Heavy ion strike-induced Single-Event Effect (SEE) is an essential reliability issue for SiC MOSFETs in radiation environments. The mass clustering of excess charges in SiC MOSFET is found to be root cause for device failure when heavy ion strikes. Based on the SEE failure mechanism, a planar gate SiC MOSFET with Hole Extraction Channel (HEC-MOS) and current aperture structure to improve its SEE immunity and electrical performance is proposed in this paper. The embedded $P^{+}$
