Problems solved by technology

For the surface type MFZ-JTE (Surface MFZ-JTE, S-MFZ-JTE), on the one hand, since the floating regions of the MFZ are depleted step by step with the voltage, they play the role of dividing the voltage and dividing the field, which makes the maximum of the MFZ-JTE The peak electric field potential shifts to the outside in waves with the doping concentration of JTE, which makes MFZ-JTE unable to achieve the overall electric field balance between the inner and outer floating intervals while controlling the maximum electric field peak, which is reflected in the breakdown characteristics. Narrow "breakdown voltage - JTE doping concentration" figure of merit window lacking sufficient process tolerance; Positive interface charge (composed of fixed oxide charge and slow hole traps, typically 10 12 cm -2 ) will directly act on the S-MFZ-JTE terminal, significantly changing the effective doping charge amount in the terminal region, causing an unstable transmutation of the breakdown voltage of the device, that is, the "breakdown voltage-JTE doping concentration" figure of merit window curve occurs drift
At the same time, S-MFZ-JTE terminals often have a strong surface peak electric field on the surface of the device, which further increases the risk of surface leakage and early breakdown of the device due to the strong electric field under high reverse bias voltage, resulting in reliable reverse withstand voltage of the device. sexual problems
