5890 results about "Field effect" patented technology

In physics, the field effect refers to the modulation of the electrical conductivity of a material by the application of an external electric field. In a metal, the electron density that responds to applied fields is so large that an external electric field can penetrate only a very short distance into the material. However, in a semiconductor the lower density of electrons (and possibly holes) that can respond to an applied field is sufficiently small that the field can penetrate quite far into the material. This field penetration alters the conductivity of the semiconductor near its surface, and is called the field effect. The field effect underlies the operation of the Schottky diode and of field-effect transistors, notably the MOSFET, the JFET and the MESFET.

Pi-type trench gate silicon carbide mosfet device and fabrication method thereof

The disclosure relates to a π type trench gate silicon carbide MOSFET device and a fabrication method thereof. To protect a trench gate oxide layer without increasing a channel resistance and process complexity, a second conductivity type of heavily doped deep well inserted with double gate trenches along the sidewalls of deep well is designed. The deep well is connected to the source metal directly. The electric potential is clamped to the source during the voltage blocking and turn-off state, which reduces the electric field in the gate oxide and reduces the miller capacitance. An interlayer dielectric layer is deposited above the conductive dielectric polysilicon layers and extends outward separately to cover a part of the source region. A smaller cell pitch can be achieved by controlling the spacing between the first and the second trench gate, thereby increasing the channel density and reducing the channel resistance.
