Abstract
A method of producing a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of transistor cells in a SiC substrate and electrically connected in parallel to form a transistor having a specified operating temperature range. Forming each transistor cell includes forming a gate structure having a gate electrode, and a gate dielectric stack separating the gate electrode from the SiC substrate and including a ferroelectric insulator. The method further includes doping the ferroelectric insulator with a doping material such that the Curie temperature of the ferroelectric insulator is in a range above the specified operating temperature range of the transistor.
