Patent attributes
A device is described herein. The device comprises a unit cell of a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate. The unit cell comprises: a trench in a well region having a second conduction type. The well region is in contact with a region having a first conduction type to form a p-n junction. A width of the trench is less than 1.0 micrometers (μm). A width of the unit cell is one of less than and equal to 5.0 micrometers (μm). The device comprises a source region comprising the first conduction type. The device further comprises a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor component. The device described herein comprises a reduced unit cell pitch and reduced channel resistance without any compromise in channel length. The device comprises an ILD opening greater than or equal to width of the trench.
