A novel edge-termination structure for a SiC trench metal–oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) power device is proposed. The key feature of the proposed structure is a periodically formed SiC trench with a bottom protection well (BPW) implantation region. The trench can be filled with oxide or gate materials. Indeed, it has almost the same cross-sectional structure as the active region of a SiC trench MOSFET. Therefore, there is little or no additional process loads. A conventional floating field ring (FFR) structure utilizes the spreading of the electric field in the periodically depleted surface region formed between a heavily doped equipotential region. On the other hand, in the trenched ring structure, an additional quasi-equipotential region is provided by the BPW region, which enables deeper and wider field-spreading profiles, and less field crowding at the edge region. The two-dimensional Technology Computer Aided Design (2D-TCAD) simulation results show that the proposed trenched ring-edge termination structures have an improved breakdown voltage compared to the conventional floating field ring structure.
