Abstract
Description
A semiconductor structure and its formation method Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. Background Technology
[0002] Wide bandgap semiconductors, due to their high critical breakdown electric field, can withstand high blocking voltages while providing low on-resistance, making them ideal for fabricating power semiconductor devices. However, improper handling of the electric field inside the device can lead to both premature breakdown due to electric field concentration and reduced gate reliability due to electric field concentration in the gate dielectric.
[0003] Compared to silicon devices, silicon carbide (SiC) devices have a 1-2 order of magnitude higher interface state density. This results in lower channel mobility at the SiC / silicon oxide interface. While square and hexagonal cell techniques are highly effective in increasing channel density per unit area, they also lead to electric field concentration within the SiC device and in the gate dielectric. Furthermore, the current concentration in the diagonal JFET region of square and hexagonal cells in SiC MOSFETs reduces the device's reliability.
[0004] Therefore, optimizing the channel resistance of SiC MOSFETs using cell techniques such as square cells and hexagonal cells necessarily requires optimizing the electric field balance within the device body and the gate dielectric, as well as the current balance in the JFET region of the device.
