  • Patent number: 11804537
    Abstract: Methods for fabricating SiC MOSFETs using channeled ion implants are disclosed. By aligning the workpiece such that the ions pass through channels in the SiC hexagonal crystalline structure, it is possible to achieve deeper implants than are otherwise possible. Further, it was found that these channeled implants can be tailored to achieve box-like dopant concentrations. This allows channeled ion implants to be used to create the current spreading layer of the MOSFET, which is conventional fabricated using epitaxial growth. Further, these channeled implants can also be used to create the shields between adjacent transistors. Additionally, the use of channeled implants allows a reduction in the number of epitaxially growth processes that are used to create super junction MOSFETs.

  • Patent number: 11728383
    Abstract: A P-type field effect transistor (PFET) device and a method for fabricating a PFET device using fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI) technology is disclosed. The method includes introducing germanium into the channel layer using ion implantation. This germanium implant increases the axial stress in the channel layer, improving device performance. This implant may be performed at low temperatures to minimize damage to the crystalline structure. Further, rather than using a long duration, high temperature anneal process, the germanium implanted in the channel layer may be annealed using a laser anneal or a rapid temperature anneal. The implanted regions are re-crystallized using the channel layer that is beneath the gate as the seed layer. In some embodiments, an additional oxide spacer is used to further separate the raised source and drain regions from the gate.
