Manufacturing approach with semiconductor device of super-junction structure
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of manufacturing approach of semiconductor device, especially a kind of manufacturing approach with semiconductor device of super-junction structure.
Background technology
In mesohigh power semiconductor field, super-junction structure (Super Junction) contrasts conventional power MOSFET device by extensive employing, and super-junction structure can obtain the excellent more device withstand voltage and the tradeoff of conducting resistance.Super-junction structure is formed in the drift region of device, and this drift region comprises N conductivity type columns (N post) and P conductivity type columns (P post), and N post and P post are alternately in abutting connection with a plurality of P-N posts of forming being set to forming super-junction structure.The N post has the N conductive type impurity, and the P post has the P conductive type impurity, and the impurity level of the impurity level of N post and P post is consistent.When the MOSFET device with super-junction structure ends; N post and P post in the super-junction structure are exhausted respectively; Depletion layer extends from the P-N junction interface of each N post and P intercolumniation; Because the impurity level in the N post equates with impurity level in the P post, so depletion layer extends and exhausts N post and P post fully, thus the support device withstand voltage.
If think further to reduce the conducting resistance of device; The resistivity that reduces the semiconductor substrate drift region is one of important channel; And want to guarantee the device withstand voltage ability simultaneously and be suitable for the big process window of producing, then need dwindle the cellular size, dwindle the width that the cellular size just need be dwindled each super-junction structure in the active area; The width of each super-junction structure is again the width sum of the width and the N post of P post; In the middle of P post and N post, have only have one group of conductivity type columns of identical conduction type with device drift region could be as the path of current flowing, therefore; If can effectively dwindle the width that has that group conductivity type columns of films of opposite conductivity with the drift region, just can guarantee does not influence break-over of device resistance under to the prerequisite of width dwindling total P-N post.
Yet in actual manufacturing process, the width of P post receives the restriction of manufacturing process to a great extent.Use maximum " repeatedly extension, photoetching, injection technology " to be example with present, the P post that forms a width and be 6um, the degree of depth and be 36um only needs 6 extensions, photoetching, injections to get final product; If forming a width is 3um, the degree of depth is that the extension number of times that the P post of 36um then needs will be increased to more than 10 times, and manufacturing cost also can increase greatly.
In U.S. Pat 7601597, mention first etching deep trench; Can effectively avoid the use of repeatedly extension, photoetching, injection though use P type extension to fill the method that forms P post in the super-junction structure then; But in actual process, in the time of forming very narrow P post, because the depth-to-width ratio of required groove is very high; Therefore high to the Capability Requirement of etching and extension fill process, actual cost still can increase greatly.
Chinese patent 200680013510.6 mentioned a kind of modes of using the inclination angle to inject realize the method for super-junction structure P post; Though might produce narrow P post; But use the filling insulating material deep trench owing to inject the back; The part of fill insulant can not can not make full use of chip area as the current flowing path, therefore also is unfavorable for reducing the conducting resistance of device.
