Description

SiC MOSFET integrated with junction barrier Schottky diode and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a SiC MOSFET integrated with a junction barrier Schottky diode and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Power semiconductor devices have been used as a core element in power electronics systems, and have been an essential electronic element for production and life since the invention in the last 70 th century. Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) structures were developed in the mid-70 s of the 20 th century, which have greatly improved performance compared to bipolar transistor BJTs, and the main problems of bipolar transistor structures are low current gain in high voltage applications and the inability of power bipolar transistors to operate at high frequencies due to the long charge storage times of minority carrier injection in the drift region. In inductive load applications, the hard switching process can lead to destructive failure. In the aspect of device application, the voltage control device is used for replacing current control, so that the problem can be avoided, the MOSFET gate structure is high in input impedance, simple to drive, excellent in switching performance in the high-frequency field and capable of bearing high voltage and large current, and therefore the MOSFET gate structure is developed into one of core electronic components in a modern power electronic circuit, is widely applied to various fields of traffic, communication, household appliances and aerospace, and the performance of a power electronic system is greatly improved by the application of the MOSFET.
Silicon power devices have been significantly improved over the past few decades, however, these devices are approaching the performance limits defined by the basic material properties of silicon, with further improvement being achieved only by migration to more powerful semiconductor materials, silicon carbide (SiC) being a wide bandgap semiconductor material with excellent physical and electrical properties suitable as a substrate material for high voltage, low loss power devices. The application of the SiC material in the power MOSFET device can necessarily further improve various performances, and the device plays a larger role in practical application.
In recent years, siC MOSFETs have been successfully commercialized and exhibit excellent performance, which in some applications has been comparable to Si-based IGBTs, but there is still room for optimization in some critical parameters, in particular how to further reduce the on-resistance Rds, on, the gate-to-drain charge Qgd and gate-to-drain capacitance Cgd, thereby improving the high frequency quality factor (HF-FOM) of the device. Better device performance is achieved in performance by optimizing the threshold voltage and increasing the forward blocking voltage. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional planar gate SiC MOSFET half cell structure. When the SiC MOSFET is applied to an inductive load circuit, a freewheeling diode is usually connected in parallel in the circuit, when the current of the inductive load suddenly increases or decreases, abrupt voltage is generated at two ends of the load, which may possibly destroy devices or other elements, when the SiC MOSFET is used together with the freewheeling diode, the load current may change gently, so as to avoid abrupt voltage change, a certain protection effect is achieved on the devices, but due to the serious bipolar degradation phenomenon of the parasitic body diode of the SiC MOSFET, the larger voltage drop during the turn-on and the serious reverse recovery phenomenon during the turn-off, the switching loss of the devices is inevitably increased, so that the parasitic body diode of the SiC MOSFET is not suitable for being used as the freewheeling diode, therefore, a freewheeling diode is usually connected in parallel in the circuit, although the freewheeling diode avoids the parasitic body diode problem of the SiC MOSFET, the design cost is additionally increased, and the metal interconnection problem exists between the freewheeling diode and the SiC MOSFET which is connected in parallel externally, which may result in the reliability of the devices being reduced, and the capacitance and the switching loss may also be increased. Because of the above problems, attempts have been made to integrate a diode inside the SiC MOSFET to achieve this function, not only avoiding the parasitic body diode problem, but also without separately connecting a freewheeling diode outside the device, since the on-voltage drop of the Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) is low and the reverse recovery process is very short, it is common to choose to integrate the SBD to achieve the freewheeling diode effect, but SBD has a serious problem that a relatively large reverse leakage current due to the schottky barrier drop at high reverse bias will result in a difficult-to-ignore off-state loss, so that a novel diode needs to be integrated to improve this problem.

The working principle of the invention is as follows: the junction barrier Schottky diode is integrated in the three-dimensional y direction while the cell width of the SiC MOSFET is not increased, so that the problems of overlarge forward turn-on voltage drop, overlong reverse recovery time and the like of the parasitic body diode of the SiC MOSFET are effectively solved, the circuit design requirement in actual use is met, the circuit design cost is reduced, and the problems of reduced reliability, increased capacitance and switching loss and the like of devices caused by the metal interconnection problem are avoided.
In the inductive load circuit, when the gate voltage is greater than the threshold voltage of the device, the SiC MOSFET is in a conducting state, when the drain electrode is connected to a high potential and the source electrode is connected to a low potential, the electron current of the n+ source region 4 flows to the JFET region through the channel and spreads in the N-drift region 2, and when the SiC MOSFET is in a conducting state, the device charges the inductor in the inductive load circuit, and a certain amount of charge is stored on the inductor. When the grid voltage is smaller than the threshold voltage of the device and becomes 0, the SiC MOSFET is in an off state, the load current is required to flow through the freewheeling diode, and the freewheeling diode is forward biased at the moment. When the device is turned on again, the load current flows to the SiC MOSFET, and at the moment, the load current flowing to the junction barrier Schottky diode is reduced, and the reverse recovery time of the junction barrier Schottky diode is short, so that the influence on the switching speed of the device is small, and the switching characteristic of the SiC MOSFET is improved.
The invention has the beneficial effects that the problems of overlarge forward opening voltage drop, overlong reverse recovery time and the like of the parasitic body diode are effectively solved by integrating the junction barrier Schottky diode in the three-dimensional y direction of the SiC MOSFET while almost not influencing the performance of the SiC MOSFET. And the integrated junction barrier schottky diode has less reverse leakage current than the internal integrated SBD.
In addition, the mode of integrating the junction barrier Schottky diode in the three-dimensional y direction does not need to additionally increase the area of an active region, but only forms the junction barrier Schottky diode in a source metal contact region through special layout design processing, so that the cost of a chip is reduced. Meanwhile, the design method does not need to add an extra photoetching plate and does not complicate the manufacturing process. And the integration level of the mode of integrating the junction barrier Schottky diode in the three-dimensional y direction is higher, the width of a source metal contact area is not increased, and meanwhile, good ohmic contact and Schottky contact can be formed. Through the interval distribution of the three-dimensional y direction N+ and P+, when the device is conducted, current needs to flow along the y axis direction of the N+ source region 4, and then the current reaches the source metal 9 through the N+ source region 4 of the strip-shaped structure between the P+ source regions 5 in the y direction, so that a ballasting resistor is introduced into the source of the SiC MOSFET, the thermal stability of the device is improved, and the reliability of the device in practical application is effectively improved.

As shown in fig. 15-17, a seventh embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a SiC MOSFET integrated with a junction barrier schottky diode, wherein the steps 1-5 and 7-13 are the same as those in embodiment 1, and the different steps are:
step 6-1: forming an N+ source region 4 by ion implantation of N type impurities for a plurality of times at a certain target temperature and different energies and dosages, wherein the implantation region of the N+ source region 4 is shown in FIG. 15;
step 6-2: depositing a SiO2 film by PECVD at low temperature; depositing a layer of polycrystal by LPCVD at high temperature, wherein the thickness of the polycrystal is larger than that of the SiO2 film as a mask during ion implantation;

the half cell structure of the SiC MOSFET integrated with the junction barrier schottky diode formed in this embodiment is shown in fig. 17, in which a ballast resistor and a JFET structure are introduced into the active region, a high-concentration n+ implantation region ensures good ohmic contact, and a low-concentration N-implantation region introduces a ballast resistor into the source region, which is helpful for reducing the current density in the high-voltage state. Meanwhile, the low-concentration N-implantation region and the P+ implantation regions at the two sides form the JFET, and when the JFET region is conducted in the forward direction, the depletion region is narrower in width due to lower voltage, so that the current circulation cannot be influenced. When short circuit occurs, the power voltage directly acts on the two ends of the source and drain of the SiC MOSFET, so that the potential of the P injection region is very high, the width of the depletion region is wider, the JFET region is pinched off, the saturation current density is greatly reduced, and the short circuit robustness of the device is improved.
The invention can integrate the junction barrier Schottky diode in the device while hardly affecting the performance of the SiC MOSFET, meets the circuit design requirement in actual use, reduces the circuit design cost, and avoids the problems of reduced reliability, increased capacitance and switching loss of the device caused by the metal interconnection problem.
