Investigation of trench SiC MOSFETs with double deep trench under avalanche stress
In this article, the dynamic avalanche reliability of 1200-V silicon carbide (SiC) power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with double deep trench(DDT-MOS) is studied. During unclamped inductive switching (UIS) measurement, a significant difference in avalanche capability was observed between the DDT-MOS. The damage analysis suggests that DDT-MOS show two failure mechanisms: burnout and gate failure during the UIS test. Through TCAD simulations and damage analysis, it can be determined that a serious temperature concentration occurred during the avalanche. Due to the characteristic that the avalanche current increases exponentially with the avalanche voltage once the drain–source voltage exceeds the avalanche threshold, the morphological differences in the P-well region caused by etching discrepancies will lead to a serious temperature concentration, which will deteriorate the avalanche capability and lead to the abnormal failure of the DDT-MOS. In addition, the uncontrollable value and distribution of etching discrepancies in deep trench is also a plausible explanation to explain the significant difference in avalanche capability between the DDT-MOS.
