Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial layer disposed on a SiC layer, wherein the SiC epitaxial layer has a first conductivity-type and the SiC layer has a second conductivity-type that is opposite to the first conductivity-type. The integrated circuit also includes a junction isolation feature disposed in the SiC epitaxial layer and having the second conductivity-type. The junction isolation feature extends vertically through a thickness of the SiC epitaxial layer and contacts the SiC layer, and wherein the junction isolation feature has a depth of at least about 2 micrometers (μm).
