Abstract

The invention relates to the field of power semiconductors, and particularly provides a SiC power device integrated with a fast recovery diode. The SiC power device comprises a SiC MOSFET and a SiC IGBT, wherein for the SiC MOSFET device integrated with a PN junction body diode, the reverse recovery charge and related loss of the body diode can be greatly reduced, the reverse recovery peak currentis reduced, and the EMI noise is reduced; for a reverse conducting SiC IGBT integrated with a PN junction body diode, the reverse recovery charge and related loss of the body diode can be greatly reduced, the reverse recovery peak current is reduced, and the EMI noise is reduced; and meanwhile, by arranging an anode deep groove at the bottom and designing the depth of the anode deep groove and the distance between the grooves, the resistance of an electron flowing path is adjusted, and the output characteristic of the reverse conducting IGBT can enter a bipolar working mode without turning ina unit cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of power semiconductors, and specifically provides a SiC power device with low turn-on voltage drop, fast turn-off characteristics and integrated reverse fast recovery diode, including SiC MOSFET and SiC IGBT. Background technique [0002] As a new generation of power semiconductor devices, SiC power semiconductor devices have the characteristics of lower conduction loss, faster switching frequency and better thermal characteristics compared with traditional silicon-based devices; as a mainstream product of power semiconductor devices MOSFETs and IGBTs are favored among SiC materials. In MOSFET or IGBT applications, it is often necessary to connect a fast-recovery high-voltage freewheeling diode in anti-parallel. SiC MOSFET itself integrates a PiN body diode, but due to the large band gap of SiC, the inherent conduction voltage drop of its PN junction is about 3V, so the conduction loss of the body diode is very larg...
