Silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs) enable high-voltage and high-temperature power conversion. Compared to Si devices, they suffer from pronounced gate leakage due to the reduced electron…

Extensive theoretical and experimental work has established high-fidelity electron shuttling in Si/SiGe systems, whereas demonstrations in Si/SiO2 (SiMOS) remain at an early stage. To help address this, we perform full 3D simulations of…

The gate oxide lifetime in 4H-SiC power MOSFETs is typically assessed at fixed and constant gate bias stress, monitoring the time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB).

A widely used technique to mitigate the gate leakage in the ultra-scaled metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is the use of high-k dielectrics, which provide the same equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) as $\rm SiO_2$,…
