Description

Planar SiC MOSFET containing rare earth gate dielectric layer and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor power devices, in particular to a planar SiC MOSFET containing a rare earth gate dielectric layer and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
MOSFETs are a type of switching device that can control large currents and voltages with small voltages, and this feature is widely used in analog circuits and digital circuits. After the grid voltage of the device reaches the threshold voltage, holes at the P well region position form a corresponding N channel under the action of reverse voltage, and the source electrode and the drain electrode are connected to form a conducting state.
Due to the nature of the material itself, si devices perform poorly in some extreme environments (e.g., high temperature, high pressure, high power, and high radiation), failing to meet the needs of the relevant application. The third generation semiconductor material silicon carbide (SiC) overcomes the defects of small band gap, low critical breakdown field strength, low thermal conductivity and the like of Si materials by the excellent physical characteristics, and becomes an ideal material for replacing Si. Silicon carbide (SiC) has a wide band gap, a high critical electric field, and a high thermal conductivity, and is the most promising material for next-generation power device applications.
At present, the cell size of the SiC MOSFET device is reduced along with the continuous reduction of the size of the power device, and the thickness of the gate oxide layer of the device is also reduced along with the continuous reduction of the size of the power device. When the thickness of the gate oxide is reduced to some extent, tunneling may occur in the SiC MOSFET device at the gate location, and in order to maintain the stability of the device gate, a high dielectric constant (high K) oxide layer is typically introduced in the prior art as the gate oxide of the device, with the most common high K oxide comprising Al 2 O 3 ,HfO 2 ,TiO 2 Etc. Due to the fact that in Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 The dipole layer at the interface will have unavoidable effect on threshold voltage, when the gate oxide layer of the SiC MOSFET device is Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 At this time, the threshold voltage of the SiC MOSFET device will fluctuate significantly. Therefore, how to improve the stability of the threshold voltage of the SiC MOSFET device is a technical problem to be overcome. Secondly, the prior SiC MOSFET device has higher peak field intensity and higher current density, and the characteristics lead the device to beIs susceptible to cosmic radiation inducers. Specifically, when the ray particles penetrate the device, a large number of electron hole pairs are generated by collision between the particles and the crystal lattice, and the phenomenon that a peak electric field is transferred to an epitaxial layer and a drift layer occurs in the device under the conditions of high temperature, high pressure and high current. The collection of a large number of holes and electrons will cause the peak electric field, temperature, etc. of the device to further rise, and at the same time, more electron-hole pairs are excited, so that the device burns out. How to reduce the shift of the peak electric field under the condition of large current is a technical difficulty to be overcome. In addition, the contact performance between the source metal layer and the n+ source region of the SiC MOSFET device is relatively poor. Therefore, how to improve the source contact performance of the device is also a technical problem to be solved.
