REPORT


silicon-based electronics utilize Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) logic, Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs) have advantages over MOS devices in high-temperature, high-radiation, and even high-power applications in that they do not depend on a gate dielectric such as Si0 2 which often degrades in the aforementioned environments. Here, device performance of 4H-SiC JFETs from 294 K to 723 K and limited packaging issues are examined. TABLE I: Key Electronic Properties of Si, 4H-SiC, and GaAs Property
