Abstract: In a general aspect, a semiconductor device can include a substrate of a first conductivity type, an active region disposed in the substrate, and a termination region disposed in the substrate adjacent to the active region. The termination region can include a junction termination extension (JTE) of a second conductivity type, where the second conductivity type is opposite the first conductivity type. The JTE can have a first depletion stopper region disposed in an upper portion of the JTE, a second depletion stopper region disposed in a lower portion of the JTE, and a high carrier mobility region disposed between the first depletion stopper region and the second depletion stopper region.

Abstract: A SiC MOSFET device with alternating p-well widths, including an undulating channel, is described. The undulating channel provides current paths of multiple widths, which enables optimization of on-resistance, transconductance, threshold voltage, and channel length. The multi-width p-well region further defines corresponding multi-width Junction FETs (JFETs). The multi-width JFETs enable improved response to a short-circuit event. A high breakdown voltage is obtained by distributing a high electric field in a JFET of a first width into a JFET of a second width.

A graded channel includes a first region having a first dopant concentration and a second region having a second dopant concentration, the second dopant concentration being greater than the first dopant concentration.
