Optimize hyperconjugation VDMOS and the preparation method of body diode reverse recovery characteristics
Technical field
The invention belongs to semiconductor device and manufacture technics field, be specifically related to a kind of hyperconjugation VDMOS and the preparation method that optimize body diode reverse recovery characteristics.
Background technology
In high-voltage switch gear application, need to adopt and there is the body diode of superperformance and the strong VDMOS of durability, but the conducting resistance that the VDMOS device of routine is higher adds the quiescent dissipation of switching circuit, be introduced into market according to the device designed by superjunction theory (SuperJunction) charge balance concept at the end of the nineties, it has the R more much lower than conventional VDMOS
dS(on) be used widely.Due to its R
dSand BV (on)
1.3proportional, and the R of commonplace components
dS(on) be and BV
2.5proportional, its R
dS(on) more much lower than common MOSFET, therefore the application of this kind of superjunction devices when high voltage is very attractive.
Diode is called Reverse recovery by on-state to the switching process of reverse blocking state, as shown in Figure 1, the intrinsic diode that the P post of hyperconjugation VDMOS and N epitaxial loayer are formed is called body diode, in switch application especially bridge circuit, the reverse drain current needing body diode to provide is circuit afterflow, and oppositely turn off after body diode conducting, high voltage change ratio (dv/dt) will be produced, this may cause parasitic NPN transistor to open, and thus the reliability of the reversely restoring process of body diode is extremely crucial in this application.
Hyperconjugation VDMOS device obtains charge balance by numerous PN column structure, and this structure brings two consequences to the body diode of hyperconjugation VDMOS device simultaneously, and one is that the area of PN junction is large many, Irrm and Qrr rising when causing larger injections; Two is exhaust due to PN post knot the increase bringing dv/dt fast, causes parasitic NPN transistor open or recover very soon.Thus, a shortcoming of common hyperconjugation VDMOS is exactly that the reverse recovery characteristic of its body diode is poor.Hyperconjugation VDMOS device has larger reverse recovery current, and is easy to when some Reverse recovery lose efficacy.In addition, application circuit requires that body diode also should be able to bear higher di/dt and dv/dt.Even if apply to relax the di/dt risen, the body diode of common hyperconjugation VDMOS device also can lose efficacy sometimes.If the reverse recovery characteristic of body diode is poor, so will increase the turn-on consumption of MOSFET, therefore, the MOSFET with the body diode that characteristic is good, durability is strong be needed for these application.
In hyperconjugation VDMOS device, due to the deviation of manufacturing process, the complete equipilibrium of N post and P post electric charge can not realize completely.The impact that the people such as PraveenM.Shenoy bring to device property for the charge unbalance of N post and P post has carried out careful discussion in document " Analysisoftheeffectofchargeimbalanceonthestaticanddynami ccharacteristicsofthesuperjunctionMOSFET ", as shown in Figure 1, the electric charge complete equipilibrium (Q of three kinds of situation N posts and P post is analyzed altogether

p<Q
nwhen, peak value electric field is at the P trap top of knot, and most of electric current is at N
+flow through below source region.Big current below source electrode can cause the unlatching of parasitic NPN transistor, and the electric current under highfield and source electrode can cause local overheating in this area, along with the rising of temperature, and R
bincrease and V

n, peak value electric field is in the bottom of PN post knot, and whole electric current flows directly into the metal electrode contact zone, source in Pbody district.At N
+do not have electric current to flow through below source region, focus is in far place, distance sources polar region, P column bottom.Therefore this design makes parasitic bipolar transistor least influenced, and durability when Reverse recovery is also much better, but, excessive (charge number of P post is more than the charge number 10% of N post) Q of this design
pconduction resistance increase and puncture voltage are declined significantly.
