  • Photodetector in a silicon carbide integrated circuit
    Patent number: 10910414
    Abstract: An integrated ultraviolet (UV) detector includes a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate, supporting metal oxide field effect transistors (MOSFETs), and PN Junction photodiodes. The MOSFET includes a first drain/source implant in the SiC substrate and a second drain/source implant in the SiC substrate. The P-N junction photodiodes include a blanket oxide over the silicon carbide substrate and the gate, an implant extending into the silicon carbide substrate, and an opening extending through the blanket oxide layer down to the silicon carbide substrate on one side of the gate of the P-N junction photodiode.

  • Silicon carbide integrated circuit including P-N junction photodiode
    Patent number: 10763284
    Abstract: An integrated ultraviolet (UV) detector includes a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate, supporting metal oxide field effect transistors (MOSFETs), Schottky photodiodes, and PN Junction photodiodes. The MOSFET includes a first drain/source implant in the SiC substrate and a second drain/source implant in the SiC substrate. The Schottky photodiodes include another implant in the SiC substrate and a surface metal area configured to pass UV light.
