Abstract

A silicon carbide metal-insulator semiconductor field effect transistor having a u-shaped gate trench and an n-type silicon carbide drift layer. A p-type region is formed in the silicon carbide drift layer and extends below the bottom of the u-shaped gate trench so as to prevent field crowding at the comer of the gate trench. A unit cell of a metal-insulator semiconductor transistor having a bulk single crystal silicon carbide substrate of n-type conductivity silicon carbide. A first epitaxial layer of n-type conductivity silicon carbide and a second epitaxial layer of p-type conductivity silicon carbide formed on the first epitaxial layer. A first trench is formed which extends downward through the second epitaxial layer and into the first epitaxial layer. A second trench, adjacent the first trench, is also formed extending downward through the second epitaxial layer and into the first epitaxial layer. A region of n-type conductivity silicon carbide is formed between the first and second trenches and having an upper surface opposite the second epitaxial layer. An insulator layer is formed in the first trench where the upper surface of the gate insulator layer formed on the bottom of the first trench is below the lower surface of the second epitaxial layer. A region of p-type conductivity silicon carbide is formed in the first epitaxial layer below the second trench. Gate and source contacts are formed in the first and second trenches respectively and a drain contact is formed on the substrate.
Preferably the gate insulator layer is an oxide such that the transistor formed is a metal-oxide field effect transistor.
