    Abstract: A trench gate silicon carbide metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device and a fabrication method thereof. A second conductive heavily doped layer at the bottom corner of a trench gate is electrically connected to a second conductive heavily doped layer on another side edge of the trench gate through a layout design, which ensures a ground potential during voltage blocking state. This design protects the insulating layer in the trench gate and the Schottky contact in a junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diode, thereby enhancing device reliability. Moreover, in a diode operating mode, P+ on the left and right sides of the trench gate are connected to a positive potential. When the P+/N− junction is activated, the conductivity modulation can be implemented through hole injection, thereby improving the device's ability to withstand surge current impacts.
