Abstract(in English) Through recent progress in SiC growth technology, various prototype SiC electronic devices have been realized. In particular, SiC is ideally suited for high-voltage and low-loss power devices which are used in power electronic systems such as power supply and motor control. 600 V SiC Schottky barrier diodes are now commercially available, and the next target is obviously high-performance SiC transistors like power MOSFETs. On the other hand, for very high voltage applications above 3 kV, SiC bipolar devices such as PiN diodes, thyristors, and IGBTs will be required, because the conductivity modulation effect can greatly suppress the increase of on-resistance for high-voltage devices. However, there still remain various issues which should be addressed, and fundamental understanding of process and device physics in SiC is very limited. ln the present paper, the author reviews crystal growth, material characterization, ion implantation, and MOS technologies in SiC. Recent development of SiC power devices and future prospects will be also presented.
