摘要

In this work, the time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) analysis is performed to understand the gate oxide reliability in SiC MOSFETs with two different structures, i.e., planar and trench gate structures. We have discovered different gate leakage current behaviors between the SiC MOSFETs with planar gate (Sample A) and trench gate (Sample B) during the forward gate bias stress. Notably, the slight increase of the gate current during the stress and the negative activation energy (Ea = −0.07 eV) observed in Sample A suggest that the hole generation caused by the impact ionization can be occurred during the forward gate TDDB tests. Furthermore, the SiC MOSFETs with trench gate structure (Sample B) exhibit the operation voltage of 55.7 V (exponential law) and 57.3 V (power law) for the 0.001 % failure of 30 years under 175 °C, indicating that SiC trench gate MOSFETs with enough thick gate dielectric (87.1 nm (bottom) and 77.9 nm (sidewall)) can have the promising forward gate TDDB stability.
