Background
With the rapid development of power electronic technology, the demand of high-power semiconductor devices is more and more remarkable. Due to the limitation of materials, the characteristics of the conventional silicon device reach the theoretical limit, and silicon carbide, which is one of the wide bandgap semiconductor materials rapidly developed in the last ten years, has the advantages of wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, high carrier saturation mobility, high power density and the like, and can be applied to the application fields of high power, high temperature, radiation resistance and the like.
Among silicon carbide semiconductor devices, vertical trench silicon carbide transistors have a nonpolar surface on the surface of their trenches, and have a higher mobility and a higher cell integration level, so that they are important research objects for next-generation power electronic devices, and can be widely applied to the fields of electric vehicles, charging piles, uninterruptible power supplies, smart grids, and the like.
However, the critical breakdown electric field of the silicon carbide in the trench-type silicon carbide transistor is large, so that the electric field concentration phenomenon in the gate dielectric is serious, and the gate dielectric layer with high electric field concentration is easy to break down under a small reverse voltage.
