Description

SiC trench MOSFET device and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a SiC trench MOSFET device and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
The development of power electronic systems puts higher demands on the performance of semiconductor devices, particularly in terms of high temperature, high frequency, radiation resistance, high voltage, and the like. The traditional silicon material device manufacturing process is mature, but the application of the silicon device in an extreme working environment is limited by the performance of the material. The typical representative of the third generation wide bandgap semiconductor material is SiC, which has the characteristics of stable physical and chemical properties, a larger bandgap, a higher thermal conductivity, a higher breakdown voltage, a higher electron saturation drift velocity, a stronger radiation resistance, and the like, and thus, siC becomes one of the most important semiconductor materials for manufacturing high power devices capable of adapting to extreme environments.
A conventional planar gate type SiC MOSFET device has a parasitic junction field effect transistor structure, so that the on-resistance of the device is increased. The SiC trench MOSFET device not only improves the mobility of the channel, but also eliminates JFET effect by forming the channel on the side wall of the trench, so that the on-resistance of the device is greatly reduced, the cell size is reduced, and the power density is increased. However, the main problem of the SiC trench MOSFET device is that the gate oxide layer at the corner of the trench needs to bear a large electric field strength, which affects the reliability of the device. The traditional solution is to form a P-shield region at the bottom of the trench to protect the gate oxide layer, but the forward current channel is narrowed, and the on-resistance of the device is increased.
