Background
Silicon carbide (SiC) materials have been attracting attention and research because of their superior physical properties, and the higher thermal conductivity of silicon carbide materials determines their high current density characteristics, and the higher forbidden band width determines the high breakdown field strength and high operating temperature of SiC devices. Although SiC MOSFETs have lower on-resistance than conventional Si-based MOSFETs, there is a problem in that on-resistance rises sharply with the 2.5 power of withstand voltage. The loss of the device is increased in a high-voltage working state, and the on-resistance of the device is reduced by adopting a super junction technology.
The super junction technology is a technology for achieving charge compensation and acting as a voltage-resistant layer by adopting an alternating P-type doped region and N-type doped region structure to simultaneously obtain low specific on-resistance and high voltage-resistant capability. Through super junction structural design and optimization, the conduction performance of the high-power silicon carbide device can be effectively improved on the premise of guaranteeing the blocking performance.
