Problems solved by technology

Silicon carbide VDMOS devices generally need to work together with an anti-parallel diode in traditional inverter circuits, chopper circuits and other circuit applications. There are usually the following two methods: one is: directly use the device Pbase, N-region and N+ lining The parasitic PIN diode formed at the bottom; due to the junction voltage drop of about 3V at the silicon carbide PN junction, if the PIN diode is used directly, it will lead to a large forward conduction voltage drop, power loss and low circuit application efficiency, which not only This leads to reliability problems caused by device heating, and attention should also be paid to the waste of energy resources; the second is to use a fast recovery diode (FRD) in antiparallel to the outside of the device, but this method causes the rise of system cost and volume reduction. Problems such as increasing the size and reducing reliability after increasing the metal connection are not conducive to the promotion of silicon carbide VDMOS devices in applications such as traditional inverter circuits and chopper circuits.
[0007] In summary, how to realize the wide application of silicon carbide VDMOS devices in inverter circuits, chopper circuits and other circuits, and solve the problems of high power loss, low work efficiency, and high system cost in existing applications has become an important issue in this field. Problems that technicians need to solve urgently

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductors, and in particular relates to a silicon carbide VDMOS device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Since the beginning of the 21st century, the world's energy production and consumption are still dominated by fossil energy, and fossil energy will remain the energy basis for human survival and development for a relatively long period of time. However, fossil energy will eventually be exhausted, and it is easy to cause environmental pollution problems, and the resulting problems of environment and sustainable development are difficult problems that human beings must face. Therefore, as an important energy source that can be used by human beings - electric energy, the improvement of its efficiency is an important solution to the world's energy problems. [0003] The power system is a necessary way for human beings to use electric energy and improve the effici...
