MOSFET integrated with Schottky diodes (DT-JMOS) designed to improve oxide reliability and switching performances. In contrast to conventional SiC trench MOSFET with Schottky diodes (CT-JMOS), the DT-JMOS utilizes a narrower JFET region and a P-bot structure, resulting in superior electric field reductions in gate oxide layer to improve reliability. The unique structure also enables double-channel operation and deeper embedded Schottky contacts, significantly enhancing the current conduction capabilities in both the first and third quadrants. Furthermore, simulation results indicate that the DT-JMOS achieves a 97.6 % decrease in gate-to-drain capacitance (C_gd), leading to a 67.5 % improvement in gate-to-drain charge (Q_gd), and eventually resulting in reductions by factors of 3.2 and 3.5 for figure of merit Q_gd × R_on,sp and total switching losses (E_total), respectively. These attributes suggest that the DT-JMOS is more suitable for high-voltage and high-frequency applications.

期刊介绍： Published since 1969, the Microelectronics Journal is an international forum for the dissemination of research and applications of microelectronic systems, circuits, and emerging technologies. Papers published in the Microelectronics Journal have undergone peer review to ensure originality, relevance, and timeliness. The journal thus provides a worldwide, regular, and comprehensive update on microelectronic circuits and systems. The Microelectronics Journal invites papers describing significant research and applications in all of the areas listed below. Comprehensive review/survey papers covering recent developments will also be considered. The Microelectronics Journal covers circuits and systems. This topic includes but is not limited to: Analog, digital, mixed, and RF circuits and related design methodologies; Logic, architectural, and system level synthesis; Testing, design for testability, built-in self-test; Area, power, and thermal analysis and design; Mixed-domain simulation and design; Embedded systems; Non-von Neumann computing and related technologies and circuits; Design and test of high complexity systems integration; SoC, NoC, SIP, and NIP design and test; 3-D integration design and analysis; Emerging device technologies and circuits, such as FinFETs, SETs, spintronics, SFQ, MTJ, etc. Application aspects such as signal and image processing including circuits for cryptography, sensors, and actuators including sensor networks, reliability and quality issues, and economic models are also welcome.
