Background technology
In power electronics, switching power circuit and various motor-drive circuit, the highest operating frequency will be big
The volume of amplitude reduction passive device therein (inductance and electric capacity) and power attenuation above thereof, but big to what circuit used
Switch diode proposes shorter reverse recovery time, the requirement of lower switching loss.At present, should in these circuit
Recover and Ultrafast recovery diode with most the fast of PIN structural that remain.But common PIN diode does not possess reverse soft extensive
Multiple characteristic, there will be big reversed peak restoring current and peak-inverse voltage, makes the damage of translation circuit in reversely restoring process
Consumption and electromagnetic interference (EMI) increase, and the steady operation of diode and main switching device are caused threat simultaneously.Selection has
The high-voltage fast recovery of soft recovery characteristics can significantly reduce these adverse effects;For high back-pressure fast recovery diode to
Obtain soft fast characteristic, when it is critical only that control forward conduction, be stored in the excess carrier in PIN diode drift region (N-district)
Distribution, if it is low to obtain the carrier concentration of distribution at the P+N-knot, and the concentration at N+N-knot is high
" inverted trapezoidal " is distributed, it will obtain the bigger soft recovery factor, softer recovery characteristics.Combine PIN diode and Schottky
PIN/ Schottky compound diode (MPS) diode of diode advantage has faster, softer reverse recovery characteristic, such as the U.S.
Patent US7, the characteristic described by 071,525 B2.Structure as shown in Figure 1, this structure can promote soft recovery characteristics, if but
Reach faster recovery characteristics, it is necessary to increase P+ and tie spacing, can cause the shielding action of schottky junction is weakened, reverse leakage current
Increase;P+ knot spacing is little, then the carrier being injected into drift region is too much, reduces speed.The most extensive simultaneously for high-power high voltage
The lifting of multiple diode reverse snowslide surge capacity, the terminal protection of chip is most important, and the potential dividing ring structure generally used is deposited
The low shortcoming of ability at generation dynamic current silk, varying doping terminal extension technology (VLD) is demonstrated to be effectively improved avalanche resistance and hits
Wear ability, but manufacture process need to increase low concentration p type impurity and inject, and adds work step, for the problems referred to above, the invention provides
A kind of soft fast recovery diode of polyhybird structure and preparation method thereof, the method uses Schottky mixing high-concentration and low-concentration PN junction knot
Structure, and synchronize to manufacture varying doping plane terminal (VLD) protection, improve breakdown voltage and Surge handling capability, when reducing recovery

Summary of the invention
Present invention compartment of terrain arrangement on N-/N/N+ type silicon chip produces the P+/N-knot of high concentration, schottky junction, low dense
The P-/N-knot of degree, schottky junction structure, by increasing P-/N-structure, reduce hole injection efficiency, when reducing Reverse recovery
Between, avoid again Schottky junction barrier height reduction shortcoming, reach the comprehensive of soft fast recovery and Low dark curient;With P-/N-knot shape simultaneously
Become VLD terminal structure to ensure that high voltage and high Surge handling capability, simplify again manufacturing process, reduce cost.
For the fast recovery diode of MPS structure, it is that PIN diode and Schottky diode junction are combined, such as Fig. 1
Shown in, compartment of terrain arrangement P+ knot and schottky junction, Schottky junction barrier height is low, is first begin to conducting, when low current density,
Conduction voltage drop is little, and recovery time is fast;But when high current density, conduction voltage drop causes conduction voltage drop owing to drift zone resistance is big
Greatly, far above PIN structural diode, losing ground, when reverse, along with voltage increases, image force reason makes reverse leakage
Becoming big, power consumption increases;Adding the PIN diode of P+ knot, during forward conduction, under low current density, schottky junction first turns on,
Conduction voltage drop is low, and when high current density, the pressure drop that P+ forges is higher than the potential barrier of PN junction, and during such as 0.7V, PN junction turns on, P+ knot to
Injection hole, drift region, drift zone resistance diminishes through the modulation in hole, makes overall pressure drop diminish.Time reversely, owing to P+ ties
Extension, can be formed below shielding at schottky junction, it is to avoid Schottky barrier reduces the leakage current caused and increases.At Reverse recovery
Time, schottky junction provides leakage path, it is possible to quickly take excess carriers away, forms soft fast recovery characteristics.But P+ junction area
There is a trade-off relation with schottky junction area, if schottky junction area is excessive, time reverse, the shielding action of P+ weakens, electric leakage
Stream increases, and forward voltage drop becomes big;If schottky junction area is too small, i.e. P+ knot spacing is narrow, is injected into the surplus of drift region during forward
Carrier increases, and becomes reverse recovery time big.
It is illustrated in figure 2 the new structure of present invention design.At (P+/N-knot)+(schottky junction)+(P+/N-knot)
On architecture basics, add P-/N-and tie, formation (P+/N-knot)+(schottky junction)+(P-/N-knot)+(schottky junction)+
(P+/N-knot) structure.During forward conduction, under low current density, schottky junction first turns on, then P-/N-conducting, due to P-
Knot concentration is low, is injected into drift region (N-district) carrier few, and recovery time can be fast, and conduction voltage drop keeps low-level.At big electric current
During density, when the pressure drop that P+ forges is higher than the potential barrier of PN junction, P+N-ties conducting, and P+ knot injects a large amount of holes, drift to drift region
District's resistance diminishes through the modulation in hole, makes overall pressure drop diminish.Time reversely, owing to P+ knot and P-knot all extend, at Xiao Te
Base junction is formed below shielding, it is to avoid Schottky barrier reduces the leakage current caused and increases.When Reverse recovery, schottky junction carries
Supply leakage path, can quickly take excess carriers away, form soft fast recovery characteristics.
Generally fast recovery diode is in use, is not used under nominal high current density, such as 10 ampere power diodes,
Normally it is used only in 2 amperes, only just applies under big electric current when there being surge impact.If accomplishing when normally using, only
Schottky junction and P-knot conducting, and P+ knot does not turns on, speed can be faster.The concentration of design P+ and P-and the spacing of P+ to P-
Most important.
Chip protection terminal structure can use the structures such as field plate, potential dividing ring, JTE, VLD, as used VLD structure, terminal
Shi He P-district in the present invention of adulterating is carried out simultaneously, as it is shown on figure 3, then decrease work step, reduces cost.
The concentration in P-district is the lowest, but cannot be below 1E12/cm2, in conjunction with the requirement of VLD terminal, the present invention sets
P-district concentration at 5E12~5E13/cm2, the concentration in P+ district is the denseest, it is ensured that P+/N knot conducting in evening, the present invention is set as
P+ district concentration is more than 1E14/cm2;P+ and P-district limit spacing 5~35um.
The silicon chip of extension or diffusion can use multiple structure, such as N+/N/N-layer, helpful to soft recovery characteristics.
The preparation method of the soft fast recovery diode of high pressure of the present invention, its step includes: N-type epitaxial wafer (or diffusion sheet) is raw
Long field oxide SiO2--photoetching P-district injects light boron knot photoetching P+ district and injects dense boron knot photoetching active area--

Belonging to, described P-district concentration is at 5E12~5E13/cm2, P+ district concentration is more than 1E14/cm2;P+ and P-district limit spacing 5~
35um。
The fast recovery characteristics that beneficial effect (1) is manufactured by this scheme reduces more than 15% reverse recovery time, and softness is also
Being increased slightly, leakage current keeps consistent, and conduction voltage drop is bigger, but in tolerance interval;(2) the VLD terminal that the present invention uses
Protection structure, owing to completing with P-district simultaneously, decreases work step, reduces cost.
