In the past, gate turn-off (GTO) thyristors were commonly used to either increase the length of the drift region or reduce the doping concentration to increase high-voltage and high-power applications. However, this results in an on-resistance (Ron) increase. In this study, we applied a supercritical fluid (SCF) treatment to devices which has the advantage of high permeability and low-temperature processing to passivate SiC-GTO bulk defects. After the proposed defect passivation, the breakdown voltage has been improved by 8% without increasing on-state resistance. In addition, the leakage current has also been suppressed more than 30% in average. This study also uses electrical analysis to understand the characteristics of the devices after SCF treatment, and then discusses the passivation mechanism of materials of the devices from this treatment.
