A power device includes a silicon carbide substrate. A gate is provided on a first side of the silicon carbide substrate. 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.

Power device with graded channel

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 power semiconductor device includes a substrate having an edge, an insulating layer disposed over the substrate, a metal layer disposed over the insulating layer and including a first portion and a second portion, a coating layer disposed over the metal layer, and a protective layer covering the substrate, the insulating layer, the metal layer, and the coating layer. The first portion has a first thickness and the second portion has a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness, and the second portion is disposed farther apart from the edge of the substrate than the first portion.
