Abstract

The invention discloses an enhanced silicon carbide MOSFET device. The enhanced silicon carbide MOSFET device sequentially comprises back metal, an N+ type heavily doped SiC substrate, an N- epitaxiallayer, an insulating dielectric layer and front metal from bottom to top. According to the invention, a Schottky diode is integrated into the MOSFET device, and the area of a Schottky barrier metal layer is flexibly increased or decreased to adjust and adapt to the current and specification of the MOSFET and the Schottky diode, so that the effects of increasing the switching speed of the MOSFET,reducing the switching loss and the like are achieved, the performance and the reliability of the device can be greatly improved, and the application cost of the device is reduced. The enhanced silicon carbide MOSFET device adopts a trench SiC MOSFET design, and a conductive channel is changed from the traditional horizontal direction to the vertical direction, so that a JFET effect between primitive cells of the traditional MOSFET is eliminated, and the current capability of the device is improved. The gate bottom P region at the bottom of the trench can protect and weaken an electric field at the bottom of the trench, thereby playing a certain role in electrostatic shielding of gate oxide at the bottom of the trench, and improving the reliability of the device. Meanwhile, certain help isprovided for voltage resistance of the device.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor chip manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to an enhanced silicon carbide MOSFET device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique

[0002] The third-generation semiconductor material silicon carbide (SiC) has many characteristics different from traditional silicon semiconductor materials. Its energy band gap is 2.8 times that of silicon, reaching 3.09 electron volts; its insulation breakdown field strength is 5.3 times that of silicon, up to 3.2 MV / cm, its thermal conductivity is 3.3 times that of silicon, which is 49w / cm·K. This makes it an ideal semiconductor material for high temperature, high frequency, high power, and radiation-resistant applications. Since silicon carbide power devices can significantly reduce the energy consumption of electronic equipment, silicon carbide power devices have been widely used in the field of new energy.
