Description

SiC double-groove MOSFET device integrated with Schottky diode and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to a SiC double-groove MOSFET device integrated with a Schottky diode and a preparation method thereof.
Background
SiC U-channel mosfets (umosfets) have many advantages, such as the p-base region can be formed by epitaxial growth, eliminating the effects of defects when the p-base region is formed by ion implantation, better MOS gate quality and channel mobility, and easier control of channel length. In addition, the cell structure (the basic unit forming the active region of the device) of the trench MOSFET can be smaller, the current density is higher, particularly for the expensive price of SiC materials, and the chip cost can be obviously reduced. However, the UMOSFET has the problem that the electric field at the bottom of the trench is concentrated, so that the reliability of the gate dielectric is poor. As shown in fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a conventional n-channel UMOSFET cell structure, in the off state, a high voltage applied to the drain acts on the drift layer, the point a at the bottom of the trench is where the electric field is most concentrated, and the electric field strength in the dielectric is 2-3 times that in SiC, resulting in the gate dielectric at the bottom of the trench being easily broken down and having poor reliability.
On the other hand, in many applications, such as full-bridge application, the transistor needs to be connected with a freewheeling diode in an anti-parallel mode to work together, and as a currently common silicon IGBT module, a silicon fast recovery diode is connected in an anti-parallel mode to serve as the freewheeling diode. If the free wheel diode is integrated in one device, the integration level and the reliability of the chip are improved, and the cost of the chip is effectively reduced.

Detailed Description
The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
As shown in fig. 2, the invention provides a SiC double-trench MOSFET device integrated with a schottky diode, wherein a cell structure of an active region of the SiC double-trench MOSFET device sequentially comprises a drain electrode, an n + substrate, a buffer layer, an n-drift layer, a p-base region and an n + + layer from bottom to top; two grooves are arranged in the cell structure, namely a grid groove arranged in the center of the cell structure and a source groove arranged on the periphery of the grid groove; the periphery of the bottom of the gate trench and the periphery of the bottom of the source trench are doped with the conductivity type opposite to that of the drift region, so that on one hand, the electric fields at the bottoms of the gate trench and the source trench can be shielded together with the doping at the bottom of the gate trench, the concentration of the electric fields is reduced, and the reliability is provided; on the other hand, the embedded pn diode part also used as an integrated Schottky diode has high surge resistance; a Schottky contact is arranged in the central area of the bottom of the source groove to form a Schottky diode electrically communicated with the source electrode; forming ohmic contact in the periphery of the bottom of the source trench and the doped region with the opposite conductivity type of the drift region; the depth of the two grooves is larger than that of the p base region; the depth of the gate trench and the depth of the source trench may be the same or different, and preferably, the depth of the gate trench and the depth of the source trench are the same, so that the gate trench and the source trench can be formed simultaneously by one-step etching in the device manufacturing process.
The p + region under the gate trench is floating, i.e., not in electrical communication with the source, in one embodiment of the invention. In another embodiment of the invention, the p + region under the gate trench is in electrical communication with the source and the p-base regions, and since the gate trench is in communication, sidewall implantation is also performed through a portion of the region of the gate trench to complete electrical communication between the p + and p-base regions and thus the source, while the gate in that portion of the region is no longer functional.
The base region layer (for an n-type MOSFET, the p-base region layer is the same as the p-type MOSFET) of the device is formed by epitaxial growth, so that the device has very good material quality and very accurate thickness and doping concentration, and is beneficial to manufacturing a high-quality MOS gate structure. The doping concentration is 1E15-5E17cm-3And designing according to the threshold voltage. The base layer thickness is greater than 0.2 μm, preferably between 0.2-3 μm, too thin to punch through easily and too thick to increase the channel length and resistance.
An n + + layer on the p base region is used as a source electrode conductive layer, and the doping concentration is more than 1E19cm-3And a thickness of more than 0.2 μm, preferably between 0.2 and 2 μm. Ohmic contacts with too thin a thickness are easily pierced and too thick increases the on-resistance and the depth and difficulty of etching the trench.
And the n-layer below the p base region is used as a voltage-resistant drift layer of the device, the doping concentration and the thickness of the n-layer are determined according to the voltage resistance of the device design, and the n-layer is optimally designed by minimizing the on-resistance under a certain voltage resistance. For example, for a 1200V device, the concentration may be 5-8E15cm-3The thickness may be 10-15 μm. The doping concentration in the region below the p-base region and between the doping depths of the trench bottom may also be slightly higher than that of the drift layer, e.g. may be 1E16-1E17cm-3The main purpose of the method is to reduce diffusion of electrons to all directions of the drift layer after passing through the channel and reduce on-resistance. The doping concentration of the n + substrate is greater than 1E18cm-3
The p-type doped region at the bottom of the trench is electrically communicated with the p-base region layer through the doping of the side wall of the source trench, so that the source electrode is also electrically communicated with the p-base region at the same time, and a parasitic npn structure is avoided. The p doping around the bottom of the source groove is a high-concentration p-type area, which is beneficial to forming ohmic contact with metal and is connected with the Schottky contact at the center, so that the Schottky diode embedded into the pn diode is formed together.
As shown in fig. 3, wherein the cross-sectional structure of AA' is schematically shown in fig. 1. The plane structure of the primitive cell can be in various forms such as rectangle, strip, hexagon and the like. The simple parallel arrangement of the primitive cells forms the active region of a device, and the arrangement mode can be simple arrangement, and can also be in the forms of close arrangement, atomic structure arrangement and the like. Meanwhile, the whole device consists of an active region, a junction terminal region and a scribing groove region, metal extraction is carried out on the grid and the source of each cell on the active region respectively, corresponding briquetting metal is made, and subsequent packaging application of the device is facilitated. This is well known to the engineers in the industry and is not shown on the schematic.
As shown in fig. 4, the MOSFET and the schottky diode form an anti-parallel circuit structure, which realizes integration in one chip. The power density and reliability of the device can be effectively increased, and the volume and cost of the packaged module or system can be reduced.
The n-type doping and the p-type doping referred to in the present invention are relative terms, and may also be referred to as a first doping and a second doping, i.e., the interchanging of n-type and p-type is equally applicable to the device.
The device structure of the invention is not only suitable for SiC, but also suitable for Si, GaN and Ga2O3And the like, but the preparation method is different.
The SiC MOSFET structure can be used for other MOS-controlled transistor structures, such as IGBT. There are related structures and principles in the structural part of MOS control.
The invention also provides a method for preparing the SiC double-groove type MOSFET device of the integrated Schottky diode, and the method is explained in detail by taking an n-type (n-channel) SiC MOSFET as an example.
As shown in FIG. 5, the substrate (or referred to as a base plate) is a highly doped, low resistance n + layer with a concentration greater than 1E18cm-3. The concentration of the buffer layer was approximately 1E18cm-3Approximately 1-2 μm thick, the purpose of the buffer layer being to reduce the lattice mismatch between the substrate and the epitaxial layer, while terminating part of the defects of the substrate in the buffer layer and avoiding the defects extending to the drift layer. The concentration of the drift layer is 1E14-1E17cm-3The thickness is larger than 5 μm, the device voltage-resistant function is born, and the concentration and the thickness are determined according to the rated voltage-resistant optimized design of the device. A p-base region layer with a concentration of 1E15-5E17cm is arranged on the drift region-3The thickness is more than 0.2 μm, preferably 0.2-2 μm. In another embodiment, a JFET layer is arranged between the n-drift region and the p-base region and has the concentration of less than 1E18cm-3And the thickness is approximately equal to the distance from the p base region to the junction depth of the p + region under the gate, so that the on-resistance between JFET regions is reduced. An n + region is arranged above the p base region and has a doping concentration greater than 1E19cm-3And the thickness is more than 0.2 mu m.
As shown in fig. 6, a first mask is patterned on the SiC surface.

And the junction termination region and the scribe region are etched. The depth of the trench is slightly deeper than the sum of the thicknesses of the n + + region and the p-base region, typically between 1-4 μm, depending on the breakdown voltage and on-resistance of the device being designed. The width of the gate trench is preferably between 0.5-2 μm and the width of the source trench is preferably between 2.5-10 μm. By SiO2The SiC selection ratio of mask etching can be more than 3, so most SiO will remain after etching2And the mask is used as a blocking mask for the next ion implantation. In addition, SiO is used2The mask etching SiC can obtain the effect of a groove with low defect and U-shaped bottom, and is beneficial to the reliability of the device.
As shown in fig. 7, a second mask is applied as a mask for a subsequent implantation. The mask protects the middle schottky region and the gate trench within the source trench. The width of the middle schottky region is typically 1.5-8 μm. The mask may be a photoresist, a dielectric, or the like, and preferably may be a photoresist. The mask thickness depends on the mask material and the energy of the subsequent ion implantation, typically above 2.5 μm for photoresist. Performing Al ion implantation to form a doped region with a concentration greater than 1E18cm-3Surface concentration greater than 1E19cm-3And the depth is more than 0.35 mu m. The direction of implantation is perpendicular to the wafer direction and with a certain tilt angle. The directional injection with a certain inclination angle is mainly used for effectively injecting the side wall of the source groove to form highly doped p +, and the electric communication between the source electrode and the p base region is completed. The purpose of the higher implantation concentration of the surface is to form a surface with higher doping concentration so as to facilitate the subsequent ohmic contact of the p + region at the bottom of the source trench. And removing the second mask after the implantation is finished.
