[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art should fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0050] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the word "comprise," and variations such as "comprises" or "comprising," will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integers or steps. In describing some embodiments, the use of "connection" and / or "coupling" and / or variations thereof can be used. For example, the term "connected" can be used to indicate that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited in terms of the terminology used.

[0051] The terms "first", "second", etc. are used herein only to describe different instances, and cannot be construed to refer to a relative importance or an implicit indication of the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specified.

[0052] In describing some embodiments, the use of "connected" and / or variations thereof can be used. For example, the term "connected" can be used to indicate that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited in terms of the terminology used.

[0053] As used herein, "parallel", "perpendicular", "equal" include the stated condition and conditions similar to the stated condition within an acceptable deviation range, wherein the acceptable deviation range is determined by those of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement being discussed and the error associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallel and approximately parallel, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximately parallel can be, for example, within 5°; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicular and approximately perpendicular, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximately perpendicular can also be, for example, within 5°. "Equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate equality can be, for example, a difference between the two of less than or equal to 5% of either.

[0054] It should be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being "on" another layer or substrate, it can be directly on the other layer or substrate, or intervening layers can also be present.

[0055] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional and / or plan view illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Accordingly, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, the exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an etched region illustrated as a rectangle will typically have rounded or curved features. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

[0056] A semiconductor device refers to a component that utilizes the special electrical properties of a semiconductor material (mainly silicon, followed by germanium, gallium arsenide, etc.) to achieve a specific electronic function.

[0057] Semiconductor devices are diverse in types, and can include, for example, a solid-state circuit breaker. The solid-state circuit breaker can be applied to new energy vehicles, photovoltaic energy storage, etc., and can be applied to a direct current circuit breaker in a new energy vehicle direct current power distribution system, energy storage, medium voltage direct connection, flexible direct current transmission, etc. The solid-state circuit breaker can trigger self-turn-off of a device when the absolute value of current in a direct current bus is greater than a driving current, thereby playing a protective role for a direct current power grid.

[0058] For example, the solid-state circuit breaker can be normally open under normal working conditions, and current passes through the solid-state circuit breaker to reach a power switch and a power load. When a short circuit occurs in the power load, the solid-state circuit breaker can detect an excessively high current signal in the direct current bus and actively turn off the current in the direct current bus according to the excessively high current signal. Some embodiments of the present disclosure take the semiconductor device as an example for description of the solid-state circuit breaker.

For example, the third electrode 70 (anode electrode) can serve as the gate of the P-type device, the first part 51 of the first electrode 50 can serve as the source of the P-type device, and the second electrode 60 (cathode electrode) arranged on the side of the fourth well region 25 away from the substrate 10 can serve as the drain of the P-type device.

[0083] Under normal working conditions, the semiconductor device 1000 is normally open, the voltage between the gate and the source of the N-type device is zero, the pn junction between the N-type channel part 31 and the first P-type connection part 32 is in a natural state, the depletion region is very thin, the N-type channel part 31 is the widest and has the smallest resistance, and the current can pass smoothly.

[0084] For example, the current inputted into the third electrode 70 (anode electrode) of the semiconductor device 1000 is transmitted through the substrate 10, the drift layer 20, the N-type channel portion 31, the first portion 51 of the first electrode 50 of the P-type device, the first portion 51 of the first electrode 50 of the N-type device, the second P-type connection portion 41, the third well region 24, the P-type channel portion 21, the second electrode 60 (cathode electrode) of the semiconductor device 1000, and thus flows out of the semiconductor device 1000.

[0085] When a short circuit occurs in the electric load, as the voltage of the third electrode 70 (anode electrode) increases, the pn junction between the N-type channel portion 31 and the first P-type connection portion 32 is in a reverse bias state, the depletion region gradually widens, and the N-type channel portion 31 gradually narrows. When the voltage between the gate and the source of the N-type device is the pinch-off voltage, the depletion region completely pinches off the N-type channel portion 31, and the current is blocked.
