SiC hybrid channel MOSFET with low ON-resistance and low OFF-state oxide field
摘要
A novel SiC hybrid channel MOSFET (HC-MOSFET) is proposed in this paper. As the challenges associated with the size scaling of traditional planar MOSFET (P-MOSFET) become increasingly significant, the HC-MOSFET increases the channel density by introducing a new conductive channel on the sidewall of the gate, and realizes a reduction of specific on-resistance. The traditional trench MOSFET (T-MOSFET) has the characteristics of compact size and high channel density. However, when the T-MOSFET is in the high-voltage blocking state, the gate oxide layer is subjected to a significant electric field. The HC-MOSFET achieves a lower on-resistance and a reduced gate oxide electric field in the off-state. At the gate corner oxide of the HC-MOSFET, the top P-channel region, bottom P-base region, and surrounding P + regions are used to effectively shield the electric field and reduce the maximum electric field at the gate corner oxide to below 1 MV/cm. Additionally, the HC-MOSFET exhibits the lowest reverse transfer capacitance (Crss), which reduces switching losses and achieves the lowest Crss × Ron figure of merit among the three kinds of devices.
