POWER SILICON CARBIDE BASED MOSFET TRANSISTORS WITH IMPROVED SHORT CIRCUIT CAPABILITIES AND METHODS OF MAKING SUCH DEVICES

Abstract:

A power MOSFET includes a silicon carbide drift region having a first conductivity type, first and second well regions located in upper portions of the silicon carbide drift region that are doped with second conductivity dopants, and a channel region in a side portion of the first well region, an upper portion of the channel region having the first conductivity type, wherein a depth of the first well region is at least 1.5 microns and the depth of the first well region exceeds a distance between the first and second well regions.
