Abstract :
A device concept for an SiC MOSFET of 5 kV·3 kA class is proposed. As the first step in developing the device, a 2 kV SiC UMOSFET with a punch-through structure has been designed and fabricated. The fabricated UMOSFET has a high breakdown voltage of 1.4 kV and a low specific on-resistance of 311 mΩ.cm2 at room temperature, and surpasses Si´s theoretical limit of relationships between breakdown voltage and specific on-resistance
