Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes: a silicon carbide semiconductor body having a source region of a first conductivity type and a body region of a second conductivity type; and a trench structure extending from a first surface into the silicon carbide semiconductor body along a vertical direction, the trench structure having a gate electrode and a gate dielectric. The trench structure is stripe-shaped and runs along a longitudinal direction that is perpendicular to the vertical direction. The source region includes a first source sub-region and a second source sub-region alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction. A doping concentration profile of the first source sub-region along the vertical direction differs from a doping concentration profile of the second source sub-region along the vertical direction. A corresponding method of manufacturing the semiconductor device is also described.
