GALLIUM NITRIDE AND SILICON CARBIDE HYBRID POWER DEVICE

Abstract:

A hybrid silicon carbide (SiC) device includes a first device structure having a first substrate comprising SiC of a first conductivity type and a first SiC layer of the first conductivity type, where the first SiC layer is formed on a face of the first substrate. The first device structure also includes a second SiC layer of a second conductivity type that is formed on a face of the first SiC layer and a first contact region of the first conductivity type, where the first contact region traverses the second SiC layer and contacts the first SiC. The device also includes a second device structure that is bonded to the first device structure. The second device structure includes a switching device formed on a second substrate and a second contact region that traverses a first terminal region of the switching device and contacts the first contact region.
