2deng, the corrosive liquid of variable concentrations proportioning is selected according to different materials.
8) then, as shown in figure 15, etching silicon carbide Semiconductor substrate 210 forms the 3rd groove 265, the corner 266 of described 3rd bottom portion of groove and sidewall and the corner 267 of the 3rd bottom portion of groove and the second recess sidewall form circular arc transition structure, 3rd recess sidewall near normal, be approximated to right angle 268 with silicon carbide substrates first surface, and remove the first mask material 230, expose the first surface 211 of silicon carbide substrates.The degree of depth of described 3rd groove 265 is greater than the degree of depth of doped region 220.Described circular arc transition structure 266 and 267 decreases electric field and gathers, and electric fields uniform is distributed, and is conducive to the withstand voltage improving power device.Described 3rd recess sidewall near normal, is approximated to right angle 268 with silicon carbide substrates first surface, avoids the formation of negative angle bevel termination, makes Electric Field Distribution even, is also conducive to the withstand voltage improving power device.The degree of depth of described 3rd groove 265 is not from 0.5 micron to 50 microns etc.Described lithographic method comprises reactive ion etching (reactive ion etching, RIE), inductively coupled plasma (inductive coupled plasma, ICP) etching, laser ablation or ion beam millings etc., the material of use comprises argon Ar, oxygen O
