Impact of Design on Electrical Characteristics of 3.5 kV 4H-SiC JBS Diode

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work reports on the fabrication and electrical characterization of 3 different diodes. The first one is a Schottky diode with a single 50 mm P+ ring between the edge termination and the active area. The two other diodes are JBS with a 3 mm P+ strips separated by 4 mm and 8 mm respectively. The breakdown voltage ranges from 2.7kV up to 3.7kV depending on the P+/N area. The 3 different diodes exhibit a similar on-resistance versus the temperature behavior. Moreover, no contribution of the bipolar conduction is observed and no degradation has been observed when a forward stress is performed in forward mode and also in reverse.
