[summary of the invention]
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention provides the method for a kind of VDMOS of preventing pipe second breakdown, can effectively avoid the local overheating of VDMOS pipe, no longer occurs serious secondary-breakdown phenomenon when making the VDMOS pipe test VDS (drain-source voltage) under big electric current.
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention prevents the method for VDMOS pipe second breakdown, comprises the steps:
(1) in VDMOS pipe manufacturer process, adopt mask lithography glue to carry out dry etching at silicon chip surface;
(2) feed gas under vacuum condition, this gas forms the plasma that mask lithography glue is had the bombardment ability under action of radio, removes the mask lithography glue in source region with this plasma.
The gas of described step (2) comprises oxygen, and this oxygen flow is 1~10L/min, and preferred, described oxygen flow is 2.5L/min.
The vacuum degree of described step (2) is 0.5~10Torr, and preferred, described vacuum degree is 2Torr.
The power of the radio frequency of described step (2) is 500~1000W, and preferred, the power of described radio frequency is 1000W.
The present invention prevents the method for VDMOS pipe second breakdown, owing to after dry etch process, adopt plasma process to remove photoresist, the mask lithography glue that sex change the dry etching rear surface can have been taken place is removed clean, make on the knot face of vdmos transistor and do not have the defective that causes because of photoresist is residual, thereby make VDMOS pipe effectively avoid local overheating, and then under big electric current, no longer occur secondary-breakdown phenomenon during test VDS.
[embodiment]
The present invention is further detailed explanation below in conjunction with embodiment.
VDMOS pipe second breakdown problem has had a strong impact on effective application of VDMOS pipe, and causes that the reason of VDMOS pipe second breakdown is very complicated, and factors such as the material in the VDMOS pipe manufacturer process, technology all may cause the second breakdown of VDMOS pipe.Wherein, having the transistor local overheating that defective causes on the vdmos transistor knot face is the main cause that causes second breakdown.
The present invention finds that mask lithography glue is in the dry etching process, owing to surface modification takes place in the effect that is subjected to radio frequency and chemical corrosion, the superficial layer of sex change is just as the hard crust of one deck, adding the hydrogen peroxide wet method technology of removing photoresist with traditional sulfuric acid is difficult to remove the mask lithography glue of this sex change clean, cause the VDMOS source region to have photoetching glue residue, this residue makes on the knot face of vdmos transistor has defective, and then influence current characteristics, make CURRENT DISTRIBUTION inhomogeneous, cause VDMOS pipe local heating, second breakdown occurs when making the VDMOS pipe under big current conditions, test VDS, cause product rejection.Therefore, the present invention is in VDMOS pipe manufacturer process, and employing can be removed clean removing of photoresist by plasma technology with mask lithography glue.
The present invention prevents the method for VDMOS pipe second breakdown, comprises the steps:
(1) in VDMOS pipe manufacturer process, adopt mask lithography glue to carry out dry etching at silicon chip surface;
(2) feed gas under vacuum condition, this gas forms the plasma that mask lithography glue is had the bombardment ability under action of radio, removes mask lithography glue with this plasma.
The removing of photoresist by plasma technology of described step (2) is, in vacuum degree is under the condition of 0.5~10Torr, feed process gas oxygen, the flow of this aerating oxygen is 1~10L/min, described oxygen molecule is to resolve into oxygen atom under the action of radio of 500~1000W at power, and further ionization forms the oxonium ion of high oxidative capacity, this oxygen atom and oxonium ion have the bombardment ability under action of radio, and can react with carbon (C) and the hydrogen (H) in the photoresist, generate volatile carbon monoxide, main product such as carbon dioxide and water, these products are taken away by vacuum system.Because the basis of photoresist is hydrocarbon polymer, therefore the mask lithography glue removal that the double action of the ion bombardment by above-mentioned high energy and strong chemical reaction, removing of photoresist by plasma step of the present invention can the dry etching rear surface take place sex change totally.
In the removing of photoresist by plasma technology of step of the present invention (2), vacuum degree is 0.5~10Torr, because vacuum degree surpasses 10Torr, can make the gas overrich, the homogeneity that influence is removed photoresist, and then make the difficult quality control of removing photoresist, if vacuum degree is less than 0.5Torr, will make plasma density low excessively, and vaccum-pumping equipment also is difficult to vacuum degree is extracted into less than 0.5Torr, is preferably 2Torr through the described vacuum degree of experiment confirm repeatedly.Oxygen flow in the described step (2) is 1~10L/min, if oxygen flow is greater than 10L/min, the speed of removing photoresist is slowed down, and can increase production cost, if oxygen flow is less than 1L/min, because plasma density is too low, the speed of removing photoresist also can slow down, and is preferably 2.5L/min through the described oxygen flow of experiment confirm.The power of radio frequency is 500~1000W in the described step (2), if the power of radio frequency is lower than 500W, can influence the speed of removing photoresist, and present equipment does not also reach and produces the radio frequency that surpasses 1000W, is preferably 1000W through the power of the described radio frequency of experiment confirm.
