Description

Groove type MOSFET power device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field

With the increasing increase of energy crisis and the increasing prominence of environmental problems, technologies with energy conservation and emission reduction as the core are emerging, and the technical field of improving the energy utilization rate by improving the existing power system is most concerned. Statistically, 60% to 70% of the electrical energy is used in low energy systems, where most of the energy is wasted in power conversion and power driving. A key role in improving power utilization efficiency is the power device, also known as a power electronic device. How to reduce the power consumption of power devices has become an important issue worldwide. In this context, silicon carbide devices, which have far superior performance to conventional silicon devices, are favored. SiC has a series of excellent characteristics such as a large forbidden band width, a high critical breakdown field strength, and a high thermal conductivity as a third-generation semiconductor material. The SiC power switch device can simultaneously realize excellent performances of high breakdown voltage, low on-resistance, high switching speed, easy heat dissipation and the like, has obvious competitiveness in the power electronic technology with high energy efficiency, high power and high temperature, and becomes a research hotspot of the current power semiconductor technology. The SiC device has higher breakdown voltage, high current density and high working frequency, has the advantages of high temperature resistance and radiation resistance, and is suitable for working under severe conditions.
In a conventional planar gate SiC MOSFET device, the on-resistance of the device increases due to the presence of a parasitic Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) structure. The groove type SiC MOSFET has no JFET area, the on-resistance of the device can be obviously reduced, and the side wall of the gate groove is the (11-20) crystal face of the SiC crystal, so that the higher channel carrier mobility can be realized, the on-current of the device is further improved, and the on-resistance of the device is reduced. However, due to the limitation of the turn-on voltage of the SiC PN junction, the trench SiC MOSFET device also has the problems of poor reverse conduction capability and long reverse recovery time, as with the planar gate. Therefore, when the SiC power switch module is assembled, a SiC SBD needs to be matched at the periphery of the SiC MOSFET device to improve the reverse conduction capability thereof, thereby increasing the overall size and economic cost of the power module.

It should be noted that the buffer layer 102 is used to help the epitaxial layer 103 and the substrate 101 to be better matched, so as to achieve the purposes of improving the device performance and prolonging the service life of the device. For example, the material of the buffer layer 102 is generally the same as the material of the epitaxial layer 103 and the material of the substrate 101, or at least the same as one of the material of the epitaxial layer 103 and the material of the substrate 101. Of course, in other examples, the material of the buffer layer 102, the material of the epitaxial layer 103, and the material of the substrate 101 may be different. Specifically, in this embodiment, the material of the buffer layer 102, the material of the epitaxial layer 103, and the material of the substrate 101 are the same.
As an example, the material of the epitaxial layer 103 and the material of the substrate 101 may be the same, for example, the material of the substrate 101 and the material of the epitaxial layer 103 are both one of 4H-SIC, 6H-SIC, 3C-SIC, or 15R-SIC; in this embodiment, the substrate 101 and the epitaxial layer 103 are both 4H-SIC; further, in the present embodiment, the crystal orientation of the material of the substrate 101 is deviated to a (11-20) direction (4 ± 0.5) ° tilt angle.
In other examples, the material of the epitaxial layer 103 may be different from the material of the substrate 101, for example, the material of the substrate 101 may be one of single crystal silicon, polysilicon, sapphire and gallium arsenide, and the material of the epitaxial layer 103 may be one of 4H-SIC, 6H-SIC, 3C-SIC or 15R-SIC.
In step 2), please refer to step S02 in fig. 1 and fig. 3, forming a current spreading layer 104 of a first doping type in the epitaxial layer 103, forming a well 105 of a second doping type in the epitaxial layer 103 extending from the surface of the epitaxial layer 103 to the upper surface of the current spreading layer 104, forming an anode contact region 108 with an embedded SBD structure in the epitaxial layer 103 between the well regions of the second doping type, forming a heavily doped source region 106 of the first doping type in the well 105 of the second doping type, and forming a heavily doped contact region 107 of the second doping type in the well 105 of the second doping type;

As an example, in the step 3), forming a trench 109 in the epitaxial layer 103, and forming a shielding region 110 of the second doping type in the epitaxial layer 103 under the bottom of the trench 109, includes the following steps:
3-1) forming a first mask layer on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 103;
3-2) coating photoresist on the upper surface of the first mask layer, and carrying out patterning treatment on the photoresist by adopting a photoetching process to form patterned photoresist;
3-3) etching the first mask layer and the epitaxial layer 103 simultaneously according to the patterned photoresist to form the trench 109 in the epitaxial layer 103;
3-4) removing the patterned photoresist and reserving the etched first mask layer;
3-5) forming an injection masking layer on the surface of the etched first masking layer and the surface of the groove 109;
3-6) implanting aluminum ions into the surface of the implantation mask layer to form a shielding region 110 of the second doping type in the epitaxial layer 103 at the bottom of the trench 109;
3-7) removing the first mask layer and the implantation masking layer.
It should be noted that the first mask layer serves as an implantation blocking layer to block the implanted aluminum ions and prevent the epitaxial layer region outside the shielding region 110 from being implanted with aluminum ions.
As an example, in the step 3-1), the process of forming the first mask layer may be a chemical vapor deposition process, and the first mask layer may be polysilicon or SiO2,Si3N4And a film, further, in the present embodiment, a thickness of the first mask layerIs 1.0-1.5 um.
As an example, in the step 3-3), the first mask layer and the epitaxial layer 103 are simultaneously etched according to the patterned photoresist, so that the process for forming the trench 109 in the epitaxial layer 103 may be a plasma etching process, and further, an etching gas used in the plasma etching process adopted in this embodiment is SF6And O2The flow ratio of the mixed gas (2) is 5:1 to 3:1, and the total flow of the gas is 5 to 20 sccm.
In addition to the above etching gas, the etching gas may be CF4、O2、N2、SF6、CHF3、NF3、He、C2F6And the like.
As an example, in the step 3-6), aluminum ions are implanted into the surface of the implantation mask layer to form a shielding region 110 of the second doping type in the epitaxial layer 103 at the bottom of the trench 109, and the depth of the shielding region 110 is 0.1 to 0.3 um.
It should be noted that the shielding region 110 is used to shield the high electric field strength in the bulk of the device in the blocking state, so as to reduce the electric field in the gate oxide, especially in the gate oxide at the bottom of the trench 109, and prevent the gate oxide from breaking down.
As an example, the first doping type is N-type and the second doping type is P-type.
In other examples, the first doping type may be P-type and the second doping type may be N-type.

As an example, forming the gate dielectric layer 111 includes the following steps:
4-1) forming a layer of film on the surface of the epitaxial layer 103;
