SiC Fin-Shaped Gate Trench MOSFET with Integrated Schottky Diode

A silicon carbide (SiC) trench MOSFET featuring fin-shaped gate and integrated Schottky barrier diode under split P type shield (SPS) protection (FS-TMOS) is proposed by finite element modeling. The physical mechanism of FS-TMOS is studied comprehensively in terms of fundamental (blocking, conductio...
