Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to silicon carbide semiconductor devices.
Background
The semiconductor power device generally requires a high Breakdown voltage (Breakdown voltage) and has as small as possible on-resistance, low reverse leakage current, and fast Switching speed to reduce the on-loss (Conduction loss) and Switching loss (Switching loss) during operation. Silicon carbide (SiC for short) has a wide band gap (Bandgap E)g3.26eV), high critical breakdown field strength (2.2MV/cm), and high thermal conductivity (4.9W/cm-K), and is considered to be an excellent material for power switching elements. Under the same breakdown voltage condition, the thickness of a voltage-withstanding layer (Drift layer with low doping concentration) of a power component made of silicon carbide is only one tenth of that of a silicon (Si) power component, and theoretically, the on-resistance can reach one hundred times of that of silicon.
However, due to the wide energy gap of SiC, the Body diode (Body diode) of SiC MOSFET has a threshold voltage of about 3V, which causes large power loss when reverse current flows back during switching and limits the switching speed. In addition, epitaxial Basal plane dislocations (Basal plane dislocations) generated during the deposition of the drift layer may expand into Stacking faults (Stacking faults) due to Recombination of carriers when the body diode is turned on, and may cause failure of the SiC MOSFET in a severe case. Therefore, when a semiconductor manufacturer manufactures a SiC MOSFET, one more Schottky diode (Schottky diode) is designed in parallel to increase the operation speed, reduce the power loss, and avoid the reliability problem caused by the expansion of stacking defects. Similar prior art can be found in U.S. patent nos. US 9,209,293, US 9,246,016, US 10,418,476, US 2018/0358463, etc.
