Description

Super junction device and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a super junction device. The invention also relates to a manufacturing method of the super junction device.
Background
The super junction is composed of alternately arranged P-type thin layers also called P-type pillars (pilar) and N-type thin layers also called N-type pillars (N-type pillars) formed in a semiconductor substrate, and the device using the super junction is a super junction device such as a super junction MOSFET. The in vivo surface electric field (Resurf) reduction technology utilizing the charge balance of the P-type thin layer and the N-type thin layer can improve the reverse breakdown voltage of the device and keep smaller on-resistance.
The PN-spaced pilar structure of the superjunction is the biggest feature of the superjunction. There are two main methods for manufacturing the PN-spaced pilar structure, one is obtained by multiple epitaxy and ion implantation, and the other is manufactured by deep trench etching and Epitaxial (EPI) filling. The latter method is to manufacture a super junction device by a trench process, and it is necessary to etch a trench with a certain depth and width on an N-type doped epitaxial layer on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, such as a silicon substrate, and then fill a P-type doped silicon epitaxial layer on the etched trench by using an epitaxial Filling (EPI) method.
When the super junction is manufactured through deep trench, namely super junction trench etching and epitaxial filling processes, defects are easily formed in bulk silicon close to the surface due to the influence of epitaxial layer steps such as silicon steps (Step silicon) near the surface of the super junction trench, so that leakage failure of a device is caused.
In the prior art, a P-type body region is formed in a super junction device such as a super junction MOSFET, the P-type body region is formed by ion implantation and annealing and pushing after the trench of the super junction is filled, the bottom of the P-type body region is an N-type drift region corresponding to an N-type column, and a body diode is formed between the P-type body region and the N-type drift region. The vast majority of surface defects can be removed from the depletion region by deepening the depth of the P-type body region, so that the electric leakage of the device can be well improved. That is, if the adverse effects of surface defects of the superjunction need to be shielded, a deeper P-type body region is required.
In superjunction devices, the surface of the P-type body region is typically used to form a channel, and in particular, the surface of the P-type body region covered by a gate structure is used to form a channel. Because of the complex fabrication process of the Pillar (pilar) structures of the superjunction, i.e., the P-type Pillar and the N-type Pillar, the gate structure is typically placed after the fabrication of the Pillar structure is completed; the P-type body region is formed after the gate structure is formed. The existing processes of forming the columnar structure of the super junction, forming the grid structure and forming the P-type body region firstly have the following contradiction:
deep P-type body regions are required to shield the effect of surface defects of the superjunction, but the deep P-type body regions require a large thermal process, i.e., the temperature of the thermal anneal drive-in can be high and can be long; however, after the columnar structure is formed, a large thermal process is not desirable, because the large thermal process causes the P-type column impurities and the N-type column impurities in the columnar structure to diffuse into each other and compensate each other to reduce the net doping concentration, and thus the device performance may deteriorate greatly.
