Description

SGT MOSFET device with bidirectional ESD protection capability
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, in particular to an SGT MOSFET device with bidirectional ESD protection capability.
Background
In the development of power devices, power MOSFETs have been playing a very important role. The power MOSFET is developed from a transverse direction to a longitudinal direction and from a planar gate to a trench gate, wherein the voltage resistance level, reliability, manufacturing process and other aspects of the longitudinal MOSFET are superior to those of the transverse MOSFET, the trench gate changes a channel from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction, the influence of parasitic JFET resistance of a planar structure is thoroughly eliminated, the cell size is greatly reduced while the on-resistance is reduced, the defect of the planar gate MOSFET is greatly eliminated, and the longitudinal MOSFET of the trench becomes the main development direction of the power MOSFET.
The low-voltage trench vertical MOSFET device is generally used as a voltage-driven high-frequency switch in the aspects of motor driving, synchronous rectification and the like, the working mode of the low-voltage trench vertical MOSFET device is different from the working condition of a general circuit, the device not only prevents a gate oxide layer from being broken down due to static electricity, but also prevents overvoltage generated by an application system from being applied to a grid electrode of a power MOSFET to cause damage of the power device. Therefore, in addition to considering the avalanche resistance of the device, the device design of the power MOSFET needs to improve the ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection capability of the power MOSFET; meanwhile, because the application of the power MOSFET in a high-frequency circuit needs better switching characteristics, the gate capacitance of the device needs to be further paid attention in the design process, and the gate capacitance of the device is reduced as much as possible to improve the switching speed of the device.
In the development of optimizing the switching characteristics of the power MOSFET, a shielded Gate Trench MOSFET (SGT MOSFET) utilizes a shielded Gate to reduce the overlapping area between the grid and the drain so as to greatly reduce the grid-drain capacitance of the device; meanwhile, the shielding grid can be used as an in-vivo field plate buried in a body to perform auxiliary depletion on current carriers in the drift region, so that the depletion capability of the drift region of the device is effectively improved, and the electric field distribution of the drift region is optimized, so that the SGT MOSFET is ensured to have higher doping concentration of the drift region and thinner thickness of the drift region on the premise of the same breakdown voltage, and lower specific on-resistance is realized. SGT MOSFETs have therefore become a major development in optimizing the characteristics of power MOS switches, with the device structure shown in fig. 1. The ESD protection for power MOSFETs has two aspects: on one hand, the improvement of external factors, namely the improvement of the production, the operation, the storage environment and the specification of devices and circuits; on the other hand, the method aims at the internal design of the device, namely, the performance of the one-sided ESD protection circuit is improved, and the method is also a main means for improving the ESD resistance of the IC at present. The method for designing the ESD resistance by utilizing the multi-finger NMOSFET is an important method for improving the ESD resistance of the current CMOS integrated circuit, but the method mainly aims at a transverse MOS device, and the device designed by the method has large occupied area and poor process operability and controllability.

The embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to specific embodiments, and other advantages and effects of the present invention will be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present specification. The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
In order to realize the simultaneous improvement of the switching performance and the ESD protection performance, the invention provides an SGT MOSFET device with bidirectional ESD protection capability based on the conventional SGT MOSFET structure and the polysilicon multi-doped MOSFET structure, as shown in fig. 2. The main improvement of the structure is that: the grid electrode-dielectric layer-shielding grid structure in the groove is changed into a symmetrical structure with multiple longitudinal polysilicon doping, namely an NPNPN polysilicon multiple doping structure is formed in the groove, and the polysilicon diode formed by the longitudinal symmetrical structure realizes bidirectional ESD protection of the device.
The technical scheme of the invention is described in detail in the following with the accompanying drawings:
referring to fig. 2, the SGT MOSFET device with bidirectional ESD protection capability according to the present invention includes a cell structure, where the cell structure includes a drain metal 6, an N + substrate 5, an N-type drift region 4, and a source metal 7, which are sequentially stacked from bottom to top; a trench gate structure is formed on one side of the upper surface of the N-type drift region 4, and the trench gate structure comprises an N + Poly gate 8, a P-type lightly doped first region 9, an N-type lightly doped region 10, a P-type lightly doped second region 11 and an N-type source contact region 12 which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom; the other side of the upper surface of the N-type drift region 4 is provided with a P-type base region 3 adjacent to the trench gate structure; the upper surface of the P-type base region 3 is provided with an N-type heavily doped region 1 and a P-type heavily doped region 2 which are mutually contacted, the N-type heavily doped region 1 is arranged next to the trench gate structure, and the upper surfaces of the N-type heavily doped region 1 and the P-type heavily doped region 2 are contacted with a source metal 7; and the lower surface, the side surface and the upper surface of the trench gate structure are respectively provided with an oxide layer 13 for isolating the N-type drift region 4, the P-type base region 3, the N-type heavily doped region 1 and the source metal 7.
The oxide layer 13 between the side surfaces of the P-type lightly doped first region 9, the N-type lightly doped region 10, the P-type lightly doped second region 11 and the N-type source contact region 12 and the N-type drift region 4 is a thick oxide layer, and the oxide layer 13 on the side surface of the N + Poly gate is a thin oxide layer. The N-type source contact region 12 is connected to the source metal 7.
The invention provides a method for forming a polysilicon PN junction by applying different doping types to a polysilicon gate on the basis of the design idea of a multi-finger NMOSFET structure on the basis of the traditional longitudinal MOSFET. When ESD occurs, the voltage applied to the oxide layer 13 is borne by the polysilicon diode, and dielectric breakdown of the oxide layer 13 of the device is avoided; meanwhile, large current generated by the device can be released through a diode formed by the introduced PN junction, so that overcurrent melting or secondary breakdown of the device is avoided, and the damage of ESD to the longitudinal power MOS device is effectively prevented.
The principle of the invention is as follows: based on a traditional SGT MOSFET structure and a polysilicon multi-doped longitudinal MOSFET structure, a longitudinally symmetrical polysilicon multi-doped NPNPN structure is arranged in the groove to further optimize the switching characteristics and the ESD resistance of the device, wherein an N-type heavily doped region in the NPNPN structure is led out as a poly gate, and a lowermost N-type source contact region 12 is connected with a source. Compared with the traditional SGT MOSFET, the SGT MOSFET device with the bidirectional ESD protection capability has the advantages that the shielding effect between the grid electrode and the drain electrode is enhanced, the grid-drain capacitance of the device is greatly reduced, and meanwhile, the source-drain capacitance of the new structure is far smaller than that of the traditional SGT MOSFET device due to the fact that the groove grid NPNPNPNPN multiple diodes are connected in series to form smaller structure capacitance, so that the switching speed and the switching loss of the device are effectively improved. Meanwhile, the longitudinal symmetric polysilicon diode structure realized by the NPNPN structure in the groove gate can bear large voltage applied on the oxide layer 13, so that dielectric breakdown of the oxide layer 13 of the SGT MOSFET is avoided, a new channel can be provided to lead out large current in the device, so that overcurrent melting or secondary breakdown of the device is avoided, loss caused by ESD is effectively prevented, the device is prevented from failure, and the ESD protection capability of the device is greatly enhanced; meanwhile, the NPNPN structure which is longitudinally symmetrical is arranged inside the groove gate, so that bidirectional ESD protection can be effectively carried out on the device, and the reliability of the device is further enhanced.
In summary, on the basis of the conventional shielded gate trench MOSFET structure and the polysilicon heavily-doped vertical MOSFET structure, the SGT MOSFET device with bidirectional ESD protection capability, which is realized by arranging the vertically symmetric polysilicon heavily-doped NPNPN structure in the trench, can improve the ESD protection capability of the device and enhance the reliability of the device while further optimizing the gate-drain capacitance of the device and realizing faster switching speed and lower switching loss.
The present invention is not limited to the above preferred embodiments, and any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
