Abstract

Disclosed a silicon carbide MOSFET device and manufacturing method thereof. The method includes: forming a patterned first barrier layer on an upper surface of the substrate; forming a base region of a second doping type extending from the upper surface to an inside of the substrate through oblique implantation in a first ion implantation process by using a first barrier layer as a mask; forming a source region of the first doping type in the substrate; forming a contact region of the second doping type in the substrate; and forming a gate structure, an implantation angle of the first ion implantation process is adjusted so that the base region extends below a part of the first barrier layer. The method of the present disclosure not only reduces one photoetching process and saves cost, but also realizes a short channel and reduces an on-resistance of the device.
