• Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a novel structure of 4H‐SiC bipolar junction transistor (BJT) to realize high current gain, high current gain stability, and high breakdown voltage.

  Design/methodology/approach – A novel structure of 4H‐SiC BJT with floating buried layer in the base epilayer is presented. The simulation and optimization are done using the TCAD tool.

  Findings – This novel structure is increasing the current gain effectively, at the same time, the current gain stability and breakdown voltage are higher comparing with the conventional structure.

  Originality/value – The paper proposes a new “4H‐SiC FBL‐BJT” with high current gain, high current gain stability and high breakdown voltage.
