In order to facilitate an understanding of the present application, a more complete description of the present application will now be provided with reference to the relevant figures. Preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. This application may, however, be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
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 application belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
As shown in connection with fig. 1a, the IGBT device comprises a drift region 100 of the first conductivity type, the drift region 100 being formed on a semiconductor substrate, the drift region 100 being in particular formed by epitaxial growth of the semiconductor substrate. The upper surface layer of the drift region 100 is formed with a body region 110 of the second conductivity type. The body region 110 has a first doped region 111 and a second doped region 112 formed therein, wherein the first doped region 111 has a first conductivity type, the second doped region 112 has a second conductivity type, and the doping concentration of the second doped region 112 is greater than that of the body region 110, and the first doped region 111 and the second doped region 112 are in contact with each other.
The first doped region 111 is provided with a trench penetrating the first doped region 111 and the body region 110 and extending into the drift region 100, i.e. the bottom end of the trench is located in the drift region 100, and the trench is spaced apart from the second doped region 112. The trench is filled with a filling structure comprising an oxide layer 121 formed on the inner wall of the trench, a first conductive structure 122 and a second conductive structure 123 isolated from each other. Within the same trench, the extension depth of the first conductive structure 122 is greater than the extension depth of the second conductive structure 123, i.e., the distance of the first conductive structure 122 from the bottom of the trench is smaller than the distance of the second conductive structure 123 from the bottom of the trench. Specifically, the oxide layer 121 is divided into an isolation oxide layer 121a and a gate oxide layer 121b, wherein the oxide layer between the first conductive structure 122 and the inner wall of the trench is the isolation oxide layer 121a, and the oxide layer between the second conductive structure 123 and the inner wall of the trench is the gate oxide layer 121b. Specifically, the first conductive structure 122 and the second conductive structure 123 may be polysilicon. An extension region 130 is also formed in the drift region 100, the extension region 130 being located below the trench and surrounding the bottom of the trench, and the extension region 130 being of the second conductivity type, the extension region 130 being isolated from the first conductive structure 122 by the oxide layer 121.
The IGBT device further comprises an emitter extraction structure 310 and a gate extraction structure (not shown in the figures), which emitter extraction structure 310 and gate extraction structure may be metal pillars, in particular tungsten metal. The emitter extraction structure 310 is in contact with the first doped region 111 and the second doped region 112, and the gate extraction structure is in contact with the second conductive structure 123 in the trench.
Wherein the first conductivity type is N type, and the second conductivity type is P type; alternatively, the first conductivity type is P-type and the second conductivity type is N-type.
It will be appreciated that the front side of the IGBT device should also have an emitter metal layer and a gate metal layer isolated from each other, the emitter extraction structures 310 are each connected to the emitter metal layer, and the gate extraction structures are each connected to the gate metal layer. It will be appreciated that the IGBT device further includes a buffer region 140 isolated from the body region and a collector region 150 in contact with the buffer region 140.
In the above IGBT device, the oxide layer between the second conductive structure 123 and the sidewall of the trench is the gate oxide layer 121b, the gate oxide layer 121b inside the trench and the second conductive structure 123 form a trench gate structure, and when a voltage is applied to the gate, a conducting channel is formed in the body region 110 at two sides of the trench, so as to provide a drift region current for the drift region 100, and make the IGBT conduct. Meanwhile, the bottom of the trench is also provided with a first conductive structure 122, and the first conductive structure 122 and the isolation oxide layer 121a in the drift region 100 form an inner field plate, so that the electric field distribution in the drift region 100 can be adjusted, a depletion region is formed in the drift region contacted with the inner field plate, and the withstand voltage level of the device is improved. Meanwhile, the first conductive structure 122 is formed at the bottom of the trench, so that the switching capacitance of the IGBT device can be reduced, and the conduction voltage drop of the device can be reduced. Since the extension region 130 is further formed in the drift region 100, the extension region 130 surrounds the bottom of the trench and has a conductivity type opposite to that of the drift region 100, and when the IGBT device is turned from the on state to the off state, the extension region 130 is combined with the remaining carriers of the drift region 100 to increase the switching speed. In addition, the problem of electric field concentration at the bottom of the trench can be solved by forming the extension region 130, and the breakdown position can be transferred from the trench to the interface between the extension region 130 and the drift region 100 when the device is reverse-voltage-resistant.
The first conductive structure 122 may be a floating structure, or may be electrically connected to an emitter to obtain an emitter potential. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1b, the first conductive structure 122 is led out from the trench end outside the cellular region, i.e. at the trench end, the first conductive structure 122 extends to the trench top and contacts the emitter connection structure 320, thereby obtaining an emitter potential, and thus enhancing the adjustment capability of the inner field plate and the extension region 130 to the electric field. In another embodiment, the first conductive structure 122 is a floating structure, the first conductive structure 122 is led out from the end of the trench, the first conductive structure 122 is not in contact with the emitter connecting structure 320, and an interlayer dielectric layer 200 with a certain thickness is further provided between the first conductive structure 122 and the emitter connecting structure, but the first conductive structure 122 can obtain the induced potential of the emitter, so that the first conductive structure 122 is electrified, and the electric connection with the emitter is realized in an induction manner, so that the leakage path of the emitter and the first conductive structure can be cut off, and the emitter leakage is avoided. In another embodiment, the first conductive structure 122 is a floating structure and is not electrically connected to the emitter, and cannot acquire the potential of the emitter, and therefore, the first conductive structure 122 is not charged.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1a, the second doped region 112 is located in the body region 110 at the bottom of the first doped region 111, and the second doped region 112 may be in contact with the first doped region 111. On this structure, the emitter extraction structure 310 may extend from the top of the structure through the first doped region 111 and into the second doped region 112 to electrically connect the emitter with the first doped region 111 and the second doped region 112.
