  • Low temperature Ni-Al ohmic contacts to p-TYPE 4H-SiC using semi-salicide processing
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials, ICSCRM 2017. - : Trans Tech Publications. - 9783035711455 ; , s. 389-392
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Most semiconductor devices require low-resistance ohmic contact to p-type doped regions. In this work, we present a semi-salicide process that forms low-resistance contacts (~10-4 Ω cm2) to epitaxially grown p-type (>5×1018 cm-3) 4H-SiC at temperatures as low as 600 °C using rapid thermal processing (RTP). The first step is to self-align the nickel silicide (Ni2Si) at 600 °C. The second step is to deposit aluminium on top of the silicide, pattern it and then perform a second annealing step in the range 500 °C to 700 °C.

  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Materials Science Forum. - : Trans Tech Publications Ltd. - 0255-5476 .- 1662-9752. - 9783038354789 ; 821, s. 838-841
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A single-mask junction termination extension withtrench structures is formed to realize a 4.5 kV implantation-free 4H-SiCbipolar junction transistor (BJT). The trench structures are formed on the baselayer with dry etching using a single mask. The electric field distributionalong the structure is controlled by the number and dimensions of the trenches.The electric field is distributed by the trench structures and thus the electricfield crowding at the base and mesa edges is diminished. The design isoptimized in terms of the depth, width, spacing, and number of the trenches toachieve a breakdown voltage (VB) of 4.5 kV, which is 85% of thetheoretical value. Higher efficiency is obtainable with finer lithographicresolution leading to smaller pitch, and higher number and narrower trenches.The specific on-resistance (RON) of 20 mΩ.cm2 is measuredfor the small-area BJT with active area of 0.04 mm2. The BV-RONof the fabricated device is very close to the SiC limit and by far exceeds thebest SiC MOSFETs.

  • Design Optimization and Realization of 4H-SiC Bipolar Junction Transistors
  • 2017
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • 4H-SiC-based bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are attractive devices for high-voltage and high-temperature operations due to their high current capability, low specific on-resistance, and process simplicity. To extend the potential of SiC BJTs to power electronic industrial applications, it is essential to realize high-efficient devices with high-current and low-loss by a reliable and wafer-scale fabrication process. In this thesis, we focus on the improvement of the 4H-SiC BJT performance, including the device optimization and process development.To optimize the 4H-SiC BJT design, a comprehensive study in terms of cell geometries, device scaling, and device layout is performed. The hexagon-cell geometry shows 42% higher current density and 21% lower specific on-resistance at a given maximum current gain compared to the interdigitated finger design. Also, a layout design, called intertwined, is used for 100% usage of the conducting area. A higher current is achieved by saving the inactive portion of the conducting area. Different multi-step etched edge termination techniques with an efficiency of >92% are realized.Regarding the process development, an improved surface passivation is used to reduce the surface recombination and improve the maximum current gain of 4H-SiC BJTs. Moreover, wafer-scale lift-off-free processes for the n- and p-Ohmic contact technologies to 4H-SiC are successfully developed. Both Ohmic metal technologies are based on a self-aligned Ni-silicide (Ni-SALICIDE) process.Regarding the device characterization, a maximum current gain of 40, a specific on-resistance of 20 mΩ·cm2, and a maximum breakdown voltage of 5.85 kV for the 4H-SiC BJTs are measured. By employing the enhanced surface passivation, a maximum current gain of 139 and a specific on-resistance of 579 mΩ·cm2 at the current density of 89 A/cm2 for the 15-kV class BJTs are obtained. Moreover, low-voltage 4H-SiC lateral BJTs and Darlington pair with output current of 1−15 A for high-temperature operations up to 500 °C were fabricated.This thesis focuses on the improvement of the 4H-SiC BJT performance in terms of the device optimization and process development for high-voltage and high-temperature applications. The epilayer design and the device structure and topology are optimized to realize high-efficient BJTs. Also, wafer-scale fabrication process steps are developed to enable realization of high-current devices for the real applications.

  • Ingår i: 11th European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials, ECSCRM 2016. - : Trans Tech Publications Inc.. - 9783035710434 ; , s. 455-458
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • 1.2 kV SiC buried grid junction barrier Schottky (BG-JBS) diodes are demonstrated. The design considerations for high temperature applications are investigated. The design is optimized in terms of doping concentration and thickness of the epilayers, as well as grid size and spacing dimensions, in order to obtain low on-resistance and reasonable leakage current even at high temperatures. The device behavior at temperatures ranging from 25 to 250ºC is analyzed and measured on wafer level. The forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 100 A/cm2 and 3.8 V at 1000 A/cm2 is measured, respectively. At reverse voltage of 1 kV, a leakage current density below 0.1 μA/cm2 and below 0.1 mA/cm2 is measured at 25 and 250ºC, respectively. This proves the effective shielding effect of the BG-JBS design and provides benefits in high voltage applications, particularly for high temperature operation.

  • Intertwined Design: A Novel Lithographic Method to Realize Area Efficient High Voltage SiC BJTs and Darlington Transistors
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. - 0018-9383 .- 1557-9646. ; 63:11, s. 4366-4372
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A novel lithographic method called intertwined design is demonstrated for high-power SiC devices to improve the area usage and current drive with more uniform current distribution along the device. The higher current drive is achieved by employing the inactive area underneath the base metal contact pads; more uniform current distribution is obtained by the center-base design; whereas the hexagon and square cell geometries result in >15% higher current density at lower on-resistance compared with the conventional finger design. For the first time, we have experimentally presented the intertwined design to marry these advantages and realize a high-efficient SiC power device. Center-base high-voltage 4H–SiC BJTs and Darlington pairs with different square and hexagon cell geometries are fabricated and compared with conventional designs to prove the ability of the intertwined design. The method can widely be used for large-area high-voltage BJTs as well as for integrated devices.

  • Modification of etched junction termination extension for the high voltage 4H-SiC power devices
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Silicon Carbide and Related Materials. - : Trans Tech Publications. - 9783035710427 ; , s. 978-981
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • High voltage 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) with modified etched junction termination extension (JTE) were fabricated and optimized in terms of the length (LJTE) and remaining dose (DJTE) of JTEs. It is found that for a given total termination length (Σ LJTEi), a decremental JTE length from the innermost edge to the outermost mesa edge of the device will result in better modification of the electric field. A breakdown voltage (BV) of 4.95 kV is measured for the modified device which shows ~20% improvement of the termination efficiency for no extra cost or extra process step. Equal-size BJTs by interdigitated-emitter with different number of fingers and cell pitches were fabricated. The maximum current gain of 40 is achieved for a single finger device with the emitter width of 40 μm at IC = 0.25 A (JC = 310 A/cm2) which corresponds to RON = 33 mΩ.cm2. It is presented that the current gain decreases by having more fingers while the maximum current gain is achieved at higher current density.

Hence, for a given total termination length, a decremental JTE length from the innermost edge to the outermost mesa edge of the device results in better modification of the electric field.

  • Process variation tolerant 4H-SiC power devices utilizing trench structures
  • 2013

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the most attractive semiconductors for high voltage applications. The breakdown voltage of SiC-based devices highly depends on the variation of the fabrication process including doping of the epilayers and the etching steps. In this paper, we show a way to diminish this variability by employing novel trench structures. The influence of the process variations in terms of doping concentration and etching has been studied and compared with conventional devices. The breakdown voltage variation (ΔVBr) of 450 V and 2100 V is obtained for the ±20% variation of doping concentration of the devices with and without the trench structures, respectively. For ±20% variation in etching steps, the maximum ΔVBR of 380 V is obtained for the device with trench structures in comparison to 1800 V for the conventional structure without trench structures. These results show that the breakdown voltage variation is significantly reduced by utilizing the proposed structure.

    • This letter presents an active down-conversion mixer for high-temperature communication receivers. The mixer is based on an in-house developed 4H-SiC BJT and down-converts a narrow-band RF input signal centered around 59 MHz to an intermediate frequency of 500 kHz.

Throughout the measured temperature range, it achieves an input and output return loss of less than-7 and-11 dB, respectively. The amplifier has a 1-dB output compression point of about 1.4 dBm, which remains fairly constant with temperature. Each amplifier stage is biased with a collector current of 10 mA and a base-collector voltage of 3 V. Under the aforementioned biasing, the maximum power dissipation of the amplifier is 221 mW.

  • Silicon Carbide BJT Oscillator Design Using S-Parameters

  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Radio frequency (RF) oscillator design typically requires large-signal, high-frequency simulation models for the transistors. The development of such models is generally difficult and time consuming due to a large number of measurements needed for parameter extraction. The situation isfurther aggravated as the parameter extraction process has to be repeated at multiple temperature points in order to design a wide-temperature range oscillator. To circumvent this modelling effort, analternative small-signal, S-parameter based design method can be employed directly without goinginto complex parameter extraction and model fitting process. This method is demonstrated through design and prototyping a 58 MHz, high-temperature (HT) oscillator, based on an in-house 4H-SiC BJT. The BJT at elevated temperature (up to 300 0C) was accessed by on-wafer probing and connectedby RF-cables to the rest of circuit passives, which were kept at room temperature (RT).

    • Silicon Carbide (SiC) bipolar integrated circuits are a promising technology for extreme environment applications. SiC bipolar technology shows stable operation over a wide range of temperature. However, the current gain of the devices is suffering from high surface recombination, due to poor oxide passivation. In this paper we propose a gated base structure that offers improved current gain control. A polysilicon gate is formed on the passivation oxide on top of the base-link region. We investigate the current gain as a function of gate bias and temperature. A negative gate bias improves the gain at low collector current by more than 30% by suppressing the surface recombination. Measurements are presented at temperatures ranging from 300 K to 550 K and the gain is consistently improved. The proposed structure is also useful as a process monitor for the passivation oxide quality.

    • Implantation-free mesa etched 10+ kV 4H-SiC PiN diodes are fabricated, measured and analyzed by device simulation. An area-optimized junction termination extension (O-JTE) is implemented in order to achieve a high breakdown voltage. The diodes design allows a high breakdown voltage of about 19.3 kV according to simulations by Sentaurus TCAD. No breakdown voltage is recorded up to 10 kV with a very low leakage current of 0.1 μA. The current spreading within the thick drift layer is considered and a voltage drop (VF) of 8.3 V and 11.4 V are measured at 50 A/cm2 and 100 A/cm2, respectively. The differential on-resistance (Diff. Ron) of 67.7 mΩ.cm2 and 55.7 mΩ.cm2 are measured at 50 A/cm2 and 100 A/cm2, respectively.

    • Implantation-free mesa-etched ultra-high-voltage (0.08 mm(2)) 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) with record current gain of 139 are fabricated, measured, and analyzed by device simulation. High current gain is achieved by optimized surface passivation and optimal cell geometries. The area-optimized junction termination extension is utilized to obtain a high and stable breakdown voltage without ion implantation. The open-base blocking voltage of 15.8 kV at a leakage current density of 0.1 mA/cm(2) is achieved. Different cell geometries (single finger, square, and hexagon cell geometries) are also compared.

    • Geometrical effects on the forward characteristics of high-power bipolar junction transistors are studied.An implantation-free area optimized junction termination is implemented in order to have a stable breakdown voltage. The effect of varying the emitter-base geometry, i.e., the emitter width (WE), the base width (WB), emitter contact–emitter edge distance (Wn), and base contact–emitter edge (Wp) on the on-state characteristics is studied in the different emitter cell geometries. The emitter size effect shows the highest influence on the current gain (β). It shows a significant effect on the β (single finger design, about 61%; square cell geometry, about 98%;hexagon cell geometry, about 90%). The base size effect also shows a significant improvement on the β of about 23% at a given WE.

    • Implantation-free mesa-etched 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) with a near-ideal breakdown voltage of 5.6 kV (about 92% of the theoretical value) are fabricated, measured and analyzed by device simulation. An efficient and optimized termination; area-optimized three-zone junction termination extension (O-JTE) is implemented, reducing the total area (and substrate cost) by about 30% compared to the traditional JTE designs. A maximum current gain of beta = 44 at a current density of 472 A/cm(2), and a specific on-resistance of R-ON = 18.8 m Omega.cm(2) is obtained for the device. The device shows a negative temperature coefficient of the current gain (beta = 14.5 at 200 degrees C) and a positive temperature coefficient of on-resistance (R-ON = 57.3 m Omega.cm(2) at 200 degrees C).

    • Implantation-free mesa etched ultra-high-voltage 4H-SiC PiN diodes are fabricated, measured and analyzed by device simulation. The diode’s design allows a high breakdown voltage of about 19.3 kV according to simulations. No reverse breakdown is observed up to 13 kV with a very low leakage current of 0.1 μA. A forward voltage drop (VF) and differential on-resistance (Diff. Ron) of 9.1 V and 41.4 mΩ cm2 are measured at 100 A/cm2, respectively, indicating the effect of conductivity modulation.

  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Degradation-free ultrahigh-voltage (>10 kV) PiN diodes using on-axis 4H-SiC with low forward voltage drop (VF = 3.3 V at 100 A/cm2) and low differential on-resistance (RON = 3.4 m.cm2) are fabricated, measured, and analyzed by device simulation. The devices show stable on-state characteristics over a broad temperature range up to 300 °C. They show no breakdown up to 10 kV, i.e., the highest blocking capability for 4H-SiC devices using on-axis to date. The minority carrier lifetime (τP) is measured after epitaxial growth by time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) technique at room temperature. The τP is measured again after device fabrication by open circuit voltage decay (OCVD) up to 500 K.

  • Geometrical effect dependency on the on-state characteristics in 5.6 kV 4H-SiC BJTs
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: 16th International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials, ICSCRM 2015. - : Trans Tech Publications Ltd. - 9783035710427 ; , s. 958-961
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The influence of varying the emitter-base geometry, i.e., the emitter width (WE), emitter contact-emitter edge distance (Wn), and base contact-emitter edge (Wp) on the on-state characteristics in 5.6 kV implantation free 4H-SiC BJTs is investigated. The BJTs present a clear emitter size effect pointing out that surface recombination has a significant influence on current gain (β). The results show that the influence of varying Wp on the β is higher than Wn. A distance of 3 μm between emitter contact and base contact to the emitter edge (Wn = Wp = 3 μm) is the optimized value to have a BJT with a high β, and low on-resistance (RON) at a given WE.

  • Investigation of the breakdown voltage in high voltage 4H-SiC BJT with respect to oxide and interface charges
  • 2015

    • Ion implantation in silicon carbide (SiC) induces defects during the process. Implantation free processing can eliminate these problems. The junction termination extension (JTE) can also be formed without ion implantation in SiC bipolar junction transistor (BJT) using a well-controlled etching into the epitaxial base layer. The fixed charges at the SiC/SiO2 interface modify the effective dose of the JTEs, leakage current, and breakdown voltage. In this paper the influence of fixed charges (positive and negative) and also interface trap density at the SiC/SiO2 interface on the breakdown voltage in 4.5 kV 4H-SiC non-ion implanted BJT have been simulated. SiO2 as a surface passivation layer including interface traps and fixed charges has been considered in the analysis. Simulation result shows that the fixed charges influence the breakdown voltage significantly more than the interface traps. It also shows that the positive fixed charges reduce the breakdown voltage more than the negative fixed charges. The combination of interface traps and fixed charges must be considered when optimizing the breakdown voltage.

  • Optimal Emitter Cell Geometry in High Power 4H-SiC BJTs
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: IEEE Electron Device Letters. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). - 0741-3106 .- 1558-0563. ; 36:10, s. 1069-1072
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Three 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistor designs with different emitter cell geometries (linear interdigitated fingers, square cell geometry, and hexagon cell geometry) are fabricated, analyzed, and compared with respect to current gain, ON-resistance (R-ON), current density (J(C)), and temperature performance for the first time. Emitter size effect and surface recombination are investigated. Due to a better utilization of the base area, optimal emitter cell geometry significantly increases the current density about 42% and reduces the ON-resistance about 21% at a given current gain, thus making the device more efficient for high-power and high-temperature applications.

  • Progress in buried grid technology for improvements in on-resistance of high voltage SiC devices
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: ECS Transactions. - : The Electrochemical Society. - 9781607685395 ; , s. 183-190
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Buried grid technology is suggested to protect field sensitive device areas from high electric field in order to improve the high temperature and high voltage performance of SiC devices. More than three orders of magnitude lower leakage currents have been demonstrated at high temperature operation. The drawback is that the total resistance increases due to the introduction of the buried grid leading to higher voltage drop at rated current and higher conduction losses. In this paper, we discuss doping and barrier engineering methods in order to take full advantage of the superior shielding effect of the buried grid technology and at the same time minimize the effect on the current conduction. As example, the design considerations for a 1200 V SiC buried grid JBS diode in terms of epi structure doping as well as buried grid properties is comprehensively investigated to optimize the on-state condition.

  • Electrical characterization of integrated 2-input TTL NAND Gate at elevated temperature, fabricated in bipolar SiC-technology
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials, ICSCRM 2017. - : Trans Tech Publications Inc.. - 9783035711455 ; , s. 958-961
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This work presents the design and electrical characterization of in-house-fabricated 2-input NAND gate. The monolithic bipolar 2-input NAND gate employing transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is demonstrated in 4H-SiC and operates over a wide range of temperature and supply voltage. The fabricated circuit was characterized on the wafer by using a hot-chuck probe-station from 25 °C up to 500 °C. The circuit is also characterized over a wide range of voltage supply i.e. 11 to 20 V. The output-noise margin high (NMH) and output-noise margin low (NML) are also measured over a wide range of temperatures and supply voltages using voltage transfer characteristics (VTC). The transient response was measured by applying two square waves of, 5 kHz and 10 kHz. It is demonstrated that the dynamic parameters of the circuit are temperature dependent. The 2-input TTL NAND gate consumes 20 mW at 500 °C and 15 V.
