Description

Method for improving uniformity of p-type doping concentration in silicon carbide epitaxial wafer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor materials, and particularly relates to a method for improving uniformity of p-type doping concentration in a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer.
Background
In recent years, with the continuous development of power electronic technology, the physical limitations of traditional power electronic devices based on silicon (Si) materials are increasingly appearing, and the improvement of the working voltage (<8kV), the working current, the working frequency, the working temperature (<175 ℃), the dissipation power, the radiation resistance and other performances of the devices are severely restricted.
Currently, silicon carbide (SiC) materials are internationally recognized as next generation power electronic device materials. The SiC power electronic device has unique performance potentials of ultrahigh voltage (up to 4 ten thousand volts), ultrahigh current (up to thousands of amperes), ultrahigh junction temperature (over 500 ℃), high reliability and the like, and is a core element of a power electronic device in large-capacity application. As a bipolar fully-controlled switch device, an insulated gate field effect transistor (IGBT) is the dominant structure of a high-voltage large-capacity power electronic device. The IGBT device is different from a Schottky diode device, a high-quality p-type epitaxial layer is contained in an epitaxial structure of the Schottky diode device, and the obtained p-type SiC epitaxial layer with low defect density and high uniformity is the basis for developing the SiC IGBT.
In recent years, n-type SiC epitaxy technology has been greatly developed, and both defect suppression and uniformity control technology have been broken through, but p-type SiC epitaxy technology is far less mature than n-type SiC epitaxy technology. In the patent "a method for improving the uniformity of n-type doping concentration in silicon carbide epitaxial wafer" (ZL201310615586.8), "it is proposed that the uniformity of n-type doping concentration in the epitaxial wafer is improved by adding process gas into air floating gas on the premise of not changing the key process parameters of epitaxy. The mechanism of adjusting the edge doping of the epitaxial wafer by adding process gas into the air flotation gas is also applicable to improving the uniformity in the p-type doped wafer, but the control rules of the p-type doping and the n-type doping are completely different, and the method provided by the patent is not applicable to p-type SiC epitaxy.
Aluminum is an effective p-type dopant for silicon carbide, and occupies silicon crystal sites in silicon carbide, so that a competitive mechanism of Al impurity atoms and Si atoms exists, the p-type doping efficiency is proportional to a carbon-to-silicon ratio (C/Si ratio), and the p-type doping efficiency can be changed by adjusting the C/Si ratio in the process gas. When the difference between the p-type doping concentration at the edge and the center of the epitaxial wafer is not large, a silicon source or a carbon source is added into the gas floatation, and the C/Si ratio at the edge of the epitaxial wafer is locally adjusted, so that the purpose of optimizing the uniformity in the wafer is achieved. When the difference between the doping concentration of the p-type epitaxial wafer edge and the doping concentration of the p-type epitaxial wafer center is large, if the C/Si ratio of the edge is further adjusted, the C/Si ratio of the edge deviates from a process window, and the number of epitaxial defects is increased. The doping efficiency of the edge needs to be adjusted in other ways. The hydrogen chloride can also greatly reduce the probability of Al entering crystal lattices and reduce the p-type doping efficiency. The p-type doping efficiency at the edge of the epitaxial wafer can be reduced by adding hydrogen chloride in the air flotation. And the p-type doping concentration of the edge of the epitaxial wafer can be directly improved by directly adding trimethylaluminum into the air flotation gas.

The technical solution of the present invention is explained in detail by a specific embodiment.
The method for improving the uniformity of the p-type doping concentration in the silicon carbide epitaxial wafer in the SiC chemical vapor deposition epitaxial system comprises the following steps:
1. selecting a silicon surface silicon carbide substrate deflected to the direction of <11-20> by 4 degrees, and placing the substrate on a graphite base in a reaction chamber of the SiC epitaxial system;
2. the argon is adopted to replace the gas in the reaction chamber for many times, and hydrogen (H) is introduced into the reaction chamber2) Gradually increasing hydrogen flow to 100L/min, selecting hydrogen as air-floating gas to push the graphite base to rotate, setting the pressure of the reaction chamber at 100mbar, gradually heating the reaction chamber to 1650 deg.C, maintaining the temperature of the reaction chamber for 5 min, and carrying out pure hydrogen H on the substrate2Etching;
3. silane and propane are introduced into the reaction chamber at the flow rates of 20ml/min and 10ml/min respectively, and a doping source of trimethylaluminum is introduced at the flow rate of 20ml/min for 12 minutes, the growth thickness of the trimethylaluminum is 1 mu m, and the doping concentration is 3E18cm-3The p-type highly doped buffer layer;
4. setting the flow rate of trimethylaluminum to 10ml/min, increasing the flow rates of silane and propane to 50ml/min and 25ml/min in 30 seconds by adopting a linear gradual change mode, adding propane into air flotation gas, setting the flow rates of the trimethylaluminum to 3.5ml/min and 3ml/min respectively, setting the time to 30 minutes, and growing a 12-micron p-type doped epitaxial layer;
5. after the epitaxial structure growth is completed, the growth source and the doping source are closed, the temperature of the reaction chamber is reduced to room temperature in the hydrogen atmosphere, after the temperature of the reaction chamber reaches the room temperature, the hydrogen is discharged, the gas in the reaction chamber is replaced for many times through argon, finally, the pressure of the reaction chamber is inflated to the atmospheric pressure through the argon, and then the chamber is opened to take the wafer.
The reason why the flow rates of propane and trimethylaluminum in the aerosol gas in the step 4 are set to 3.5ml/min and 3ml/min, respectively, is as follows: under typical process conditions of silane flow 50ml/min, propane flow 25ml/min, growth temperature 1650 ℃, reaction chamber pressure 100mbar and hydrogen gas floatation flow 1000ml/min, the epitaxial wafer has p-type doping concentration with two low sides and high middle, is distributed in an arch bridge, and has p-type doping concentration deviation of the edge and the center point larger than 20%. According to the method provided by the invention, as the propane adopted by the process is 25ml/min, the flow rate of the propane added in the air flotation gas should not be more than 3.75ml/min, and 3.5ml/min propane is selected to be added in the air flotation gas in the embodiment. And then adjusting by adding trimethylaluminum into the air flotation gas. FIG. 2 is a comparison graph of doping concentration distribution of epitaxial wafers along the radial direction, after 3.5ml/min propane is added into the air flotation gas, and different flow rates of trimethylaluminum are added into the air flotation gas. Under the process condition, the flat p-type doping concentration can be realized by selecting the trimethylaluminum flow of 3 ml/min.
By adding a small amount of process gas into the air flotation gas, the uniformity of the in-chip doping concentration of the epitaxial wafer can be effectively optimized under the condition of not changing key process parameters. Therefore, the window of key process parameters is enlarged, and more excellent key indexes such as background concentration, surface appearance, defect density and the like are realized.
