摘要: In this paper we report on a novel structure of 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistor with a double base epilayer that is continuously grown. The measured dc common-emitter current gain is 16.8 at IC=28.6 mA (JC=183.4 A/cm2), and it increases with the collector current density increasing. The specific on-state resistance (Rsp-on) is 32.3 mΩ·cm2 and the open-base breakdown voltage reaches 410 V. The emitter N-type specific contact resistance and N + emitter layer sheet resistance are 1.7× 10-3 Ω·cm2 and 150 Ω /□, respectively.
