Abstrakt: New and original medium power multi-terminal SiC monolithic converter architectures are investigated with vertical switching cells based on SiC JBS diodes and VDMOS transistors. 2D TCAD and mixed-mode Sentaurus™ simulations are performed to optimize switching structures as Buck, Boost, H-bridge high-side row chip common drain-type and low-side row chip common source-type. The proper operation in the turn-on and turn-off of each cell is also studied and validated. To fabricate these new monolithic integrated architectures, two main technological bricks have been developed, for vertical insulation and the integration of a top Ni metal via. To achieve the vertical insulation deep trenches are necessary combining dry plasma and wet KOH electrochemical etching through the thick N+ substrate.
