In this power semiconductor, according to the conduction and cut-off of gate voltage control action electric current.In power MOSFET In, the action current refers to the electric current between source-leakage, in IGBT, in addition to carrying out with power MOSFET identical actions also The action of bipolar transistor is carried out simultaneously, and the action current flows through in emitter stage-inter-collector.
In groove grid(trench gate)In the IGBT of type, on the surface of semiconductor layer a plurality of groove portion is formed(trench), In groove portion formed gate insulating film, as the polysilicon layer of gate electrode, the inner surface of each groove plays a role as MOSFET.With each groove The corresponding each gate electrode in portion connects side by side, and is connected with route bus.Route bus are for applying to gate electrode in action Alive wiring.Figure 15 is the vertical view viewed from above of of the structure of the groove in the IGBT for show schematically groove gate type Figure.In the figure, the flat shape of groove and the relation of route bus are schematically illustrated.
Figure 15's(a)In, the polycrystalline silicon cloth in groove 80 and route bus 35 position relationship in the plane and groove 80 Line and the position relationship that the connecting portion of route bus 35 is bus contact 911.
Figure 15's(b)In the flat shape of groove 80 is shown.7 device grooves that groove 80 is extended by the above-below direction in figure 81 and the upper direction in figure is by the connection of these device grooves and left and right directions extends in figure circumferential groove 82 is constituted, these grooves It is integrated.End of each device groove 81 towards chip(Upside in figure)Extend parallel to, a circumferential groove 82 is designed to In the end side of chip, device groove 81 is vertical is connected with these.
Figure 15's(c)In illustrate within and around groove 80 formed polysilicon layer 32,90 flat shape.Such as It is described afterwards, here, polysilicon layer 32 is the polysilicon layer in device groove 81.Therefore, the flat shape and device of polysilicon layer 32 The flat shape of groove 81 is substantially uniform.On the other hand, polysilicon layer 90 is the polysilicon layer of circumferential groove 82 and its surrounding, and than outer Circumferential groove 82 is big.These polysilicon layers are integrated in groove 80, and are adulterated in the way of raising electrical conductivity, thus make Play a role for wiring.
Figure 15's(d)In the position relationship of polysilicon layer 90 and bus contact 911 is shown, such as Figure 15(a)It is shown, The position of bus contact 911 connects polysilicon layer 90 and route bus 35.In addition, Figure 15's(a)In, omit and touched with bus The description of the polysilicon layer 32 in 911 unrelated device grooves 81 of point.
Below, using Figure 15's(a)In the section in C-C directions illustrate in greater detail the construction.Figure 16 is to represent this section The figure in face.Here, for convenience, the section of the left and right directions in the side of device groove 81 illustrates Figure 15, illustrates in the side of circumferential groove 82 The section of the above-below direction in Figure 15, the single dotted broken line in Figure 16 represents the position of the vertical curve of C-C.As shown in figure 16, groove 80(Device groove 81, circumferential groove 82)Be formed as the surface insertion p layers 21 from semiconductor layer 20, the semiconductor layer 20 is in face side With p layers(Basalis)21、n-Layer 22, n+Layer 23.n-Layer 22 is formed only in the side with device groove 81, thus device groove 81 Lower end reach n-Layer 22, the lower end of circumferential groove 82 reaches n+Layer 23.Wherein, the width of device groove 81(Figure 15's(b)In a left side The width of right direction)With the width of circumferential groove 82(Figure 15's(b)In above-below direction width)It is identical.In addition, actually in n+The downside of layer 23 is formed with collector layer or colelctor electrode etc., but, omit about their record in figure 16.
As shown in figure 16, across relatively thin gate insulating film 31, the shape in device groove 81 inside device groove 81, circumferential groove 82 Into there is polysilicon layer(Gate electrode)32, it is formed with polysilicon layer in circumferential groove 82(Polysilicon wire)90.Polysilicon layer(Grid electricity Pole)32nd, polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)90 are formed as filling device groove 81, circumferential groove respectively across relatively thin gate insulating film 31 82。
Wherein, the n of the source region as MOSFET is formed with the both sides of device groove 81+Layer 24.Therefore, in device groove 81 In, by controlling polysilicon layer(Gate electrode)32 current potential, is capable of the n of the inner side of control device groove 81+Layer 24 and n-Layer 22 it Between p layers 21 in raceway groove conduction and cut-off.
Also, the side of device groove 81 is being formed with, in whole p layers 21 and n+Layer 24 is formed with the transmitting formed by aluminium etc. Pole 33.Wherein, polysilicon layer(Gate electrode)32 are insulated by interlayer insulating film 34 with emitter stage 33.According to this construction, pass through The current potential of control grid electrode 32, can control in emitter stage 33 and the colelctor electrode for being located at downside(It is not shown)Between the electric current that flows through Conduction and cut-off.
On the other hand, in circumferential groove 82, due to not forming n+Layer 24, thus do not carry out this action.But, As shown in figure 15, because device groove 81 and circumferential groove 82 are connected, thus the polysilicon layer in each device groove 81(Gate electrode)32 With the polysilicon layer in circumferential groove 82(Polysilicon wire)90 are actually integrated.That is, circumferential groove 82 be in order to will with it is a plurality of The corresponding polysilicon layer of device groove 81(Gate electrode)32 connect side by side, and it are connected with route bus 35 and are formed. This, as shown in figure 16, the polysilicon layer in circumferential groove 82(Polysilicon wire)90 not only fill circumferential groove 82, and expand it to Around, the right side of circumferential groove 82 in figure 16 is connected with route bus 35.Route bus 35 are utilized and the identical of emitter stage 33 Material is constituted, again by the insulation such as interlayer insulating film 91,92 and p layers 21.Therefore, interlayer insulating film 91 be open out bus touch Point 911.Figure 15 illustrates groove 80(Device groove 81, circumferential groove 82), polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)33rd, bus contact 911 And the position relationship in the plane of route bus 35.
According to this construction, polysilicon layer can be passed through(Polysilicon wire)The multiple polysilicon layers of 90 connections(Gate electrode) 32, control whole polysilicon layers by route bus 35(Gate electrode)32 current potential.
Figure 17's(a)(b), Figure 18(c)(d), Figure 19(e)It is to represent the polysilicon layer to be formed in above-mentioned construction(Grid Electrode)32nd, polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)The operation sectional view of manufacturing process when 90.Here, illustrating and the device in Figure 16 The relevant section in part groove 81, the respective position of circumferential groove 82.
First, such as Figure 17(a)It is shown, device groove 81, periphery is formed on the surface of semiconductor layer 20 by dry-etching Groove 82, then forms gate insulating film 31.Now, form Figure 15's(b)The photoresist of the shown shape by opening grooving 80 Agent pattern, by carrying out dry-etching, while forming device groove 81, circumferential groove 82.Now, if device groove 81, circumferential groove 82 Width it is identical, then easily enter to exercise their depth also identical dry-etching.Also, by thermal oxide, established The inside of device groove 81, circumferential groove 82, it is also possible to form uniform and relatively thin gate insulating film 31.
Then, such as Figure 17(b)It is shown, after interlayer dielectric 92 are formed in the side of circumferential groove 82, formed using CVD etc. Uniform and thicker polysilicon layer 40.Thus, device groove 81, the inside of circumferential groove 82 are filled by polysilicon layer 40, and entirely Surface is also covered by polysilicon layer 40.
Then, such as Figure 18(c)It is shown, with Figure 15's(c)Shown polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)90 shape pair Ying Di, forms the photoresist layer 100 for covering the region for including circumferential groove 82.Now, light is not formed in the side of device groove 81 Cause resist layer 100.
Then, in the state of photoresist layer 100 is formed with, the dry-etching of polysilicon layer 40 is carried out(Eat-back). Thus, in addition to being formed with the position of photoresist layer 100, the polysilicon layer 40 on surface is uniformly removed, final Arrive Figure 18's(d)Shown shape.Then, by removing photoresist layer 100, such as Figure 19(e)It is shown, in device groove 81 Side forms polysilicon layer(Gate electrode)32, form polysilicon layer in the side of circumferential groove 82(Polysilicon wire)90.The side of device groove 81 Polysilicon layer(Gate electrode)32 inside for only remaining in device groove 81.Then, insulating barrier is formed in entire surface and is patterned, It is consequently formed interlayer insulating film 34,91.Now, the bus contact 911 in interlayer insulating film 91 is also formed.
That is, above-mentioned construction can be manufactured easily with the method shown in Figure 17~19.
But, there are the problem points of following explanation in above-mentioned construction.
Figure 20 be schematically enlarged representation by the shape after eat-back(Figure 19's(e))The figure in the region of middle use dotted line. In the figure, the structure of the upper end of circumferential groove 82 is exaggerated and represents.As described above, gate insulating film 31 is shape by thermal oxide Into, and be uniform and relatively thinly form in device groove 81, the inside of circumferential groove 82.But, it is device groove 81 on surface, outer The corner of circumferential groove 82 is also formed uniformly gate insulating film 31, actually highly difficult, as shown in figure 20, in their corner, Gate insulating film 31 is generally thin than other regions.Therefore, the polysilicon layer of the corner portion on the surface of circumferential groove 82(Polysilicon wire)90 With semiconductor layer 20(P layers 21)Between pressure reduction.On the other hand, such as Figure 18(d)It is shown, in the side of device groove 81, at it Corner, polysilicon layer 40 is removed by eat-back, and, as shown in figure 16, later the part is covered by interlayer insulating film 34, because This, even if gate insulating film 31 is thinning in corner, the insulation in the region is pressure will not also to become problem.On the other hand, Figure 15,16 In shown construction, in order to arrange bus contact 911, polysilicon layer in the outside of circumferential groove 82(Polysilicon wire)90 is certain logical Cross the corner.
That is, in above-mentioned construction, the grid of IGBT or power MOSFET it is pressure unrelated with original action, by order to The restriction of the gate insulating film 31 in the circumferential groove 82 for connecting and arranging.If making the thickness of gate insulating film 31 integrally thickening, though So its it is pressure substantially improved, but in order to carry out good switch motion, need to make the gate insulating film 31 in device groove 81 It is thinning.
Thus, for example what the gate insulating film that the corner portion for making periphery rooved face is recorded in patent document 1 was locally thicker Construction.In addition, recorded in patent document 2 being constructed as below:Circumferential groove is not used, by the terminal part for increasing device groove, is disappeared Except the uneven thickness of the gate insulating film of this corner portion, and polysilicon wire is taken out from the terminal part.
【Patent document 1】Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 07-249769 publication
【Patent document 2】Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2000-200901 publications
But, in the technology that patent document 1 is recorded, manufacturing process substantially becomes complicated.
In addition, in the technology that patent document 2 is recorded, although the thickness of gate insulating film of groove corner portion can be improved not , but, make the thickness substantially uniformity of the gate insulating film in the groove of this cross sectional shape, it is actually highly difficult.The opposing party Face, in the art, forms polysilicon wire on the gate insulating film for be formed at the corner, and this point is not changed in.Therefore, adopt It also is difficult to fully improve pressure with the technology.
That is, in the semiconductor device of groove gate type(IGBT, power MOSFET)In, it is difficult with simple manufacture method and realizes Construction pressure enough can be obtained.

(1st embodiment)
Below, the semiconductor device of the 1st embodiment of the present invention is illustrated.The semiconductor device is IGBT.Fig. 1 is to illustrate Ground represents shape, the top view of position relationship of the groove 10 and route bus 35 of the semiconductor device 1 etc..In addition, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 are The A-A directions of the semiconductor device 1, the sectional view in B-B directions.
Fig. 1 corresponds to Figure 15, Fig. 1's(a)In illustrate groove 10, route bus 35, the flat shape of bus contact 511, Position relationship.
Such as Fig. 1(b)Shown, the groove 10 being formed in the semiconductor device 1 also is provided with the above-below direction in figure(One side To)The 7 device grooves 11 for extending and upper end in these figures(One end)It is connected and the right and left in figure with these device grooves 11 To(The direction intersected with a direction)The circumferential groove 12 of extension.This point is identical with the structure of Figure 15.The inside of device groove 10 And the construction that is adjacent is also identical.That is, the structure phase of semiconductor layer 20, gate insulating film 31 for being used etc. and Figure 15, Figure 16 Together.Polysilicon layer in device groove 11(Gate electrode)32nd, the shape of interlayer insulating film 34 etc. is also identical.Additionally, it is preferred that circumferential groove 12 width(The width of the above-below direction in Fig. 1)With the width of device groove 11(The width of the left and right directions in Fig. 1)It is equal.
Wherein, link slot 13 is additionally provided with the groove 10, the link slot 13 is from circumferential groove 12 towards upper side(The end of chip Portion side or the opposition side of device groove 11)Extend.It is preferred that link slot 13 is parallel with device groove 11, its width(Right and left in Fig. 1 To width)It is identical with device groove 11.And, it is assumed that the connecting portion of link slot 13 and circumferential groove 12 and device groove 11 and periphery The connecting portion of groove 12 is different.Therefore, in the flat shape of the groove 10(Fig. 1's(b))In be formed with road junction footpath without shape Into four branch road footpaths(Become the part of cross shape).Therefore, link slot 13 is between 2 adjacent device grooves 11, from circumferential groove 12 to the opposition side of this 2 device grooves 11 extends.Also, in the gap of 2 adjacent link slots 13 across circumferential groove 12 Opposition side has three device grooves 11.That is, the interval of 2 adjacent link slots 13 is configured to than 2 adjacent device grooves 11 Interval width.

In this configuration, bus contact 511 is formed at the surface of auxiliary tank 14, thus route bus 35 and polysilicon Layer(Polysilicon wire)50 connections in auxiliary tank 14.Therefore, there is no need to the polysilicon layer in the construction such as Figure 15(Polycrystalline silicon cloth Line)90 like that, by polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)50 extend to groove 10(Circumferential groove 12, link slot 13, auxiliary tank 14) Outside.Due to bus contact 511 is located in auxiliary tank 14, thus polysilicon layer is only formed in auxiliary tank 14(Polysilicon Wiring)50.
Therefore, there is no need to photoresist layer 100 be formed the manufacture method as shown in Figure 17~19 and to polysilicon Layer(Polysilicon wire)50 are patterned.As long as forming above-mentioned groove 10, it becomes possible to the polysilicon layer in device groove 11(Grid electricity Pole)32 polysilicon layers for forming structure shown in Fig. 2 by being etched back in the same manner(Polysilicon wire)50.That is, Figure 18 is not required the use of In photoresist layer 100 can be formed Fig. 1~Fig. 3 described in construction.Therefore, there is no need to for forming photoresist layer 100 photo-mask process.
In addition, in this case, due to not requiring the use of photoresist layer 100 by carry out the eat-back of polysilicon layer, Thus the situation during eat-back is not changed in the side of device groove 11, the side of circumferential groove 12, the side of link slot 13, the side of auxiliary tank 14.Therefore, In this case, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, the polysilicon layer in its section and device groove 11(Gate electrode)32 in the same manner, polycrystalline Silicon layer(Polysilicon wire)50 only remain in circumferential groove 12, link slot 13, the inside of auxiliary tank 14, can make it topmost than outer Circumferential groove 12, link slot 13, the corner of auxiliary tank 14(The surface of semiconductor layer 20)It is low.Therefore, even if on the surface of semiconductor layer 20 Circumferential groove 12, link slot 13, the corner portion of auxiliary tank 14 the local of gate insulating film 31 it is thinning in the case of, the thinning grid are exhausted Velum 31 and polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)50 also will not contact, and at the position interlayer insulating film shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 3 is formed 51.As shown in Fig. 2 being same in this construction and device groove 11.Therefore, even if the gate insulation of the corner portion in auxiliary tank 14 In the case that the local of film 31 is thinning, polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)50 with semiconductor layer 20(P layers 21)Between it is pressure not yet Can reduce.
That is, can obtain pressure enough in the semiconductor device 1, and can be somebody's turn to do using simple manufacture method Semiconductor device 1.
In addition, in said structure, making the width of device groove 11, circumferential groove 12, link slot 13 identical, auxiliary tank 14 is made Width(The width of the left and right directions in Fig. 1:Oval short axle)It is wider than the width.This is to pass through to increase bus contact 511 area, reduces polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)Contact resistance between 50 and route bus 35.This structure causes to connect Interval between access slot 13 is wider than the interval between device groove 11, it is thus possible to easily realize.In addition, according to this structure, Easily realization is formed in the opening of the bus contact 511 on auxiliary tank 14(The dry-etching of interlayer insulating film 51).
Alternatively, it is also possible to make auxiliary tank 14 broaden while the interval for making link slot 13 is identical with device groove 11.Fig. 4's (a)Groove, route bus 35, the flat shape of bus contact 511, position relationship now is represented, Fig. 4's(b)Groove is only shown Flat shape.The figure corresponds respectively to Fig. 1's(a)(b).In this configuration, between 2 adjacent device grooves 11, from outer 12 opposition sides in device groove 11 of circumferential groove extend to form link slot 13.Auxiliary tank 14 is provided with the end of each link slot 13, But, the distance between auxiliary tank 14 and circumferential groove 12(The length of link slot 13)It is configured to according to adjacent auxiliary tank 14 It is different.In the structure of Fig. 4, the distance is configured to three kinds of distances.According to this structure, even if broadening in auxiliary tank 14 and increasing In the case of the area of big single bus contact 511, it is also possible to increase sum, the gross area of bus contact 511.Accordingly, it is capable to It is enough further to reduce route bus 35 and polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)Resistance between 50.
In said structure, dry-etching is adopted in order to form groove 10 in semiconductor layer 20, but, now typically lose Carve speed fast in the region of wider width in groove 10.Therefore, the position that generally there is wider width in groove 10 deepens, width compared with The narrow position tendency more shallow than the position of wider width.As described later, the situation of pressure reduction is even so there is also, thus it is excellent Choosing makes the width of device groove 11, circumferential groove 12, link slot 13 identical.In addition, in the examples described above, the width ratio of auxiliary tank 14 should Width width, however, it is possible to so that the width of auxiliary tank 14 is identical with their width.In this case, link slot itself End essentially becomes auxiliary tank.In this case, bus contact is less than the width, but, as long as the part can be made Contact resistance is sufficiently small, then can also adopt this construction.
In addition, as it was previously stated, the connection of the connecting portion of link slot 13 and circumferential groove 12 and device groove 11 and circumferential groove 12 Position is different, thus road junction footpath is formed in the flat shape of the groove 10 without forming four branch road footpaths.This is to suppress In the case where four branch road footpaths are defined, width substantially broadens on the diagonal of its crossover sites, and suppresses groove 10 to exist The part deepens or etches shape defect.But, in the pressure reduction due to the part and due to aforementioned thinning grid The pressure reduction of dielectric film compare it is negligible in the case of, it is also possible to four branch road footpaths are formed in groove 10.
In addition, in above-mentioned construction, the flat shape of auxiliary tank is set to into ellipse, but, as long as being capable of shape thereon Into bus contact, then its shape can be arbitrary shape.For example, it is also possible to be circular, rectangle.In addition, adopting in the examples described above Connect the structure of a plurality of link slot used in a circumferential groove, but it is also possible to it is multiple using circumferential groove is divided into, outside each Circumferential groove connects the structure of multiple link slots.
(2nd embodiment)
In the semiconductor device of the 2nd embodiment, it is further improved due to the uneven pressure reduction of groove depth. In the semiconductor device, the flat shape of groove is different from aforesaid semiconductor device 1.
First, illustrate due to the uneven pressure reduction of groove depth.Fig. 5 is represented in semiconductor substrate 20 at equal intervals simultaneously There is the situation of 4 grooves 70 in row(a)Situation that is lower and there is wider than a groove 70 and deep groove 71(b)Under semiconductor substrate 20 Potential distribution at interior section.With regard to this point, but in device groove side, auxiliary tank side etc. be all likewise, here auxiliary Groove side is particularly problematic.Here, dotted line represents an equipotential line, equipotential line is presented portion jumpy in left and right directions Point it is the part of electric-field enhancing.In addition, in Figure 5 to polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)The incomplete structure of 50 upsides is recorded.Such as Shown in figure, in the situation that there is a wide and deep groove 71(b)Under, particularly form the equipotential line near the bottom of groove 71 Become steep region.Therefore, for the region for suppressing to form electric field local enhancement, the uniform depth of groove is preferably made as previously mentioned.
But, in the case where making the width of auxiliary tank 14 of aforementioned semiconductor device 1 broaden, by dry-etching shape During grooving 10, the part of auxiliary tank 14 forms and must compare other parts(Device groove 11, circumferential groove 12, link slot 13)It is deep.Therefore, such as Fig. 5's(b)It is shown, it is possible to form the region of electric field local enhancement, it is pressure in this region to be restricted.That is, aforementioned half It is pressure to be likely due to the auxiliary tank 14 that broadens of local and reduce in conductor device 1.
In order to eliminate such case, other grooves are configured in the both sides of auxiliary tank more effective.The section of this construction and electricity Bit distribution is as shown in Figure 6.Wherein, here, emphasizing that the depth difference of groove is described than actual conditions.In such configuration, exist The both sides of wide and deep auxiliary tank 72 are formed with narrower than its and shallow electric field and relax groove 73.The void of the such as Fig. 6 of equipotential line now Shown in line, the side equipotential line part jumpy near the bottom of auxiliary tank 72 is removed, thus does not exist Equipotential line is presented part jumpy.That is, in the construction of Fig. 6, even if in the case of using wide and deep auxiliary tank 72, Also the region of electric field local enhancement will not be formed, thus pressure raising.Wherein, it is not necessary to make the depth ratio of electric field mitigation groove 73 auxiliary Help groove 72 shallow.In the case of their depth identical, can realize Fig. 5's(a)Situation, can still relax electric field collection In, thus their depth can also be identical.
Therefore, in order to obtain above-mentioned effect, in aforesaid groove 10, formed vertically between adjacent auxiliary tank 14 The electric field that direction extends relaxes groove.Now, electric field relaxes the cross sectional shape inside groove and device groove 11, circumferential groove 12, company Access slot 13, auxiliary tank 14 are identical.The one of the flat shape of this groove is for example shown in Fig. 7.Fig. 7 is and Fig. 1(a)(b)Accordingly The top view of the groove is represented, Fig. 7's(a)The shaped position relation of groove and the grade of route bus 35 is represented, Fig. 7's(b)Only represent groove Flat shape.
In this configuration, it is provided with electric field in every auxiliary tank and relaxes groove 15.Electric field relaxes groove 15 and is formed as from left and right two Side clamps the auxiliary tank 14 to be formed that locally broadens.Therefore, such as Fig. 7(b)Shown, electric field relaxes groove 15 to be had in left side be close to auxiliary Help the part 1 151 and the part 2 152 in the close auxiliary tank 14 in right side of groove 14.Also, have in the opposition side of circumferential groove 12 There is third portion 153, part 1 151 and part 2 152 are linked into an integrated entity by third portion 153.
It is preferred that the width that electric field relaxes groove 15 is identical with device groove 11, circumferential groove 12, link slot 13, in this case, The narrow width of its width ratio auxiliary tank 14.Also, whole electric fields relax groove 15 and are connected with circumferential groove 12.According to this structure, show The situation shown in Figure 16 is so realized around auxiliary tank 14.I.e., thus, the electric field of the periphery of auxiliary tank 14 is concentrated and delayed With.Further it is evident that the groove of structure shown in Fig. 7 can be identically formed with aforesaid groove 10, and can be same in an identical manner Sample ground forms polysilicon layer(Gate electrode)32nd, polysilicon layer(Polysilicon wire)50.
Even if in addition, simplifying the structure that electric field relaxes groove 15, adopting and eliminating the third portion 153 that electric field is relaxed in groove 15 Structure afterwards, it is clear that also can obtain relaxing the effect that electric field is concentrated.Fig. 8 is to represent this structure identically with Fig. 7(1st becomes Shape example)Groove shape figure.In this case, compared with the structure of Fig. 7, groove entirety can be reduced, chip can be reduced Size.
In addition, the polysilicon layer in by auxiliary tank 72(Polysilicon wire)50 are set to swim in the case of current potential, also can Access the effect of Fig. 6.Thus, it is also possible to using making auxiliary tank 14 not become one with device groove 11, circumferential groove 12, link slot 13 The structure of body.Fig. 9 is to represent that the electric field in structure shown in Fig. 7 is relaxed into groove 15 separates identically with Fig. 7 so as to not with device groove 11st, circumferential groove 12, example when link slot 13 is integrally formed(2nd variation)Figure.Equally, Figure 10 is earth's surface identical with Fig. 7 Show the example when electric field mitigation groove 15 in structure shown in Fig. 8 is separated(3rd variation)Figure.In addition, electric field relaxes groove 15 Obviously for link slot 13 also plays identical effect, thus in the case of the overall relatively depth of link slot 13, it is also possible to form ratio Its shallow electric field relaxes groove 15.
In above-mentioned example, electric field is set to relax the width of groove 15(Depth)Less than auxiliary tank 14, but, make theirs In the case of width identical, as it was previously stated, can still relax electric field concentration.Accordingly it is also possible to make electric field relax the shape of groove 15 Shape is identical with auxiliary tank 14.Figure 11 represents the example that the so deformation of part 1 151, part 2 152 is made in structure shown in Fig. 7 (4th variation).This structure is deformed, identically with the 1st variation, electric field relaxes groove 15 and is configured to only in left and right bag Enclose the example of auxiliary tank 14(5th variation)As shown in figure 12.In addition, to structure shown in Figure 11(4th variation)Deformed, Identically with the 2nd variation, electric field is relaxed into the detached example of groove 15(6th variation)As shown in figure 13.In addition, by Figure 12 institutes Show structure(5th variation)In electric field relax groove 15 separate when example(7th variation)As shown in figure 14.
So, in the 2nd embodiment, it is being possible to produce the electric field concentration of the auxiliary tank to be formed that broadens due to local In the case of, groove is relaxed by the appropriately configured electric field around auxiliary tank, the electric field can be relaxed and concentrated.Obviously can be with 1 embodiment is identically formed the groove of aforesaid any shape.That is, thus without photo-mask process is especially added, groove is only changed Shape be capable of achieving above-mentioned construction.Therefore, it is possible to be easily manufactured above-mentioned semiconductor device.
In addition, in the overall structure of chip, only can concentrate most debatable position that electric field is set in electric field and relax groove, Electric field need not be arranged in correspondence with whole auxiliary tanks relax groove.
Above-mentioned semiconductor device is IGBT, but, as long as the semiconductor device of the groove gate type with many bar grooves, above-mentioned Structure is obviously exactly effective.For example, said structure is also effective in power MOSFET.
