The terminology used herein in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Referring to fig. 1, the trench-gate mosfet includes a drift region 100, where the drift region 100 is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and the drift region may be formed by epitaxially growing the semiconductor substrate. The drift region 100 has a body region 110 formed on an upper surface thereof, and the body region 110 has an active region 111 formed on an upper surface thereof.
The source region 111 is opened with a trench penetrating the source 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. The trench is filled with a first conductive structure 130 and a second conductive structure 140 which are isolated from each other, and oxide layers 120 are formed between the first conductive structure 130 and the inner wall of the trench and between the second conductive structure 140 and the inner wall of the trench, wherein the oxide layer 120 between the first conductive structure 130 and the inner wall of the trench is a gate oxide layer, the oxide layer between the second conductive structure 140 and the inner wall of the trench is an isolation oxide layer, and the oxide layer 120 filled in the trench and the first conductive structure 130 and the second conductive structure 140 which are isolated from each other jointly form a filling structure. In the same trench, the depth of the first conductive structure 130 is greater than the depth of the second conductive structure 140, that is, the distance from the first conductive structure 130 to the bottom of the trench is less than the distance from the second conductive structure 140 to the bottom of the trench, and the portion of the first conductive structure 130 having the depth exceeding the depth of the bottom of the second conductive structure 140 is defined as a field plate adjusting structure, that is, the portion of the first conductive structure located below the second conductive structure 140 is a field plate adjusting structure.
The drift region 100 further has a first doped region 160 formed therein, the top of the first doped region 160 is connected to the body region 110, the first doped region 160 is spaced apart from the trench, the bottom depth of the first doped region 160 exceeds the top depth of the field plate adjustment structure, i.e. there is an overlap region between the first doped region 160 and the field plate adjustment structure in the lateral projection.
The trench gate mosfet further includes a source lead-out structure 310 and a gate lead-out structure (not shown), where the source lead-out structure 310 and the gate lead-out structure may be metal pillars, and may be tungsten metal. The source lead-out structure 310 is connected to the source region 111 and the body region 110, and the gate lead-out structure is connected to the second conductive structure 140 in the trench.
The drift region 100 and the source region 111 have a first conductivity type, and the body region 110 and the first doped region 160 have a second conductivity type. The first conductive type is an N type, and the second conductive type is a P type; or the first conduction type is P type, and the second conduction type is N type. It is understood that the front surface of the trench gate mosfet further has a source metal layer and a gate metal layer which are isolated from each other, the source lead-out structures 310 are connected to the source metal layer, the gate lead-out structures are connected to the gate metal layer, and a drain metal layer is further formed on the back surface of the trench gate mosfet.
In the trench gate mosfet, on one hand, the top source region 111 is connected to the source metal layer through the source lead-out structure 310, the bottom drift region 100 is connected to the drain metal layer as the drain region, the body region 110 in the middle of the trench forms the channel region, the trench penetrates through the body region 110 and extends into the drift region 100, the oxide layer 120 and the second conductive structure 140 are arranged in the trench and the second conductive structure 140 is connected to the gate metal layer through the gate lead-out structure, that is, the trench and the gate oxide layer and the second conductive structure 140 therein form a trench gate structure, thereby forming the trench gate mosfet. By means of this trench-gate structure, a longitudinal conducting channel can be formed in the body region 110.
On the other hand, the first conductive structure 130 is further formed in the bottom of the trench, the portion of the first conductive structure located below the second conductive structure 140 is a field plate adjusting structure, the field plate adjusting structure and the isolation oxide layer in contact with the field plate adjusting structure form an inner field plate, so that the electric field distribution in the drift region 100 can be adjusted, the drift region in contact with the inner field plate forms a depletion region, and the depletion of the drift region 100 is enhanced. And a first doped region 160 is further formed in the drift region 100, the first doped region 160 has a source potential and a conductivity type opposite to that of the drift region 100, the first doped region 160 and the drift region 100 form an inverse PN junction, so that the drift region in contact with the first doped region 160 also forms a depletion region, further enhancing the depletion of the drift region 100. Meanwhile, in the present application, the bottom depth of the first doping region 160 exceeds the top depth of the field plate adjustment structure, so that the depletion region formed by the first doping region 160 and the depletion region formed by the inner field plate are laterally distributed side by side, further increasing the withstand voltage of the drift region 100. Compared with a common trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, the trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor in the application has higher breakdown voltage, namely, under the condition that the same breakdown voltage is ensured, the drift region 100 of the trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor in the application can have higher doping concentration, and therefore the trench gate metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor in the application also has lower on-resistance. Meanwhile, in the trench, the first conductive structure 130 connected to the source metal layer is closer to the bottom of the trench than the second conductive structure 140 connected to the gate, so that the parasitic capacitance between the gates and the drain can be reduced, and the device has better characteristics.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the sidewalls of the first doped region 160 include a first portion 161 extending downward from the bottom of the body region 110 and a first portion 162 extending downward from the first portion, wherein the first portion 161 is parallel to the sidewalls of the trench, the longitudinal cross-section of the first portion 161 is rectangular, and the first portion 161 is spaced apart from the sidewalls of the trench; the second portion 162 is gradually inclined from top to bottom toward the inside of the first doped region 160, the longitudinal section of the second portion 162 is in an inverted trapezoid or an inverted triangle, and the distance between the second portion 162 and the sidewall of the trench gradually increases from top to bottom. At the same time, the interface of the first portion 161 and the second portion 162 (shown in dashed lines in fig. 2) passes through the field plate adjustment structure, i.e., through the first conductive structure 130 within the trench but not through the second conductive structure 140. In this application, the first doped region 160 is spaced apart from the trench, that is, the first doped region 160 is spaced apart from the trench gate, so as to pass the current between the drain and the source. In the mosfet, since the body region 110 only forms a narrower channel region near the trench sidewall for current to pass through, the current density near the trench is also the largest in the drift region 100, and the farther away from the trench, the smaller the current density, and the first doped region 160 can be disposed in a region with a small current density to reduce the current blocking effect, i.e., increasing the distance between the first doped region 160 and the trench is beneficial to reducing the on-resistance of the VDMOS. However, the larger the distance between the first doping region 160 and the field plate adjustment structure is, the larger the spacing between adjacent depletion layers is, and thus the weaker the withstand voltage capability is. In this embodiment, the shape of the first doped region 160 is further improved, so that the distance between the upper sidewall of the first doped region 160 and the field plate adjusting structure is smaller, a densely distributed depletion layer is formed, and the lower sidewall gradually inclines inward to increase the distance between the first doped region and the trench, that is, to reduce the area of the first doped region 160, thereby reducing the on-resistance of the device while ensuring the voltage endurance capability. Furthermore, the depletion layer formed by the first doped region 160 and the depletion layer formed by the inner field plate extend all around and then are connected with each other, so that the voltage withstanding effect is better.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the mosfet has a plurality of first doped regions 160 and a plurality of trenches, each of the trenches is filled with the filling structure, and the first doped regions 160 and the trenches are alternately disposed. In this embodiment, a plurality of trenches are provided to form a plurality of trench gate structures, which can increase current density, and a first doped region is provided between each trench, so that the distribution density of the depletion region is increased under the combined action of the first doped region and the field plate in the trench, thereby further improving the withstand voltage.
Further, as shown in fig. 3a, a cross-sectional view taken along a section line AA' in fig. 1 in one embodiment is shown, wherein the cross-section of the trench is a long bar shape, and a plurality of first doping regions 160 are disposed between adjacent trenches and spaced side by side along the length direction of the trench. In this embodiment, the first doping region 160 disposed between adjacent trenches is segmented, so that the occupied space of the first doping region 160 can be reduced, thereby reducing the on-resistance of the device. In one embodiment, the depletion regions formed by the adjacent first doping regions 160 extend to the periphery and are connected to each other, so as to reduce the on-resistance and increase the withstand voltage of the device.
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3b, a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA' of FIG. 1 shows another embodiment, wherein the cross-section of the trench is a long strip, a first doped region 160 is between adjacent trenches, and the first doped region 160 is a long strip. In this embodiment, a strip-shaped first doping region 160 is disposed between adjacent trench gate structures, so that the depletion capability of the first doping region 160 to the drift region 100 can be enhanced, and the device withstand voltage can be enhanced.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, an interlayer dielectric layer 200 is further formed on the source region 111 and the trench, the interlayer dielectric layer 200 may be specifically silicon oxide, and the source lead-out structure 310 penetrates through the interlayer dielectric layer 200 and the source region 111 and extends into the body region 110 to connect with the source region 111 and the body region 110. The gate lead-out structure is formed right above the trench, penetrates through the interlayer dielectric layer 200 and is connected with the second conductive structure 140 in the trench.
