Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in the case where the n-type drift layer is thinned in order to reduce the on-resistance, the extension of the depletion layer in the off state becomes short, thereby becoming easy to reach the breakdown electric field strength at a low applied voltage, And the withstand voltage drops
On the other hand, in order to increase the withstand voltage of the vertical MOSFET, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the n-type drift layer, resulting in an increase in the on-resistance
Such a relationship between on-resistance and withstand voltage is called a trade-off relationship, and it is usually difficult to improve the two in the trade-off relationship at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a super junction silicon carbide semiconductor device and a manufacturing method of the super junction silicon carbide semiconductor device. Background technique [0002] In a normal n-channel vertical MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor: Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistor), the n-type conduction layer (drift layer) has the highest resistance among multiple semiconductor layers formed in the semiconductor substrate. semiconductor layer. The resistance of the n-type drift layer has a great influence on the on-resistance of the entire vertical MOSFET. By reducing the thickness of the n-type drift layer and shortening the current path, it is possible to reduce the on-resistance of the entire vertical MOSFET. [0003] However, the vertical MOSFET also has the function of maintaining a withstand voltage by expanding the depletion layer to the high-resistance n-type drift layer in the off state. Therefore...
