MOS devices are basic energy conversion devices in power electronic equipment, which determine the size, efficiency and weight of power electronic equipment. MOS devices using SiC have excellent frequency characteristics, low on-resistance, high switching speed and low switching loss, which makes them widely used in industrial control, motor drive, automotive electronics, inverters and various fields.

In addition, the manufacturing process of the SiC MOS device uses photolithography alignment technology, and the channel length of the SiC MOS device is greatly affected by the photolithography process error, so that the on-resistance and threshold voltage of the SiC MOS device change greatly, and the controllability of the manufacturing process is poor, and further the quality of the SiC MOS device is affected to a certain extent.
