This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of the SiC JBSFET (JBS diode integrated MOSFET). The fabrication of the JBSFET adopted a novel single metal, single thermal treatment process to simultaneously form ohmic contacts on n+, p+ implanted regions, and Schottky contact on the n- 4H-SiC epi-layer. The presented SiC JBSFET uses 40% smaller wafer area because the diode and MOSFET share the edge termination as well as the current conducting drift region. Here, the proposed single chip solution of MOSFET/JBS diode functionalities eliminates the parasitic inductance between separately packaged devices allowing a higher frequency operation in a power converter.
