Abstract

A fabrication process for SiC Static Induction Transistors (SITs) is developed and tested. Simulated and measured results of the device are presented. The complete fabrication process involves only 5 lithography steps; due to the self-aligned process used for mesa; ohmic contacts and gates. This makes the process fast and minimize the risk of process errors. Only optical lithography is used in the process; why dimensions are not optimised. Mesa widths of 2; 3; 4 and 5 µm are processed. Since the process is scalable; better performance can be expected with smaller widths achieved by the use electron beam lithography. Preliminary results indicate FET operation with a maximum current density of 110 mA/mm.
