Technical field
The invention belongs to power semiconductor device technology field, relate to insulated gate bipolar transistor (InsulatedGateBipolarTransistor, IGBT), be specifically related to IGBT terminal structure.
Background technology
IGBT is the compound device of a kind of voltage-controlled MOS/BJT.From structure, the structure of IGBT is very similar to VDMOS, just by the N of VDMOS
+substrate is adjusted to P
+substrate, but the conductivity modulation effect introduced overcomes VDMOS conducting resistance inherently and the contradiction of puncture voltage, thus makes IGBT have the major advantage of bipolar power transistor and power MOSFET: input impedance is high, conduction voltage drop is low, current capacity is large, switching speed is fast simultaneously.Just because of IGBT uniqueness, the performance advantage do not replaced makes it just be widely used at numerous areas from releasing practical product, such as: new energy technology, with motor-car, the high ferro fields such as advanced transport facility, hybrid vehicle, office automation and household electrical appliance that are representative.
During IGBT forward conduction, positive grid voltage makes raceway groove open, emitter electronics flows to drift region through raceway groove, and due to collector electrode forward bias and electroneutral requirement, drift region is injected and and the electronics formation conductance modulation of drift region from collector electrode in a large amount of hole.IGBT is made to have low forward conduction voltage drop, high on state current, low-loss advantage just because of conductivity modulation effect during IGBT forward conduction.But in IGBT turn off process, when grid voltage is reduced to after lower than threshold voltage, channel cutoff, the vanishing of emitter electronic current.In the application circuit of the inductive load of extensive use, because inductive current can not suddenly change, that is: the electric current flowing through IGBT can not suddenly change.Therefore, the hole current that the hole that the electric current of all IGBT of flowing through must inject drift region by collector electrode is formed provides.Now, for the terminal area (as shown in Figure 1) of IGBT device, a large amount of holes in drift region can not directly be taken away from the field limiting ring of terminal floating, but concentrate at the equipotential ring place of terminal, thus form the local accumulation effect (as shown in Figure 2) of hole current at the equipotential ring place of terminal, cause the high-voltage great-current of local, device temperature is sharply raised, cause the dynamic avalanche of device to puncture and thermal breakdown, device is burnt, cause the shutoff of device to be lost efficacy.
Summary of the invention
In order to the electric current reducing IGBT device terminal equipotential ring place gathers effect, promote the reliability of IGBT device, the invention provides a kind of IGBT terminal structure with hole combination layer.This IGBT terminal structure introduces hole combination layer in terminal equipotential ring, effectively can reduce the hole current density at terminal equipotential ring place, weaken corresponding current convergence phenomenon, suppress the dynamic avalanche caused due to current convergence to puncture and thermal breakdown, improve the reliability of IGBT device.The introducing of hole combination layer is simultaneously only inner in the equipotential ring of device terminal, and during forward conduction, the conductivity modulation effect of drift region is unaffected, and therefore forward conduction voltage drop can not change.The present invention provides the preparation method of the IGBT terminal structure with hole combination layer simultaneously.

Operation principle of the present invention:
For traditional IGBT terminal structure (as shown in Figure 1), when IGBT turns off, a large amount of holes in drift region can not directly be taken away from the field limiting ring of terminal floating, but concentrate at the equipotential ring place of terminal, thus form the local accumulation effect (as shown in Figure 2) of hole current at the equipotential ring place of terminal, cause the high-voltage great-current of local, device temperature is sharply raised, cause the dynamic avalanche of device to puncture and thermal breakdown, device is burnt, cause the shutoff of device to be lost efficacy.The IGBT terminal structure with hole combination layer provided by the invention, based on traditional IGBT terminal structure, after formation equipotential ring and field limiting ring, under the condition that silicon wafer horizontal is placed, inject carbon, oxygen (as shown in Figure 4) respectively to equipotential ring inner ion, then carry out process annealing.As carbon, the oxygen of non-conductive impurity, be coupled between silicon crystal lattice, form hole combination layer, be the part of numbering 21 indication in Fig. 3.In IGBT turn off process, a large amount of holes stored in drift region, owing to can not directly extract from the field limiting ring of floating, will be concentrated at equipotential ring place, and from the P of equipotential ring
+contact zone is drawn, thus formation hole current gathers.A large amount of holes that equipotential ring place gathers are extracted and in the process of hole combination layer, part hole is disappeared by compound, thus the hole current density effectively reduced herein, weaken corresponding current convergence phenomenon, suppress the dynamic avalanche caused due to current convergence to puncture and thermal breakdown, improve the reliability of IGBT device.
