Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of semiconductor power device technology fields, specifically, are related to a kind of groove-type power field effect
Answer the structure of transistor device.
Background technique
1980, RCA Corp., the U.S. applied for first IGBT patent, and Toshiba Corp is made that first within 1985
Industrial IGBT.From device physically for, it is non-transparent collector punch IGBT, referred to as punch IGBT
(Punchthrough IGBT- is abbreviated as PT-IGBT).In 1996, motorola inc, which has delivered an article description, to be had
The research for manufacturing non-break-through IGBT is closed, the technique for stressing how to manufacture collector in thin silicon wafer, FZ N-type silicon chip used is most
Thin there are about 170um thickness.Next year, Infineon company have also delivered the NPT- that 600V is made with the FZ N-type silicon chip of 100um thickness
IGBT.99 years or so, the IGBT of industrial a new generation started to go into operation, and the IGBT of this new generation is a kind of high-speed switching devices,
It does not need to shorten minority carrier life time in device with heavy metal or irradiation, and technology mainly is ultra thin silicon wafers technique plus weak collection
Electricity knot or be transparent collector junction, Infineon company is referred to as field cut-off IGBT, the following years, each main production IGBT
Company all releases one after another similar product.
The main technology of IGBT and performance (i.e. electrical parameter) have (1) breakdown voltage, (2) forward voltage drop, (3) switch spy
Property, (4) short circuit safety zone (SCSOA), (5) reverse-bias safe area (RBSOA) and (6) forward biased safe area (FBSOA)
Deng.Forward voltage drop be it is conflicting with switching speed and short-circuit safety zone, that is, switch will have been injured by improving forward voltage drop
The performance of speed and short-circuit safety zone, such as increases N-The hole-electron pair density of extension layer, forward voltage drop can improve, but store
More charges can make that the turn-off time increases and short circuit current increases, so that turn-off speed and short-circuit safety zone be made to be deteriorated.This
The target of invention is to minimize the contradiction between forward voltage drop and switching speed and short-circuit safety zone, such as reduces forward voltage drop
When, the adverse effect to switching speed and short-circuit safety zone is minimized.
In order to reduce the turn-off time, increases frequency capability indirectly and reduce the turn-off time, while less increasing positive pressure
Drop can be removed intracorporal charge is stored in as early as possible when designer needs to optimize charge Injection Level and shutdown.Field cut-off IGBT
Backside structure the contradiction that effective MECHANISM SOLUTION determines forward voltage drop and turn-off time can be provided.The backside structure of field cut-off IGBT is main
It is made of the buffer area N and P+ layer thin and that concentration is less high.The back side has the field cut-off IGBT of the buffer area N can be with punch
IGBT equally uses the relatively thin expansion area N-, this is conducive to on-state voltage drop.With matching for the buffer area N and P+ layers of concentration and thickness
The charge level of injection is controlled, keeps the charge of injection sufficiently high to such an extent that keep pressure drop low, while not being too high and to be significantly increased again
Turn-off time.In useful mechanism, P+ layer thin and that concentration is not high is most critical.In turn off process, electronics can penetrate P
+ layer diffuses to passive electrode, this will be greatly reduced the turn-off time, more more effective and do not increase logical than with local minority carrier life time is reduced
State pressure drop.
Forward voltage drop, turn-off time and these three electric parameters of short-circuit safety zone are the key technical indexes of IGBT.They
It influences each other, exactly, forward voltage drop and turn-off time and short circuit safety zone contradiction each other.When improveing forward voltage drop,
Two parameters of remaininging can be deteriorated.So it is incomplete that independent narration, which improves a certain parameter,.The quality of technology is to generate mutual
Contradictory size.If taking punch IGBT compared with IGBT is ended in field, the contradiction that the latter generates in this respect is smaller.As just
When being adjusted to same lower value to pressure drop, the turn-off time can be made shorter by use shut-off technology.
For example transparent collector junction of backside structure can be used to efficiently control the concentration and distribution of device back charge, to close
The concentration of surface portion charge and distribution influence are relatively small, to influence concentration and distribution of the device close to surface portion charge,
Most effective and easy way is the cellular construction using device surface, and the concentration for improving device surface Partial charge can be reduced
Forward voltage drop, the existing scheme for improving forward voltage drop using surface cell structure have following several:
Scheme one:
As shown in Figure 1, the cellular construction of active area has two parts, a portion and general common trench IGBT list
Meta structure is the same, and conventional structure part is called in this text;Is there is a region in another part in silicon wafer, around this area
Domain is groove, and trench wall has oxide layer, is filled with polysilicon in groove, there is an oxide layer in region surface, is one in oxide layer
Polysilicon layer, region are N-type region, and wherein without p type island region, this N-type region is not connected to emission electrode directly, this part
It is called strengthening part in this text.
Scheme two:
As shown in Fig. 2, the cellular construction of active area has two parts, a portion and general common trench IGBT list
Meta structure is the same, and another part is groove around this p type island region domain to there is a p type island region domain in silicon wafer, and trench wall has oxygen
Change layer, is filled with polysilicon in groove, the p type island region in this unit is not connected directly to emission electrode.
Scheme three:
As shown in figure 3, strengthening part structure and scheme two are similar, only there is a N on p type island region+Area.
Scheme four:
As shown in figure 4, strengthening part structure and scheme three are similar, only in N+Mono- oxide layer of Qu Shangyou has in oxide layer
One polysilicon layer, this polysilicon layer are connected with the polysilicon in groove.
Above several schemes are all with practical value, and different strengthening part structures, which is all up, in each scheme increases surface load
Sub- concentration is flowed, so as to improve forward voltage drop, and does not increase the turn-off time, but they there are some disadvantages, can all gate capacitance be made to increase
Greatly, this power consumption that will increase driving circuit, in addition, above each scheme does not all propose how to enhance short-circuit safety zone simultaneously,
Do not have deliberately to set the position of breakdown voltage, their these disadvantages are to be improved.
