Abstract

We have applied the floating junction (FJ) structure, which has been confirmed to be effective in reducing the on-resistance of Si power devices, to SiC FJ Schottky barrier diodes (SiC Super-SBDs). Optimization of the device parameters, which are derived by making improvements in the device simulator, and development of the fabrication process have enabled realization of Super-SBDs with a breakdown voltage of 2700 V and a specific on-resistance of 2.57 mΩ · cm2. These values correspond to the world record of 11.3 GW/cm2 for Baliga's figure-of-merit (BFOM} = 4Vbd2/Ron-sp).
