Power semiconductor devices having selectively doped JFET regions and related methods of forming such devices
Semiconductor switching devices include a wide band-gap drift layer having a first conductivity type (e.g., n-type), and first and second wide band-gap well regions having a second conductivity type (e.g., p-type) on the wide band-gap drift layer. First and second wide band-gap source/drain regions of the first conductivity type are on the first and second wide band-gap well regions, respectively. A wide band-gap JFET region having the first conductivity type is provided between the first and second well regions. This JFET region includes a first local JFET region that is adjacent a side surface of the first well region and a second local JFET region that is adjacent a side surface of the second well region. The local JFET regions have doping concentrations that exceed a doping concentration of a central portion of the JFET region that is between the first and second local JFET regions of the JFET region.
