Preparation method of high k-gate dielectric layer and silicon carbide MOS power device

Abstract

The present invention provides a preparation method of a high k-gate dielectric layer and a silicon carbide MOS power device. The preparation method comprises the steps of: performing high-temperaturesacrificial oxidation of a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer with a first conductive type, and forming a sacrificial oxidation layer at the upper surface of the epitaxial layer of the silicon carbide epitaxial wafer; performing corrosion of the sacrificial oxidation layer until the sacrificial oxidation layer on the epitaxial layer is completely removed; performing high-temperature surfacing processing of the upper surface of the epitaxial layer after removal of the sacrificial oxidation layer, and forming a smooth passivated surface; and depositing an Al2O3 dielectric coating layer, a LaAlO3 dielectric layer and an Al2O3 dielectric coating layer at the smooth passivated surface in order, performing annealing of a laminated structure formed by the Al2O3 dielectric coating layer, the LaAlO3dielectric layer and the Al2O3 dielectric coating layer, and forming a high k-gate dielectric layer. Compared to the prior art, the preparation method of the high k-gate dielectric layer and the silicon carbide MOS power device can reduce the interface defects caused by impurities and / or surface lattice defects at a SiC / SiO2 interface so as to improve the voltage endurance capability of the gate dielectric layer.
