[0030] As mentioned in the background technology, there are two main types of discontinuous structure MOSFET devices in the prior art, one is the conventional non-integrated SiC MOSFET device (CMOS, Conventional Metal Oxide Semiconductor), and the other is the discontinuous SiC integrated Schottky diode SiC MOSFET (JBSFET, Junction Barrier SchottkyMOSFET) device. The structural advantage of CMOS is that the well region and the JFET region can be conductive, so the current density can be increased, but its structure does not contain Schottky, so the reverse characteristics are poor; the advantage of JBSFET is that it integrates Schottky diodes and has excellent reverse characteristics, but the JFET region is only used for reverse conduction, and very little current is involved in conduction in the forward direction, wasting the device area.
[0031] In order to solve the above technical problems, according to an embodiment of the present application, a MOSFET device is provided.

[0032] By having a part of the first well region between the first doped region and the first JFET region of the above-mentioned MOSFET device, and the conductive layer covering part of the first JFET region, when the MOSFET device is forward-conducted, the current can smoothly flow through the first doped region of the CMOS structure region of the device to the first JFET region, suppressing the degradation of the on-resistance and participating in the forward conduction; when reverse-conducted, the current passes through the conductive layer of the CJBSFET structure region of the device and enters the first JFET region covered by the conductive layer, and the conductive layer is a Schottky metal that contacts the first JFET region to form a Schottky contact, and then by adjusting the first JFET region to have a higher doping concentration, the current can be expanded more rapidly, showing the excellent reverse characteristic capability of the MOSFET device. The problem that the MOSFET device in the related art cannot take into account both having good reverse characteristics and participating in forward conduction is solved.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the MOSFET device also includes a second well region 42, which is located in the drift layer 20, and the second well region 42 is located on the side of the first JFET region 31 away from the first well region 41, and part of the second well region 42 is located on the side of the conductive layer 60 close to the substrate 10, and the first well region 41 and the second well region 42 have the same doping type.

A portion of the first well region 41 is located between the first JFET region 31 and the first doping region 51, and a portion of the first well region 41 is located between the second JFET region 32 and the first doping region 51. Current flows into the first JFET region 31 and the second JFET region 32 through the first doping region 51 and the first well region 41, and by adjusting the doping concentration of the first JFET region 31, the current can be conducted to the drift layer 20, thereby suppressing the degradation of the on-resistance.
[0037] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the MOSFET device further includes a second doping region 52 , a portion of which is located on a side of the first doping region 51 away from the second JFET region 32 , and another portion of which is located on a side of the first doping region 51 away from the first JFET region 31 , and the second doping region 52 has a second doping type.
[0038] In the above optional implementation, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the doping type of the second doping region 52 can be P type, and the second doping region 52 is semi-surrounded by the first doping region 51.

In the second well region 42, the third doping region 53 is arranged on the side of the fourth doping region 54 away from the first JFET region 31, so that when the device is forward-conducted, the current will not enter the first JFET region 31 through the third doping region 53 and the second well region 42, and then the active region composed of the second well region 42, the third doping region 53 and the fourth doping region 54 is applied to the reverse conduction of the device. Part of the second well region 42 is located between the third doping region 53 and the second JFET region 32, and part of the second well region 42 is located between the fourth doping region 54 and the first JFET region 31.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the gate structure 70 includes a first sub-gate structure 71 and a second sub-gate structure 72, wherein: the first sub-gate structure 71 at least covers another part of the first JFET region 31 and the first well region 41 located between the first doping region 51 and the first JFET region 31, and the first sub-gate structure 71 extends along the first direction X; the second sub-gate structure 72 at least covers the second JFET region 32, the first well region 41 located between the first doping region 51 and the second JFET region 32, and the second well region 42 located between the third doping region 53 and the second JFET region 32, the extension direction of the second sub-gate structure 72 is the same as the extension direction of the second JFET region 32, and the first sub-gate structure 71 and the second sub-gate structure 72 are in contact.
[0043] In the above optional implementation, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a first sub-gate structure 71 covers part of the first JFET region 31, part of the first well region 41 and part of the first doping region 51. More specifically, the structures covered by the first sub-gate structure 71 include: the first JFET region 31, the first well region 41 between the first JFET region 31 and the first doping region 51, the first well region 41 between the second JFET region 32 and the first doping region 51, the first well region 41 between the second JFET region 32 and the third doping region 53, the second well region 42 between the first JFET region 31 and the fourth doping region 54, part of the first doping region 51 and part of the third doping region 53.

The extension direction of the second sub-gate structure 72 is consistent with the extension direction of the second JFET region 32. The current of the MOS device should flow through the first doped region 51, through the first well region 41, and finally enter the first JFET region 31 and the second JFET region 32, wherein the second JFET region 32 is fully covered by the second sub-gate structure 72 and has excellent forward conductivity, a portion of the top of the first JFET region 31 is covered by the first sub-gate structure 71, and the other portion is covered by the conductive layer 60, and the area of the first JFET region 31 covered by the conductive layer 60 makes up for the defect of the MOS device having a degraded on-resistance.
[0044] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the MOSFET device also includes a first electrode 81, a second electrode 82 and a third electrode 83, wherein: the first electrode 81 is located on the side of the first JFET region 31 away from the conductive layer 60; the second electrode 82 is located on the side of the conductive layer 60 away from the first JFET region 31; the third electrode 83 is located on the side of the substrate 10 away from the drift layer 20.

The third electrode 83 is located on the side of the substrate 10 away from the drift layer 20. When the device is in forward conduction, the current flows into the first doping region 51 through the first electrode 81, and flows through the first well region 41, the first JFET region 31 and the drift layer 20 to the back of the device. The current can also flow through the second electrode 82 into the third doping region 53, the second well region 42, the second JFET region 32 and the drift layer 20 to the back of the device, thereby suppressing the degradation of the on-resistance. When the device is in reverse conduction, the current enters the first JFET region 31 through the conductive layer 60 for reverse conduction, and the first JFET region 31 has high doping, so the current can expand rapidly, thereby showing the excellent reverse characteristic capability of the device.

In the reverse bias state, the electrodes of the three parts are all 0V, so the first JFET region 31 between the first well region 41 and the second well region 42 can be completely depleted, and the Schottky withstand voltage characteristics of the device are retained. The gate oxide layer 74 includes two parts. The gate oxide layer 74 of the first part is located on the side of the gate 73 close to the substrate 10 (that is, the bottom surface of the gate structure 70), and the gate oxide layer 74 of the second part is the remaining gate oxide layer 74.
