As shown in Figure 2, described substrate 10 back sides are carried out after attenuate, at described substrate 10 back sides, form collector layer 40, wherein, described collector layer 40 is germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer.In embodiments of the present invention, the formation technique of described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer can adopt epitaxy technique, also can adopt the techniques such as deposit, in one embodiment of the invention, the thickness of described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer is greater than 0.01 μ m, is preferably 0.2 μ m-5 μ m, comprises endpoint value, the present invention does not limit this, is determined on a case-by-case basis.
As shown in Figure 3, in one embodiment of the invention, described collector layer 40 is germanium layer, because the lattice mismatch between silicon and germanium is larger, in described substrate 10 and the interface of described germanium layer, form the region that defect concentration is higher, and this defect area is arranged in the energy gap of germanium layer, thereby can be from described germanium layer trapped electron, in described germanium layer, form the doping of P type, and described substrate 10 region higher with the defect concentration of the interface formation of described germanium layer, after trapped electron, also can form P type doped region.
In described substrate 10 and the interface of collector layer 40, there is the region that defect concentration is higher.Wherein, described defect mainly comprises line dislocation.But deviate from the direction of described substrate 10 along described collector layer 40, the density of the line dislocation in described germanium layer reduces gradually, corresponding defect concentration also decreases.Therefore, at described substrate 10 back sides, form after germanium layer, the first higher territory, p type island region 401 of defect concentration that can be positioned at described substrate 10 back sides at described substrate 10 back side self-assembling formations, it is defective p Ge region, the second p type island region territory 402 lower with the defect concentration that is positioned at 401 surfaces, described the first territory, p type island region, it is p Ge region, two regions, be that the collector layer 40 that provides in the embodiment of the present invention is by the first higher territory, p type island region 401 of defect concentration, it is defect ive p Ge region, the second p type island region territory 402 lower with defect concentration, it is p Ge region, two parts form.
As shown in Figure 4, in another embodiment of the present invention, described collector layer 40 is germanium-silicon layer, and the silicon in described germanium-silicon layer and germanium can mix according to arbitrary proportion, and preferred, in described germanium-silicon layer, the atomic percent of germanium is preferably more than or equals 10%.In like manner, because the lattice mismatch between silicon and SiGe is also larger, also can form the region that defect concentration is higher in described substrate 10 and the interface of described germanium-silicon layer, and the region that described defect concentration is higher, meeting trapped electron from described germanium-silicon layer, thus the doping of P type in described germanium-silicon layer, formed, and described substrate 10 region higher with the defect concentration of the interface formation of described germanium-silicon layer, after trapped electron, also can form P type doped region.
Owing to deviating from the direction of described substrate 10 along described collector layer 40, line dislocation density in described germanium-silicon layer reduces gradually, defect in described germanium-silicon layer also decreases, thereby the first higher territory, p type island region 401 of defect concentration that is positioned at described substrate 10 back sides at described substrate 10 back side self-assembling formations, it is defective p SiGe region, the second p type island region territory 402 lower with the defect concentration that is positioned at a described P type silicon Germanium regions surface, it is p SiGe region, two regions, be that the collector layer 40 that provides in the embodiment of the present invention is by the first higher territory, p type island region 401 of defect concentration, it is defective p SiGe region, the second p type island region territory 402 lower with defect concentration, it is p SiGe region, two parts form.
Owing to comparing with silicon layer, in germanium layer or in germanium-silicon layer, there is larger carrier mobility and lower contact berrier, thereby make under identical doping content, in germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer, there is lower tagma resistance and contact resistance, and then make the power semiconductor that described collector layer 40 is germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer there is lower conduction voltage drop.
And, compare with silicon layer, in germanium layer or in germanium-silicon layer, there is lower carrier lifetime, when the PN junction positively biased at described substrate 10 back sides, electron current density from the described collector layer 40 of the interior inflow of described substrate 10 is larger, thereby strengthened the Extracting Ability of charge carrier in 40 pairs of described substrates 10 of described collector layer, in the process that makes to turn-off at described power semiconductor, in described substrate 10, in electronics and described collector layer 40, hole has recombination velocity faster, and then accelerated the turn-off speed of described power semiconductor, shortened the turn-off time of described power semiconductor.
When doping content in described collector layer 40 is higher, method for forming semiconductor devices provided by the present invention also comprises: implanting impurity ion in described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer, and adopt the mode of annealing, activate the foreign ion in described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer.
In one embodiment of the invention, this detailed process can be: after described substrate 10 back sides form germanium layers or germanium-silicon layer, described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer are carried out to Implantation, thereby in described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer dopant implant ion.When inject the foreign ion satisfying the demands in described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer after, adopt the mode of annealing, activate the foreign ion in described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer, form final collector layer 40.
In one embodiment of the invention, described foreign ion is boron ion.In other embodiments of the invention, described foreign ion can be also other P type ion, and the present invention does not limit this.
Because described p type impurity ion has lower activationary temperature in described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer, general in the temperature range of 300 ℃-500 ℃, can activate completely, thereby make the power semiconductor providing in the embodiment of the present invention, only need to adopt common annealing, just can obtain higher impurity activation rate.And the formation technique of described germanium layer or germanium-silicon layer, form process compatible with power semiconductor of the prior art, can not increase extra cost of manufacture, can not bring the problem such as stain yet.
