Abstract

The application provides a planar silicon carbide MOSFET device and a manufacturing method thereof, and the device structure comprises an N+ substrate, an N-drift region, a P-well region with a buried layer, an N+ source region, a P+ source region, a current spreading layer, P-type polysilicon, gate medium, insulating medium, N-type polysilicon, a gate, a source and a drain. On the basis of a traditional planar MOSFET, a P-type buried layer connected with the source potential and P-type polysilicon are introduced, a low third quadrant conduction voltage drop is realized through a silicon-silicon carbide heterojunction, and the saturation conduction current of the device is reduced and the short circuit resistance time is improved through the introduced JFET region. In addition, due to the fact that the device adopts split gate and contains a P-type buried layer, the area of the gate and the drain is reduced, the Cgd of the device is improved, and the switching speed of the device is improved.
