A High-Performance SiC Super-Junction MOSFET With a Step-Doping Profile

In this article, we investigate a 4H-SiC super- junction (SJ) MOSFET structure with a charge-imbalance doping-profile. According to our numerical simulations and comparisons with the conventional SiC VDMOS (C-VDMOS) and SiC SJ VDMOS (SJ-VDMOS) devices, the SJ-MOD structure offers a better trade-off...
