In fig. 2f, utilize such as the corrosive liquid of H3PO4, erode mask 200, make grid 116a, 116b and float
Put grid 116c and each there is the tip portion of the end face in epitaxial layer 102 protruding upward, it is readily appreciated that each of which
Tip portion namely be originally filled in the polysilicon in corresponding opening 200a respectively.
Such as Fig. 2 G, do not utilize any extra mask, first at the dopant ion of top implanting p-type of epitaxial layer 102 and move back
Fire process forms a body layer 103, and the body layer 103 after activation is centered around the week of active groove 106 relatively upper portion side wall
Enclosing, the bottom of active groove 106 extends downwardly in the epitaxial layer 102 below body layer 103.The most again in body layer
Heavily doped n-type doping ion is implanted at the top of 103, forms the top doped layer 104 that a degree of depth is shallower, and anneals
DIFFUSION TREATMENT, top doped layer 104 is centered around around the relatively upper portion side wall of active groove 106.Without additionally injecting mask
Result be that the p-type dopant ion of body layer 103 is infused in the whole top of epitaxial layer 102 rather than the local at its top
Region, the n-type doping ion implanting of top doped layer 104 is in the whole top of body layer 103 rather than the local at its top
Region, body layer 103, top doped layer 104 are formed at active area 131 and termination environment 130.
Such as Fig. 2 H, the top face at epitaxial layer 102 deposits an insulation oxide layer 207, insulation oxide layer 207
Cover above grid 116a, 116b and floating grid 116c equally.Each grid 116a, 116b, 116c exceed
The sidewall of the tip portion of epitaxial layer 102 end face is also covered by insulation oxide layer 207, and this is in follow-up autoregistration work
In skill particularly important.If there is oxide spacer 206, then insulation oxide layer 207 also cover grid 116a, 116b,
Above oxide spacer 206 above 116c each top end face.Without oxide spacer 206, then insulation oxide
Layer 20 directly overlays on grid 116a, 116b, 116c each top end face.
As shown in figure 2i, carry out the most unidirectional being etched back to, return and carve insulation oxide layer 207, in certain embodiments,
The oxide spacer 206 of the superposition of grid 116a, 116b and floating grid 116c each over top and insulation oxide
The composite bed of layer 207 is also etched back to.In this step, cover vertically side, the edge on the sidewall of each gate top part
It is retained when to the insulation oxide layer 207 arranging/extending, is formed and be attached to grid 116a, 116b and floating grid
Side wall 207a on the sidewall of each tip portion of 116c.In active area 131, at the upper surface of top doped layer 104,
In addition to the region covered by side wall 207a, the horizontally extending/setting covered above other remaining region
Insulation oxide layer 207 is etched away, thus in active area 131, after completing to be etched back to, top doped layer 104
Upper surface other remaining regions in addition to the region covered by side wall 207a are exposed, and this is that vertical unipolarity is returned
The effect that the characteristic of etching is brought, and prepare for follow-up Self-aligned etching.
After deposition insulation oxide layer 207, the oxide spacer 206 originally existed on each grid so that each
The one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of the composite bed of oxide spacer 206 and insulation oxide layer 207 is incorporated, than active area 131 on grid
The single one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of the insulation oxide layer 207 that middle top doped layer 104 upper surface extends horizontally over wants big one
A bit.This difference in thickness creates some effects: horizontally disposed exhausted above top doped layer 104 upper surface
Edge oxide skin(coating) 207 is etched away, only reservation side wall 207a, but each grid 116a, 116b and floating grid 116c
Top end face the most also will not exposed out because the composite bed of oxide spacer 206 and insulation oxide layer 207 is carved
The insulation that in the one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of the part of eating away, with active area 131, top doped layer 104 upper surface is horizontally extending
The one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of oxide skin(coating) 207 is roughly the same, and the end face that etching terminal is epitaxial layer 102 or top doped layer 104
Upper surface, so can remain with one layer of screen oxide 207b on the top end face of each grid.
An aspect of of the present present invention, needs to regulate in termination environment 130 and terminates the distance between groove 106'', and regulation is leaned on most
Distance between one termination groove 106'' and isolated groove 106' of nearly isolated groove 106', and need to regulate active
Distance between active groove 106 in district 130, and need regulation near the active groove 106 of isolated groove 106'
And the distance between isolated groove 106'.The gap between the tip portion of adjacent pair grid 116a is made to have width
Degree W1, has near the gap between tip portion and the tip portion of grid 116b of the grid 116a of grid 116b
Width W2, the gap between the tip portion of adjacent pair floating grid 116c has width W3, near grid
Gap between tip portion and the tip portion of grid 116b of one floating grid 116c of 116b has width W4,
W1 and W2 is all much broader than W3 and W4.
W4 and W3 regulation is to make the gap between adjacent floating grid 116c tip portion almost to narrow result
Filled up by a part for insulation oxide layer 207, make the top ends of a floating grid 116c near grid 116b
The gap between the tip portion of grid 116b is divided the most almost to be filled up by insulation oxide layer 207.It will be apparent that insulation oxygen
The one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of the part that compound layer 207 is filled in during width is the gap of W3 in termination environment 130, or it is filled in width
For the one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of the part in the gap of W4, than top doped layer 104 upper surface in active area 131 in the horizontal direction
The insulation oxide layer 207(extended is positioned in the gap that width is W1, W2) one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 much greater, so absolutely
Edge oxide skin(coating) 207 be etched back to terminate after, active area 131 width be W1, W2 gap in prolong in the horizontal direction
The insulation oxide layer 207 stretched is etched away, but in termination environment 130 width be W3, W4 gap in still remain with
A part for insulation oxide layer 207, is etched back the most completely.As shown in figure 2i, the top doped layer of termination environment 130
The upper surface of 104 will not exposed out.This structure of Fig. 2 I, it is believed that be: the filling of insulation oxide layer 207 class
The thickness that thing is filled in the gap that breadth depth ratio is different also can difference.Or think in the gap that width is W3, W4, often
Two the side wall 207a formed on the inwall of the both sides in individual gap inwardly toward each other, the bottom of one of which and another one
Bottom directly intersect and merge, and cause the thickness increase of the insulation oxide layer 207 filled in this gap, W3, W4
Value the least, the one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of gap inner stuffing is the biggest.
Such as Fig. 2 J, utilize screen oxide 207b and side wall 207a as the mask of etching, and without extra mask,
Carry out the first step etching technics of through hole 107 in a self-aligned manner.In active area 131, adjacent active groove 106
Between epitaxial layer 102 in be etched and define multiple through hole 107, near active groove 106 He of isolated groove 106'
In epitaxial layer 102 between isolated groove 106', also etching defines through hole 107, through hole 107 mainly exposed out
Epitaxial layer 102 upper surface at formed, now through hole 107 runs through top doped layer 104 and extends downward body layer 103
In, and there is first degree of depth D1.Note, without preparing oxide spacer 206, exhausted above each gate top
The one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of edge oxide skin(coating) 207, with active area 131 epitaxial layers 102 top face along horizontal direction extend exhausted
The one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of edge oxide skin(coating) 207 is more or less the same, then after the eat-back of insulation oxide layer 207, it is impossible to form shielding
Oxide layer 207b, the top end face of the tip portion of grid 116a, 116b and floating grid 116c can exposed out, thus
In the preparation process of through hole 107, top ends branch is directly etched away a part or etches away completely, but the most at this moment
Side wall 207a is complete preparation, does not interferes with the side wall 207a autoregistration mask function as etching, is also to allow.
In further embodiments, the tip portion that can set each grid protrusion has enough height (as long as mask 200 is sufficient
Enough thickness), then grid, that the tip portion of floating grid loses a part in the step preparing through hole 107 is the most not severe,
Because remaining part remains able in electrical contact with follow-up anode metal layer 105, oxide spacer 206 is not
It is necessary.
