Abstract

A fabrication method of forming a silicon carbide MOSFET is provided. The fabrication method includes the step of providing a semiconductor substrate. A P-well region is formed by implanting the semiconductor substrate through the P-well mask. A spacer is disposed on sidewall of the P-well mask and the P-well region is implanted to form a P-plus layer and an N-plus layer. A gate oxide layer, a poly gate and a first interlayer dielectric layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate. The first interlayer dielectric layer is etched to form an opening and the opening exposes the P-plus layer. A metal layer is disposed to cover the opening and the first interlayer dielectric layer.
