Detailed Description
In order to clearly understand the technical contents of the present invention, the following examples are given in detail.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a shielded gate field effect transistor and a method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention.
In one embodiment, the method of manufacturing a shielded gate field effect transistor includes the steps of:
(1) as shown in fig. 5, an N-region is generated on an N + substrate as a drain using an epitaxial growth process;
(2) as shown in fig. 6, a silicon nitride mask is arranged on the N-region to perform a first etching to form a trench in the N-region;
(3) as shown in fig. 7, a silicon nitride mask is arranged on the inner wall of the trench to perform a second etching to deepen the trench;
(4) as shown in fig. 8, a mask is further disposed on the inner wall of the deepened trench for the third etching, and then the trench is deepened to form a step trench and the bottom of the trench;
(5) as shown in fig. 9, a bottom dielectric layer is formed at the bottom of the trench;
(6) as shown in fig. 10, removing the mask and a part of the bottom dielectric layer;
(7) as shown in fig. 11, a shielding gate dielectric layer is formed on the surface of the trench;
(8) as shown in fig. 12, performing poly deposition and etching back of the shield gate in the trench;
(9) as shown in fig. 13, depositing a dielectric layer to cover the trench;
(10) as shown in fig. 14, performing device gate etching, gate oxidation, polysilicon deposition and etching to form a gate electrode on the top of the trench;
(11) as shown in fig. 15, P-body implantation and annealing are performed on the top of the N-region to form a P-body region;
(12) as shown in fig. 16, N + implant is performed along the channel at the top of the P-body region;
(13) as shown in fig. 17, a source is formed on top of the device using a back end of line process.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention,
specifically, the step (5) is to form a bottom oxide layer at the bottom of the trench by thermal oxygen growth.
And (7) specifically, forming a shielding gate oxide layer on the surface of the trench through thermal oxygen growth.
And (9) specifically, depositing an oxide layer to cover the groove.
And (13) specifically, setting an interlayer dielectric layer by utilizing a back-end process, and forming a source electrode on the top of the device by P + injection and metal connecting lines.
The invention also provides a shielded gate field effect transistor manufactured by the manufacturing method, and the structure of the shielded gate field effect transistor is shown in fig. 17. In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the bottom dielectric layer is 0.7 to 1.7 μm.
In the application of the present invention, the thickness of the oxide layer at the bottom of the shielding gate can be different according to different applications.

increasing the thickness of the bottom oxide layer can, on the one hand, take up a larger electric field and thus achieve a higher breakdown voltage. The bottom electric field distribution of the present invention is comparable to that of the conventional structure as shown in fig. 18. The thicker bottom silicon dioxide in the invention can effectively reduce the electric field intensity in the N-epitaxial layer (silicon) (the electric field intensity E1 of the invention is less than the electric field intensity E2 of the traditional structure), and further can reach the critical electric field later, thereby obtaining higher breakdown voltage.
On the other hand, the parasitic capacitance between the drain electrode and the source electrode can be further reduced by increasing the thickness of the bottom oxide layer; according to the theory of plate capacitance, C ═ ea/d, where e is the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer silica, a is the area, and d is the dielectric layer thickness, so C isdsDecreases with increasing dielectric layer thickness d.
Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 19, the shielded gate field effect transistor of the invention changes the appearance of the gate structure, so that the current path of the JFET region is wider and the resistance is smaller.
By adopting the shielded gate field effect transistor and the manufacturing method thereof, the stepped groove is formed firstly, the bottom oxide layer is formed at the bottom of the groove, and the shielded gate oxide layer is formed on the surface of the groove, so that the thickness of the oxide layer at the bottom of the shielded gate is thicker than other positions, the purpose of weakening the electric field at the bottom of the shielded gate is achieved, the bottom breakdown of the shielded gate is avoided, the appearance of the gate structure is changed, the current conduction path is optimized, and the durability of the device is improved.
In this specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
