Abstract
In a general aspect, a power semiconductor device can include a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate and a SiC epi-layer disposed on the SiC substrate. The device can also include a first well region, a second well region disposed in the SiC epi-layer, a first source region disposed in the first well region, and a second source region disposed in the second well region. The device can further include a gate structure disposed on the SiC epi-layer and extending between the first source region and the second source region. The gate structure can include a hybrid gate dielectric. The hybrid gate dielectric can include a first high-k dielectric material and a second high-k dielectric material. The device can also include a conductive gate electrode disposed on the hybrid gate dielectric.
