Research abstract
SiC Integrated Circuits (IC's) offer the potential for operation over a wide temperature range (77 K to 800 K), and high-radiation environments. In this proposal, we outline a program to transfer and mature patented SiC epitaxy and device technology for use in SiC JFET IC's from Mississippi State University to SemiSouth Laboratories. The result will be precise controlled epitaxy layers (doping and thickness) in SiC, with abrupt transitions between n-type channel and heavily doped p-type gate regions, as well as demonstration of JFET IC's in SiC.
