In this paper, a 13-kV SiC MOSFET with a retrograde doping profile in junction field-effect transistor (JFET) regions, which were implanted by nitrogen ions with multiple energies, has been developed for power supplies of X-ray generators and electron guns with an accelerating voltage greater than 10 kV. A JFET region was optimized with device simulation to reduce on-resistance. A SiC MOSFET with an optimized JFET region was fabricated with a 5 mm × 5 mm die size. The specific on-resistance (R<inf>onA</inf>) was estimated to be 169 mΩ·cm<sup>2</sup>. The blocking voltage (BV<inf>DSS</inf>) of 13.1 kV was obtained at 10 μA/cm<sup>2</sup>. Owing to a low electric field in the gate oxide (E<inf>ox</inf>), a threshold voltage (V<inf>th</inf>) shift within ± 0.06 V was achieved at the gate voltage of −15 V (equal to an electric field of −3 MV/cm) and 200 °C for 1000 hours. The dynamic test with inductive load resulted in turn-off and turn-on switching speeds of 75 kV/μs and 114 kV/μs, respectively, for the DC bus voltage of 10 kV at room temperature.
