The invention discloses a platinum doping method for a silicon-based fast recovery diode chip, which comprises the following steps: s1: the roughness of the back of the chip is improved to form a back rough layer, and a P + layer is generated below the back rough layer, so that the boron concentration of the back of the chip is greater than that of the front of the chip; s2: depositing a platinum metal layer with the thickness of 50-1000 mu m below the back rough layer; s3: placing the chip into a diffusion furnace tube or a rapid annealing furnace tube, wherein the annealing temperature is set to be 1000-1100 ℃, and the annealing time is 5 seconds-30 minutes; s4: and removing the back rough layer and the P + layer on the back of the chip. According to the platinum doping method, the probability of inversion on the front side of the chip caused by high-temperature platinum diffusion is reduced by increasing the concentration of platinum on the back side of the chip and reducing the concentration of platinum on the front side of the chip, so that the reverse leakage current of a diode is effectively controlled, and the platinum diffusion temperature can be further increased to realize that Trr is less than 15 ns.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor power devices, in particular to a platinum doping method for a silicon-based fast recovery diode chip.
Background
With the continuous development of power electronic technology, the working frequency and performance of various main switching circuits are continuously improved, and especially main loops of various frequency conversion circuits and chopper circuits adopt thyristors which are turned off by current conversion or novel power electronic devices (such as GTO, IGBT and the like) with self-turn-off capability, and a fast recovery diode with extremely short reverse recovery time (Trr) is required. At present, chip manufacturers at home and abroad very favor to introduce a composite center by doping platinum to control the minority carrier lifetime so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the Trr of the fast recovery diode.
The common method is to deposit platinum on the front surface of the chip and adopt a high-temperature furnace tube or a rapid annealing furnace tube to perform platinum diffusion to control minority carrier lifetime, and the process method has the advantages of simple process and low manufacturing cost when processing the diode chip with the conventional recovery speed, and can produce the fast recovery diode chip with good parameter performance. When the Trr of the fast recovery diode chip is further reduced, the platinum diffusion temperature needs to be greatly increased, the diode reverse leakage current is greatly increased due to the higher diffusion temperature (over 980 ℃), and the reverse leakage current exponentially increases with the increase of the platinum diffusion temperature, and even the problem of electrical failure of the diode occurs. For example, in an 8A/600V silicon-based fast recovery diode chip, the lowest Trr 18ns can be realized by diffusing platinum from the front surface of the chip, the diode has good reverse breakdown characteristic, and if the platinum diffusion temperature (1000-1100 ℃) is further improved, the Trr can be below 15ns, but the reverse leakage current of the diode is increased sharply, and even the reverse blocking characteristic is lost. For the reasons, the Trr of the silicon-based 8A/600V chip at home and abroad cannot be less than 15ns, so that a circuit designer can only select the SiC Schottky with high price to replace the SiC Schottky, and the circuit cost is increased. On the background that the performance and the frequency of the switching circuit are continuously upgraded, the conventional platinum diffusion method cannot produce a fast recovery diode chip meeting the market requirement.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention discloses a platinum doping method of a silicon-based fast recovery diode chip, which can manufacture a fast recovery diode chip with Trr (reverse recovery time) less than 15ns and can effectively avoid the problem of increase of diode reverse leakage current caused by high-temperature platinum diffusion.
The invention relates to a platinum doping method for a silicon-based fast recovery diode chip, which comprises the following steps:
s1: before platinum doping: removing a dielectric layer on the back of the chip, simultaneously improving the roughness of the back of the chip to form a back rough layer, and generating a P + layer below the back rough layer to simultaneously enable the boron concentration of the back of the chip to be greater than the boron concentration of the front of the chip;
s2: platinum deposition: depositing a platinum metal layer with the thickness of 50-1000 mu m below the back rough layer;
s3: doping platinum: placing the chip subjected to platinum deposition into a diffusion furnace tube or a rapid annealing furnace tube, wherein the annealing temperature is set to be 1000-1100 ℃, and the annealing time is 5 seconds-30 minutes;
s4: after platinum doping: and removing the back rough layer and the P + layer on the back of the chip.
The method has the beneficial effects that: the back rough layer is beneficial to increasing the defect density, inducing more platinum to gather on the back of the chip and reducing the concentration of the platinum on the front of the chip; a P + layer is arranged below the back rough layer, so that the boron concentration of the back of the chip is greater than that of the front of the chip, and platinum is adsorbed; the platinum source is arranged on the back of the chip, the roughness of the back of the chip is improved, the P + layer is arranged to improve the platinum concentration of the back of the chip and reduce the platinum concentration of the front of the chip, so that the probability of inversion on the front of the chip and the possibility of increase of reverse leakage current of the diode are reduced, and finally the purpose of greatly improving the diffusion temperature of the platinum and not increasing the reverse leakage current of the diode is achieved.
Further, in step S1, the dielectric layer on the back side of the chip is removed by grinding or etching. The roughness of the back surface of the chip can be improved by the two modes.
Further, in the step S1, the P + layer is disposed by implantation or boron source diffusion, and the concentration of the P + layer is 1 × 1018-1×1020cm-3The depth is 1-10 μm. After the P + layer is arranged on the back of the chip, platinum is adsorbed by a large number of boron impurity defects and is gathered on the back of the chip, and the concentration of the platinum on the front of the chip is reduced.
Further, in step S2, the platinum metal layer is disposed by sputtering or evaporation. Both of the above two ways can dispose the platinum source on the back of the chip.
Further, in the step S4, the back surface rough layer and the P + layer on the back surface of the chip are removed by back surface thinning or back surface etching. The two modes can obtain the original PN structure of the diode chip again.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that: the probability of inversion on the front surface of the chip caused by high-temperature platinum diffusion is reduced by improving the concentration of platinum on the back surface of the chip and reducing the concentration of platinum on the front surface of the chip, so that the reverse leakage current of the diode is effectively controlled, and the temperature of platinum diffusion (reaching 1000-1100 ℃) can be further improved on the basis of ensuring the stability and reliability of the reverse breakdown characteristic of the diode so as to realize that Trr is less than 15 ns.
