Comprehensive 2D-carrier profiling of low-doping region by high-sensitivity scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM) for power device applications

Superjunction (SJ) MOSFETs with low on-resistance and high sustain voltage are widely used as main switching power devices. For the p/n-pillars of SJ-power devices, precise doping at low-doping region below 1016cm−3 concentrations is required, and thus high-sensitivity 2D-carrier profiling of the pillars is indispensable where conventional SCM is insufficient. Previously, we developed the high-vacuum SSRM enabling high-spatial resolution and site-specific 2D-carrier profiling.
