AI Technical Summary
Existing silicon carbide MOSFET devices suffer from increased switching power consumption and low energy transfer efficiency under high temperature, high voltage and high frequency environments. In particular, the external parallel diode increases the module area and packaging cost, while the internal integration of SBD or JBS still has the problem of a large turn-on voltage.
Integrating an HJD structure within a silicon carbide UMOSFET device, by forming a heterojunction contact between the polysilicon layer and the epitaxial layer, replaces the existing SBD or JBS structure, thereby reducing the barrier difference to lower the turn-on voltage and reduce switching losses.
This achieves lower turn-on voltage and switching losses, improves energy conversion efficiency, and enhances the device's withstand voltage and integration density.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to a silicon carbide UMOSFET device integrated with an HJD and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material, which has a wider band gap, a larger saturated electron drift velocity and a higher thermal conductivity than traditional silicon materials, and is more suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure and high-frequency environments.
[0003] Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) have a series of advantages such as high integration density, good thermal stability and strong radiation resistance, and are widely used in power electronic systems. Silicon carbide MOSFETs, as a new type of third-generation semiconductor device, have lower conduction loss, higher voltage resistance and greater power density than silicon MOSFETs and even silicon IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) devices, that is, silicon carbide MOSFETs have significant performance advantages and great development potential.
[0004] U-shaped trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (UMOSFETs) have the advantages of small on-resistance and small cell size compared with DMOSFETs.
[0005] Silicon carbide MOSFETs mainly act as electronic switches in power electronic systems; when they are in the on state, the lifetime of the parasitic PIN diode in the drift region increases, and the reverse recovery deteriorates sharply, which can lead to increased switching power consumption and reduced energy transmission efficiency. Therefore, a diode needs to be connected in parallel outside the silicon carbide MOSFET or integrated inside the silicon carbide MOSFET to improve the performance of the silicon carbide MOSFET body diode and improve the working efficiency of the silicon carbide MOSFET.
[0006] The silicon carbide MOSFET body reverse parallel diode can greatly improve the performance of the silicon carbide MOSFET body diode, but will increase the area of the whole module, improve the packaging cost of the device, and introduce parasitic capacitance and parasitic inductance, therefore, the existing technology integrates a Schottky barrier diode (SBD) or a junction barrier Schottky diode (JBS) in the silicon carbide MOSFET, but the internal integration of the SBD or the JBS still has a large opening voltage, therefore, it is urgent to improve the opening voltage of the silicon carbide MOSFET in the prior art.
