Abstract

Power MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor) are widely used in power electronics applications, such as BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) motor and power module, etc. For the conventional power MOSFET device structure, there exists a tradeoff relationship between specific on-state resistance and breakdown voltage. In order to overcome the tradeoff relationship, a non-uniform super-junction (SJ) trench MOSFET (TMOSFET) structure for an optimal design is proposed in this paper. It is required that the specific on-resistance of non-uniform SJ TMOSFET is less than that of uniform SJ TMOSFET under the same breakdown voltage. The idea with a linearly graded doping profile is proposed to achieve a much better electric field distribution in the drift region. The structure modelling of a unit cell, the characteristic analyses for doping density, and potential distribution are simulated by using of the SILVACO TCAD 2D device simulator, Atlas. As a result, the non-uniform SJ TMOSFET shows the better performance than the uniform SJ TMOSFET in the specific on-resistance at the class of 100V.

전력 MOSFET(산화물-반도체 전위 효과 트랜지스터)는 BLDC 모터와 전력 모듈 등에 광범위하게 사용하고 있다. 기존 전력 MOSFET 구조는 온-저항과 항복전압사이에 절충(tradeoff)이 필요하다. 이러한 절충을 하지 않고 최적화를 하기위해 비균일 초접합 트랜치 MOSFET 를 설계하는데 동일한 항복전압에서 균일 초접합 트랜치 MOSFET보다 낮은 온-저항을 갖도록한다. 이를 위해 드리프트 영역에서 우수한 전기장 분포를 달성하기 위하여 선형구조의 도핑 프로파일을 제안하고, 단위 셀 설계, 도핑농도의 특성분석, 전위분포를 SILVACO TCAD 2D인 Atlas 소자 소프트웨어를 사용하여 시뮬에이션을 수행하였다. 결과로 100V 급 MOSFET에서 비균일 초접합 트랜치 MOSFET가 균일 초접합 트랜치 MOSFET보다 온-저항에서 우수한 특성을 보여주고 있다.
