To become is normally associated with transforming into something that was not the same way originally.
When you say I became addicted to coffee when I started working at the company (became is the past form of become), you imply that you weren't addicted to coffee before joining the company, but now you are.
With the Present Perfect tense, you use the form become after have or has, meaning it is a change that still influences you. For example, I've become interested in video games at age 20.
