Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, in particular to a split gate MOSFET device structure and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Currently, power MOSFETs are mainly studied for the purpose of reducing power consumption, and semiconductor device power consumption includes conduction loss and switching loss. A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field effect transistor (MOSFET) is a Field effect transistor that can be widely used, and the characteristics of the device are continuously close to the one-dimensional limit of silicon material (which expresses the theoretical relationship between the characteristic on-resistance of the drift region of the device and the breakdown voltage when the device is turned off).
With the continuous improvement and innovation of devices, a Split-gate type trench device structure (MOSFET) is proposed in the field, and within a medium-low voltage range, the structure can break the one-dimensional limit of a silicon material and has lower on-resistance, so that lower on-loss can be realized, and the device characteristics are greatly improved. At present, a common split gate MOSFET structure is shown in fig. 1, and the process manufacturing method is as follows: firstly, manufacturing and finishing separation Gate polysilicon (Source poly), growing an oxide layer through thermal oxidation, obtaining a Gate oxide layer (Gate oxide), an isolation oxide layer between the separation Gate polysilicon (Source poly) and the control Gate polysilicon (Gate poly) through an etching process, and manufacturing the control Gate polysilicon (Gate poly) and the control Gate polysilicon (Gate poly), wherein the manufacturing method of the process is embodied in the prior art;
however, the current split gate MOSFET device still has many disadvantages:
1. the overlapping area of the gate and the source in the trench is large, namely Cgs is large, and according to the input capacitance Ciss formula: cis is Cgs + Cgd, and Cgs is large, so that the input capacitance cis is large, the switching loss is high, and the switching loss is particularly remarkable under a high-frequency working condition;
2. in the existing manufacturing method, the isolation oxide layer between the gate and the source in the trench is very thin and slightly larger than the thickness of the gate oxide layer, so that the coupling capacitance between the gate and the source is relatively large, the input capacitance Ciss is relatively large, the switching loss is high, and meanwhile, the process of the very thin isolation oxide layer is not easy to control, and the problem of overlarge IGSS electric leakage is easily caused, so that the performance of a device is seriously influenced;
3. due to the special device structure, the oxide layer at the bottom of the groove is also very thin and is slightly larger than the thickness of the gate oxide layer, meanwhile, the oxide layer in the groove of the existing split gate MOSFET device is formed through thermal oxidation growth or deposition growth, the compactness of the device is poor, and the device and the corner at the bottom of the groove are easy to break down under high pressure, so that the performance of the device is seriously influenced.
