4H-SiC Trench-type Accumulation Super Barrier Rectifier(TASBR) for Low Forward Voltage drop

Abstract

SiC devices have drawn much attentions for its wide band gap material properties. Especially 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diode is widely used for its rapid switching speed and low forward voltage drop. However, the low reliability of Schottky barrier diode has many problems that Super Barrier Rectifier(SBR) was researched for alternative. makes 4H-SiC trench-type accumulation super barrier rectifier(TASBR) is analyzed and proposed in this paper. We could verified that forward voltage drop was improved 21.06% without severe degradation of reverse breakdown voltage and leakage current based on the results from 2-D numerical simulations. With this novel rectifier structure, we can expect application with less power loss.
