Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of semiconductor device and manufacture method thereof, particularly be used for the semiconductor device and the manufacture methods thereof such as high withstand voltage landscape insulation bar type bipolar transistor of switching power unit.
Background technology
In recent years, because the position of global warming countermeasure, this thing of power of awaiting orders of attenuating household appliances etc. receives much concern the switching power unit that the power consumption when people's strong request is awaited orders is very low.
Below, existing switching power unit is described.
Figure 36, one of circuit structure of the existing switching power unit of expression example.As shown in figure 36, existing switching power unit has upstream rectifying filter circuit 411, main body circuit 412, transformer 404 and downstream current rectifying and wave filtering circuit 421.
Particularly, be input to the alternating voltage between the input 416 and 417 of upstream rectifying filter circuit 411, carried out rectifying and wave-filtering, be provided for main body circuit 412 as input direct voltage by upstream rectifying filter circuit 411.At this, upstream rectifying filter circuit 411 has diode bridge 431 and input capacitor 432, is carried out voltage after the full-wave rectification by diode bridge 431 and is transfused to capacitor 432 and carries out filtering, is provided for main body circuit 412 again.
In main body circuit 412, be provided with thyristor 413 and voltage control circuit 414.Described thyristor 413 and voltage control circuit 414 can be integrated in the chip piece.Be provided with winding 441 in transformer 404 one time, a described winding 441 and thyristor 413 are connected in series, and are provided for the described circuit that is connected in series from the input direct voltage of upstream rectifying filter circuit 411.
The control end of thyristor 413 is connected on the voltage control circuit 414, constitutes like this, that is: the conducting state of thyristor 413 and cut-off state are subjected to the control of the signal that voltage control circuit 414 exported.
In transformer 404, be provided with winding 441 and have the secondary winding 442 of magnetic coupling relation and have the auxiliary winding 443 of magnetic coupling relation with winding 441 and secondary winding 442.If thyristor 413 carries out switch work, discontinuous current ground flows through winding 441 one time, is just brought out on secondary winding 442 and auxiliary winding 443 and produces voltage.
Downstream current rectifying and wave filtering circuit 421 to being carried out rectifying and wave-filtering by the voltage that brings out and be created on the secondary winding 442, generates VD, again from output 426 and 427 these VD of output.Particularly, downstream current rectifying and wave filtering circuit 421 has diode 422, choking-winding 423, first output capacitor 424 and second output capacitor 425.The choking-winding 423 and first output capacitor 424 and second output capacitor 425, be connected to each other shape for π, be made as such, that is: carried out halfwave rectifier by the voltage that brings out and be created on the secondary winding 442 by diode 422, carried out filtering by choking-winding 423, first output capacitor 424 and second output capacitor 425 again.
Be created in the voltage at auxiliary winding 443 two ends, be imported into by voltage control circuit 414 in the control end of thyristor 413.In other words, switching power unit shown in Figure 36 is that (ringing choke converter: the device of mode ring chokes converter), thyristor 413 carries out self-energizing switches work according to the voltage that is created on the auxiliary winding 443 to RCC.
Voltage between the output 426 and 427 feeds back to voltage control circuit 414 by optical coupler 429.Such as, under the situation that voltage between output 426 and 427 has descended, voltage control circuit 414 prolongs the ON time of thyristor 413 forcibly, on the contrary, under the situation that the voltage between output 426 and 427 has risen, voltage control circuit 414 shortens the ON time of thyristor 413 forcibly.Like this, the voltage that appears on output 426 and 427 just is maintained certain constant value.
Because in voltage control circuit 414 inside, utilize the voltage brought out and to be created on the auxiliary winding 443 to generate complementary direct voltage, so when starting except switching power unit, this complementary direct voltage of voltage control circuit 414 usefulness carries out work.
Remark additionally, when switching power unit starts, when promptly beginning between input 416 and 417, to apply alternating voltage, because thyristor 413 does not also carry out switch work, so auxiliary winding 443 is not brought out the generation of voltage, thereby voltage control circuit 414 is in non-powered state.Therefore, begin to carry out switch work, provide the low-voltage that is suitable for making voltage control circuit 414 startups from upstream rectifying filter circuit 411 by being arranged on outside resistance 451 (high withstand voltage, high-power) in order to make thyristor 413.
In above-mentioned Switching Power Supply, loss is main generation in thyristor 413.Under normal conditions, with MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-EffectTransistor: mos field effect transistor) as this switch element 413.In general, in bipolar transistor, the switching losses when conducting state switches to cut-off state is bigger, and in MOSFET, because switching speed is very fast, so switching losses is less.But then, in MOSFET, because conducting resistance is bigger, so can not ignore the conducting loss, this point is different with bipolar transistor.Therefore, flow through under the situation of MOSFET, cause bigger loss at big electric current.
In recent years, except one pole type MOSFET, in addition minority carrier is injected into ambipolar IGBT (the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor: igbt) receive much concern in the drift layer in the switch power technology field.In existing switching power unit shown in Figure 36, use under the situation of IGBT as switch element 413, because with bipolar transistor conductivity modulation takes place the samely, so conducting resistance is less, but because utilize minority carrier, so switching speed is slower, consequently switching losses is bigger.
In the Switching Power Supply of above-mentioned RCC mode, be connected under the bigger situation of load on output 426 and 427, the switching frequency of switch element 413 reduces, and the ON time of switch element 413 prolongs.Consequently, big electric current flows through winding 441 one time, thereby the voltage between output 426 and the output 427 is maintained certain constant value.On the contrary, as standby, load less in, the switching frequency of switch element 413 raises, ON time shortens.Consequently, the electric current that flows through a winding 441 reduces, thereby the voltage between output 426 and the output 427 is maintained certain constant value.
Therefore, considering that synthetically switching losses and conducting lose under the situation of these two kinds of losses, under the very big situation of load,, help IGBT so be unfavorable for MOSFET because frequency is low, electric current is big.On the contrary, as standby, load very little in because frequency height, electric current are little, be unfavorable for IGBT so help MOSFET.
Figure 37 is to be illustrated in MOSFET (laterally, drift region have reduction surface field (RESURF) structure) and IGBT (laterally) are respectively applied under the situation in the Switching Power Supply, to load and the result's that compares of the relation between losing figure.As shown in figure 37, in that side of power output little (load is little), because the switching frequency height, so the loss of IGBT is bigger; In that side of power output big (load is big), because switching frequency is low, so the loss of MOSFET is bigger.

As mentioned above, under with the situation of MOSFET as switch element, the conducting loss when load is very big is bigger; With under the situation of IGBT as switch element, when awaiting orders and the switching losses of load when very little bigger.Therefore, in existing thyristor, be difficult to lowering loss to load in the gamut till when very big when very little from load.
In patent documentation 1, there is people's motion to cross and makes vertical IGBT and vertical power MOSFET be present in the interior structure of chip piece of switch element jointly.Yet in described structure, vertically the current capacity of the driving force of the vertical relatively IGBT of power MOSFET is too little.Consequently, actual using just is difficult to driving power MOSFET when load is very little.And, in this structure, because need form step at the Semiconductor substrate back side, so in manufacturing process, have any problem.
In patent documentation 2, there is people's motion to cross the structure as switch element with Schottky junction type IGBT.But in this Schottky junction type IGBT, because the loss specific power MOSFET of load when very little is big, the loss when load is very big is also bigger than existing IGBT, so not necessarily can be regarded as the structure that gets along with aspect the loss attenuating based on the structure of patent documentation 2.
And, because patent documentation 1 and 2 disclosed switch elements all have vertical structure, so for example under with the described situation of switch element with vertical structure, be difficult to voltage control circuit 414 and thyristor 413 are formed in the chip piece as the thyristor 413 of existing switching power unit shown in Figure 36.This also is a problem.
Though purpose do not lie in be made as can utilize an element use selectively MOSFET and IGBT the two, but in non-patent literature 1 and patent documentation 3, the transversal I GBT that has people's motion to cross to have the anode in short circuit structure is as the semiconductor element of the intermediateness effect between performance MOSFET and the IGBT.
Figure 38 is a profile, one of transversal I GBT that the expression patent documentation is 3 disclosed, have anode in short circuit structure example.In structure shown in Figure 38, P
+Type bag district (pocket) 514 and N
+ Type bag district 515 is by drain electrode 513 short circuits.In this anode in short circuit transversal I GBT, when applying forward bias between drain electrode 513 and source electrode 505, and when being applied to positive voltage on the gate electrode 512, electric current begins from N
+ Type bag district 515 is through N
+ Type source region 507 flows to source electrode 505 (MOSFET work).Afterwards, be positioned at P in the N type well region 503
+The current potential of the part of type bag district 514 downsides descends to such an extent that compare P
+When the 0.6V left and right sides was hanged down in type bag district 514, the hole began from P
+ Type bag district 514 is injected in the N type well region 503, becomes the IGBT operating state.Because when signal was ended, electronics was discharged to N from N type well region 503
+In the type bag district 515, so anode in short circuit transversal I GBT shown in Figure 38 has very fast these characteristics of switch work.And this switch element has transversary, thereby, also voltage control circuit 414 and thyristor 413 can be formed in the chip piece for example under the situation as thyristor shown in Figure 36 413 with this switch element.
Yet,, also be difficult to lowering loss to load in the gamut till when very big when very little from load even adopt anode in short circuit transversal I GBT shown in Figure 38 as switch element.Its reason is: because in this switch element, have only the P of establishing
+The length 523 in type bag district 514 is bigger value, and switch element could be transferred to IGBT work from MOSFET work easily, so also carry out MOSFET work at the load area that preferably carries out IGBT work originally, consequently loss increases.If establish P
+The length 523 in type bag district 514 is bigger value, at P
+Just be easy to generate potential difference between type bag district 514 and the N type well region 503, switch element is transferred to IGBT work easily.But, establishing P
+The length 523 in type bag district 514 is that the unit are of element is bigger under the situation of bigger value.Consequently, all very big when MOSFET works and during IGBT work in the conducting resistance of element, increase causes damage.
Therefore, from practical aspect,, also be difficult to lowering loss to load in the gamut till when very big when very little from load even anode in short circuit transversal I GBT that will be as shown in figure 38 is used for switching power unit.

In the surface portion that reduces surface field zone 102, (impurity concentration for example is 1 * 10 to be formed with the P type top semiconductor layer 105 that is electrically connected with base region 106
16/ cm
3, the degree of depth has 1 μ m).
In the surface portion that reduces surface field zone 102, be formed with P in mode with top semiconductor layer 105 isolation
+(impurity concentration for example is 1 * 10 to type contact area 109
19/ cm
3, the degree of depth has 1 μ m) (especially with reference to Figure 33 (a)).At this, contact area 109 forms its impurity concentration and is higher than top semiconductor layer 105 far away, to lower conducting resistance.
In addition, in the surface portion that reduces surface field zone 102, be formed with the N that is electrically connected with collector region 109 in mode with top semiconductor layer 105 isolation
+(impurity concentration for example is 1 * 10 in type drain region 116
20/ cm
3, the degree of depth has 0.5 μ m) (especially with reference to Figure 34).
At this, shown in Figure 33 (b), collector region 109 and drain region 116 are made of a plurality of parts of keeping apart respectively.With from collector region 109 on emitter is held concurrently the vertical direction of the direction of source region 108, be arranged alternately the various piece of collector region 109 and the various piece of drain region 116.
Be formed with on the Semiconductor substrate 101 of above-mentioned each extrinsic region etc., be formed with interlayer film 111 across being formed on the lip-deep electric field dielectric film 104 that reduces surface field zone 102.
On Semiconductor substrate 101, be formed with collector electrode drain electrode 112 and the emitter source electrode 113 of holding concurrently of holding concurrently, this collector electrode drain electrode 112 of holding concurrently has run through interlayer film 111, all is electrically connected with collector region 109 and drain region 116; This emitter source electrode 113 of holding concurrently has run through interlayer film 111, all is electrically connected with contact area 110 (that is, base region 106) and the emitter source region 108 of holding concurrently.
Hold concurrently on the interlayer film 111 of source electrode 113 being formed with hold concurrently drain electrode 112 and emitter of collector electrode, be formed with diaphragm 114.
In the related semiconductor device of comparative example, when hold concurrently at collector electrode drain electrode 112 and emitter hold concurrently apply between the source electrode 113 forward bias (below, also some place is called collector voltage with this forward bias), and when on gate electrode 107, applying positive voltage, electron stream (below, also some place is called collector current with this electron stream) 116 flow to the emitter source electrode 113 of holding concurrently from the drain region, this semiconductor device carries out MOSFET work thus.When flowing to the hold concurrently electron stream of source electrode 113 of emitter is that the size of collector current acquires a certain degree, when the potential difference in the current potential of collector region 109 and the reduction surface field zone 102 between the current potential of the part of encirclement collector region 109 reaches 0.6V approximately, the hole 109 is injected into and reduces surface field zone 102 from the collector region, and this semiconductor device is transferred to IGBT work from MOSFET work thus.Figure 35 represents collector voltage in the related semiconductor device of this comparative example and the relation between the collector current.
Like this, in the related semiconductor device of comparative example, can hour make this semiconductor device carry out MOSFET work when the collector current that flows through element, make this semiconductor device carry out IGBT work after acquiring a certain degree in the size of the collector current that flows through element.In other words, can realize that basis flows through the semiconductor device that how much carries out MOSFET work or IGBT work of the collector current amount of element.
Remark additionally, in the related semiconductor device of comparative example, collector region 109 and drain region 116 are made of a plurality of parts of keeping apart respectively, with from collector region 109 on emitter is held concurrently the vertical direction of the direction of source region 108, be arranged alternately the various piece of collector region 109 and the various piece of drain region 116.Like this, can make the length on vertical direction (that is, collector region 109 and drain region 116 are arranged direction) of collector region 109 shorter.Therefore, can easily make collector voltage when IGBT work is transferred in MOSFET work (, the collector voltage (for example being about 1V) the when potential difference between the current potential of the current potential of collector region and the part that reduces the encirclement collector region in the surface field zone reaches 0.6V approximately because of the decline of voltage) increase.Therefore, can be by adjusting the collector voltage value that switches to IGBT work from MOSFET work, carry out more practical design, for example enlarge the collector voltage scope (the MOSFET work that is designed to have the speed-sensitive switch function proceed to collector voltage for example reach) in other words, of the MOSFET work can have the speed-sensitive switch performance etc. greater than till the magnitude of voltage about 1V.In other words, for example can freely design the distribution of the lower IGBT work of good MOSFET work of switching characteristic and conducting resistance.
Yet, that related as a comparative example in front semiconductor device describes, carry out in the IGBT course of work, following problems being arranged in the semiconductor device of MOSFET work or IGBT work.
Because the same with bipolar transistor, conductivity modulation takes place in IGBT, thus can seek the attenuating of conducting loss, thereby compare with the much the same MOSFET of its chip size and the chip size of IGBT, can make the power loss of IGBT littler.
But, in the related semiconductor device of comparative example, collector region 109 is formed its impurity concentration is higher than top semiconductor layer 105 far away, to lower conducting resistance.Therefore, when switch to from conducting state the blocking state by the time, the extraction that residues in the excess carrier in Semiconductor substrate 101 inside needs the long time.Therefore, such problem can take place, that is: the switching speed of IGBT is slower than the switching speed of MOSFET, and consequently switching losses is very big, can not lower power loss fully.
If will tackle described problem, just expect that employing limits the method for the ways such as technology in useful life as the switching speed of improving IGBT.But under the situation that has adopted this technology, the thing followed is the increase of cost and the sacrifices such as deterioration of characteristic.Therefore, this way is not really good solution.
In addition, in the related semiconductor device of comparative example, formed collector region 109 because be higher than the high impurity concentration of top semiconductor layer 105 far away with its concentration, so be necessary in collector region 109 and reduce its impurity concentration is set between the surface field zone 102 is higher than the N type resilient coating that reduces surface field zone 102, be injected into the hole injection efficiency that reduces surface field zone 102 to lower from the collector region 109.This can cause the increase of operation quantity, also causes simultaneously to be difficult to switch to IGBT this new problem of working from MOSFET work.
The semiconductor device that describes below, the second embodiment of the present invention is related is the device that solves the variety of issue of the related semiconductor device of above-mentioned comparative example under the state of the deterioration of increase that does not cause cost and characteristic etc.
