Description

半导体功率元件
技术领域
本发明为涉及一种半导体功率元件,尤指一种具有低导通电阻的半导体功率元件。
背景技术
半导体功率元件在特性上系追求低导通电阻以及较快的开关速度,以减少导通损耗(Conduction loss)及切换损耗(Switching loss)。常见的半导体开关元件包括金属氧化物半导体场效晶体管(Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor,简称MOSFET)、绝缘栅双极晶体管(Insulated gate bipolar transistor,简称IGBT)、接面场效晶体管(Junction Field Effect Transistor,简称JFET)。
以MOSFET举例来说,习知技术如美国发明专利公告第US 7,598,567号,揭示一种可降低导通电阻(RDS(on))的整流接面分流的功率开关半导体元件,包括一漂移层、一第一体区、一第二体区、一接触区、一分流通道区、一第一端子以及一第二端子,该漂移层具有第一导电类型,该第一体区邻近该漂移层且具有与该第一导电类型相反的第二导电类型,该第一体区与该漂移层形成一P-N接面,该第二体区设置在该第一体区上且具有该第二导电类型,该接触区邻近该第一体区和该第二体区,且具有该第一导电类型,该从分流通道区该接触区到该漂移层在该第一体区和该第二体区之间延伸,该分流器沟道区具有该第一导电类型,该第一端子与该第一体区和该第二体区以及该接触器区电接触,该第二端子与该漂移层电接触。
或如美国发明专利公告第US 8,377,756所示,揭示一种可以使用自对准方式形成以降低通道电阻(Channel resistance)的MOSFET单元(Cell),每单元包括一U形井区(P型)、两形成在该井区的N型平行源极区、复数个连接该源极区的N型源极环(Rung),每两N型源极环间包含一P型体区,上述区域形成在N型磊晶层以及一N型基板上。一接触窗沿伸并与该些N型源极环与体区接触,栅极氧化层与栅极接触覆盖部分的一第一井区的一支部(Leg)以及一第二相邻井区的一支部,使栅极电压可反转该些井区的导电性。
此外,也可参美国发明专利公告第US 8,476,697号所示,揭示可使用自对准形成的一种碳化硅功率MOSFET,包含一具有第一导电型的漏极(Drain)区、一具有第二导电型的基极(Base)区以及一相邻于该基极区上表面且具有第一导电型的源极区,该基极包含一延伸自该源极区,通过该基极区,且与栅极接口相邻的通道,该通道具有一小于0.6m的长度,该基极具有足够高的第二导电型掺杂浓度,使得该通道位在源极端的势垒(Potentialbarrier)不因施加在源极的电压而降低。
除了以上先前技术之外,还可参美国发明专利公告第US5,170,231、US6,165,822、US6,221,700、US6,956,238、US8,575,622、US8,395,162、US8,507,986、US8,610,130号、美国发明专利公开第US2012/0,329,216号以及以下非专利文献:

MOSFET的导通电阻RDf(on)可写为:
Figure BDA0001443101420000031
其中Lch为通道长度,Wch为通道宽度,μn为通道迁移率,Cox为栅极氧化层电容,VG为栅极电压,Vth为栅极临界电压。
在一碳化硅MOSFET以热氧化方式形成栅极介电层时,未完全反应的碳会残留在栅极介电层与碳化硅之间的接口,而形成Si空缺(Silicon vacancy)、碳簇(Carbon cluster)或间隙碳(Carbon interstitial)等缺陷,这些缺陷在能隙中产生能态(Energy states)并成为受体陷阱(Acceptor traps)或施体陷阱(Donor traps)。一般来说,功率元件应用的SiC MOSFET以n型通道的MOSFET为主,n型通道系通过施予正栅极偏压并反转p型井而形成。因此,存在于靠近导带边缘的受体陷阱将补捉电子,减少了能够用来传导电流的电子密度,且填入电子的受体陷阱又会形成负电荷并且成为电子的库仑散射中心。与Si MOSFET相比,上述两种效应明显的降低了SiC MOSFET的通道迁移率而产生较高的通道电阻。
改善通道迁移率以降低导通电阻的其中一种方式为,利用Nitric oxide(NO)、Nitrous oxide(N2O)或POCl3等气体以氧化后退火(Post-oxidation annealing)的方式钝化接口陷阱,改善通道迁移率μn以降低导通电阻;或是,可利用结构来改善导通电阻,如前述前案通过整流接面分流;或是如前述前案以及根据式(1)所揭示的,通过缩减通道长度Lch的方式来降低通道电阻。然而缩减通道长度Lch的方式会因为短通道效应而增加MOSFET的饱和电流,将对于装置的短路耐受能力(short circuit withstand time)造成不良影响。
发明内容
本发明的主要目的,在于改善半导体功率元件的导通电阻。
为达上述目的,本发明提供一种半导体功率元件,包含有一n型漂移层;复数个设置在该漂移层的第一p型掺杂区域,该第一p型掺杂区域包括一第一p型掺杂部以及复数个自该第一p型掺杂部向外延伸的第一p型掺杂支臂;复数个设置在该第一p型掺杂区域内的n型掺杂区域,该n型掺杂区域包括一n型掺杂部以及复数个自该n型掺杂部向外延伸的n型掺杂支臂;复数个相邻在该第一p型掺杂区域的第二p型掺杂区域;一设置在该n型漂移层上的栅极介电层;一设置在该栅极介电层上的栅电极;一设置在该栅极介电层与该栅电极上的层间介电层;以及复数个穿过该层间介电层与该栅极介电层而与部分该n型掺杂部与该第二p型掺杂区域形成一欧姆接触的源极接触。
通过该p型掺杂支臂与该n型掺杂支臂,可提高通道宽度密度(每活性区域面积所包含的通道宽度,Wch/cm2),且比导通电阻系由下式(2)表示,故能降低比导通电阻(Specific on-resistance,ron,sp):
Figure BDA0001443101420000051
其中A为面积,根据式(2),当该通道宽度密度(Wch/cm2)越高时,比导通电阻将越低,因而降低同一面积下的导通电阻。
进一步来说,设计半导体功率元件时,根据晶圆厂的工艺能力,通常应用源极接触(source contact)和栅电极之间的距离的最小规则,以避免发生G/S短路;且为了要确认该通道可通过反转该p型井而形成该通道,也有栅电极及n型掺杂区域之间重迭的设计规则。又,源极接触需要形成在n型掺杂区域以提供一良好的欧姆接触。传统上,通常需要更佳的制程能力以提供更紧致的设计规则来缩小单元(cell)尺寸以增加宽度密度(Wch/cm2)。本案因该向外延伸的该p型掺杂/n型掺杂支臂之间并无设置源极接触且通道系形成在该支臂的两侧。因此,可在不改变设计规则的情况下实现更高的宽度密度。且本发明的该通道宽度密度可通过更紧致的设计规则来缩小单元(cell)尺寸而更为提升。
