Description

Silicon carbide VDMOS device and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductors, and particularly relates to a silicon carbide VDMOS device and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Since the 21 st century of human beings, the energy problem has been increasingly highlighted. At present, the demand for energy conservation and emission reduction is rising, the problem of electric energy conversion from small to household appliances and electric vehicles to large to industrial production and locomotive traction is very important, and scientific research personnel in the field of power electronics are very critical to the optimization and improvement of a power management system.
Power devices are the core of modern power systems. Because the performance of the traditional silicon-based power device is very close to the limit of silicon materials, the performance of the traditional silicon-based power device is difficult to be greatly improved. Therefore, some wide bandgap semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) have more attractive and excellent properties than silicon materials, so that the research on the silicon carbide and gallium nitride materials becomes a new hot spot of power devices.
Silicon carbide VDMOS devices are a new generation of semiconductor devices fabricated using the wide bandgap semiconductor material silicon carbide. Compared with silicon materials, the silicon carbide material has larger forbidden band width, high thermal conductivity, high electronic saturation drift velocity and high critical breakdown electric field, so that the silicon carbide material has very wide application prospect in the power application fields of high temperature, high pressure, strong radiation and high power.
Silicon carbide VDMOS devices have such excellent characteristics, and thus are widely used in circuits such as inverter circuits and chopper circuits. Silicon carbide VDMOS devices generally need to function together with an anti-parallel diode in circuit applications such as traditional inverter circuits and chopper circuits, and generally have the following two modes: the method comprises the following steps: the device Pbase, the N-region and the N + substrate are used directly to form a parasitic PIN diode. However, the parasitic silicon carbide diode obtained in this way has a large conduction voltage drop (the conduction voltage drop of the silicon carbide PN junction is about 3V), and has poor reverse recovery characteristics (a large amount of excess carriers are injected by drift region conductance modulation during forward conduction), resulting in high power loss, which is contrary to the application concept of emphasizing green environmental protection; meanwhile, the low working efficiency is caused by the low working speed, which is very unfavorable for the application of the silicon carbide VDMOS device in an inverter circuit, a chopper circuit and the like; the second is as follows: the device is used in anti-parallel with an external Fast Recovery Diode (FRD). However, this method may cause an increase in system cost, an increase in volume, and a decrease in reliability due to an increase in metal wiring, and finally, the popularization of the silicon carbide VDMOS device in circuit applications such as a conventional inverter circuit and a chopper circuit is hindered to some extent.
In summary, how to implement the silicon carbide VDMOS device to be widely applied to circuits such as inverter circuits and chopper circuits, and solve the problems of high power loss, low working efficiency, high system cost, and the like in the existing applications, is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

As will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art: in the structure of the silicon carbide power VDMOS device, acceptor ions and donor ions in each structure can be interchanged, and according to the technical means of the invention, a substrate and an epitaxial layer can be made of N-type semiconductor materials, and the doping type of a polysilicon layer which is additionally arranged correspondingly is P-type; the substrate and the epitaxial layer can be made of P-type semiconductor materials, and the doping type of the polysilicon layer added correspondingly in the invention is N-type. In addition, according to knowledge of heterojunction physics, by adjusting the doping concentrations of the epitaxial layer and the polycrystalline silicon layer, when the substrate and the epitaxial layer are made of N-type semiconductor materials, the doping type of the polycrystalline silicon layer can also be N-type, and when the substrate and the epitaxial layer are made of P-type semiconductor materials, the doping type of the polycrystalline silicon layer can also be P-type.
The gate dielectric layer and dielectric layer material used in the present invention may be silicon dioxide (SiO)2) But may be any suitable material, such as: silicon nitride (Si)3N4) Hafnium oxide (H)fO2) Aluminum oxide (Al)2O3) And high-K dielectric materials.
The working principle of the invention is explained as follows:
in application of an inverter circuit, a chopper circuit and the like, a power VDMOS device generally needs to be connected with a diode in an anti-parallel manner, and the power VDMOS device can be realized by the following two methods:
1) directly using its parasitic PIN diode, i.e. Pbase region, N-Drift region and N+A PIN diode formed in the substrate. As is known to those of ordinary skill in the art: the PN junction conduction voltage drop of the silicon carbide PIN diode is about 3V, high power loss and low working speed are caused by high conduction voltage drop, the VDMOS device is not favorable for application in an inverter circuit, a chopper circuit and the like, and in addition, the problem of poor reverse recovery characteristic is easily caused by directly utilizing a parasitic silicon carbide diode;
2) anti-parallel with a Fast Recovery Diode (FRD). This method can improve the characteristics of the diode to some extent, but has disadvantages such as high production cost, large system volume, and low reliability.
In the structure, a layer of polycrystalline silicon is deposited on the surface of a JFET area of a silicon carbide VDMOS device, and a heterojunction is formed by P-type (N-type) Si in the P-type (N-type) polycrystalline silicon and N-type (P-type) SiC in the surface of the silicon carbide JFET area to integrate a diode in the device. On one hand, the junction voltage drop of the heterojunction formed by the P-type polycrystalline silicon and the N-type silicon carbide or the N-type polycrystalline silicon and the P-type silicon carbide is about 1V, and compared with the junction voltage drop of a parasitic silicon carbide PN junction which is about 3V, the heterojunction formed by the P-type polycrystalline silicon and the N-type silicon carbide can be conducted under lower voltage drop, so that the diode is integrated in the device through the technical means of the invention, and the device has the advantage of low conduction voltage drop in practical application. On the other hand, the P-type polycrystalline silicon and the N-type silicon carbide form a heterojunction, when the diode is conducted in the forward direction, the heterojunction only conducts electrons and does not inject holes, and the conduction mode when the diode is applied is multi-photon conduction (the heterojunction formed by the method can be considered to have no injection of minority carriers when the diode is conducted in the forward direction), so that the reverse recovery time is short, and the reverse recovery charge is less, therefore, the diode has good reverse recovery characteristics; at the time of reverse voltage resistance, the heterojunction has an electron barrier height of about 1.5eV, and the first Pbase region 7 and the second Pbase region 71 provide an electric field shielding effect, so that the device structure disclosed by the invention has the same voltage blocking capability and low reverse leakage as the conventional VDMOS device. Meanwhile, when the VDMOS device is in a working mode, due to the introduction of the P-type polycrystalline silicon structure connecting the surface of the JFET area of the device and the source electrode, the grid width of the surface of the JFET area of the VDMOS device is reduced, the grid capacitance and the grid charge are reduced, the switching speed of the VDMOS device is improved on the basis of not influencing other characteristics of the VDMOS device, and the requirement on a driving circuit is reduced.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention provides a method for depositing polycrystalline silicon on the surface of a JFET area of a silicon carbide VDMOS device to enable the polycrystalline silicon and an epitaxial layer to form a heterojunction, and the technical means can have remarkable effects on improving the performance of the device:
(1) compared with a VDMOS parasitic silicon carbide diode which is directly used, the silicon carbide VDMOS device reduces forward conduction voltage drop through a technical means of integrating the diode in the device, so that forward conduction is easier to realize in electric energy conversion application such as an inverter circuit and a chopper circuit, and the silicon carbide VDMOS device has lower power loss and higher working efficiency.
(2) The invention provides a method for converting the conduction mode of a device structure from bipolar conduction (conductance modulation) of a silicon carbide parasitic diode into multi-photon conduction when the diode is applied, so that the device has the characteristics of short reverse recovery time, less reverse recovery charge and higher switching speed in the application of electric energy conversion such as an inverter circuit, a chopper circuit and the like.
(3) Compared with the application mode of reversely connecting a Fast Recovery Diode (FRD) in parallel outside the silicon carbide VDMOS device, the silicon carbide VDMOS device provided by the invention directly integrates a diode inside the device for use, reduces the using number of the device, reduces the connecting lines among the devices, and has the advantages of low production cost, high reliability of the device and small system volume.
(4) According to the silicon carbide VDMOS device, due to the fact that the heterojunction has the electron barrier height of about 1.5eV and the electric field shielding effect provided by the first Pbase region 7 and the second Pbase region 71, the structure has the same voltage blocking capability and low reverse leakage as a traditional VDMOS device when the device is in reverse voltage withstanding.
(5) According to the silicon carbide VDMOS device, the grid width and the grid charge of the surface of the JFET area are reduced, the switching speed of the VDMOS device is further improved on the basis of not influencing other characteristics of the VDMOS device, and the requirement on a driving circuit is reduced.
