Description

Technical Field
The invention belongs to a semiconductor device, in particular to a semiconductor power device.
Background
A Reverse Conducting Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (RC-IGBT) is a device in which an IGBT and an antiparallel diode are integrated into one chip. The reverse conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor (RC-IGBT) can improve the integration level, reduce the parasitic inductance and reduce the packaging cost. However, the conventional RC-IGBT generates a phenomenon in which a current varies with a voltage flyback (Snap-back), which adversely affects power consumption and reliability of the device. The inventor's prior chinese patent application (application number: 2018103973557) proposed a reverse conducting IGBT with a back side trench gate in which heavily doped p-type polysilicon is used. However, this structure requires a smaller back-side trench gate pitch in order to completely suppress the fold-back phenomenon, and the effect of suppressing the fold-back phenomenon is also easily affected by the gate oxide charge in the back-side trench gate structure.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The main purpose of the present invention is to suppress the Snap-back phenomenon of an RC-IGBT.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an RC-IGBT cell structure according to the present invention, which includes two types of trench gate structures. One is a trench gate structure (composed of the fourth conductor region 33 and the fourth insulating medium layer 34) connected with the gate (G) and used for controlling the switch, and the other is a first back trench gate structure (composed of the first conductor region 12 and the first insulating medium layer 35) connected with the collector (C), wherein the first insulating medium layer (35) and the fourth insulating medium layer (34) can be SiO2The dielectric layer, the fourth conductor region (33) may be a heavily doped n-type or p-type polysilicon material, and the first conductor region (12) may be a heavily doped n-type or p-type polysilicon material. The top of the first type of back side trench gate structure (composed of 12 and 35) is in direct contact with a termination ring (n-ring region 22) of the first conductivity type, and both sides of the first type of back side trench gate structure (composed of 12 and 35) are in direct contact with a floating region (p-float region 24) of the second conductivity type and are not in direct contact with the drift region (n-region 21). The first type of back-side trench gate structure (consisting of 12 and 35) connects the collector region of the second conductivity type (p-collector region 10) with the collector region of the first conductivity type (n)+The zones 11) are isolated from each other. The first type of back trench gate structure (formed by 12 and 35) extends deep into the drift region (n-region 21) and is connected to the collector region of the second conductivity type (p-collector region 10) and the collector region of the first conductivity type (n-collector region)+Region 11), buffer region (n-buffer region 20), floating region of the second conductivity type (p-float region 24), and termination ring of the first conductivity type (n-ring region 22) are all in contact. Note that the base region (formed by p-base regions 30 and p)+Region 32) is formed) of a heavily doped region (p)+Region 32) is 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 to form a good ohmic contact with the emitter (E)+Region 32) is not required.
At zero bias, depletion of the drift region (n-region 21) between two adjacent floating regions of the second conductivity type (p-float regions 24) occurs due to the built-in potential, e.g., 0.7V, between the floating regions of the second conductivity type (p-float regions 24) and the drift region (n-region 21). When the distance between two adjacent floating regions (p-float regions 24) of the second conductivity type is sufficiently small, the drift region (n-region 21) between them can be completely depleted, which allows the drift region (n-region 21) to go from the neutral region to the collector region (n) of the first conductivity type+Region 11) is closed. Further, when a positive voltage applied between the gate (G) and the emitter (E) is greater than a threshold voltage of a trench type gate structure (composed of 33 and 34) for controlling a switch, the base region (composed of p-base region 30 and p)+Region 32) and a trench gate structure (composed of 33 and 34) for controlling the switch, an emitter region (n)+Region 31) to the drift region (n-region 21). If a positive voltage is applied between the collector (C) and the emitter (E), electrons pass from the emitter (E) through the emitter region (n)+Region 31) and electron accumulation layer channel into the drift region (n-region 21). From the neutral region of the drift region (n-region 21) to the collector region (n) of the first conductivity type+Region 11) is turned off, electrons entering the drift region (n-region 21) may enter the collector region of the second conductivity type (p-collector region 10), thereby causing holes to be injected from the collector region of the second conductivity type (p-collector region 10) into the drift region (n-region 21), and finally the device is turned on.
In fig. 2, the main difference from the structure of fig. 1 is that there is also a second kind of back trench gate structure (consisting of 13 and 14) in the cell. The second type of back side trench gate structure (composed of 13 and 14) is different from the first type of back side trench gate structure (composed of 12 and 35) in that the former is not in contact with the collector region (p-collector region 10) of the second conductivity type. The second type of back side trench gate structure (consisting of 13 and 14) acts in conjunction with the first type of back sideThe trench gate structures (formed by 12 and 35) all function in the same way by depleting the drift region (n-region 21) by the potential difference between the floating region (p-float region 24) of the second conductivity type and the drift region (n-region 21) in contact with them to increase the current from the drift region (n-region 21) to the collector region (n-region 21) of the first conductivity type+Resistance on the electron path of region 11); the difference between the two is mainly the difference in position, and the second type of back side trench gate structure (composed of 12 and 35) is located between the two first type of back side trench gate structures (composed of 12 and 35) and is not in contact with the collector region (p-collector region 10) of the second conductivity type. From the foregoing discussion, it is known that, in order to avoid the snapback phenomenon, the width of the drift region (n-region 21) between the two floating regions (p-float regions 24) of the second conductivity type is limited, such as to be less than or equal to 3 μm; in fig. 1, only the first type of back-side trench gate structure (consisting of 12 and 35), the collector region of the first conductivity type (n)+The width of the region 11) is also limited, for example, 3 μm or less.

In order to illustrate the superiority of the RC-IGBT of the present invention, the RC-IGBT structure of the present invention in fig. 1 is taken as an example for simulation calculation here. Half of the cells (width 8 μm) of the structure of fig. 1 were used in the simulation; si material is adopted; the minority carrier lifetime of both electrons and holes is 10 mus; the insulating medium layers (34 and 35) adopt SiO2The thickness of which is 0.1 μm, and the thickness and doping concentration of the drift region (n-region 21) are 105 μm and 6X 10, respectively13cm-3(ii) a The thickness and doping concentration of the buffer region (n-buffer region 20) were 1.4 μm and 5X 10, respectively16cm-3(ii) a The width and the depth of a groove type grid structure (composed of 33 and 34) for controlling a switch and a first back groove type grid structure (composed of 35 and 12) are respectively 1 mu m and 5 mu m, and the first conductor region (12) adopts heavily doped p-type polycrystalline silicon; the peak concentration at the interface between the termination ring (n-ring region 22) of the first conductivity type and the first type of back side trench gate structure is 1 × 1017cm-3The diffusion length is 0.3 μm; the peak concentration at the interface of the second conductivity type floating region (p-float region 24) and the first back side trench gate structure is 3 × 1016cm-3The diffusion length is 0.3 μm; collector region of the second conductivity type (p-collector region 10) and collector region of the first conductivity type (n)+Region 11) has a thickness and doping concentration of 0.6 μm and 3 × 10, respectively18cm-3Collector region of the first conductivity type (n)+Region 11) has a width of 2 μm and the collector region of the second conductivity type (p-collector region 10) has a width of 3 μm. The simulation results show that the breakdown voltage of the structure of fig. 1 is 1424V. Whereas if the termination ring of the first conductivity type (n-ring region 22) in the structure of fig. 1 were removed, the breakdown voltage would be 1324V. This is mainly because the introduction of the termination ring (n-ring region 22) of the first conductivity type can avoid the electric field concentration effect at the top corner of the first type of back trench gate structure.
FIG. 14 is a reverse conducting I-V curve for the RC-IGBT of the present invention in FIG. 1, and a forward conducting I-V curve for the RC-IGBT of the present invention and a comparative structure in FIG. 1, wherein the comparative structure differs from the structure of FIG. 1 only in the absence of a termination ring of the first conductivity type (n-ring region 2)2) And a floating region (p-float region 24) of the second conductivity type. D in FIG. 14iRepresents the interfacial charge areal density on the first dielectric layer (35). As can be seen from the figure, the RC-IGBT of the invention has the capability of conducting in two directions. The inventive RC-IGBT is less prone to the snapback phenomenon than the comparative structure under the same back side trench gate pitch condition because the floating region of the second conductivity type (p-float region 24) reduces the width of the drift region (n-region 21) between the two back side trench gates. In addition, the RC-IGBT of the invention is also less prone to the phenomenon of folding back than the comparative structure in the presence of interface charges on the first insulating dielectric layer (35), because the floating regions (p-float regions 24) of the second conductivity type attenuate the influence of the interface charges on the first insulating dielectric layer (35) on the depletion region in the drift region (n-region 21).
In the above description of many embodiments of the present invention, the n-type semiconductor material can be regarded as a first conductive type semiconductor material, and the p-type semiconductor material can be regarded as a second conductive type semiconductor material. Obviously, according to the principle of the present invention, the n-type and the p-type in the embodiments can be interchanged without affecting the content of the present invention. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that many other embodiments are possible within the inventive idea without going beyond the claims of the invention.
