Description
本发明属于微电子技术领域,具体涉及一种具有掩蔽层结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件。
宽带隙半导体材料碳化硅具有较大的禁带宽度,较高的临界击穿电场,高热导率和高电子饱和漂移速度等优良物理和化学特性,适合制作高温、高压、大功率及抗辐照的半导体器件。在功率电子领域中,功率金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(MOSFET,Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor-Field-Effect-Transistor)已经被广泛引入,它具有栅极驱动简单,开关时间短等特点。
槽栅结构MOSFET是继MOSFET之后新发展的一种高效功率开关器件,它采用沟槽型栅极结构场效应管,不仅继承了MOS场效应管输入阻抗高(≥10
8Ω)、驱动电流小(0.1μA左右)的优点,还具有耐高压、工作电流大、输出功率高、跨导线性好和开关速度快等优良特性。由于它将电子管与功率晶体管的优点集于一身,因此在开关电源、逆变器、电压放大器、功率放大器等电路中获得广泛应用。因此高击穿电压、大电流、低导通电阻是功率MOSFET器件最为关键的指标。
目前,在传统的槽栅结构MOSFET器件中已经能够通过设计使其达到较高的耐压水平,但是在实际应用中,槽栅结构MOSFET器件中的栅氧化层拐角处电场集中导致栅介质层击穿,使得器件在低于额定击穿电压下发 生击穿,严重影响到器件的正向阻断特性。

实施例一
请参见图1,图1是本发明实施例提供的一种具有掩蔽层结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件的结构示意图,如图所示,本实施例的具有掩蔽层结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件包括,从下至上依次设置的漏电极1、N型掺杂衬底层 2、N型漂移区3和P型基区4。具体地,漏电极1为Ti/Ni/Al合金金属层,厚度为2-5μm。N型掺杂衬底层2作为重掺杂衬底用于减小器件导通电阻并传输电流,其厚度为2-5μm,掺杂浓度为5×10

请结合参加图2和图6,如图所示,在其他实施例中,P型源区5呈环状,且环绕P型基区4上表面的四周,N型源区6呈环状,位于P型源区5环状的内侧,且N型源区6的外侧面与P型源区5的内侧面相接触。槽栅结构7包括栅介质沟槽11和位于栅介质沟槽11内部的导电材料12,其中,栅介质沟槽11伸出P型基区4上表面的部分位于N型源区6上表面的中心,且与N型源区6的内侧面相接触。进一步地,源电极9设置在P型源区5和N型源区6上,栅电极10设置在导电材料12的上表面。在本实施例中,P型源区5用于连接P型基区4和源电极9,其长度c为0.25-1μm,厚度d为0.25-1μm,掺杂浓度为1×10

更进一步地,槽栅结构7的下方设置有掩蔽层8,掩蔽层8的上表面与槽栅结构7的下表面接触,未与P型基区4的下表面接触,且掩蔽层8仅覆盖槽栅结构7的下表面的一部分。在本实施例中,掩蔽层8的长度a≥0.5μm,厚度b为0.5-1μm,掩蔽层8为P型掺杂,掺杂浓度为1×10
18-5×10
18cm
-3,通过离子注入工艺形成。
在半导体器件中,若没有掩蔽层8,当器件处于正向阻断工作模式下,由于栅介质沟槽11拐角处电场聚集使得器件在小于理想击穿电压下击穿,在栅介质沟槽11的底部增加掩蔽层8,由于掩蔽层8为P型掺杂区,与N型漂移区3之间形成PN结耗尽区,器件正向阻断时漏极压降降落于所述PN结处,改变了器件的电场分布,降低了栅介质沟槽11拐角处的电场强度,提高了半导体器件的击穿电压,而且,由于掩蔽层8的存在,减小了器件的栅电极10与漏电极1的交叠面积,缓解了两电极之间的电容耦合,减小了栅漏电容,使得器件工作过程中给栅漏电容充电的电荷量减少,增大了器件的开关速度,同时也减少了器件的开关功耗。
掩蔽层8的长度最短为0.5μm是考虑到如果长度太短,掩蔽层8与N型漂移区3之间形成的PN结对没有被掩蔽层8覆盖的栅介质沟槽11拐角起不到保护作用,容易使得器件在达不到额定击穿电压之前被击穿,而且本实施例的具有掩蔽层结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件,掩蔽层8与N型漂移区3的接触面积较小,可以有效的增大器件的导通电流,这是因为PN接触面积越大,形成的耗尽区面积越大,导电路径越小,电阻越大。
在本实施例中,当所述MOSFET器件应用在高频时,可以通过内部金属连线将掩蔽层8与源电极9相连接,当所述MOSFET器件应用在常开型开关时,掩蔽层8不连接电极。
本实施例的具有掩蔽层结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件,通过在槽栅结构7的底部增加掩蔽层8,由于掩蔽层8为P型掺杂区,与N型漂移区3之间形成PN结耗尽区,器件正向阻断时漏极压降降落于所述PN结处,改变了器件的电场分布,降低了槽栅结构7拐角处的电场强度,提高了半导体器件的击穿电压,而且本实施例的掩蔽层8与N型漂移区3的接触面积较小,可以有效的增大器件的导通电流。

-3,栅介质沟槽11和导电材料12形成槽栅结构7。
形成电极金属,具体地,请参见图7g,在导电材料12的上表面淀积金属层,作为栅电极10,在P型源区5和N型源区6的上表面淀积金属层,作为源电极9,在N型掺杂衬底层2的下表面淀积金属层,作为漏电极1。源电极9和漏电极1为Ti/Ni/Al合金金属层,栅电极10为Al金属层,其厚度均为2-5μm。
实施例二
本实施例提供了另一种具有掩蔽层结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件,请参见图3,图3是本发明实施例提供的另一种具有掩蔽层结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件的结构示意图,如图所示,本实施例的具有掩蔽层结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件包括,从下至上依次设置的漏电极1、N型掺杂衬底层2、N型漂移区3和P型基区4。具体地,漏电极1为Ti/Ni/Al合金金属层,厚度为2-5μm。N型掺杂衬底层2作为重掺杂衬底用于减小器件导通电阻并传输电流,其厚度为2-5μm,掺杂浓度为5×10

15-1×10
16cm
-3,因为掺杂浓度过高,器件导通电阻减小,器件击穿电压会降低。P型基区4作为轻掺杂P型源区用于将漏电极1与源电极9隔离并在栅电极10开启时形成导电沟道,厚度 为0.5-3μm,厚度过大会增加器件导电沟道的长度,使得导通电阻增大,掺杂浓度为1×10

-3,因为掺杂浓度过高,器件的阈值电压偏高,栅充电速度降低,对器件栅电极驱动电路要求增大,掺杂浓度过低,器件阈值电压偏低,容易误开启,所以综合考虑选择掺杂浓度为1×10
17-3×10
17cm
-3。

请结合参见图4和图6,如图所示,P型源区5呈环状,且环绕P型基区4上表面的四周,N型源区6呈环状,位于P型源区5环状的内侧,且N型源区6的外侧面与P型源区5的内侧面相接触。槽栅结构7包括栅介质沟槽11和位于栅介质沟槽11内部的导电材料12,其中,栅介质沟槽11伸出P型基区4上表面的部分位于N型源区6上表面的中心,且与N型源区6的内侧面相接触。进一步地,源电极9设置在P型源区5和N型源区6上,栅电极10设置在导电材料12的上表面。在本实施例中,P型源区5用于连接P型基区4和源电极9,其长度e为0.25-1μm,厚度f为0.25-1μm,掺杂浓度为1×10
19-1×10

3。栅介质沟槽11为二氧化硅层沟槽,用于形成凹槽型的导电沟道,其厚度i为50-60nm,所述二氧化硅层通过干氧氧化工艺与湿氧氧化工艺制备而成。导电材料12通过淀积工艺填充在栅介质沟槽11的内部,用于控制器件的开启与关断,其材料为硼离子掺杂的多晶硅材料,掺杂浓度为1×10

更进一步地,槽栅结构7的下方设置有掩蔽层8,掩蔽层8为T型结构,其上表面与槽栅结构7的下表面接触,且未与P型基区4的下表面接触。具体地,掩蔽层8包括第一掩蔽部13和第二掩蔽部14,其中,第一掩蔽部13和第二掩蔽部14均为长方形结构,且第一掩蔽部13的长度a与栅介质沟槽11的长度相同,第二掩蔽部14的长度b小于第一掩蔽部13的长度a。在本实施例中,第一掩蔽部13的厚度c为0.3-0.5μm,第二掩蔽部14的长度b为0.5-1μm,厚度d为0.3-0.5μm。第一掩蔽部13和第二掩蔽部14形成上宽下窄的T型结构。
在本实施例中,掩蔽层8为P型掺杂,掺杂浓度为1×10
18-5×10
18cm
-3,掩蔽层8通过外延工艺形成。在半导体器件中,若没有掩蔽层8,当器件处于正向阻断工作模式下,由于栅介质沟槽11拐角处电场聚集使得器件在小于理想击穿电压下击穿,在栅介质沟槽11的底部增加掩蔽层8,由于掩蔽层8为P型掺杂区,与N型漂移区3之间形成PN结耗尽区,器件正向阻断时漏极压降降落于所述PN结处,改变了器件的电场分布,降低了栅介质沟槽11拐角处的电场强度,提高了半导体器件的击穿电压,而且,由于掩蔽层8的存在,减小了器件的栅电极10与漏电极1的交叠面积,缓解了两电极之间的电容耦合,减小了栅漏电容,使得器件工作过程中给栅漏电容充电的电荷量减少,增大了器件的开关速度,同时也减少了器件的开关功耗。
在本实施例中,当所述MOSFET器件应用在高频时,可以通过内部金属连线将掩蔽层8与源电极9相连接,当所述MOSFET器件应用在常开型开关时,掩蔽层8可不连接电极。
