| Summary: | In this paper, we compare the static and switching characteristics of the 4H-SiC conventional UMOSFET (C-UMOSFET), double trench MOSFET (DT-MOSFET) and source trench MOSFET (ST-MOSFET) through TCAD simulation. In particular, the effect of the trenched source region and the gate trench bottom P+ shielding region on the capacitance is analyzed, and the dynamic characteristics of the three structures are compared. The input capacitance is almost identical in all three structures. On the other hand, the reverse transfer capacitance of DT-MOSFET and ST-MOSFET is reduced by 44% and 24%, respectively, compared to C-UMOSFET. Since the reverse transfer capacitance of DT-MOSFET and ST-MOSFET is superior to that of C-UMOSFET, it improves high frequency figure of merit (HF-FOM: <i>R<sub>ON-SP</sub></i> × <i>Q<sub>GD</sub></i>). The HF-FOM of DT-MOSFET and ST-MOSFET is 289 mΩ∙nC, 224 mΩ∙nC, respectively, which is improved by 26% and 42% compared to C-UMOSFET. The switching speed of DT-MOSFET and ST-MOSFET are maintained at the same level as the C-UMOSFET. The switching energy loss and power loss of the DT-MOSFET and ST-MOSFET are slightly improved compared to C-UMOSFET.
