Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular to a method for detecting channel mobility and photolithography variation of a MOS device. Background Art

[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) is currently the fastest-growing wide-bandgap power semiconductor device. Its physical and electrical properties surpass those of traditional silicon, making it a crucial component in clean energy power electronics. Silicon carbide's vertical trench-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), with its non-polar channel surface, offers higher mobility and greater cell integration. This makes SiC trench MOSFETs a research hotspot for next-generation low-power electronic devices, promising applications in new energy vehicles, locomotive traction, photovoltaics, and smart grids.

[0003] However, the channel carrier mobility of silicon carbide trench MOSFETs remains difficult to characterize during the actual fabrication process. In traditional planar MOSFET structures, the channel is located on the wafer surface, so the channel mobility can be obtained by designing lateral MOSFET devices with different gate lengths and using data fitting. This becomes very difficult in silicon carbide trench structures, especially since the current silicon carbide MOSFET channel length is submicron (usually around 0.5μm). By increasing the number of photolithography times and etching structures of different depths, or adding ion implantation process technology to design specific structures, the channel mobility of silicon carbide trench MOS devices is evaluated. This method becomes more complicated and is greatly affected by indirect parameter fluctuations. At the same time, the channel mobility of silicon carbide MOS devices gradually decreases with increasing gate voltage, so the mobility obtained by converting using simple mathematical and physical formulas lacks sufficient credibility.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to find a suitable method for detecting the channel mobility of silicon carbide trench structure MOS. Summary of the Invention
