Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular to a SiC MOSFET with optimized forward and reverse conduction characteristics and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The development of power electronic systems has put forward higher requirements on the performance of power semiconductor devices. At present, silicon-based power semiconductor devices occupy the main market share of power devices. However, due to the limitations of silicon material properties, the performance of silicon-based power devices has reached its theoretical limit.

[0003] As a representative of the third generation of semiconductor materials, silicon carbide (SiC) has advantages such as a larger bandgap, a higher critical breakdown electric field, and a higher thermal conductivity. Therefore, SiC power devices have obvious advantages in high power and high temperature fields. SiC MOSFET power devices with a planar gate structure have been commercialized, and their market share is also expanding.

[0004] The schematic diagram of the mainstream planar gate SiC MOSFET cell is as follows Figure 3 As shown, it includes drain 1, substrate 2, epitaxial layer 3, well region 4, source region 5, contact region 6, gate dielectric 9, gate 8, isolation dielectric 10 and source 11, and conductive channels C1 and C2 are formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer, and the gate is used to control the opening of the conductive channel. However, with the sharp increase in market demand, downstream manufacturers have higher and higher requirements for the performance of SiC MOSFET devices. There are several problems in the application field of planar gate SiC MOSFET power devices. First, the existing planar gate SiC MOSFET is limited by the cell size, and the channel density is difficult to further increase, resulting in the difficulty of further reducing the on-resistance of the device. Second, the conductive channels C1 and C2 of the existing planar gate SiC MOSFET are located on the surface of the epitaxial layer, so the channel is easily affected by the subsequent process, causing the problem of unstable threshold voltage. Third, when the existing SiC MOSFET device works in the third quadrant, it relies on the body diode to achieve freewheeling, which will inevitably cause bipolar degradation effect and damage the reverse recovery characteristics.
