  • Patent number: 6225680
    Abstract: The SiC semiconductor structure contains at least three semiconductor regions. The surface area of the third semiconductor region encompasses that of the second semiconductor region as a second partial area, which in turn encloses the surface of the first semiconductor region as a first partial area. The contour of the edge of the second partial area is determined by the contour of the edge of the first partial area to the effect that the second partial area can be represented essentially as a specially enlarged mapping of the first partial area, the deviation of the contour of the edge of the second partial area from the exact contour that results in the course of the mapping being at most ±10 nm.

  • Patent number: 6204135
    Abstract: A thin-film system is deposited onto a surface of a semiconductor region. After at least one window has been opened in the thin-film system, the window serves as a mask for a first selective processing of a first semiconductor partial region. By undercutting the thin-film system, the edge of the window is drawn back approximately uniformly by a mean undercutting depth. The at least one enlarged window serves as a mask for a second selective processing of a second semiconductor partial region. A semiconductor structure is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6097039
    Abstract: An SiC channel region of a semiconductor configuration, as a result of misoriented epitaxial growth on its surface, is formed with mutually parallel elevations. The flow of electric current in the channel region is set parallel with the elevations. As a result, a high degree of charge-carrier mobility in the channel region is obtained.
