Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of semiconductor device, relate to semiconductor diode device structure.
Background technology
In electronic circuit, diode is one of the most frequently used base electronic components and parts; In Power Electronic Circuit, diode is more followed someone like his shadow with switching device, indispensable.Traditional rectifier diode mainly contains PN junction diode and Schottky diode two classes.Wherein PN junction diode forward conduction voltage drop is larger, and reverse recovery time is longer, but the stability of PN junction diode is better, can work in high voltage; Schottky diode has absolute predominance when low-voltage: its forward conduction voltage drop is little, and reverse recovery time is short, but leakage current when Schottky diode is reverse is relatively high, and unstable.In order to improve diode behavior, proposed Junction Barrier Controlled rectifier JBS (JBS:Junction Barrier Controlled Schottky Rectifier) both at home and abroad, mixed the devices such as PiN/ Schottky rectifier MPS (MPS:Merged P-i-N/Schottky Rectifier), trench MOS barrier Schottky diode TMBS (TMBS:Trench MOS Barrier Shcottky Diode), super barrier rectifier SBR (SBR:SuperBarrier Rectifier).
Fast recovery diode (be called for short FRD) be a kind ofly have that switching characteristic is good, reverse recovery time short feature semiconductor diode, be mainly used in the electronic circuits such as Switching Power Supply, PWM pulse width modulator, frequency converter, as high-frequency rectification diode, fly-wheel diode or damper diode, use.The internal structure of fast recovery diode is different from common PN junction diode, and it belongs to PiN junction diode, in the middle of P type silicon materials and N-type silicon materials, has increased base i, forms PiN silicon chip.Because base is very thin, QRR is very little, so the reverse recovery time of fast recovery diode is shorter, forward voltage drop is lower, and reverse breakdown voltage (withstand voltage) is higher.Fast recovery diode adopts gold doping in manufacturing process, and the simple techniques such as diffusion can obtain higher switching speed, also can obtain higher withstand voltage simultaneously.Be generally hundreds of nanosecond the reverse recovery time of fast recovery diode, and forward voltage drop is about 0.7V, and forward current is several amperes of extremely several kiloamperes, and peak-inverse voltage can reach hundreds of to several kilovolts.The QRR of Ultrafast recovery diode further reduces, and makes to be low to moderate for tens nanoseconds its reverse recovery time.
Schottky diode is the abbreviation of Schottky barrier diode (Schottky Barrier Diode, referred to as SBD).Schottky diode is the low-power consumption of coming out in recent years, large electric current, ultra-speed semiconductor device.Schottky diode does not utilize P type semiconductor to contact with N type semiconductor to form PN junction principle makes, but utilizes metal contact the metal-semiconductor junction principle making of formation with semiconductor.Schottky Rectifier is only used a kind of charge carrier (electronics) delivered charge, and the accumulation in potential barrier outside without excess minority carrier, therefore, does not exist charge storage problem (Qrr → 0), aobvious improvement when switching characteristic is obtained.Its reverse recovery time extremely short (may diminish to several nanoseconds), forward conduction voltage drop is 0.4V left and right only, and rectified current can reach several thousand milliamperes.These good characteristics are that fast recovery diode is incomparable.
Because the reverse potential barrier of Schottky diode is thinner, and very easily puncture on its surface, so reverse breakdown voltage is lower, oppositely withstand voltage lower, scarcely higher than 60V (the highest only about 100V), cause its range of application narrower.Because Schottky diode is more easily subject to thermal breakdown than PN junction diode, reverse leakage current is larger than PN junction diode.
How to obtain and to be similar to the breakdown characteristics of PN junction diode and forward conduction characteristic and the reverse recovery characteristic of thermal characteristics and Schottky diode simultaneously, be that technical field of semiconductor device pursued always in the last few years.

Operation principle of the present invention:
A kind of accumulation type groove grid diode provided by the present invention, can realize under corresponding voltage withstand class, and Leakage Current is less; Between forward conduction voltage drop and turn-off power loss, have well compromise.Can obtain the forward conduction and the reverse recovery characteristic that are similar to the reverse blocking voltage of PN junction diode and are similar to Schottky diode.Now take Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 as example, operation principle of the present invention is described.
A kind of accumulation type groove grid diode provided by the present invention, metallization anode 9 JiangNXing heavily doped regions 7, P type heavily doped region 8, grooved gate electrode 5 short circuits, and connect anode potential, and p type buried layer district 6 is by P Xing Zhu district 10 and P type heavily doped region 8 short circuits, thus and anode short circuit.N between 6 ,NXing heavily doped regions 7, p type buried layer district, silicon dioxide gate oxide 4 threes
-drift region forms carrier accumulation district A.When metallization anode 9 is with respect to metallization negative electrode 1 while adding no-voltage, because the doping content in p type buried layer district 6 is far longer than N
-the doping content of drift region 3, the N of p type buried layer district 6 and carrier accumulation district A
-the PN junction Built-in potential that drift region forms makes the N between p type buried layer district 6 and silicon dioxide gate oxide 4
-drift region is that carrier accumulation district A just exhausts completely.When metallization anode 9 adds very little forward voltage with respect to metallization negative electrode 1, grooved gate electrode 5,6 ,NXing heavily doped regions 7, p type buried layer district, P type heavily doped region 8 also add positive voltage, p type buried layer district 6/N simultaneously by metallization anode 9
-the built-in barrier region of accumulation area A knot dwindles gradually, the accumulation that carrier accumulation district A produces how sub-electronics due to grid voltage biasing, and this is many electron currents mobilely provides a path for smoothness gradually, and resistance reduces gradually, diode current flow.Due to when anode adds very little forward voltage when metallizing anode 9 with respect to the negative electrode 1 that metallizes, how sub-electronics just can form path, so forward conduction voltage drop of the present invention is extremely low.When metallization anode 9 adds reverse voltage with respect to metallization negative electrode 1; during due to zero-bias, carrier accumulation district A is just depleted; the conductive path of many sub-electronics at carrier accumulation district A by pinch off; while continuing to increase reverse voltage; thereby A Jiang Yin p type buried layer district, carrier accumulation district 6, P type heavily doped region 8 and 5 three's synergy of grooved grid and further being exhausted are protected, depletion layer is by the N near metallization negative electrode 1 one sides
-reverse voltage is expanded to bear in drift region 3.Due to no-voltage biasing Shi, carrier accumulation, district A is depleted, and how sub-charge carrier does not have path, so reverse leakage current is very little.In addition during due to forward conduction, be mainly the circulation of how sub-electronics, so reverse recovery characteristic of the present invention is also relatively good.
In sum, accumulation type groove grid diode provided by the invention, by the introducing of p type buried layer 6, makes device in the situation that not affecting reverse breakdown voltage and reverse leakage current, can improve greatly forward conduction characteristic and the reverse recovery characteristic of diode.
