Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the gate-oxide-film breakdown voltage in a semiconductor device having a trench structure by preventing the gate electrode from contacting the corner part at the upper part of a trench in connecting the gate electrode to an electrical conductor outside the trench, wherein contacting the corner part is a cause of lowering the gate-oxide-film breakdown voltage. <P>SOLUTION: The semiconductor device has such a structure that the gate electrode does not contact the corner part at the upper part of the trench. In the semiconductor device having the trench structure, the factor for lowering the breakdown voltage at the corner part at the upper part of the trench in termination is perfectly eliminated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は、トレンチ構造を有する半導体装置およびその製造法に関する。 The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having a trench structure and a method for manufacturing the same.

図3に従来のトレンチ(溝)構造を有する半導体装置の断面図を示す。半導体基板1にトレンチ10構造を有する半導体装置は、トレンチ10を含む半導体基板1表面に絶縁膜3が形成されている。トレンチ10内部の薄い絶縁膜3は、ゲート絶縁膜となる。更にトレンチ10内部には、ゲート電極7、4が埋め込まれている。ゲート電極7は外部の配線2に接続され任意の電圧に印加される。トレンチ10の上部にある角部5における電界集中等のために、角部5のゲート酸化膜絶縁耐圧が通常の平面型のゲート酸化膜絶縁耐圧より低く、これを改善するために、従来は、トレンチ底部の底角部6をテーパーエッチ等で丸めてトレンチ底部に電界が集中しないようにしていた(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
特開2001−044216号公報(図4b)
FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a conventional semiconductor device having a trench structure. In the semiconductor device having the trench 10 structure in the semiconductor substrate 1, the insulating film 3 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 including the trench 10. The thin insulating film 3 inside the trench 10 becomes a gate insulating film. Further, gate electrodes 7 and 4 are embedded in the trench 10. The gate electrode 7 is connected to the external wiring 2 and applied to an arbitrary voltage. Due to the electric field concentration at the corner 5 at the top of the trench 10, the gate oxide breakdown voltage of the corner 5 is lower than the normal planar gate oxide breakdown voltage, and in order to improve this, conventionally, The bottom corner portion 6 at the bottom of the trench is rounded by taper etching or the like so that the electric field does not concentrate on the bottom of the trench (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2001-044216 A (FIG. 4b)

トレンチ10が半導体基板1表面に周期的に並ぶ領域においては、ゲート電極7のように、トレンチ10内にゲート電極7を堆積した後、トレンチ10の上部と底部との間にゲート電極表面が位置するようにゲート電極7をエッチバックする為、トレンチ10底部の角部6の耐圧のみを向上させれば良い。しかしながら、ゲート絶縁膜3の絶縁耐圧低下はトレンチ10上端の角部5でも起きる。つまり、ゲート電極7と配線2との接続部(近傍)となるトレンチ上部5の角部の電界集中が起きる。
本発明は、トレンチ構造におけるゲート絶縁膜の絶縁耐圧低下の原因の一つである電界集中をなくすものである。つまり、トレンチ上部の角部にゲート電極接続用の配線2と半導体基板1との間で電界集中を起こさない構造である。
In the region where the trenches 10 are periodically arranged on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1, like the gate electrode 7, the gate electrode surface is positioned between the top and bottom of the trench 10 after the gate electrode 7 is deposited in the trench 10. In order to etch back the gate electrode 7, only the breakdown voltage of the corner 6 at the bottom of the trench 10 needs to be improved. However, the breakdown voltage drop of the gate insulating film 3 also occurs at the corner 5 at the upper end of the trench 10. That is, the electric field concentration occurs at the corner of the trench upper portion 5 that becomes the connection portion (near the gate) 7 and the wiring 2.
The present invention eliminates electric field concentration, which is one of the causes of lowering the withstand voltage of a gate insulating film in a trench structure. That is, the electric field is not concentrated between the gate electrode connection wiring 2 and the semiconductor substrate 1 at the corner of the upper part of the trench.

トレンチ構造を有する半導体装置において、終端のトレンチ上部の角部における耐圧低下の要因が完全に排除される。 In a semiconductor device having a trench structure, the cause of a decrease in breakdown voltage at the corner portion above the terminal trench is completely eliminated.

図1は本発明の実施例である。図3に示した従来のトレンチ構造を有する半導体装置では、ゲート電極を取り出すために終端(配線との接続部)のトレンチ上部の角部5がゲート電極に接触している。それに対し、図1では終端のトレンチ10内の配線3に接続されるゲート電極7は、他のゲート電極4と同様にトレンチ10の上部と底部との間にゲート電極表面が位置するようにエッチバックされている。
更に、その表面に、第2の絶縁膜8が形成されている。そして、第2の絶縁膜8には、ゲート電極7と配線2との接続を行なう為のコンタクトホール11が形成されている。コンタクトホール11は、ゲート電極7の表面中央部のみが露出するように設けられている。つまり、トレンチ10の上部の角部5が露出しないように設けられるものである。その上に、配線2が形成される。
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the semiconductor device having the conventional trench structure shown in FIG. 3, in order to take out the gate electrode, the corner 5 at the top of the trench at the terminal end (connection portion with the wiring) is in contact with the gate electrode. On the other hand, in FIG. 1, the gate electrode 7 connected to the wiring 3 in the terminal trench 10 is etched so that the surface of the gate electrode is located between the top and bottom of the trench 10 like the other gate electrodes 4. Has been back.
Further, a second insulating film 8 is formed on the surface. A contact hole 11 for connecting the gate electrode 7 and the wiring 2 is formed in the second insulating film 8. The contact hole 11 is provided so that only the central portion of the surface of the gate electrode 7 is exposed. That is, the upper corner portion 5 of the trench 10 is provided so as not to be exposed. A wiring 2 is formed thereon.

以上の構造により、配線2、及び配線2に接続されるゲート電極7が上部の角部5に接触することなく、電極2によってゲート電極7をトレンチ外部に取り出すことができている。そのため、図1に示したトレンチ構造を有する半導体装置において、上部の角部5の耐圧低下の要因が完全に排除される。   With the above structure, the gate electrode 7 can be taken out of the trench by the electrode 2 without the wiring 2 and the gate electrode 7 connected to the wiring 2 being in contact with the upper corner 5. For this reason, in the semiconductor device having the trench structure shown in FIG. 1, the cause of the lowering of the breakdown voltage of the upper corner portion 5 is completely eliminated.

以下に、製造法を記述する。図2aに示すように、半導体基板にトレンチ(溝)10を形成し、その表面に酸化膜3を形成する。酸化膜3の一部には、厚い部分が形成されており、厚い部分は、素子分離の絶縁膜となる。特に、トレンチ10の内部表面の絶縁膜3は、薄い酸化膜になっており、ゲート絶縁膜を形成する。そして、その絶縁膜3を介して、トレンチ内には、ゲート電極7、4が埋め込まれている。ゲート電極7、4はトレンチ内部にトレンチ10上部端部5と底部6との間にゲート電極表面が位置するように全体的にエッチバックする。   The manufacturing method is described below. As shown in FIG. 2a, a trench 10 is formed in a semiconductor substrate, and an oxide film 3 is formed on the surface thereof. A thick part is formed in a part of the oxide film 3, and the thick part becomes an insulating film for element isolation. In particular, the insulating film 3 on the inner surface of the trench 10 is a thin oxide film and forms a gate insulating film. Then, gate electrodes 7 and 4 are buried in the trench through the insulating film 3. The gate electrodes 7 and 4 are etched back so that the surface of the gate electrode is located between the upper end portion 5 and the bottom portion 6 of the trench 10 inside the trench.

つぎに図2bに示すように第2の絶縁膜8を半導体基板表面全体に堆積させる。
そして、終端のトレンチ上部の第2の絶縁膜8にコンタクトホール11を空け、図2cに示すような構造にする。このコンタクトホール11は、トレンチ10の壁に接触しないように設ける。
その後、図2dに示すように半導体基板表面全体に電極膜2を堆積させ、不必要な部分をエッチングし図1に示す構造を作成する。
Next, as shown in FIG. 2b, a second insulating film 8 is deposited on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate.
Then, a contact hole 11 is opened in the second insulating film 8 above the terminal trench, and a structure as shown in FIG. The contact hole 11 is provided so as not to contact the wall of the trench 10.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2d, the electrode film 2 is deposited on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate, and unnecessary portions are etched to produce the structure shown in FIG.
