Process Technology for MOS-Type GaN Devices Offering High Channel Mobility and High Reliability
Toshiba Review

GaN power semiconductor devices are expected to contribute to the realization of small, low-loss power electronics equipment. In particular, MOS-type GaN devices are promising candidates for next-generation power devices that can achieve normally-o­ff operation by themselves in addition to high-speed switching. The Toshiba Group has developed a process technology for MOS-type GaN devices that makes it possible to selectively control the crystallization of an AlN film on the recessed gate structure.

1.2 kV-Class SiC MOSFET Equipped with Embedded SBD for Improvement of Reliability
Toshiba Review

SiC MOSFETs are a key type of power device for power supply units because of the superior performance of SiC materials. However, improvement of the reliability of SiC MOSFETs is hindered by issues associated with low carrier conductivity as a result of increased crystal defects. We have developed a new device structure for 1.2 kV-class SiC MOSFETs that can improve reliability by means of an embedded SBD located in parallel to each pn diode so as to prevent current flowing through the diode.
