This report describes more than 5000 hours of successful 500 °C operation of semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) with more than 100 transistors. Multiple packaged chips with two different 4H-SiC junction field effect transistor (JFET) technology demonstrator circuits have surpassed thousands of hours of oven-testing at 500 °C. After 100 hours of 500 °C burn-in, the circuits (except for 2 failures) exhibit less than 10% change in output characteristics for the remainder of 500 °C testing. We also describe the observation of important differences in IC materials durability when subjected to the first nine constituents of Venus-surface atmosphere at 9.4 MPa and 460 °C in comparison to what is observed for Earth-atmosphere oven testing at 500 °C.

In this paper, avalanche ruggedness of the commercial 1.2kV 45mΩ asymmetric silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is investigated by single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) test. The avalanche safe operation area (SOA) of the MOSFET is established. The impact of inductance and temperature on avalanche capability is exhibited, which is valuable for many application circuits. The variation in critical avalanche energy with peak avalanche current, peak avalanche current with avalanche time, and temperatures dependence of critical avalanche energy are confirmed.

A hybrid silicon-carbide junction-gate field-effect transistor (HJT: hybrid JFET) is proposed. The HJT consists of a silicon-carbide (SiC) normally-on vertical JFET and a low-voltage normally-off silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (Si-MOS: silicon MOSFET). These two devices are connected by bonding wire as a cascode circuit [1] and packaged in a TO-3P split-lead-frame package with the same pin arrangement as conventional silicon power devices, which can thus be easily replaced by the proposed HJT. The vertical JFET has a steep-junction deep-trench structure in its channel region. This structure gives a low on-state resistance of under 60 mΩ and breakdown voltage of over 600 V with the die size of 6.25 mm2. Since the deep-trench structure also lowers the cutoff voltage of the JFET, required minimum breakdown voltage of the Si-MOS is reduced and on-state resistance of the Si-MOS is lowered. The HJT demonstrated on-state resistance of 69 mΩ and breakdown voltage of 783 V. These results indicate that the proposed HJT is a strong candidate for low-resistance high-power switching devices.
