Description

High-voltage groove type power semiconductor device and preparation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a power semiconductor and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a high-voltage groove type power semiconductor device and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of power semiconductor devices.
Background
An Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) combines the characteristics of a MOSFET and a BJT, and has the characteristics of gate control and low conduction voltage drop of bipolar conduction. A metal oxide field effect transistor (MOSFET), a gated unipolar conductive device.
The Trench gate (Trench gate) is formed by etching a Trench and then oxidizing and filling polycrystalline silicon, and the channel of the Trench is in the vertical direction, so that the JEFET effect can be eliminated, and the conduction voltage drop of a device is reduced; the problem that the trench gate has is that a high electric field is easy to appear at the bottom of the trench of the device, which affects the reliability of gate oxide, especially the gate oxide breakdown electric field of the silicon carbide SiC device is relatively low and the quality is not high.
As can be seen from the above description, the trench IGBT and MOSFET power devices have been widely used, however, the trench IGBT and MOSFET generally have a drawback that a high electric field occurs at the bottom of the trench, which affects the reliability of the gate oxide of the device. Particularly, in the silicon carbide trench IGBT and MOSFET, the critical breakdown electric field of the silicon carbide substrate is close to the breakdown electric field of the gate oxide, so that the gate oxide is easily disabled when the device reaches avalanche breakdown, and therefore the gate oxide must be protected to prevent the electric field from being too high.
In order to solve the problem, for an N-type IGBT device or an N-type MOSFET device, it is currently generally adopted to implant a layer of P-type doping at the bottom of a trench to reduce a high electric field at the bottom of the trench, however, the current method is a relatively narrow trench gate structure, taking a high-voltage 600V device as an example, the width of the trench is about 1.5 μm, and the depth generally has about 5 μm, which brings difficulty to the implantation at the bottom of the trench; therefore, new device structures and process methods are needed to reduce the process difficulty of forming P-type doping at the bottom of the trench and the influence on the gate oxide reliability.
As shown in fig. 1 to 6, a process flow diagram of a conventional trench type power semiconductor device, specifically,
as shown in fig. 1, an N-type semiconductor substrate 1 is provided, and a substrate trench 2 is etched in a front surface of the semiconductor substrate 1. As shown in fig. 2, implantation of P-type impurity ions and annealing are performed above the front surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 to obtain a substrate P-type base region 4 in the semiconductor substrate 1 and a substrate trench P-type doped region 3 below the bottom of the substrate trench 2.
As shown in fig. 3, an oxide layer is grown and polysilicon is filled to obtain a substrate oxide layer 5 and a substrate conductive polysilicon body 6, wherein the substrate conductive polysilicon body 6 is filled in the substrate trench 2, and the substrate conductive polysilicon body 6 is insulated and isolated from the sidewall and the bottom wall of the substrate trench 2 by the substrate oxide layer 5.
As shown in fig. 4, the substrate conductive polysilicon body 6 is etched to obtain the substrate conductive polysilicon body 6 located in the substrate trench 2. As shown in fig. 5, N-type impurity ion implantation and annealing are performed to obtain a substrate N + source region 7 located in the substrate P-type base region 4, where the substrate N + source region 7 contacts with the outer wall of the substrate trench 2. As shown in fig. 6, the steps of dielectric layer deposition, contact hole etching and front metal formation are performed to obtain a substrate metal layer 8 and a substrate insulating dielectric layer 9 covering the notch of the substrate trench 2, the substrate metal layer 8 is insulated and isolated from the substrate conductive polysilicon body 6 by the substrate insulating dielectric layer 9, and the substrate metal layer 8 is in ohmic contact with the substrate P-type base region 4 and the substrate N + source region 7.
In addition, a back structure is further disposed on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 1, the specific form of the back structure can be rotated as required, and the required IGBT device or MOSFET device can be formed according to the difference of the back structure, which is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein again.
As can be seen from the above process steps, the current method for manufacturing a trench power semiconductor device has the following main defects: when the substrate trench P-type doped region 3 is prepared, since the substrate trench 2 has a relatively large aspect ratio, ion implantation must be strictly vertical, which has a very high requirement on the direction control of the ion implantation and a great process difficulty.
