  • Method for manufacturing a silicon carbide device
    Patent number: 12176207
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure, the method comprises: providing a non-planar surface in the manufacturing of a silicon carbide (SiC) device; depositing a reflowable dielectric material on said non-planar surface; and heating said reflowable dielectric material to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cause reflowing of said reflowable dielectric material and thereby provide a dielectric layer comprising a substantially planar surface, wherein said dielectric layer is substantially free of voids.
    Type: Grant
