A new high-voltage rectifier structure, a planarized silicon Trench Sidewall OXide Merged P-i-n Schottky (TSOX-MPS) rectifier is described. This TSOX-MPS rectifier exhibits a far superior switching performance, compared to the p-in rectifier, for the same reverse leakage current and on-state voltage. In addition, for the same lifetime, the reverse leakage current of the TSOX-MPS rectifier is equal to that of the p-i-n rectifier, not so much sensitive than the MPS rectifier does. These aspects of the TSOX-MPS rectifier have been experimentally verified, by fabrication of 400 V TSOX-MPS rectifiers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
