In the present embodiment, as shown in figure 13, grid region 405 is ultimately formed, it can be seen that the grid region 405 is described convex Portion both sides are played, there is step part and horizontal component, the step part and the horizontal component to be structure as a whole in the grid region, The horizontal component in the grid region covers the drift region of the lug boss side, lug boss top described in the step part covering part Face, and the step part of the lug boss both sides is not attached in the lug boss top surface.
Step 104 is executed, the first conduction type doping is carried out to the lug boss top surface, forms well region, the well region Lateral length is more than the lateral length of the lug boss.
Specifically, carrying out the first conduction type doping to lug boss top layer openings part 404, well region 406 is formed.
Specifically, as shown in figure 14, in the present embodiment, first conduction type is p-type, to the lug boss top layer Opening portion carries out p type impurity injection, the propulsion of impurity is carried out, to form well region 406, i.e. p-well.
In the present embodiment, the p type impurity is boron, 10~200keV of Implantation Energy, dosage 5e11~1e15cm-2. When carrying out the propulsion of foreign ion, 800~1200 DEG C of temperature, 50~800min of time are promoted.
In other embodiments of the invention, the principle for considering saving processing step, can walk the propulsion in the application Suddenly it is merged with step 1034, that is, after executing step 1033, carry out step 104, in the progradation of step 104, lead to Enter oxygen, forms the gate oxide wrapped up on the upside of the grid.Later, the oxide layer formed opening portion by etching technics Removal.

Specifically, as shown in figure 15, the second conduction type doping, second conductive-type are carried out to the lug boss top surface The doping depth of type doping is equal to the height of the lug boss.
In the present embodiment, second conduction type is doped to n-type doping, injects phospha to the lug boss top surface Matter, 10~200keV of Implantation Energy, dosage 1e12~5e16cm-2.Later, impurity propulsion is carried out, temperature 800~1200 is promoted DEG C, 10~100min of time.
Step 106 is executed, the part that the lug boss is not covered by the grid region is etched, forms emitter region.
Specifically, as shown in figure 16, in this step, etching the part that the lug boss is not covered by the grid region, shape At emitter region 407.
Wherein, the etching depth of the etching is more than or equal to the height of the lug boss.In the present embodiment, the etching Depth is more than the height of the lug boss so that the emitter bottom surface subsequently formed between the emitter region is less than the well region Upper surface so that cut-off current reach emitter path it is shorter.
After executing step 106, in the present embodiment, can also include:
Step 200:First conduction type doping is carried out to the lug boss top surface, forms interior well region, the interior well region Lateral length is more than the lateral length of emitter, is less than the lateral length of the lug boss.
Specifically, as shown in figure 17, first conduction type is p-type, and implanted dopant can be boron.Implantation Energy 10~ 200keV, dosage 1e12~5e16cm-2.Promote 800~1200 DEG C of temperature, 50~800min of time.
P-type doping is carried out in interior well region, forms the interior well region that impurity doping concentration is more than the impurity doping concentration of well region The lateral length of 408, the i.e. areas P+, the interior well region is more than the open-topped lateral length of the lug boss, is less than the lug boss Lateral length.Since the ohmic contact characteristic in the areas P+ is better than well region 406 (p-well), good electrical contact can be formed;And And the conducting resistance that the areas P+ 408 are adulterated is smaller than the conducting resistance that p-well is adulterated, pressure drop of the electric current in the areas P+ will be lower when shutdown, So as to so that turn-off power loss is lower and more anti-latch-up.
Step 107 is executed, forms emitter between the emitter region, the emitter is electrically connected with the emitter region.
Specifically, as shown in figure 18, emitter is formed on the well region between the emitter region, by depositing operation, It is described to penetrate deposited metal on the well region between area, to form emitter 409.
It should be noted that should also include forming buffering area 410, collecting zone as shown in figure 19 in the present embodiment 411 and collector 412 process, which can be specific as follows:
Step 108, the doping of the second conduction type is carried out to semiconductor lower surface, forms buffering area 410.
Specifically, carrying out n-type doping in semiconductor lower surface, implanted dopant is phosphorus.10~200keV of Implantation Energy, dosage 1e12~5e16cm-2, promote 800~1200 DEG C of temperature, 50~800min of time.
Step 109, the doping of the first conduction type is carried out to semiconductor lower surface, forms collecting zone 411.
Specifically, carrying out p-type doping in semiconductor lower surface, implanted dopant is boron, 10~200keV of Implantation Energy, dosage 1e12~5e16cm-2, promote 800~1200 DEG C of temperature, 50~800min of time.
Step 110, metal deposit is carried out to semiconductor lower surface, forms collector 412.
Consider that the principle of saving processing step, this step can merge with step 107.Specifically, needing to execute step When 107, this step is skipped, until when this step, metal deposit is carried out, forms emitter and collector.
In addition, in other embodiments of the invention, the method can also be after step 102 or step 1033, half-and-half The upper surface of conductor structure carries out the doping of the second conduction type, outer well region is formed, specifically, passing through ion in the present embodiment Injection forms the N traps injection region of N-type impurity, to further promote the electric property of device.
Wherein, outer well region 501st area as shown in figure 20 that step 102 is formed, the outer well region such as Figure 21 formed after step 1033 Shown 601st area.
By increasing by one layer of outer well region in well region and the drift regions N-, it can be used as carrier accumulation layer, according to carrier Equilibrium principle, which will prevent and stores the hole launched from collecting zone P+ substrates, and then significantly drop Low on-state voltage drop, also, because VOID POSITIONS is close from emitter, once shutdown, and be pumped quickly, so to turn-off speed What influenced almost without.Therefore, which can be lost lower than traditional IGBT, and on-state voltage drop and pass has been better achieved The compromise of breakdown consumption.
Since in the present embodiment IGBT device, the top surface of the emitter region is higher by the upper surface of the semiconductor structure, from And the end in the grid region of covering emitter region side is raised so that the endpoint of grid region step part is the end in grid region.And grid region The endpoint of step part is located at the top surface of the emitter region, so as to be detached with well region, avoids grid region end " beak " knot Influence of the structure to device threshold voltage.Simultaneously as cut-off current surrounds the edge of emitter region, the hair in the path of well region position The bottom surface for penetrating area is 0~1 μm at a distance from the upper surface of the semiconductor structure, so as to shorten cut-off current on the road of well region Diameter reduces loss, and avoids latch-up to the greatest extent.
Also, in the present embodiment, lug boss top surface carry out well region propulsion, compared with manufacture craft compare, Under same impurity implantation dosage, the p type impurity doping concentration below the grid oxygen in the present embodiment is by slightly higher (because impurity is not required to Be diffused into the region for carving the silicon fallen), therefore to ensure same threshold voltage, need to reduce p-well implantation dosage, to formed compared with Short well region diffusion length.What well region diffusion length shortened can make conducting channel shorten, and to reduce channel resistance, reduction is led Logical pressure drop, makes conduction loss reduce.
