Further, the side surface of the P-type ion implantation region 150 (the surface contacting the P-type well region 130) is spaced from the side surface of the source 101 (the surface contacting the N-type source region 140 and the P-type ion implantation region 150) by 0.5 μm to 0.8 μm, and the bottom surface of the P-type ion implantation region 150 is spaced from the bottom surface of the source 101 by 0.5 μm to 0.8 μm.

The inventor researches and discovers that electric field concentration is easily generated at the bottom corner of the silicon carbide MOSFET trench gate of the traditional trench gate, so that the device is broken down in advance under the condition of lower than rated breakdown voltage, and the forward blocking characteristic of the device is seriously influenced. Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a new trench gate structure, in which the source 101 and the gate 102 are integrated in the same trench 151, and in order to prevent the gate-source short circuit, and in order to increase the contact area between the source 101 and the P-type ion implantation region 150 in the trench, the source 101 is set to be in an L-type structure, so as to ensure the contact area between the source 101 and the P-type ion implantation region 150 at the bottom of the trench, and increase the width of the isolation region 170 between the gate and the source to prevent the risk of the gate-source short circuit.
It can be understood that the source 101 and the gate 102 are integrated in the same trench, and the gate 101 is a vertical strip, which can effectively reduce the width of the cell, so that the P-type ion implantation region 150 of two adjacent cells forms a shielding layer structure, thereby effectively relieving the electric field aggregation at the corner of the gate oxide layer 160, preventing the device from being broken down at the corner of the gate oxide layer 160 in advance, and improving the breakdown voltage of the device. If the width of the gate 102 is too wide, the width of the device cell will be increased, so that the shielding effect formed by the P-type ion implantation region 150 between adjacent cells will be reduced, and the inventors have found that the shielding effect is best when the width of the gate 102 in the groove is 0.5 μm to 0.8 μm.
