Description
发明名称:一种功率半导体芯片背面金属结构及其制备方法 技术领域
[0001] 本发明属于半导体芯片的结构和制造技术, 具体地, 属一种功率半导体芯片背 面金属结构及其制备方法。
背景技术
[0002] 功率半导体芯片如垂直双扩散金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管 (VDMOS) 和 快恢复二极管 (FRD) 被大量应用于幵关电源、 马达驱动等电力电子***中, 为 降低这一类芯片的导通损耗, 芯片背面的寄生电阻需尽可能小。 因此, 在芯片 的制造过程后段, 整个晶圆会从背面被减薄到大约 200um左右, 之后在背面淀积 金属层, 目前, 功率半导体芯片业界常用的背面金属结构是钛 /镍 /银组合, 如图 1所示, 钛 (Ti) 的作用是粘附层, 使背金属和硅之间保持紧密的物理接触; 镍 (Ni) 的作用是阻挡层, 防止封装过程中银扩散到硅表面; 银 (Ag) 的作用是 导电层, 在封装吋使芯片和焊料之间的连接电阻尽可能地小。 上述背金属结构 可以用蒸发、 溅射等方法淀积到晶圆背面, 其寄生电阻的主要成分是钛与硅之 间的接触电阻。 图 2示出了钛与硅形成接触后的能带结构, 图中的硅是 N型重掺 杂的, 这是绝大部分 VDMOS和 FRD采用的衬底材料, 如图所示, 钛与硅之间的 势垒是一个隧穿势垒, 硅导带 (EC) 中电子隧穿到钛中的几率取决于势垒高度 和宽度, 因此势垒的高度和宽度也就决定了钛与硅之间接触电阻的大小, 势垒 越低 /窄, 接触电阻越小。 该势垒的宽度取决于势垒高度和硅中 N型杂质 (磷或 砷) 的浓度, 通常为尽可能降低势垒宽度, 硅中 N型杂质的浓度已饱和或接近饱 和, 不可能进一步提高; 另一方面, 该势垒的高度取决于硅和钛的功函数之差 , 二者接触时, 电子发生转移直至双方的费米能级 (Ef) 相同。 但是, 钛的功函 数取决于材料本身, 是一个不能改变的量, 重掺杂的 N型硅的功函数也不能明显 改变。 因此, 目前常用的钛 /镍 /银结构的寄生电阻存在一个最小值, 且该值不能 够通过优化工艺条件而降低。

[0018] 如图 3所示, 本发明提供一种新的功率半导体芯片的背面金属结构, 所述的金 属结构自芯片背面 (Si) 开始依次为: Ni xSi y层 (厚度为 15nm) , 钛层 (厚度 为 lOOnm) , 镍层 (厚度为 200nm) , 银层 (厚度为 lOOOnm) ; 硅化镍 (Ni xSi y ) 的作用是降低金属与硅之间的接触电阻, 硅化镍 (NkSiy) 中, 镍与硅的原子 比例 (x:y)可以为 1:2、 1: 1或 2: 1。 较之于钛, 硅化镍具有相对较低的功函数, 因此 , 硅化镍与硅接触后, 形成的势垒高度相对较低, 且势垒宽度相对较窄, 如图 4 所示, 由于这样的势垒特性, 硅化镍与硅接触得到的接触电阻较之于常规结构 更低, 因此能够使功率半导体芯片具有更低的导通损耗。 由于硅化镍的作用仅 仅是调整势垒高度和宽度, 硅化镍的厚度不需要太厚, 大致在 2nm到 20nm之间 即可; 硅化镍的下方是钛, 与常规结构一样, 此处钛的作用是增强硅化镍和其 他金属层之间的粘附性; 钛的下方是镍, 此处镍的作用是防止封装过程中银扩 散到硅表面; 镍的下方是银, 银的作用是导电层, 在封装时使芯片和焊料之间 的连接电阻尽可能地小。
