Abstract: SiC split-gate MOSFET integrating a high-speed freewheeling diode and a preparation method is disclosed. The MOSFET adopts split-gate design to reduce a switching loss. To avoid a problem of gate oxide reliability brought by a split-gate structure, a P-type buried layer is incorporated to reduce an electric field strength of a gate oxide layer at an edge of the polysilicon. Further, by incorporating an N-type conduction layer, a current is introduced from a trench to a drift region of the device. In addition, the high-speed freewheeling diode based on MOS structure is introduced on the other side of a cellular of the MOSFET. Relative to a conventional approach, the high-speed freewheeling diode of the present disclosure uses a surface trailing of the P-type buried layer to form a trench region, i.e., the on-site voltage drop of the high-speed freewheeling diode is minimized without increasing a number of additional photolithographic steps.

Abstract: A trench SiC MOSFET integrated with a high-speed flyback diode and a preparation method thereof are provided. The MOSFET is a trench structure, a trench-type gate-controlled diode is added in the vicinity of the MOSFET to solve the problem of electric field concentration at the bottom and corners of a trench, and P-type buried layers are added to the bottom of the trench to decrease the electric field intensity. Moreover, the gate-controlled diode and a body diode of the device are connected in parallel, so the on-voltage drop of the body diode is greatly decreased, thus reducing the loss in the reverse recovery mode. In addition, the gate-controlled diode is a unipolar device without the charge-storage effect, so the reverse recovery current of the body diode can be completely eliminated, thus reducing the dynamic loss.
