1. A method comprising: forming a silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET); forming a second conductivity type well region; forming a first conductivity type source region within the second conductivity type well region; forming a MOSFET channel; and forming a second conductivity type shield region in direct contact with a portion of the MOSFET channel along a surface of a drift layer, wherein a lateral location of highest doping concentration of the second conductivity type shield region is positioned within a boundary of the second conductivity type well region, wherein the second conductivity type shield region is located outside the first conductivity type source region, and wherein the MOSFET is a planar MOSFET.
