A 4H-SiC lateral double-implanted metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) fi
eld effect transistor is fabricated in a lightly doped n-epilayer on a
n insulating 4H-SiC substrate, After depleting through the epilayer, t
he depletion region continues to move laterally toward the drain, The
result is an increase in blocking voltage compared to a vertical DMOSF
ET fabricated in the same epilayer on a conducting substrate, A blocki
ng voltage of 2.6 kV is obtained. nearly double the highest previously
demonstrated blocking voltage for a SIC MOSFET.
