Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The invention mainly aims to provide an FS-IGBT with reverse blocking capability.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a reverse blocking FS-IGBT cell according to the present invention, which includes two types of trench gate structures. One is a trench gate structure (composed of 33 and 34) for controlling the switch, and the other is a trench gate structure (composed of 11 and 12) for shielding the reverse high electric field, wherein the insulating dielectric layers (34 and 12) can be SiO2The dielectric layer, the conductor region (33) of the trench gate structure for controlling the switch and the conductor region (11) of the trench gate structure for shielding the reverse high electric field may be a heavily doped n-type or p-type polysilicon material. The trench gate structure (composed of 33 and 34) for controlling the switch is deep into the drift region (n-region 21) and is connected with the emitter region (n + region 32), the base region (composed of p-base region 30 and p-base region)+Region 31), carrier storage region (n-cs region 22) and drift region (n-region 21) are all in contact, and a conductor region (33) of a trench gate structure (consisting of 33 and 34) for controlling the switch is connected to the gate (G). The groove-shaped grid structure (composed of 11 and 12) for shielding the reverse high electric field is deeply arranged in the drift region (n-region 21), is contacted with the collector region (p-collector region 10), the field stop region (n-fs region 20) and the drift region (n-region 21), and the conductor region (11) of the groove-shaped grid structure (composed of 11 and 12) for shielding the reverse high electric field is connected with the collector (C). Note that the base region (formed by p-base regions 30 and p)+Region 31) of the substrate is formed by a heavily doped region (p)+Region 31) is to form a good ohmic contact with the emitter (E), a heavily doped region (p-base region 30) in the base region when the doping concentration at the surface of the base region is sufficiently high+Region 31) is not required.
In the forward blocking state (gate voltage V)GLess than threshold voltage VTHVoltage V between collector and emitterCE>0) Most of the consumptionThe electric lines of force generated by ionized donors in the drift region (n-region 21) are absorbed by negative charges in a conductor region (33) of a groove-shaped gate structure (composed of 33 and 34) used for controlling the switch, but are only absorbed by ionized acceptors of a base region (p-base region 30) rarely, so that a pn junction formed by the base region (p-base region 30) and a carrier storage region (n-cs region 22) cannot bear a high electric field, namely the groove-shaped gate structure (composed of 33 and 34) used for controlling the switch shields the high electric field at the pn junction formed by the base region (p-base region 30) and the carrier storage region (n-cs region 22), and the carrier storage region (n-cs region 22) is prevented from being subjected to avalanche breakdown. With VCEWhen the depletion region of the drift region (n-region 21) is expanded to the field stop region (n-fs region 20), the field stop region (n-fs region 20) stops the electric field from continuously expanding to the collector region (p-collector region 10), and punch-through breakdown is avoided.
In reverse blocking state (V)G<VTH,VCE<0) Most of the electric lines of force generated by the ionization donors in the depleted drift region (n-region 21) are absorbed by negative charges in the conductor region (11) of the trench-type gate structure (composed of 11 and 12) for shielding a reverse high electric field, and are only rarely absorbed by the ionization acceptors of the collector region (p-collector region 10), so that the pn junction formed by the collector region (p-collector region 10) and the field stop region (n-fs region 20) cannot bear the high electric field, that is, the trench-type gate structure (composed of 11 and 12) for shielding the reverse high electric field shields the high electric field at the pn junction formed by the collector region (p-collector region 10) and the field stop region (n-fs region 20), and avoids the breakdown of the field stop region (n-fs region 20). With reverse bias VCEWhen the depletion region of the drift region (n-region 21) is expanded to the carrier storage region (n-cs region 22), the carrier storage region (n-cs region 22) stops the electric field and continues to expand to the base region (p-base region 30), and punch-through breakdown is avoided.
In the forward conducting state (V)G>VTH,VCE>0.7V), inversion occurs at the interface of the base region (p-base region 30) and an insulating medium layer (34) of a groove type grid structure (composed of 33 and 34) for controlling the switch to form an electron channel, and electrons are emitted from an emitting region (n)+Zone 32) throughThe electrons enter a carrier storage region (n-cs region 22), a drift region (n-region 21) and a field stop region (n-fs region 20) through an electron channel, and finally enter a collector region (p-collector region 10) to cause a large number of holes to be injected into the drift region (n-region 21) from the collector region (p-collector region 10). Because the doping concentration of the carrier storage region (n-cs region 22) is higher than that of the drift region (n-region 21), the carrier storage region (n-cs region 22) can play a role in preventing holes from entering the base region (p-base region 30), so that the carrier storage effect (or conductance modulation effect) in the drift region (n-region 21) is enhanced, the conduction voltage drop is reduced, and the excellent compromise relationship between the conduction voltage drop and the turn-off power consumption is obtained.
In fig. 2, the main difference from the structure of fig. 1 is that there is also a trench-type gate structure (composed of 34 and 35) in the cell for shielding the forward high electric field. The trench gate structure (composed of 34 and 35) for shielding the forward high electric field differs from the trench gate structure (composed of 33 and 34) for controlling the switch in that the former conductor region (35) is connected to the emitter (E) and the latter conductor region (33) is connected to the gate (G). In the forward blocking state, the groove-shaped gate structure (composed of 34 and 35) for shielding the forward high electric field and the groove-shaped gate structure (composed of 33 and 34) for controlling the switch play similar roles, namely the groove-shaped gate structures are used for shielding the high electric field at the pn junction formed by the base region (p-base region 30) and the carrier storage region (n-cs region 22) and preventing the carrier storage region (n-cs region 22) from avalanche breakdown.
