Starting with a conventional LDMOSFET, 2D and 3D numerical simulation models, able to accurately match datasheet values, have been developed. Moving from the original device, several design techniques have been investigated with the target of improving the breakdown voltage and the ON-state resistance. The considered design techniques are based on the modification of the doping profile of the drift region and the Superjunction design technique. The paper shows that a single step doping within the drift region is the best design choice for the considered device and is found to give a 24% improvement in the breakdown voltage and a 17% reduction of the ON-state resistance.","PeriodicalId":403202,"journal":{"name":"CAS 2011 Proceedings (2011 International Semiconductor Conference)","volume":"261 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122689060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The external quantum efficiency (EQE) for these cells shows that the shape of these characteristics depends on ZnSe layer thickness. The incorporation of Zn at the ZnSe and CdTe interface, for the first time, doubles the short circuit current density and improves the performance of ZnSe/CdTe thin film solar cells.","PeriodicalId":403202,"journal":{"name":"CAS 2011 Proceedings (2011 International Semiconductor Conference)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114494498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Progresses in the manufacturing of high quality SiC substrates open the possibility to new circuit applications. SiC unipolar transistors, such as JFETs and MESFETs have also a promising potential for digital integrated circuits operating at high temperature and/or in harsh environments. An increasing demand for high temperature compliant circuits comes from intelligent power management, automotive industry, and intelligent sensors for harsh environment, space and aerospace as well. Mesa isolation is a widely used isolation technique for the definition of individual devices due to its simplicity as fabrication process [1]. It is mostly used for the protection of high power devices. The junction isolation is widely used for bipolar, Bi-CMOS integrated circuits (IC) and can be achieved by diffusion or implantation process. The present work is presenting the experimental comparison between the mesa isolation process and p+ implantation junction isolation for 4H-SiC MESFET transistors.","PeriodicalId":403202,"journal":{"name":"CAS 2011 Proceedings (2011 International Semiconductor Conference)","volume":"1993 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128634633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
