We have made a 4H-SiC RF power MOSFETs with cutoff frequency up to 12 GHz, delivering RF power of 1.9 W/mm at 3 GHz. The transistors withstand 200 V drain voltage, are normally-off, and show no gate lag, which is often encountered in SiC MESFETs. The measured devices have a single drain finger and a double gate finger and a total gate width of 0.8 mm. To our knowledge this is the first time that power densities above 1 W/mm at 3 GHz are reported for SiC MOSFETs.

We present new results on 4H-SiC RF power MOSFETs. By improvements in device layout we obtain better high frequency performance compared to the first generation of devices. An extrinsic transition frequency fT=11.4 GHz was achieved and fmax=11.2 GHz for a device with 0.5 µm nominal channel length. Functional devices with 0.3 µm nominal channel length were also made. These devices gave fT=15.1 GHz and fmax=19.5 GHz but they have lower breakdown voltages and therefore lower overall performance. The measured devices are double fingered with 0.8 mm total gate width.
