Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" other elements or layers, it can be directly on, adjacent to, connected or coupled to the other elements or layers or intervening elements or layers may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to" or "directly coupled to" other elements or layers, there are no intervening elements or layers present. It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present invention.
Spatial relational terms such as "under," "below," "under," "above," "over," and the like may be used herein for convenience in describing the relationship of one element or feature to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, then elements or features described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary terms "under" and "under" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatial descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.
Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the invention. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments of the invention should not be limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an implanted region shown as a rectangle will typically have rounded or curved features and/or implant concentration gradients at its edges rather than a binary change from implanted to non-implanted region. Also, a buried region formed by implantation may result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface through which the implantation is performed. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
As used herein, the term semiconductor is used in the art to distinguish between P-type and N-type impurities, and for example, P + type represents P-type with heavy doping concentration, P-type represents P-type with medium doping concentration, P-type represents P-type with light doping concentration, N + type represents N-type with heavy doping concentration, N-type represents N-type with medium doping concentration, and N-type represents N-type with light doping concentration.
Fig. 1 is a top view of an active region 200 of a transistor and a termination structure 300, the termination structure 300 annularly surrounding the active region 200 of the transistor in plan view. The terminal structure 300 has the functions of ensuring the reverse breakdown voltage of the device and improving the reverse breakdown reliability.
Referring collectively to fig. 2, the termination structure 300 includes a substrate, a cutoff ring 26 on the substrate, and a plurality of voltage divider rings 24 on the substrate. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the substrate includes a base 10 and an epitaxial layer 12 on the base 10, each of the grading rings 24 is extended downward from the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12 by a certain depth, and each of the grading rings 24 is disposed between a stopper ring 26 and a main node 22 (the main node 22 is located at the boundary between the active region 200 and the terminal structure 300). The termination structure 300 also includes a plurality of trench polysilicon field plates 42 distributed in the substrate between the grading ring 24b (the grading ring 24b being the grading ring closest to the main ring 22) and the stop ring 26. The trench polysilicon field plates 42 are structures filled with polysilicon in the trenches, and in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, each trench polysilicon field plate 42 extends downward from the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12 by a certain depth, and no more than one trench polysilicon field plate 42 is provided between every two adjacent voltage dividing rings 24. In one embodiment, the substrate 10 is a silicon wafer, the substrate 10 and the epitaxial layer 12 are both of the first conductivity type, and each of the voltage divider rings 24 mainly functions to raise the back-pressure level of the second conductivity type impurity to the curved junction of the first conductivity type impurity in the device to the planar junction state of the epitaxial layer 12 doped with the first conductivity type.
In one embodiment, the shunt ring 24 is of the opposite conductivity type to the cutoff ring 26, the cutoff ring 26 having a first conductivity type, and the shunt ring 24 having a second conductivity type. In the present embodiment, the first conductivity type is N-type, and the second conductivity type is P-type; in another embodiment, the first conductivity type may be P-type and the second conductivity type may be N-type.
According to the terminal structure of the transistor, the traditional horizontal polycrystalline silicon field plate scheme is replaced by the groove polycrystalline silicon field plate, the groove polycrystalline silicon field plate introduces an electric field peak into the substrate/epitaxial layer, the back pressure capability (reverse breakdown voltage) is guaranteed, the voltage withstanding effect similar to that of the horizontal polycrystalline silicon field plate can be achieved, the voltage dividing ring distance can be reduced on the premise that the same voltage withstanding effect as that of the traditional scheme is guaranteed, the whole size of the terminal structure can be shortened, and better terminal cost performance and economy are embodied. The traditional scheme is limited by the fact that the terminal is long in size, low in cost performance and large in whole chip size, and is not beneficial to upgrading and updating of products and the national concept of energy conservation and emission reduction. In order to embody the high reliability, the low price and the high cost performance of a terminal structure without increasing other cost, a horizontal polycrystalline silicon field plate is replaced by a vertically arranged groove polycrystalline silicon field plate, the application effect of the field plate is not changed, the space between voltage division rings can be properly shortened after the polycrystalline silicon field plate is vertically arranged, the overall size length of a terminal can be reduced by 20-50%, and the terminal structure has strong terminal economy.

In one embodiment, the polysilicon in the trench polysilicon field plate 42 is doped polysilicon. In one embodiment, the depth of the trench polysilicon field plate 42 is 0.5-50 μm, the width of the field plate (i.e. the length in the left-right direction in FIG. 2) is 0.1-2.0 μm, and the resistivity of the doped polysilicon is 1-100 Ω/□. In one embodiment, the doped polysilicon is doped with the first conductivity type.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, a trench polysilicon field plate 42 is disposed at the midpoint of each two adjacent voltage divider rings 24, and a trench polysilicon field plate 42, which is named as a first field plate, is also disposed between the voltage divider ring 24a (the voltage divider ring 24a is the closest voltage divider ring to the stop ring 26) and the stop ring 26.
In one embodiment, the first field plate is spaced from the first voltage divider ring 24a by less than one-half of the cutoff spacing and by more than the spacing between a trench polysilicon field plate 42 nearest the first field plate and the voltage divider ring 24c (voltage divider ring 24c is the voltage divider ring nearest the first voltage divider ring 24 a). The cutoff distance indicates the distance between the voltage dividing ring 24a and the cutoff ring 26.

In one embodiment, the second voltage divider ring 24b is spaced from the main junction 22 by a smaller distance than the ring spacing of all other adjacent voltage divider rings 24, i.e., the second voltage divider ring 24b is spaced from the main junction 22 by a shorter distance, so the arrangement of the first metal field plate 44a in a parallel field plate configuration will better improve the peak electric field at the main junction 22.
In one embodiment, the length of the first metal field plate 44a is greater than or equal to 1 micron and less than or equal to the spacing between the main junction 22 and the second voltage divider ring 24 b. It will be appreciated that a first metal field plate 44a that is too short will be ineffective, and that it will be ineffective if too long, such as extending to the second divider ring 24 b.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the termination structure of the transistor further includes a second metal field plate 44b, and the second metal field plate 44b is electrically connected to the stop ring 26 and extends from the stop ring 26 to the first voltage divider ring 24a, so as to achieve the effect of equipotential stop. In one embodiment, the length of the second metal field plate 44b is less than one-half of the cutoff spacing.
In one embodiment, the first metal field plate 44a and the second metal field plate 44b are 1-10 μm thick.
In one embodiment, the ring pitch of each of the voltage divider rings 24 gradually increases at a step from the inside to the outside (i.e., from the main structure 22 toward the cut-off ring 26). The variation value of the ring spacing can be obtained by certain formula or simulation calculation.
In one embodiment, the junction depth of each grading ring 24 is greater than or equal to 1 μm and the width is greater than or equal to 1 μm; wherein the width refers to the length in the left-right direction in fig. 2.
In one embodiment, the stop ring 26 has a junction depth of 0.2 μm or more and a width of 0.2 μm or more; wherein the width refers to the length in the left-right direction in fig. 2.
The present application further provides a method for manufacturing a transistor termination structure, which can be used to manufacture the transistor termination structure according to any of the above embodiments. FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of a method for fabricating a transistor termination structure in one embodiment, including:

In one embodiment, the substrate is a semiconductor epitaxial silicon wafer of a first conductivity type having two opposing major surfaces and having a first silicon oxide layer, i.e., a screen oxide layer, formed on the first major surface. In one embodiment, the screen oxide layer is thermally grown to a thickness of 0.01 μm to 5 μm. The embodiment selectively etches the first silicon oxide layer by photoetching to define a voltage division ring doping window. In one embodiment, the step of high temperature thermal growth to form the screen oxide layer is a separate process operation. In one embodiment, the lithography of the strap doping windows is formed as a separate lithography process step.
