[0100] An embodiment of the present invention provides a power device, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a power device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 , power devices include:

[0101] A semiconductor body 10, the semiconductor body 10 includes a first surface 01 and a second surface 02 arranged opposite to each other, and the semiconductor body 10 also includes a well region 12 and a contact region 16; the contact region 16 is located on the first surface 01, and the well region 12 is at least located on a side of the contact region 16 adjacent to the second surface 02; a gate structure 20, the gate structure 20 is located on the first surface 01; a first piezoelectric material layer 30, the first piezoelectric material layer 30 is located on a side of the gate structure 20 away from the second surface 02; the first piezoelectric material layer 30 covers the gate structure 20 and a portion of the contact region 16.

[0102] The first electrode layer 40 is located on the second surface 02; the first electrode layer 40 includes a first electrode 41 and a second piezoelectric material layer 42, the second piezoelectric material layer 42 is located on the side of the first electrode 41 away from the second surface 02; the second piezoelectric material layer 42 is provided with a plurality of cavities 421, and the plurality of cavities penetrate the second piezoelectric material layer 42; the first electrode 41 covers the second surface 02, and the first electrode 41 fills the plurality of cavities 421.

[0103] The power device may be a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device, and the contact region 16 includes a first conductive type region 13 and a second conductive type region 14; if the device is an N-type device, the conductivity type of the first conductive type region 13 is N-type, and the conductivity type of the well region 12 and the second conductive type region 14 is P-type; if the device is a P-type device, the conductivity type of the first conductive type region 13 is P-type, and the conductivity type of the well region 12 and the second conductive type region 14 is N-type. The material of the semiconductor body 10 may be SiC, and the power device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a SiC MOSFET device. Figure 1 The gate structure 20 includes a first insulating layer 21 and a first gate 22. The first insulating layer 21 may be a gate oxide layer, such as silicon oxide, and the first gate 22 may be polysilicon.

[0104] The second piezoelectric material layer 42 is provided with a plurality of cavities 421, wherein the plurality of cavities 421 are a plurality of grooves arranged at intervals along a first direction X and extending along a second direction, wherein the first direction X is perpendicular to the direction of the semiconductor body 10 pointing to the first electrode layer 40, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction X and the direction of the semiconductor body 10 pointing to the first electrode layer 40; or the plurality of cavities 421 are a plurality of through holes, and the plurality of through holes penetrate the second piezoelectric material layer 42.

[0105] The material of the first electrode 41 includes graphene; the materials of the first piezoelectric material layer 30 and the second piezoelectric material layer 42 are both piezoelectric materials. The first piezoelectric material layer 30 is used to encapsulate the gate structure 20, and the first piezoelectric material layer 30 is used to encapsulate the first gate 22. The entire gate structure 20 is covered by piezoelectric material, which plays a role in protecting the device and isolating it from external impurities.

[0106] The embodiment of the present invention does not need to adopt a traditional substrate structure, but instead adopts a second piezoelectric material layer 42 and a first electrode 41. Therefore, the on-resistance of the device is composed of contact resistance, channel resistance, JFET resistance, and epitaxial resistance in series, and there is no substrate resistance in the on-resistance, thereby realizing a low on-resistance device and reducing the on-resistance; on the other hand, when voltage is applied to the first piezoelectric material layer 30 and the second piezoelectric material layer 42, the first piezoelectric material layer 30 and the second piezoelectric material layer 42 will be deformed, and an additional electric field will be generated on the gate structure 20, thereby improving the mobility and conductivity of the charge carriers in the semiconductor structure; the embodiment of the present invention can dynamically adjust the transfer characteristics such as the mobility and conductivity of the charge carriers in the semiconductor structure through the piezoelectric effect, thereby effectively improving the response speed and sensitivity of the device to the input signal, thereby improving the switching speed and conductivity of the device. And due to the existence of the piezoelectric effect, when the first piezoelectric material layer 30 and the second piezoelectric material layer 42 are subjected to external force, an electric potential will be generated, which can realize the switching of the power device at an extremely low voltage, and even directly respond to mechanical stress without external voltage control, thereby realizing self-driven power supply, thereby realizing a low-power power device.

[0107] The inventor found that: There are currently two ways to change the mobility of SiC power devices, namely boron doping annealing technology and optimized groove structure; if boron doping annealing technology is used, high temperature annealing is usually at 1700°C, SiC material will evaporate, thus affecting the dimensional stability and surface roughness of the device, and annealing uniformity is difficult to control, affecting the consistency of the device; if the optimized groove structure is used, the groove device has a right angle or obtuse angle structure at the groove angle and the bottom, which will intensify the electric field and make the gate oxide layer easy to break down. The embodiment of the present invention uses the piezoelectric effect of the first piezoelectric material layer 30 and the second piezoelectric material layer 42 to dynamically adjust the transfer characteristics such as the mobility and conductivity of the charge carrier in the semiconductor structure, and the embodiment of the present invention does not use a groove structure, which can improve the mobility and conductivity of the device, and will not affect the consistency of the device, avoiding the problem of intensifying the electric field and making the gate oxide layer easy to break down.

The embodiment of the present invention adopts the second piezoelectric material layer 42 and the first electrode 41 to replace the substrate, which, on the one hand, eliminates the substrate resistance and reduces the on-resistance; on the other hand, when voltage is applied to the first piezoelectric material layer 30 and the second piezoelectric material layer 42, the first piezoelectric material layer 30 and the second piezoelectric material layer 42 will be deformed, and an additional electric field will be generated on the gate structure 20, thereby improving the mobility and conductivity of the charge carriers in the semiconductor structure, thereby improving the switching speed and conductivity of the device. And due to the existence of the piezoelectric effect, when the first piezoelectric material layer 30 and the second piezoelectric material layer 42 are subjected to external force, an electric potential will be generated, which can realize the switching of the power device at an extremely low voltage, and even directly respond to mechanical stress, without the need for external voltage control, to achieve self-driven power supply, thereby realizing a low-power power device.
