Description

一种沟槽栅IGBT芯片A trench gate IGBT chip

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及半导体器件领域,尤其涉及一种沟槽栅IGBT芯片。The invention relates to the field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a trench gate IGBT chip.

背景技术Background technique

目前,绝大多数IGBT厂商都采用沟槽栅结构技术,以获得更低的功耗,更高的功率密度,更快的开关速度。At present, most IGBT manufacturers adopt trench gate structure technology to obtain lower power consumption, higher power density, and faster switching speed.

对于沟槽栅IGBT芯片而言,为了兼顾芯片的耐压、功耗与安全工作区性能,现在出现了设置有虚栅极的沟槽栅IGBT芯片。在该IGBT芯片的结构中,栅极分为常规栅极和虚栅极。常规栅极用于进行开关控制,而虚栅极用于改善芯片的性能(如导通电阻、耐压和安全工作区等)。设置有虚栅极的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的剖面示意图如图1所示。在图1所示的IGBT芯片的元胞结构中包括第I沟槽、第II沟槽和第III沟槽,这三个沟槽均匀分布在芯片内部。其中,第I沟槽的内侧设置有发射极,所以第I沟槽栅为芯片的常规栅极,而第II沟槽和第III沟槽位于第I沟槽的外侧,并且在第II沟槽和第III沟槽的两侧均没有引出发射极,所以第II沟槽和第III沟槽为芯片的虚栅极。For trench gate IGBT chips, trench gate IGBT chips with dummy gates appear now in order to take into account the withstand voltage, power consumption and safe operating area performance of the chip. In the structure of the IGBT chip, the gate is divided into a normal gate and a dummy gate. Conventional gates are used for switch control, while virtual gates are used to improve chip performance (such as on-resistance, withstand voltage and safe operating area, etc.). A schematic cross-sectional view of a trench gate IGBT chip provided with a dummy gate is shown in FIG. 1 . The cell structure of the IGBT chip shown in FIG. 1 includes groove I, groove II and groove III, and these three grooves are evenly distributed inside the chip. Wherein, the inner side of the first trench is provided with an emitter, so the gate of the first trench is a conventional gate of the chip, while the second trench and the third trench are located outside the first trench, and the gate of the second trench is There are no emitters drawn on both sides of the third trench and the third trench, so the second trench and the third trench are the virtual gates of the chip.

为了进一步提升IGBT芯片的性能,其中,一种方法是增加虚栅的密度。目前,可以通过以下方法来增加虚栅的密度。具体方法如下:In order to further improve the performance of the IGBT chip, one method is to increase the density of the dummy gate. Currently, the density of dummy gates can be increased through the following methods. The specific method is as follows:

在常规栅极的外侧沿着原有虚栅的方向继续增加虚栅的数量:在元胞尺寸不变的情况下,在常规栅极的外侧增加虚栅的数量意味着工艺特征尺寸变小,而最小工艺尺寸必然受到制造工艺与设备的限制,因此,虚栅的数量增加有限度,而且工艺特征尺寸的缩小会增加IGBT芯片的工艺难度和成本。Continue to increase the number of dummy gates on the outside of the conventional gate along the direction of the original dummy gate: In the case of constant cell size, increasing the number of dummy gates outside the conventional gate means that the process feature size becomes smaller, The minimum process size is bound to be limited by the manufacturing process and equipment. Therefore, there is a limit to the increase in the number of dummy gates, and the reduction of the process feature size will increase the process difficulty and cost of the IGBT chip.

然而,提高沟槽密度是当前沟槽栅的一个发展方向,因此,有必要提供一种沟槽栅IGBT芯片的新结构,以实现在不增加工艺难度与成本的基础上,提高IGBT芯片的沟槽密度。However, increasing the trench density is a development direction of the current trench gate. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new structure of the trench gate IGBT chip to realize the improvement of the trench gate of the IGBT chip without increasing the difficulty and cost of the process. slot density.

实施例一Embodiment one

图2是本发明实施例一提供的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的半元胞结构的平面示意图,图3(a)是图2所示的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的半元胞结构的沿x-x’方向的剖面示意图,图3(b)是图2所示的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的半元胞结构的沿y-y’方向的剖面示意图。Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of the half-cell structure of the trench gate IGBT chip provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and Fig. 3 (a) is the half-cell structure of the trench gate IGBT chip shown in Fig. 2 along x-x 'direction schematic cross-section, Figure 3 (b) is a half-cell structure of the trench gate IGBT chip shown in Figure 2 along the y-y' direction cross-sectional schematic.

需要说明的是,实施例一所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片是以N型衬底材料为例进行说明的。It should be noted that the trench gate IGBT chip described in Embodiment 1 is described by taking an N-type substrate material as an example.

如图2所示,本发明实施例一提供的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的半元胞结构包括第I沟槽栅201和第II沟槽栅202,第I沟槽栅201和第II沟槽栅202之间由P型区域203隔离。所述半元胞结构还包括发射极204和N+源极区205,其中,N+源极区205位于所述发射极204与第I沟槽201之间。其中,发射极204和N+源极区205位于第I沟槽栅201的一侧,第II沟槽栅202位于第I沟槽栅201的另一侧。As shown in Figure 2, the half-cell structure of the trench gate IGBT chip provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes the first trench gate 201 and the second trench gate 202, the first trench gate 201 and the second trench gate 202 are isolated by a P-type region 203 . The half-cell structure further includes an emitter 204 and an N+ source region 205, wherein the N+ source region 205 is located between the emitter 204 and the first trench 201. Wherein, the emitter 204 and the N+ source region 205 are located on one side of the first trench gate 201 , and the second trench gate 202 is located on the other side of the first trench gate 201 .

参见图3(a)和图3(b)所示,发射极204和N+源极区205设置在P-基区206内。Referring to FIG. 3( a ) and FIG. 3( b ), the emitter 204 and the N+ source region 205 are disposed in the P-base region 206 .

如图2和图3(b)所示,本发明实施例提供的IGBT芯片还进一步包括第III沟槽栅207。如图2所示,该第III沟槽栅207的栅长所在的直线与第II沟槽栅202的栅长所在的直线相交。也就是说,第III沟槽栅207的栅长在IGBT芯片上的方向不是沿着第II沟槽栅202的栅长在IGBT芯片上的方向,而是与第II沟槽栅202的方向相交,所以,第III沟槽栅的设置不会减小第II沟槽栅202的间距。As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3( b ), the IGBT chip provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes a third trench gate 207 . As shown in FIG. 2 , the line where the gate length of the third trench gate 207 is located intersects with the line where the gate length of the second trench gate 202 is located. That is to say, the direction of the gate length of the third trench gate 207 on the IGBT chip is not along the direction of the gate length of the second trench gate 202 on the IGBT chip, but intersects with the direction of the second trench gate 202 , Therefore, the arrangement of the third trench gate 202 will not reduce the pitch of the second trench gate 202 .

继续参见图3(a)和图3(b)所示,第I沟槽栅201内的多晶硅301被芯片表面的多晶硅引出到芯片表面,并且该第I沟槽栅201的一侧设置有发射极和N+源极区,该第I沟槽栅201为沟槽栅IGBT芯片的常规栅极。而第II沟槽栅202和第III沟槽栅207内的多晶硅301没有引出到芯片表面,该两沟槽内的多晶硅处于悬浮状态,所以第II沟槽栅202和第III沟槽栅207为悬浮栅极。并且该第II沟槽栅202和第III沟槽栅207的周围没有设置发射极,所以,第II沟槽栅202和第III沟槽栅207为IGBT芯片的虚栅极。Continue referring to Fig. 3 (a) and shown in Fig. 3 (b), the polysilicon 301 in the 1st trench gate 201 is drawn to the chip surface by the polysilicon of chip surface, and one side of this 1st trench gate 201 is provided with emitter Pole and N+ source region, the first trench gate 201 is a conventional gate of the trench gate IGBT chip. However, the polysilicon 301 in the II trench gate 202 and the III trench gate 207 is not drawn to the chip surface, and the polysilicon in the two trenches is in a suspended state, so the II trench gate 202 and the III trench gate 207 are Floating grid. And there is no emitter around the II trench gate 202 and the III trench gate 207, so the II trench gate 202 and the III trench gate 207 are virtual gates of the IGBT chip.

需要说明的是,通常情况下,本领域技术人员为了增加虚栅沟槽密度,通常是在原来虚栅沟槽的同一方向上设置更多的虚栅沟槽。而本发明突破本领域技术人员的惯用想法,从另外一个方向设置更多的虚栅沟槽,实现在不缩小沟槽间距的情况下,增加沟槽密度。这种设置方法具有显著的进步,具体表现在:It should be noted that, usually, in order to increase the density of dummy gate trenches, those skilled in the art usually arrange more dummy gate trenches in the same direction as the original dummy gate trenches. However, the present invention breaks through the common thinking of those skilled in the art, and sets more dummy gate trenches from another direction, so as to increase the trench density without reducing the trench spacing. This method of setting has significant improvements, as shown in:

1、由于没有缩小沟槽间距,所以,制备该IGBT芯片的工艺特征尺寸也没有缩小,所以增设的第III沟槽栅的数量受到工艺特征尺寸的限度的较小。1. Since the groove pitch is not reduced, the process feature size for preparing the IGBT chip is not reduced, so the number of added third trench gates is limited by the process feature size.

2、相较于现有技术,制备本发明实施例一提供的沟槽栅IGBT芯片,不会增加设备的工艺难度和成本。2. Compared with the prior art, the preparation of the trench gate IGBT chip provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention will not increase the difficulty and cost of the process of the equipment.

3、而且,可以采用现有的设备即可实现沟槽密度较高的IGBT芯片的制备。3. Furthermore, existing equipment can be used to realize the preparation of IGBT chips with higher groove density.

4、另外,由于是在与原来虚栅不同的方向上设置更多的虚栅沟槽,所以,这种增加虚栅沟槽密度的设置方法不会受到工艺特征尺寸和元胞尺寸的限制。相较于现有技术中的方法,该设置方法能够使沟槽密度达到更高。4. In addition, since more dummy gate trenches are arranged in a different direction from the original dummy gate, this method of increasing the density of dummy gate trenches will not be limited by process feature size and cell size. Compared with the method in the prior art, the setting method can achieve a higher groove density.

参见图3(a)和图3(b)所示,第I沟槽栅201、第II沟槽栅202以及第III沟槽栅207形成于衬底300的内部,该三个沟槽栅201、202和207均包括填充在沟槽内的多晶硅301,并且多晶硅301与衬底300之间通过绝缘层302隔离,所述绝缘层302可以为二氧化硅材料。3(a) and 3(b), the first trench gate 201, the second trench gate 202 and the third trench gate 207 are formed inside the substrate 300, and the three trench gates 201 , 202 and 207 all include polysilicon 301 filled in the trench, and the polysilicon 301 is isolated from the substrate 300 by an insulating layer 302, and the insulating layer 302 may be a silicon dioxide material.

为了芯片的制备工艺在实现上更加简便,优选第I沟槽栅、第II沟槽栅和第III沟槽栅的沟槽具有相同的沟槽深度和沟槽宽度。In order to make the fabrication process of the chip easier to implement, it is preferable that the trenches of the first trench gate, the second trench gate and the third trench gate have the same trench depth and trench width.

另外,在本发明实施例中,如图3(a)和图3(b)所示,P型区域203与P-基区206的掺杂浓度和结深优选相同。In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3(a) and FIG. 3(b), the doping concentration and junction depth of the P-type region 203 and the P-base region 206 are preferably the same.

需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,第III沟槽栅207的栅长所在的直线与第II沟槽栅202的栅长所在的直线优选垂直相交。另外,在本发明实施例中,第III沟槽栅207的栅长所在的直线与第II沟槽栅202的栅长所在的直线相交,并不意味着第III沟槽栅207与第II沟槽栅202是相互连接在一起的。实际上,在本发明实施例中,第III沟槽栅207与第II沟槽栅202可以相互连接在一起,也可以不连接在一起。当第II沟槽栅202均为多个时,第III沟槽栅207可以选择性地与部分第II沟槽栅202连接。It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the straight line where the gate length of the third trench gate 207 and the straight line where the gate length of the second trench gate 202 is located are preferably vertically intersected. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the straight line where the gate length of the third trench gate 207 intersects the line where the gate length of the second trench gate 202 intersects, which does not mean that the third trench gate 207 and the second trench gate The slot grids 202 are interconnected. Actually, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third trench gate 207 and the second trench gate 202 may or may not be connected together. When there are multiple II trench gates 202 , the III trench gates 207 may be selectively connected to part of the II trench gates 202 .

另外,为了增强P型区域203内的空穴在芯片处于导通状态时的电导调制效应,用于隔离沟槽栅的P型区域203优选处于悬浮状态。即:P型区域203没有被引出到芯片表面,也没有进行接地处理,在电气连接上,P型区域203处于悬浮状态。In addition, in order to enhance the conductance modulation effect of holes in the P-type region 203 when the chip is in the on state, the P-type region 203 used to isolate the trench gate is preferably in a floating state. That is, the P-type region 203 is not drawn out to the chip surface, and is not grounded, and the P-type region 203 is in a floating state in terms of electrical connection.

上述实施例所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的结构是以一个第II沟槽栅和一个第III沟槽栅为例进行说明的。实际上,为了增加元胞结构的沟槽密度,第II沟槽栅和第III沟槽栅均可以为多个。具体参见实施例二。The structure of the trench gate IGBT chip described in the above embodiments is described by taking one II trench gate and one III trench gate as examples. Actually, in order to increase the trench density of the cell structure, there can be multiple trench gates II and trench gate III. Refer to Embodiment 2 for details.

实施例二Embodiment two

实施例二所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的元胞结构与实施例一所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的元胞结构有诸多相似之处,为了简要起见,本实施例仅对其不同之处进行着重说明。The cellular structure of the trench gate IGBT chip described in Embodiment 2 has many similarities with the cellular structure of the trench gate IGBT chip described in Embodiment 1. For the sake of brevity, this embodiment only has the differences Make an emphatic explanation.

图4是本发明实施例二提供的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的半元胞结构的平面示意图,图5(a)是图4所示的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的半元胞结构的沿x-x’方向的剖面示意图,图5(b)是图4所示的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的半元胞结构的沿y-y’方向的剖面示意图。Fig. 4 is a schematic plan view of the half-cell structure of the trench gate IGBT chip provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and Fig. 5(a) is the half-cell structure of the trench gate IGBT chip shown in Fig. 4 along x-x 'direction schematic cross-section, Figure 5 (b) is shown in Figure 4 trench gate IGBT chip half-cell structure along the y-y' direction cross-sectional schematic.

如图4所示,实施例二所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的半元胞结构包括3个第II沟槽栅202和4个第III沟槽栅207,所述第II沟槽栅202分别为第II-1沟槽栅2021、第II-2沟槽栅2022、第II-3沟槽栅2023。所述第III沟槽栅207分别为第III-1沟槽栅2071、第III-2沟槽栅2072、第III-3沟槽栅2073、第III-4沟槽栅2074。在本发明实施例一中,每相邻两个第II沟槽栅之间的间距d1优选相同,每相邻两个第III沟槽栅之间的间距d2也优选相同。进一步地,每相邻两个第II沟槽栅之间的间距d1与每相邻两个第III沟槽栅之间的间距d2也优选相同,这种结构能够在最小线宽的工艺下,使得沟槽栅的密度达到最大。因而,有利于降低芯片的导通电阻,提高芯片的耐压性能。As shown in FIG. 4 , the half-cell structure of the trench gate IGBT chip described in the second embodiment includes three II trench gates 202 and four III trench gates 207, and the II trench gates 202 are respectively These are the II-1 trench gate 2021 , the II-2 trench gate 2022 , and the II-3 trench gate 2023 . The III-th trench gates 207 are respectively the III-1st trench gate 2071 , the III-2th trench gate 2072 , the III-3rd trench gate 2073 , and the III-4th trench gate 2074 . In Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the distance d1 between every two adjacent trench gates II is preferably the same, and the distance d2 between every two adjacent trench gates III is also preferably the same. Further, the distance d1 between every two adjacent trench gates II and the distance d2 between every two adjacent trench gates III are preferably the same, and this structure can be used in the minimum line width process, The density of the trench gate is maximized. Therefore, it is beneficial to reduce the on-resistance of the chip and improve the withstand voltage performance of the chip.

为使芯片的制备工艺实现上更加简便,优选第I沟槽栅、第II沟槽栅和第III沟槽栅的沟槽具有相同的沟槽深度和沟槽宽度。并且进一步优选地,任意两个相邻的第II沟槽栅、任意两个相邻的第III沟槽栅之间的间距相等。这是因为,这样可以使得每个沟槽都处于相同的刻蚀气氛下,因此,工艺的一致性很好。如各个沟槽的槽壁的形状、各个沟槽的槽底的弧度基本一致。In order to make the fabrication process of the chip more convenient, it is preferable that the trenches of the first trench gate, the second trench gate and the third trench gate have the same trench depth and trench width. And further preferably, the distance between any two adjacent trench gates II and any two adjacent trench gates III is equal. This is because, in this way, each trench can be under the same etching atmosphere, so the consistency of the process is very good. For example, the shape of the groove wall of each groove and the radian of the groove bottom of each groove are basically the same.

在本发明实施例中,优选任意一个第III沟槽栅207均与至少两个第II沟槽栅202连接。在图4所示的平面结构中,任意一个第III沟槽栅207与三个第II沟槽栅202均相连,从而实现第III沟槽栅207与第II沟槽栅202的互连。In the embodiment of the present invention, preferably, any third trench gate 207 is connected to at least two trench gates 202 II. In the planar structure shown in FIG. 4 , any III trench gate 207 is connected to three II trench gates 202 , so that the interconnection between the III trench gate 207 and the II trench gate 202 is realized.

需要说明的是,当IGBT芯片上没有设置第III沟槽栅207时,用于隔离第II沟槽栅202的P型区域203为一整体区域,但是当IGBT芯片上设置了与第II沟槽栅202相互连接的第III沟槽栅207以后,第II沟槽栅202和第III沟槽栅207构成了虚栅的网状结构。图6示出了具有第II沟槽栅和第III沟槽栅的IGBT芯片的一个元胞结构的平面示意图。从图6中可以看出,在第II沟槽栅202和第III沟槽栅207构成虚栅的网状结构后,P型区域203就被分割成若干个相互隔离的P型子区域。很容易理解,相邻P型子区域之间通过第II沟槽栅202和第III沟槽栅207实现相互隔离。也就是说,每个P型子区域被虚栅沟槽栅包围。It should be noted that when the third trench gate 207 is not provided on the IGBT chip, the P-type region 203 used to isolate the second trench gate 202 is an entire area, but when the IGBT chip is provided with the second trench gate 207 After the third trench gate 207 where the gates 202 are connected to each other, the second trench gate 202 and the third trench gate 207 form a network structure of dummy gates. FIG. 6 shows a schematic plan view of a cell structure of an IGBT chip with a trench gate II and a trench gate III. It can be seen from FIG. 6 that after the second trench gate 202 and the third trench gate 207 form a network structure of dummy gates, the P-type region 203 is divided into several isolated P-type sub-regions. It is easy to understand that adjacent P-type sub-regions are isolated from each other by the II trench gate 202 and the III trench gate 207 . That is, each P-type sub-region is surrounded by dummy gates and trench gates.

当所有各个P型子区域处于悬浮状态时,在芯片导通时,能够形成更强的空穴阻挡效应。具体理由如下:When all the P-type sub-regions are in the floating state, a stronger hole blocking effect can be formed when the chip is turned on. The specific reasons are as follows:

图7是IGBT芯片导通时空穴和电子在两个相邻元胞的发射极之间的流向示意图。从图6中可以看出,在芯片导通时,从背部注入的空穴与从沟道注入的电子在N-基区汇合,形成电导调制,降低导通电阻。电子-空穴对的浓度越大,电导调制越强烈。从空穴的运动路径可知,它是曲线,需要绕过沟槽栅才能被抽取出去,正是这个“绕”的过程(空穴阻挡),造成了空穴在芯片正面表面附近处堆积,即提高了芯片正面表面处的空穴浓度,而为了维持电荷平衡,则有更多的电子从沟道注入,因此就增强了电导调制。如果在两个元胞的发射极与发射极之间有多个虚栅,那么空穴的运动路线就需要绕过多个虚栅,再绕过常规栅极,才能被抽取,因此一路上就能够积累更多的空穴了,因此说虚栅可以增强电导调制。而且虚栅沟槽密度越大,电导调制越强。Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the flow of holes and electrons between the emitters of two adjacent cells when the IGBT chip is turned on. It can be seen from Figure 6 that when the chip is turned on, the holes injected from the back and the electrons injected from the channel merge in the N-base region to form conductance modulation and reduce the on-resistance. The greater the concentration of electron-hole pairs, the stronger the conductance modulation. From the movement path of holes, it can be seen that it is a curve, and it needs to bypass the trench gate to be extracted. It is this "wrapping" process (hole blocking) that causes holes to accumulate near the front surface of the chip, that is The hole concentration at the front surface of the chip is increased, and in order to maintain the charge balance, more electrons are injected from the channel, thus enhancing the conductance modulation. If there are multiple dummy gates between the emitters of the two cells, the movement route of the holes needs to bypass multiple dummy grids and then the conventional grids to be extracted. More holes can be accumulated, so the virtual gate can enhance the conductance modulation. Moreover, the greater the dummy gate trench density, the stronger the conductance modulation.

另外,当所有各个P型子区域处于悬浮状态时,能够加速IGBT芯片在反向耐压时的电子耗尽,因此能够提高芯片的耐压性能。这是因为:虚栅结构能够降低悬浮P型子区域的电场强度。当IGBT芯片内设置有虚栅结构时,常规栅极底部的电场集中现象会得到缓解,因而有利于改善芯片的耐压性能。并且设置的虚栅密度越大,耐压性能的提高越明显。In addition, when all the P-type sub-regions are in the floating state, the electron depletion of the IGBT chip in reverse withstand voltage can be accelerated, so the withstand voltage performance of the chip can be improved. This is because: the dummy gate structure can reduce the electric field intensity of the suspended P-type sub-region. When the dummy gate structure is arranged in the IGBT chip, the electric field concentration phenomenon at the bottom of the conventional gate will be alleviated, thus helping to improve the withstand voltage performance of the chip. And the greater the density of the set dummy gate, the more obvious the improvement of the withstand voltage performance.

需要说明的是,上述实施例二所述的IGBT芯片中包括3个第II沟槽栅和4个第III沟槽栅,实际上,上述实施例仅是本发明实施例的一个示例,不应理解为对本发明实施例的限制。实际上,包括n(n≥1,n为整数)个第II沟槽栅和m(m≥1,m为整数)个第III沟槽栅的IGBT芯片均在本发明的保护范围内。It should be noted that the IGBT chip described in the second embodiment above includes 3 trench gates II and 4 trench gates III. In fact, the above embodiment is only an example of the embodiment of the present invention, and should not It should be understood as a limitation to the embodiments of the present invention. In fact, IGBT chips including n (n≥1, n is an integer) number II trench gates and m (m≥1, m is an integer) number III trench gates are within the protection scope of the present invention.

上述实施例二所述的IGBT芯片中P型区域203被分割成若干个相互隔离的P型子区域,并且这些P型子区域均处于悬浮状态。在芯片导通时,能够增强电导调制效应,降低导通电阻,但是在芯片关断时,注入到沟道内的大量空穴增加了抽取时间,降低了关断速度,增加了关断损耗,影响了芯片的安全工作区性能。为了克服上述缺陷,本发明还提供了实施例三。The P-type region 203 in the IGBT chip described in the second embodiment above is divided into several mutually isolated P-type sub-regions, and these P-type sub-regions are all in a floating state. When the chip is turned on, it can enhance the conductance modulation effect and reduce the on-resistance, but when the chip is turned off, a large number of holes injected into the channel increase the extraction time, reduce the turn-off speed, increase the turn-off loss, and affect The safe operating area performance of the chip is guaranteed. In order to overcome the above defects, the present invention also provides a third embodiment.

实施例三Embodiment three

由于P型子区域处于悬浮状态时会降低关断速度,增加关断损耗,影响芯片的安全工作区性能。所以,需要将P型子区域引出到芯片表面实现电气上的接地连接。但是,当虚栅沟槽栅形成网状结构后,被分割形成的每个P型子区域相互隔离,如果将每个P型子区域均实现电气的接地连接,按照传统方法,需要在每个悬浮P型子区域上都设置一个将P型子区域引出到芯片表面的引出窗口,这样就会导致在设备和工艺水平的限制下,会因为引出窗口的存在导致单位面积内的沟槽数量减少,即降低沟槽密度,从而不利于降低芯片的导通电阻。When the P-type sub-region is in a floating state, the turn-off speed will be reduced, and the turn-off loss will be increased, which will affect the performance of the safe working area of the chip. Therefore, it is necessary to lead out the P-type sub-region to the surface of the chip to realize an electrical ground connection. However, when the dummy gate trench gate forms a network structure, each P-type sub-region formed by division is isolated from each other. If each P-type sub-region is electrically connected to ground, according to the traditional method, it is necessary to connect each P-type sub-region to the ground. A lead-out window for leading the P-type sub-region to the chip surface is set on the suspended P-type sub-region, which will lead to a reduction in the number of grooves per unit area due to the existence of the lead-out window under the limitation of equipment and process level , that is, reducing the trench density, which is not conducive to reducing the on-resistance of the chip.

为了能够不降低实施例二所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的沟槽密度,本发明实施例三提供了一种沟槽栅IGBT芯片的新结构。In order not to reduce the trench density of the trench gate IGBT chip described in the second embodiment, the third embodiment of the present invention provides a new structure of the trench gate IGBT chip.

实施例三所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片与实施例二所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片有诸多相似之处,为了简要起见,本实施例仅对其不同之处进行着重说明。相似之处请参见实施例二的描述。The trench gate IGBT chip described in Embodiment 3 has many similarities with the trench gate IGBT chip described in Embodiment 2. For the sake of brevity, this embodiment only focuses on the differences. For similarities, please refer to the description of Embodiment 2.

在本发明实施例中,由第II沟槽栅202和第III沟槽栅207相互连接构成的虚栅结构为网状结构。需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,第III沟槽栅207并不与其栅长方向的所有第II沟槽栅202均相互连接在一起,而是选择地与部分第II沟槽栅202连接在一起。实施例三所述的沟槽栅IGBT芯片的元胞结构的平面图和剖面图与实施例二所述的IGBT芯片的元胞结构的平面图和剖面图基本相同,为了简要起见,本实施例不再详细描述其平面图和剖面图,具体请参见实施例二的附图。In the embodiment of the present invention, the dummy gate structure formed by connecting the second trench gate 202 and the third trench gate 207 to each other is a mesh structure. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the III trench gate 207 is not connected to all the II trench gates 202 in the gate length direction, but is selectively connected to part of the II trench gate 202 connected together. The plan view and sectional view of the cell structure of the trench gate IGBT chip described in Embodiment 3 are basically the same as the plan view and sectional view of the cell structure of the IGBT chip described in Embodiment 2. For the sake of brevity, this embodiment will not For a detailed description of its plan view and section view, please refer to the accompanying drawings of Embodiment 2 for details.

为了更加清楚地理解本发明实施例中的网状结构的虚栅结构,下面将虚栅结构简化为如图8所示的结构。在图8所示的虚栅结构中,每条直线表示一个沟槽栅,水平方向的直线为第III沟槽栅,竖直方向的直线为第II沟槽栅,每条直线的延伸方向对应沟槽的栅长方向。从图8可以看出,表示第III沟槽栅的直线与表示第II沟槽栅的直线相交时形成了多个交点,这些交点为第III沟槽栅与第II沟槽栅的交汇处。在图8中,直线之间的空白区域为IGBT芯片上的P型区域203,其被第III沟槽栅分割成若干个P型子区域。In order to understand more clearly the dummy gate structure of the mesh structure in the embodiment of the present invention, the dummy gate structure is simplified as shown in FIG. 8 below. In the virtual gate structure shown in Figure 8, each straight line represents a trench gate, the straight line in the horizontal direction is the third trench gate, the straight line in the vertical direction is the second trench gate, and the extension direction of each straight line corresponds to The gate length direction of the trench. It can be seen from FIG. 8 that when the straight line representing the third trench gate intersects with the straight line representing the second trench gate, multiple intersections are formed, and these intersections are the junctions of the third trench gate and the second trench gate. In FIG. 8 , the blank area between the straight lines is the P-type region 203 on the IGBT chip, which is divided into several P-type sub-regions by the third trench gate.

需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,形成的这些交汇处包括第一交汇处和第二交汇处,在第一交汇处,第III沟槽栅和第II沟槽栅相互连接在一起,为实交汇处,而在第二交汇处,第III沟槽栅与第II沟槽栅相互隔离不连接在一起,为虚交汇处。在图8所示的结构中,用三角形标出的交汇处为第二交汇处,没有用三角形标出的交汇处为第一交汇处。It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the junctions formed include a first junction and a second junction, and at the first junction, the third trench gate and the second trench gate are connected together, It is a real junction, and at the second junction, the third trench gate and the second trench gate are isolated from each other and not connected together, which is a virtual junction. In the structure shown in FIG. 8 , the junction marked with a triangle is the second junction, and the junction not marked with a triangle is the first junction.

在本发明实施例中,图8所示的第一交汇处I1的局部放大图如图9(1)所示,第二交汇处I2的局部放大图如图9(2)所示。In the embodiment of the present invention, a partial enlarged view of the first intersection I1 shown in FIG. 8 is shown in FIG. 9(1), and a partial enlarged view of the second intersection I2 is shown in FIG. 9(2).

在图9(1)中,第III沟槽栅和第II沟槽栅相互连接在一起,在该第一交汇处周边的四个P型子区域a、b、c、d相互隔离。这四个P型子区域相互独立。In FIG. 9(1), the third trench gate and the second trench gate are connected together, and the four P-type sub-regions a, b, c, and d around the first junction are isolated from each other. These four P-type subregions are independent of each other.

在图9(2)所示的第二交汇处的位置,第III沟槽栅和第II沟槽栅没有连接在一起,该第二交汇处周边的四个P型子区域a’、b’、c’、d’在第二交汇处连接在一起。也就是说,在第二交汇处,周边的四个P型子区域a’、b’、c’、d’形成了局部互连。为了将芯片内分割形成的所有P型子区域均实现电气的接地连接,在本发明实施例三中的IGBT芯片中,还包括:设置在第二交汇处的引出窗口w。该引出窗口w能够将其周边的P型子区域引出到芯片表面,实现电气的接地连接。At the position of the second junction shown in Figure 9 (2), the third trench gate and the second trench gate are not connected together, and the four P-type sub-regions a', b' around the second junction , c', d' are connected together at the second junction. That is to say, at the second intersection, the surrounding four P-type sub-regions a', b', c', d' form a local interconnection. In order to realize electrical ground connection for all the P-type sub-regions formed by division in the chip, the IGBT chip in Embodiment 3 of the present invention further includes: a lead-out window w arranged at the second junction. The lead-out window w can lead out the P-type sub-region around it to the surface of the chip to realize electrical grounding connection.

在第二交汇处,由于周边的四个P型子区域a’、b’、c’、d’形成了局部互连,所以,P型子区域a’、b’、c’、d’为一个整体P型区域,因此,设置在第二交汇处的引出窗口w能够将四个P型子区域a’、b’、c’、d’均引出到芯片表面。相较于现有技术中每一个P型子区域均需要一个引出窗口引出的方案,本发明实施例提供的IGBT芯片减少了引出窗口的数量,能够实现在不降低沟槽密度的情况下,将所有的P型子区域引出芯片表面。At the second intersection, since the four peripheral P-type sub-regions a', b', c', and d' form local interconnections, the P-type sub-regions a', b', c', and d' are An overall P-type region, therefore, the lead-out window w provided at the second junction can lead out the four P-type sub-regions a', b', c', d' to the chip surface. Compared with the solution in the prior art that each P-type sub-region requires a lead-out window, the IGBT chip provided by the embodiment of the present invention reduces the number of lead-out windows, and can achieve All P-type sub-regions lead out of the chip surface.

继续参见图9(2),设置在第二交汇处的引出窗口w与第II沟槽栅和第III沟槽栅不相连。Continuing to refer to FIG. 9(2), the lead-out window w provided at the second intersection is not connected to the II trench gate and the III trench gate.

为了方便描述,将第II沟槽栅和第III沟槽栅统称为虚栅,作为本发明的一个具体实施例,该引出窗口w边缘与虚栅沟槽栅的边缘的间距大于或等于虚栅沟槽的宽度。For the convenience of description, the trench gate II and the trench gate III are collectively referred to as dummy gates. As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the edge of the lead-out window w and the edge of the dummy gate trench gate is greater than or equal to that of the dummy gate. The width of the trench.

该引出窗口的形状可以为任意形状,当该引出窗口的形状为正方形时,该引出窗口w的边长为虚栅沟槽宽度的2-4倍。该引出窗口w内为高浓度P+掺杂,掺杂浓度大于5e19/cm3,以减小引出的接触电阻。在该引出窗口w的中心内设置开口w1,通过开口w1将邻近的悬浮P型子区域引出到芯片表面,方便接地处理。在本发明实施例中,设置的开口w1的大小为引出窗口w区域的50%~80%。The shape of the lead-out window can be any shape. When the shape of the lead-out window is square, the side length of the lead-out window w is 2-4 times the width of the dummy gate trench. The lead-out window w is doped with high-concentration P+, and the doping concentration is greater than 5e19/cm 3 , so as to reduce the lead-out contact resistance. An opening w1 is provided in the center of the lead-out window w, through which the adjacent suspended P-type sub-regions are led out to the chip surface to facilitate grounding. In the embodiment of the present invention, the size of the set opening w1 is 50%-80% of the area of the lead-out window w.

需要说明的是,第二交汇处可以为第II沟槽栅和第III沟槽栅相交时的任意一个交汇处。但是,为了能够采用尽可能少的引出窗口就能实现将所有的P型子区域均引出到芯片表面实现接地连接,在本发明实施例中,第二交汇处所处的位置能够使每四个近邻的P型子区域形成局部互连。进一步优选地,第二交汇处在芯片上的分布呈阵列分布,其中,阵列单元的形状为矩形或菱形。当在这种分布结构的第二交汇处设置引出窗口时,能够实现每四个相互近邻的P型子区域共用一个引出窗口。It should be noted that the second junction may be any junction where the second trench gate and the third trench gate intersect. However, in order to use as few lead-out windows as possible to lead all the P-type sub-regions to the chip surface for ground connection, in the embodiment of the present invention, the position of the second intersection can make every four neighbors The P-type sub-regions form local interconnects. Further preferably, the distribution of the second junctions on the chip is an array distribution, wherein the shape of the array unit is a rectangle or a rhombus. When the lead-out window is set at the second intersection of such a distribution structure, it can be realized that every four adjacent P-type sub-regions share one lead-out window.

当阵列单元的形状为矩形时,IGBT芯片的虚栅结构的平面示意图如图10(1)所示,此时,所述矩形的一边长为相邻两个所述第II沟槽栅之间的间距的2倍,另一边长为相邻两个所述第III沟槽栅之间的间距的2倍。进一步地,当相邻两个第II沟槽栅之间的间距等于相邻两个所述第III沟槽栅之间的间距时,阵列单元的形状为正方形。When the shape of the array unit is a rectangle, the schematic plan view of the dummy gate structure of the IGBT chip is shown in Figure 10 (1).
