Low Vf and highly reliable 16 kV ultrahigh voltage SiC flip-type n-channel implantation and epitaxial IGBT

Flip-type n-channel implantation and epitaxial (IE)-IGBT on 4H-SiC carbon face with an epitaxial p++ collector layer was investigated. In this study, we employed the IEMOSFET as a MOSFET structure with original wet gate oxidation method, to realize high channel mobility. We were able to achieve an ultrahigh blocking voltage of more than 16 kV, extremely low forward voltage drop of 5 V at 100 A/cm2 and small threshold voltage shift (<; 0.1 V). These characteristics are useful for Smart Grid and HVDC systems, the use of which would realize a low carbon emission society.
