In this study, the effect of applying the tilted ion implantation process of a 1.2 kV SiC trench MOSFET on the electrical characteristics of the devices was investigated. P-shielding with tilted ion implantation protects both the sidewall and bottom of the trench from an electric field, enabling stable high-voltage operation, and the cell pitch can be reduced by using only one channel. Moreover, the tilted ion implantation process has the advantage of not requiring additional masks. For a comparative analysis, the tilt angle for ion implantation into the trench was changed in a TCAD simulation. A high breakdown voltage of 1617 V was achieved under an optimized tilt angle of 18.2°, and a low on-resistance of 2.9 mΩ-cm2 was obtained via structural optimization.
