Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in silicon carbide UMOSFETs, due to the large dielectric constant and high breakdown electric field of silicon carbide, SiO 2 The dielectric constant is small, only 2 / 5 of silicon carbide, according to Gauss's theorem SiO 2 The electric field strength that the layer needs to withstand is about 2.5 times that of silicon carbide, resulting in SiO 2 The electric field at the / SiC interface is very strong, and the equipotential line has an electric field concentration effect at the corner of the gate groove, which leads to a higher peak value of the maximum electric field of the gate oxide layer dielectric, which easily causes premature breakdown of the gate oxide junction dielectric layer and reduces the reliability of the device.
