Power 6H- and 4H-SiC DIMOS test structures have been fabricated using a new
technology. P-well formation was optimised from simulation study and previ
ous experiments on high-energy Al implantation. Reduction of Al presence at
interface and reduced defect formation during implantation were the main o
bjectives of this optimisation. Complementary surface implantation of boron
was performed to adjust the interface (channel) doping. Power DIMOS were c
haracterised at ambient temperature and up to 320 degreesC. 4H-SiC DIMOS ex
hibits very poor characteristics while 6H-SiC device functionality is maint
ained at 300 degreesC. Power DIMOS without complementary boron implantation
also exhibits good performances up to 300 degreesC. (C) 2001 Published by
