Silicon carbide semiconductor power transistor and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A silicon carbide semiconductor power transistor and a method of manufacturing the same. The silicon carbide semiconductor power transistor of the disclosure includes a substrate made of silicon carbide (SiC), a drift layer disposed on the substrate, a gate layer formed on the drift layer, a plurality of first and second well pick-up regions disposed in the drift layer, a plurality of source electrodes, and a plurality of contacts. A plurality of V-grooves is formed in the drift layer. A first opening is formed in the gate layer at a bottom of each of the V-grooves, and a second opening is formed in the gate layer at a top of the drift layer between the V-grooves. The plurality of contacts is disposed inside the second opening to be in direct contact with the second well pick-up regions.
