On the one hand, the conductivity during ON state is an important electrical quantity of insulated gate bipolar transistor; On the other hand, (Breakdown Voltage BV) is another important electrical quantity of insulated gate bipolar transistor to puncture voltage.
Specifically, being defined as of puncture voltage: add positive voltage in the substrate bottom by 0 paramount scanning, (electric current generally reaches 1E to the magnitude of voltage when current multiplication
-5A/cm
2); The puncture voltage that promptly is called this device, wherein when substrate adds positive voltage, first PN junction PN1 forward conduction bottom; And second PN junction PN2 from the bottom to top oppositely exhausts, and the puncture voltage of IGBT is the reverse breakdown voltage of this second PN junction PN2 in fact.
Hope to propose a kind of insulated gate bipolar transistor that the puncture voltage BV characteristic of assurance OFF state can not be degenerated when improving the ON state conductivity.
Summary of the invention

Embodiment
In order to make content of the present invention clear more and understandable, content of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiment and accompanying drawing.
Fig. 2 schematically shows the structure according to the insulated gate bipolar transistor of the embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 2, comprise collector electrode C, drift region DR, emitter E and grid equally according to the insulated gate bipolar transistor of the embodiment of the invention.Those skilled in the art can be provided with the mutual alignment arrangement relation of collector electrode C, drift region DR, emitter E and grid in any suitable manner.
But; Different with prior art shown in Figure 1 is; The insulated gate bipolar transistor structure of this new silica bypass that the embodiment of the invention provides is on the basis of traditional insulated gate bipolar transistor; In emitter E, arranged trench fill zone TR, filled oxide (for example silica), polysilicon and metal from the bottom successively to the top among the TR of this trench fill zone, said metal has formed trench electrode TE; And trench electrode TE is connected with the emitter E of insulated gate bipolar transistor.
In a concrete example, collector electrode C is P type collector electrode C (for example boron doping); Drift region DR is N type drift region DR; Emitter E is a P type collection emitter E.
Can form trench fill zone TR through following method:
At first, form a groove at the emitter E place;
Then, fill oxide in groove, for example silica;
After this, deposit polysilicon in groove;
At last, depositing metal and makes trench electrode TE be connected with the emitter E of insulated gate bipolar transistor forming trench electrode TE in groove; Because metallic aluminium good conductivity and low price, so metal electrode preferably adopts metallic aluminium.
After this, in test,, and can find, guarantee when said structure can be realized improving the ON state conductivity that the puncture voltage BV characteristic of OFF state can not degenerated through test with the emitter E common ground (0V) of trench electrode TE and insulated gate bipolar transistor.
Specifically; As trench electrode ground connection (0V), when collector electrode bottom connect positive voltage, DR can transoid go out the hole at the interface with vertical bypass silica (trench fill zone) in the drift region of N type; Therefore compare with traditional structure, can improve the hole concentration at emitter junction place; Therefore when ON state (grid of insulated gate bipolar transistor is opened the back) when on collector electrode, adding malleation scanning, has more hole and participates in conduction, thus the conductivity when having improved the insulated gate bipolar transistor ON state.
