Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A structure for a Schottky-barrier gate type FET semiconductor device comprising: a single crystal silicon substrate; a first high resistant single crystal silicon carbide layer being boron-doped and disposed on said single crystal silicon substrate, said first high resistant single crystal silicon carbide layer comprising a resistivity of greater than 100 Ωcm; a second silicon carbide layer disposed on said first high resistant single crystal silicon carbide layer for forming an active layer of the semiconductor device, wherein said second silicon carbide layer is electrically insulated from said single crystal silicon substrate by said first high resistant single crystal silicon carbide layer; a first electrode layer disposed on a first portion of said second silicon carbide layer; a source electrode formed from a first portion of said first electrode layer; a drain electrode formed from a second portion of said first electrode layer; and a second electrode layer disposed on a second portion of said second silicon carbide layer for forming a gate electrode.
