All the trench problems mentioned above are avoided by the planar DMOS
geometry [180]. A cross-section of the DMOSFET structure is provided in
Fig. 4.23. In silicon the p-well and the n+ source regions of DMOSFETs are formed by
double diffusion of p- and n-type dopants through a single oxide implantation and high
temperature implant activation (the name for this device is derived from this double-diffusion process), but this process is impractical in SiC due to the small diffusion
coefficients for impurities in the material.
