Description

Deep trench power MOS device and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor devices and manufacturing thereof, relates to a deep trench power MOS device and a manufacturing method thereof, and particularly relates to a deep trench power MOS device with high cell density and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
At present, in the conventional deep trench power MOS device process preparation, in order to make the source region 1 ″ and the body region 2 ″ have the same potential, the silicon layer needs to be etched to penetrate through the source region 1 ″ and reach the body region 2 ″ when the contact hole 3 ″ is prepared, as shown in fig. 1.
Under the condition of low application frequency, the power consumption is mainly determined by conduction loss, and the conduction loss is mainly influenced by the size of the characteristic conduction resistance, wherein the smaller the characteristic conduction resistance is, the smaller the conduction loss is. The main method for reducing the characteristic on-resistance is to increase the cell density, reduce the distance (pitch) between adjacent cells, and increase the total effective width of a unit area, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the characteristic on-resistance. As shown in figure 1, in the current domestic power MOS mass production process, the minimum cell groove line width is about 0.25 μm, the groove line width d1 after the sacrificial oxide layer and the insulating gate oxide layer are finally etched and prepared is about 0.4 μm, the minimum cell contact hole line width d2 is about 0.25 μm, the alignment precision of a 248nm DUV photoetching machine is about 60nm, and in order to ensure an enough process window, the distance d3 from the cell contact hole to the final finished insulating gate oxide layer cell groove 4 '' is at least 0.09 μm. Thus, in the prior art, the minimum achievable cell pitch is about 0.83 μm, and the minimum cell pitch for mass production is generally set to about 1.0 μm in the domestic and foreign industries.
As shown in fig. 2, the ultra-high cell density deep trench power MOS device does not require a contact hole process in a cell region, but directly makes ohmic contact with a source region 7 ' and a P well layer (body region) 4 ' by depositing source metal 5 ', and the source metal 5 ' is insulated and isolated from conductive polysilicon 6 ' in a cell trench 11 ' by an insulating dielectric layer 9 '. The patent can improve the cell density and reduce the characteristic on-resistance.
However, the patent has the following disadvantages:
1. obviously, the cell density described in this patent is not "limited only by the minimum line width and spacing of the cell trenches 11', nor by the contact hole line width and hole-to-cell trench alignment accuracy" as it is described. In fact, the cell density of this patent is also limited by the spacing d4 between the source electrodes 7 ' (i.e., N + regions in fig. 2) of the adjacent cells, i.e., the width of the P-well layer (body region) 4 ' where it contacts the source metal 5 ' (which can be as small as 0.16 μm for a 248nm DUV lithography machine), and further, the cell density of this patent is also limited by the alignment accuracy of the source electrodes 7 ' to the cell trenches 11 '. Thus, the cell density of this patent cannot be "at least 2G/inch2, which is an improvement of about 220%" as described, but the minimum achievable cell pitch (pitch) in this patent is about 0.76 μm;
2. when the source 7 'of the unit cell is implanted, a photoresist barrier needs to be formed at the window of the body region 4', the photoresist width is small (generally, for a 248nm DUV photoetching machine, the photoresist width can be as small as 0.16 μm at the minimum), so that the photoresist (peeling) is easily caused, and the product yield is influenced;
3. no solution is given in the patent regarding the electrical contact of the gate in deep trench power MOS devices;
4. the patent makes use of the direct contact of the P-well layer (body region) 4 ' with the source metal 5 ' to make the body region and the source region equipotential, so the concentration of the contact region can only be kept consistent with that of the P-well layer (body region) 4 ', and the doping concentration of the contact region cannot be further adjusted independently to reduce the contact resistance without changing the body region concentration.

It should be further noted that in the prior art patent (application No. 201110405658.7) that does not require a contact hole process, the body region itself is directly used to make the source region and the body region equipotential, while the present invention uses the body contact region 212 that is formed in an inversion manner and has the same type as the body region 213 to make the source region 211 and the body region 213 equipotential, the concentration of the body contact region 212 and the concentration of the body region 213 may not be the same, so that the concentration of the body contact region 212 may be adjusted as needed without changing the concentration of the body region 213.
In this embodiment, the specific steps of forming the first insulating dielectric layer 91 in the step 7) include: as shown in fig. 14 and 15, depositing an insulating medium layer 9 on the gate 81 and the gate medium layer 7, and etching the insulating medium layer 9, so that the insulating medium layer 9 remains on the surfaces of the cell trench 51, the gate electrical contact region trench 52, and the terminal protection region trench 53 to form the first insulating medium layer 91, and the upper surface of the first insulating medium layer 91 and the upper surface of the substrate are located on the same plane, so as to ensure that the first insulating medium layer 91 realizes the insulating isolation between the gate 81 and the metal when the subsequent metal is electrically connected, wherein the thickness of the first insulating medium layer 91 is preferably 10 to 200 angstroms; at this time, the gate dielectric layer 7 on the upper surface of the substrate is also etched away, so that the source region 211, the body contact region 212, and the first insulating dielectric layer 91 in the cell region I are exposed on the upper surface of the substrate, the body contact region 212 and the first insulating dielectric layer 91 in the terminal protection region III are exposed on the upper surface of the substrate, and the first insulating dielectric layer 91 and the P-type region in the gate electrical contact region II are exposed on the upper surface of the substrate, wherein the insulating dielectric layer 9 (the first insulating dielectric layer 91) is made of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or silicon nitride, and in this embodiment, the insulating dielectric layer 9 is made of silicon oxide. Step 8) is then performed.
In step 8), as shown in fig. 16 and 17, depositing an insulating dielectric layer 9 on the upper surface of the structure obtained after the step 7), and then performing photolithography and dry etching on the insulating dielectric layer 9 to form a second insulating dielectric layer 92 located in the gate electrical contact region II and a third insulating dielectric layer 93 located in the terminal protection region III, wherein a contact hole exposing the upper surface of the gate 81 is formed in the second insulating dielectric layer 92, and a contact hole exposing the upper surface of the body contact region 212 is formed in the third insulating dielectric layer 93, wherein the insulating dielectric layer 9 located in the cell region I is etched until the upper surface of the substrate is exposed but the first insulating dielectric layer 91 located in the cell trench 51 is remained, and at this time, the source region 211, the body contact region 212, and the first insulating dielectric layer 91 in the cell region I are exposed on the upper surface of the substrate; the dry etching at least includes plasma etching or reactive ion etching, and in the first embodiment, the insulating dielectric layer 9 is etched by using plasma etching.
It should be noted that, when the insulating dielectric layer 9 in the step 8) is etched, in the gate electrical contact area II, the first insulating dielectric layer 91 on the gate 81 is also etched and a contact hole is formed, where the contact hole formed in the first insulating dielectric layer 91 corresponds to the contact hole formed in the second insulating dielectric layer 92, and at this time, the gate 81 in the gate electrical contact area II is exposed through the contact holes of the first insulating dielectric layer 91 and the second insulating dielectric layer 92.
It should be further noted that, since the insulating dielectric layer 9 on the surface of the cell region I in step 8) is etched, the cell region I is in full contact during the subsequent metal electrical connection, and is not in electrical contact through the contact hole, so that the cell region I has no contact hole and is a contact hole empty area, and the gate electrical contact region II has a contact hole to achieve the subsequent metal electrical connection, so that the gate electrical contact region II is a contact hole dense area (i.e. a pattern dense area) relative to the cell region I In the meantime, the first insulating medium layer 91 on the gate electrode in the empty area (cell area) of the contact hole is reserved, so that the source contact metal layer and the gate electrode in the cell area can be still kept insulated while the metal layer is electrically contacted in the gate electrode electrical contact area. Step 9) is then performed.
In step 9), as shown in fig. 18, depositing metal on the surface of the structure obtained after step 8), and then performing photolithography and etching processes to form a source contact metal layer 121 located in the cell region I, a gate contact metal layer 122 located in the gate electrical contact region II, and a body contact metal layer 123 located in the terminal protection region III, where the source contact metal layer 121 is in ohmic contact with the source region 211 and the body contact region 212 directly, the source contact metal layer 121 is insulated and isolated from the gate 81 of the cell trench 51 by a first insulating dielectric layer 91, the gate contact metal layer 122 is in ohmic contact with the corresponding gate 81 by a contact hole located in the gate electrical contact region II, and the body contact metal layer 123 is in ohmic contact with the corresponding body contact region 212 by a contact hole located in the terminal protection region III. The material of the source contact metal layer 121, the gate contact metal layer 122 and the body contact metal layer 123 is titanium, aluminum copper, aluminum silicon copper or copper, and in the first embodiment, aluminum copper is preferred.
It should be noted that, in the prior art patent (application No. 201110405658.7) that does not require a contact hole process, the body region itself is directly utilized to make the source region and the body region equipotential, while the body contact region 212 that is prepared in an inversion manner and has the same type as the body region 213 is utilized to make the source region 211 and the body region 213 equipotential, so the concentration of the body contact region 212 of the present invention may not be consistent with the concentration of the body region 213 located thereunder, and the concentration of the body contact region 212 may be adjusted as needed, thereby further increasing the doping concentration of the body contact region 212 without changing the concentration of the body region 213, and further reducing the contact resistance between the body contact region 212 and the source body contact metal layer 122, and between the body contact region 212 and the body contact metal layer 123.
It should be noted that, in the conventional process, the source metal contact is realized by a contact hole process, and a metal connection process on contact hole metal filling and an interlayer dielectric is required, but in the manufacturing method of the source contact metal layer 121 in the cell region I, a process without a contact hole is adopted, and a substrate does not need to be deeply etched to penetrate a source region and reach a body region, so that metal is directly deposited after the insulating medium layer 9 in the cell region I is removed by etching, and a whole piece of source contact metal layer 121 is formed, so that the source contact metal layer 121 is in direct contact with the source region 211 and the body contact region 212 when ohmic contact is carried out, the process steps are greatly simplified, the manufacturing process and the device structure of the invention are simpler, and the process difficulty is reduced.
It should be further noted that, in the manufacturing method of the cell region I, a process without a contact hole is adopted, and a substrate is not required to be deeply etched to penetrate through the source region and reach the body region, so that when the insulating dielectric layer 9 is etched in the step 8), the insulating dielectric layer 9 located in the cell region I is completely etched, and only the upper surface of the substrate is exposed, but the first insulating dielectric layer 91 located in the cell trench 51 is remained, therefore, for the etching of the contact hole (window) located in the gate electrical contact region II of the contact hole, only the insulating dielectric layer 9 and the first insulating dielectric layer 91 located thereunder form a contact hole (window) to the upper surface of the gate 81 located under the first insulating dielectric layer 91, that is, both the second insulating dielectric layer 92 and the first insulating dielectric layer 91 of the gate electrical contact region II are formed with a contact hole exposing the upper surface of the gate 81, therefore, the invention not only defines that the grid electrical contact method is a big trench with contact pick-up (big trench with contact pick-up) method, but also improves the process for preparing the contact hole in the conventional grid electrical contact method, and avoids the situation that the insulating medium layer is etched and the grid below the insulating medium layer is deeply etched during electrical contact in the conventional process, thereby further reducing the process difficulty.
It should be further noted that, in the first embodiment, the line width of the deep trench formed with the gate dielectric layer 7 and the gate 81 is about 0.4 μm; for a 248nm DUV lithography machine, the minimum width of the photoresist window during the body contact region 212 implant can be as small as 0.16 μm, so the minimum line width of the body contact region is 0.16 μm; due to the limitation of the alignment accuracy of the contact hole and the deep trench, the width of the source region 211 contacting the cell trench 51 is at least 0.09 μm, so that the minimum achievable cell pitch (pitch) is about 0.76 μm in the first embodiment.
In the cellular region, a body contact region which is prepared in an inversion mode and has the same shape as a body region is utilized to enable a source region and the body region to realize equipotential; when the minimum cell spacing can reach 0.76 mu m and the device is high in cell density, the part of the injection process adopts maskless Implantation (Blank Implantation), the process is simplified, and the process difficulty is reduced, and when the body contact region is injected, the minimum photoresist line width of 0.16 mu m is ensured, and the problem of reverse photoresist caused by the over-small photoresist width in the small line width photoetching process is avoided; in addition, the concentration of the body contact region and the concentration of the body region can be inconsistent, so that the concentration of the body contact region can be adjusted as required, and the doping concentration of the body contact region is further increased while the concentration of the body region is not changed, so that the contact resistance between the body contact region and the source body contact metal layer and between the body contact region and the body contact metal layer is reduced; in addition, the invention makes clear that the grid electrical contact method is a big trench with contact pick-up method, skillfully utilizes the characteristic that the pattern dense area has stronger ion bombardment (ion bombedment) capability than the open area in the dry etching process, and ensures that the source contact metal layer and the grid in the cellular area can still keep insulation while the grid electrical contact area realizes the electrical contact of the metal layer; furthermore, in the grid electrical contact method, only the insulating medium layer is windowed to the upper surface of the grid positioned below the insulating medium layer, so that the process for preparing the contact hole in the conventional grid electrical contact method is improved, the situation that the insulating medium layer is etched and the grid positioned below the insulating medium layer is deeply etched during electrical contact in the conventional process is avoided, and the process difficulty is further reduced.
