Abstract

See full text

A MOSFET includes a first SiC semiconductor contact layer, a SiC semiconductor channel layer supported by the first SiC contact layer, and a second SiC semiconductor contact layer supported by the channel layer. The second contact and channel layers are patterned to form a plurality of gate region grooves therethrough. Each of the gate region grooves includes a base surface and side surfaces which are covered with groove oxide material. A plurality of metal gate layers are provided, each being supported in a respective one of the plurality of grooves. A plurality of deposited oxide layers are provided, each in a respective one of the grooves so as to be supported by a respective one of the plurality of metal gate layers. A first metal contact layer is applied to the surface of the first SiC contact layer, and a second metal contact layer is applied to a portion of the surface of the second SiC contact layer.
