Abstract
Gallium oxide ($Ga_2O_3$) and silicon carbide (SiC) are the material with the wide band gap ($Ga_2O_3-4.8{\sim}4.9eV$, SiC-3.3 eV). These electronic properties allow high blocking voltage. In this work, we investigated the characteristic of $Ga_2O_3$ and 4H-SiC vertical depletion-mode metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. We demonstrated that the blocking voltage and on-resistance of vertical DMOSFET is dependent with structure. The structure of $Ga_2O_3$ and 4H-SiC vertical DMOSFET was designed by using a 2-dimensional device simulation (ATLAS, Silvaco Inc.). As a result, 4H-SiC and $Ga_2O_3$ vertical DMOSFET have similar blocking voltage ($Ga_2O_3-1380V$, SiC-1420 V) and then when gate voltage is low, $Ga_2O_3-DMOSFET$ has lower on-resistance than 4H-SiC-DMOSFET, however, when gate voltage is high, 4H-SiC-DMOSFET has lower on-resistance than $Ga_2O_3-DMOSFET$. Therefore, we concluded that the material of power device should be considered by the gate voltage.
