Description

Preparation method of silicon carbide planar gate MOSFET
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical Field of semiconductors, in particular to a preparation method of a silicon carbide planar gate Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect transistor (MOSFET).
Background
Silicon Carbide (SiC) material is an excellent material for preparing core power devices in the power electronic field due to its forbidden bandwidth three times that of Silicon, high critical breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity and carrier saturation drift velocity. In a power device family, the MOSFET is used as a full-control power metal oxide field effect transistor and has the characteristics of high switching speed, high input impedance, relatively simple driving and the like. However, compared with the silicon-based MOSFET, the silicon carbide MOSFET has a lower channel mobility and a higher channel resistance Rch due to the poor channel interface state. The most direct way to reduce the channel resistance Rch is to shorten the channel length, but the manufacture of the short channel MOSFET has higher requirements on the precision of the alignment and etching. The on-resistance Ron of a MOSFET is defined as the total resistance that results from current flowing from the drain to the source when the device is on in the forward direction. For the planar gate MOSFET on-resistance Ron, it at least includes a source region resistance Rn +, a channel resistance Rch, a Junction FET (JFET) region resistance RJFET. In the traditional process, Rn +, Rch and RJFET are all related to photoetching alignment accuracy. In the traditional process, a JFET area, a well area, a channel area, a source area and a polysilicon grid electrode alignment area are all manufactured through photoetching, in order to achieve the stability of the process, an alignment allowance of 0.5-1.0 mu m is reserved in the areas, the allowance can increase the size of a corresponding area, and further the resistance of the corresponding area can be passively increased.
In the fabrication of a silicon-based planar gate MOSFET, also called a Vertical Double-diffused MOSFET (VDMOSFET), a polysilicon gate is commonly used as an ion implantation mask for a well region (e.g., PW) and an N + type source region, and the diffusion time and diffusion temperature after ion implantation are changed to control the ion diffusion range after implantation, thereby controlling the width of a channel, and the polysilicon gate is retained to be used as a gate of the VDMOSFET, which is generally called a self-aligned process. However, the ion diffusion coefficient in silicon carbide is very low, and no diffused junction exists, so that the silicon-based self-aligned process is not suitable for manufacturing silicon carbide MOSFETs.
Therefore, in view of the unique properties of silicon carbide materials, it is necessary to develop a preparation method suitable for manufacturing silicon carbide MOSFETs to reduce the on-resistance thereof.

Detailed Description

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
To further explain the technical means and effects of the present invention adopted to achieve the intended purpose, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide planar gate MOSFET according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method for manufacturing the silicon carbide planar gate MOSFET includes the following steps.
Step S1: self-aligned JFET and well regions are formed in a silicon carbide substrate.
Step S2: and forming a self-aligned source region and a channel region in the well region.
Step S3: and forming a contact region in the well region.
Step S4: and forming a gate dielectric layer and a gate self-aligned to the source region.
Step S5: and forming a source electrode and a drain electrode.
Specifically, the silicon carbide substrate is heavily doped with a first doping type. The JFET region is lightly doped with a first doping type. The well region is lightly doped with a second doping type. The source region is heavily doped with the first doping type. The contact region is heavily doped with the second doping type. In one embodiment, the first doping type is N-type, and the second doping type is P-type. In another embodiment, the first doping type is P-type and the second doping type is N-type. The following will specifically describe the method for manufacturing the silicon carbide planar gate MOSFET by taking the first doping type as an N-type and the second doping type as a P-type as an example, with reference to fig. 2 to 17.
Step S1: self-aligned JFET and well regions are formed in a silicon carbide substrate.
As shown in fig. 2, a JFET region mask layer 21 is formed on a silicon carbide Substrate (SiC)10, and the silicon carbide substrate 10 is ion-implanted to form a JFET region 122.
In one embodiment, silicon carbide substrate 10 includes a silicon carbide substrate 11 (shown in fig. 17) and an epitaxial layer 12 (shown in fig. 17) formed on silicon carbide substrate 11. The silicon carbide substrate 10 is heavily N-doped (N +) and the epitaxial layer 12 is lightly N-doped (N-).
In one embodiment, the material of the JFET region mask layer 21 is silicon dioxide (SiO)2). The step of forming the JFET region mask layer 21 includes depositing silicon dioxide (e.g., 1.0 μm thick) on the silicon carbide substrate 10 and then performing a patterned transfer of the JFET region 122 through photolithography and etching processing steps. That is, the deposited silicon dioxide is patterned to remove portions of the silicon carbide substrate 10 where JFET regions 122 are to be formed. Then, N-type impurities such as nitrogen or phosphorus are implanted into the area of the silicon carbide substrate 10 not covered by the JFET region mask layer 21 to form a JFET region 122.
As shown in fig. 3, a first polysilicon layer (Poly)22 is formed on the surface of the JFET region 122 and the JFET region mask layer 21. The portion of the first polysilicon layer 22 above the JFET region 122 is recessed toward the silicon carbide substrate 10 compared to the portion of the first polysilicon layer above the JFET region mask layer 21.
In one embodiment, the polysilicon layer may be formed by a thin film deposition technique such as physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, etc., and has a thickness of 1.3 μm, for example.
As shown in fig. 4, the JFET region mask layer 21 and the first polysilicon layer 22 are planarized to make the surface thereof away from the silicon carbide substrate 10 flush.
In one embodiment, the structure shown in fig. 3 may be polished by a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process to planarize the surface of the JFET region mask layer 21 and the first polysilicon layer 22 away from the silicon carbide substrate 10. The surface of the JFET region mask layer 21 is slightly polished away, and after polishing, the thickness of the JFET region mask layer 21 is approximately equal to the thickness of the first polysilicon layer 22, and is about 0.75 μm.
As shown in fig. 5, the JFET region mask layer 21 is removed, and the silicon carbide substrate 10 is ion implanted with the first polysilicon layer 22 as a mask layer for ion implantation of the well region 124 to form a P-type well region (PW) 124.
In an embodiment, the JFET region mask layer 21 is silicon dioxide, and the silicon dioxide is wet-etched by using a Buffered Oxide Etch (BOE) solution to remove the JFET region mask layer 21. The BOE etching solution has a low etching rate to the polysilicon, so that the pattern of the first polysilicon layer 22 is retained, and then PW implantation is performed using the retained first polysilicon layer 22 as a self-aligned mask layer for implantation in the well region 124.
Step S2: and forming a self-aligned source region and a channel region in the well region.
In an embodiment, step S2 includes forming a sidewall spacer covering the sidewall of the first polysilicon layer; and performing ion implantation on the well region by taking the side wall as a mask layer for the ion implantation of the source region to form the source region and the channel region.
Step S2 is described below with reference to fig. 6 to 8.
As shown in fig. 6, a silicon dioxide layer 23 and a second polysilicon layer 24 are sequentially formed on the well region 124 and the first polysilicon layer 22 to prepare for the subsequent sidewall spacers 13.
The silicon dioxide layer 23 is, for example, 0.1 μm thick and the second polysilicon layer 24 is, for example, 0.4 μm thick. The silicon dioxide layer 23 covers the well region 124 and the surface of the first polysilicon layer 22, and the second polysilicon layer 24 covers the surface of the silicon dioxide layer 23.
As shown in fig. 7, the second polysilicon layer 24 is etched by using the silicon dioxide layer 23 as an etch stop layer to form the sidewall 13, and the sidewall 13 includes the second polysilicon layer 24 and the silicon dioxide layer 23.
Specifically, the second polysilicon layer 24 is etched by a dry etching method, an end point detection method is used to generate an etching stop signal, and the etched profile is as shown in fig. 7, so as to form a 0.5 μm-wide sidewall (also called spacer)13 composed of a silicon dioxide layer 23 and the + second polysilicon layer 24. This way, compared to other sidewall spacers formed by a single dielectric, the silicon carbide substrate 10 is protected. Since the etching of the sidewall 13 can be stopped when the thin silicon dioxide layer 23 is etched, the silicon carbide substrate 10 is not damaged. And the side wall formed by other single media is etched by taking the silicon carbide substrate as an etching stop, and the dry etching gas can damage the silicon carbide substrate to form more interface traps.
As shown in fig. 8, the sidewall 13 is used as a mask layer for ion implantation of the source region 1242, and ion implantation is performed on the well region 124 to form an N + source region 1242 and a channel region 1244.
Specifically, the implantation of the N + source region 1242 is performed directly through the sidewall 13 without a mask layer of the N + source region 1242. The source regions 1242 formed in this way may be left-right symmetric on the MOSFET structure. The region of the PW well region 124 that includes the N + source region 1242 is blocked by the composite sidewall 13 structure formed by silicon dioxide + Poly and is not implanted with N +, which is equivalent to forming the N + source region 1242 by self-alignment, and the size of the region of the PW well region 124 that includes the source region 1242 is the channel length Lch of the MOSFET. Compared with the structure of the traditional sidewall-free process, the channel length Lch of the structure is determined by the size of the composite sidewall formed by silicon dioxide and Poly, and the minimum Lch required by theory can be directly designed without considering the registration deviation between the PW well region and the N + source region. In one embodiment, the target Lch size is 0.5 μm.
Step S3: and forming a contact region in the well region.
As shown in fig. 9, a portion of the source region 1242 and the silicon dioxide layer 23 are removed to expose the well region 124; and performing ion implantation on the exposed portion of the well 124 to form a P + contact region 1246.
Specifically, a Photoresist layer (Photoresist)25 is formed on the basis of the structure shown in fig. 8. In fig. 9, the regions of the source regions 1242 and the silicon dioxide layer 23 not covered by the photoresist layer 25 are etched away. Then, ion implantation is performed on the exposed portion of the well region 124. The implantation conditions may be 50-200 Kev energy and 1E 14-1E 16 dose to implant boron ions to form P + contact 1246.
Step S4: and forming a gate dielectric layer and a gate self-aligned to the source region.
Step S3 is described below with reference to fig. 10 to 16.
As shown in fig. 10, a shield layer 26 is formed covering the contact region 1246, the silicon dioxide layer 23 and the second polysilicon layer 24, wherein the lowest position of the shield layer 26 away from the surface of the silicon carbide substrate 10 exceeds the highest position of the first polysilicon layer 22 away from the surface of the silicon carbide substrate 10.
Specifically, the photoresist layer 25 shown in fig. 9 is removed, and then a mask layer 26 is deposited. Wherein the material of the shielding layer 26 is, for example, SiN, and the thickness is, for example, 1.0 μm, so that the lowest point of the shielding layer 26 is higher than the highest point of the first polysilicon layer 22, thereby facilitating the subsequent processing.
As shown in fig. 11, the planarization process is performed to make the surfaces of the mask layer 26, the second polysilicon layer 24, the silicon dioxide layer 23, and the first polysilicon layer 22, which are far from the silicon carbide substrate 10, flush.
Specifically, the planarization process may be performed using CMP. The thickness of the processed first polysilicon layer 22 is about 0.6 μm.
As shown in fig. 12, a thermal oxidation process is performed to oxidize the second polysilicon layer 24 and the first polysilicon layer 22 into silicon dioxide.
Specifically, the thermal oxidation treatment is performed under the conditions that the temperature is 900 ℃ to 1100 ℃, and oxygen or water vapor is introduced into the second polysilicon layer 24 and the first polysilicon layer 22 to oxidize the second polysilicon layer and the first polysilicon layer into silicon dioxide, so as to obtain the structure shown in fig. 12.
As shown in fig. 13, the mask layer 26 is used as a mask to perform a wet etching process on the silicon dioxide to expose the JFET region 122 and the channel region 1244.
Specifically, in the BOE mixed solution, wet etching of silicon dioxide is performed to expose the JFET region 122 and the channel region 1244 of the silicon carbide substrate 10, and at this time, only the SiN shield layer and a small amount of silicon dioxide are present on the silicon carbide substrate 10, and no polysilicon (Poly) is present, so that the high-temperature activation process can be performed.
As shown in fig. 14, a thermal oxidation process is performed on the exposed surfaces of the JFET region 122 and the channel region 1244 to form the gate dielectric layer 14. Then, a third polysilicon layer 27 is formed on the surface of the shielding layer 26 and the surface of the gate dielectric layer 14. Wherein the lowest position of the third polysilicon layer 27 away from the surface of the silicon carbide substrate 10 exceeds the highest position of the shield layer 26 away from the surface of the silicon carbide substrate 10.
Specifically, in the structure shown in fig. 13, the high-temperature gate oxidation is continued, and the gate oxidation thickness may have different thicknesses, such as 0.02 μm to 0.2 μm, according to different product requirements. The conditions for the gate oxidation may be oxidized in a nitrogen containing atmosphere such as NO or N2O. The thickness of the third polysilicon layer 27 may be 0.65 μm so that the lowest position of the third polysilicon layer 27 is higher than the upper portion of the SiN shield layer 26, as shown in fig. 14.
As shown in fig. 15, the planarization process is performed to make the surfaces of the shield layer 26 and the third polysilicon layer 27 away from the silicon carbide substrate 10 flush.
Specifically, the planarization process may be performed using CMP. The composite dielectric layer with the total thickness of 0.5 μm is obtained after the treatment, wherein the thickness of the gate oxide silicon dioxide is about 0.1 μm, and the thickness of the third polysilicon layer 27 is about 0.4 μm.
As shown in fig. 15 and 16, the shield layer 26 is removed, resulting in the gate electrode 15.
The gate 15 comprises a third polysilicon layer 27 in fig. 15. The gate dielectric layer 14 covers the source region 1242, the channel region 1244 and the JFET region 122, and the gate 15 is located on the gate dielectric layer 14.
Specifically, the shielding layer 26 on the surface can be removed by hot phosphoric acid treatment at 70 ℃, and the target structure of fig. 16 is obtained. The physical relative sizes of the source region 1242 and the gate 15 are formed by self-alignment in the previous step, and the source region 1242 and the gate 15 may not need additional overlay (overlay), so that a smaller length of the source region 1242 may be obtained, and the resistance value of the source region 1242 may be reduced.
Step S5: and forming a source electrode and a drain electrode.
As shown in fig. 17, source 17 is in contact with and connected to source regions 1242 and contact regions 1246 through via 162. The drain 18 is formed on the surface of the silicon carbide substrate 10 facing away from the source 17.
Step S5 includes, for example, interlayer dielectric (ILD) deposition, contact lithography/etching, and metallization steps.
Specifically, forming the source 17 may include forming an interlayer dielectric layer 16 overlying the contact region 1246, the gate dielectric layer 14, and the gate 15; forming a via 162 exposing the source region 1242 and the contact region 1246 on the interlayer dielectric layer 16; and forming a metal layer in the via 162 and on the interlayer dielectric layer 16. Finally, the silicon carbide-based planar gate MOSFET structure shown in fig. 17 is formed. The JFET region 122, the channel region 1244, and the N + source region 1242 are all formed by a self-aligned process, so that the optimal on-resistance Ron can be obtained by directly adopting an optimal size design without considering the alignment precision of photolithography.
As shown in fig. 17, the on-resistance Ron of the planar gate MOSFET is generally expressed by the formula: ron ═ Rcs + Rn + + Rch + Ra + rjjfet + Rd + Rsub + Rcd. In the formula, Rcs is a source metal-semiconductor contact resistor, Rn + is an N + source Region resistor, Rch is an inversion layer channel resistor, Ra is a JFET Region accumulation layer resistor below a gate oxide, RJFET is a JFET Region resistor, Rd is a Drift Region (Drift Region) resistor, Rsub is a substrate resistor, and Rcd is a drain metal-semiconductor contact resistor. Wherein, Rcs, Rd, Rsub and Rcd are all related to the requirements of material contact work function or voltage-resistant grade. The Rn +, Rch, Ra and RJFET are related to the requirements of device parameters and the photoetching alignment precision in the traditional process, because the JFET region, the PW region, the channel region, the N + and the polysilicon (Poly) grid alignment region in the traditional process are all manufactured in a photoetching mode, and for the stability of the process, the alignment allowance of 0.5-1.0 mu m is reserved in the regions, and the allowance can increase the size of the corresponding region, so that the resistance of the corresponding region can be passively increased.
According to the preparation method of the silicon carbide-based planar gate MOSFET, disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the manufacturing process of the silicon carbide-based planar gate MOSFET is redesigned by utilizing a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process, so that a full-process self-alignment process comprising junction region self-alignment, channel region self-alignment and N + source region self-alignment can be realized, the side wall structure is optimized, the silicon carbide substrate is prevented from being etched and damaged during dry etching, and the surface defects of a device are reduced. The Rn +, the Rch and the Rjfet resistances are reduced, and the purpose of reducing the whole silicon carbide MOSFET on-resistance Ron is finally achieved.
Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
