Optimization is performed on the terminal structure by using the ISE-TCAD. Further analysis shows that this structure can greatly reduce the sensitivity of the breakdown voltage to the doping concentration and can effectively suppress the effect of the interface charge compared with the structure of the junction termination extension. At the same time, the 4H-SiC MPS with this termination structure can reach a high and stable breakdown voltage.展开更多

To understand the influences of 4H-SiC MPS diodes with offset FP on the characteristics, simulations have been done by using ISE TCAD. Related factors of offset FP have been studied as well to optimise the reverse characteristics of 4H SiC MPS diodes. The simulation results show that the device using offset FP can create a higher blocking voltage under reverse bias as compared with that using field guard rings. Besides, the offset FP does not cause any extra steps in the manufacture of MPS diodes.展开更多

The simulated results show that the present model matches the experimental data very well. The influences of the JTE design parameters such as the doping concentration and length of the JTE on the breakdown characteristics are discussed in detail. Then the temperature sensitivity of the forward behaviour is studied in terms of the different designs of 4H--SiC MPS with JTE, which provides a particularly useful guideline for the optimal design of MPS rectifiers with JTE.展开更多

To accurately calculate the reverse characteristics of the 4H SiC MPS diode, the relationship between the electric field at the Schottky contact and the reverse bias is analytically established by solving the cylindrical Poisson equation after the channel has pinched off. The reverse current density calculated from the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin （WKB） theory is verified by comparing it with the experimental result, showing that they are in good agreement with each other. Moreover, the effects of P-region spacing （S） and P-junction depth （Xj） on the characteristics of 4H-SiC MPS are analysed, and are particularly useful for optimizing the design of the high voltage MPS diodes.展开更多

We define a strongly dominated relation between nodes and then we use the relation to merge the network. Based on that, we design a dominated clustering algorithm aiming at finding the critical nodes in the network. Furthermore, this merging process is lossless which means the original structure of the network is kept. In order to realize the visulization of the network, we also apply the lossy consolidation to the network based on detection of the community structures. Simulation results show that compared with six existed centrality algorithms, our algorithm performs better when the attack capacity is limited. The simulations also illustrate our algorithm does better in assortative scale-free networks.展开更多
