The current work investigates the edge termination techniques required to realize SiC Vertical Junction Field Effect Transistor (VJFET). Simulation results obtained using Silvaco TCAD tools have shown that the periphery fingers with metal contacts on them provide a strong electric field. This results in strong leakage, currents in the device in off state at high blocking voltages. However with no source contacts on the dummy fingers the device exhibited much lower leakage currents at same blocking voltages due to the presence of less strong electrical field. The effect of Junction Termination Extension (JTE) for effective edge termination was also studied.
