The structure of the shielded gate trench type MOSFET is divided into an upper part and a lower part, the lower part of the trench is filled with polysilicon as a source electrode, the upper part of the trench is filled with polysilicon as a gate electrode, and the gate electrode, the source electrode and the trench are isolated by oxide layers. The method is characterized in that polycrystalline silicon filled in the source electrode groove only occupies about half of the inner space of the groove, so that a source electrode contact hole can be contacted with the polycrystalline silicon filled at the lower part of the groove only by being made deeper. Depositing an oxide layer on a silicon substrate as a hard mask, defining a pattern on the hard mask by using photoresist, removing the photoresist, etching the substrate by using the pattern defined by the hard mask to form a groove, chamfering the groove, depositing an oxide layer, filling the groove with a first layer of polycrystalline silicon, performing back etching to form a source electrode, depositing a thick oxide layer, and forming an inter-polycrystalline silicon oxide film after CMP and wet process etching; and depositing polysilicon, etching to form a grid, and finally performing subsequent processes such as body region injection and propulsion, source electrode injection and propulsion, interlayer dielectric deposition and the like.
When a 100V shielded gate trench type MOSFET product is used for manufacturing an inter-polysilicon dielectric layer, because a liner oxide layer on the side wall of a trench is thin, the top edge of the trench becomes rounded after the deposition of the inter-polysilicon dielectric layer, namely, the inner wall of the trench gradually and smoothly transitions upwards to the silicon surface at the top of the trench, as shown in FIG. 1, the top edge of the trench formed under the prior art process is microscopically schematic, and the corner rounding of the top of the trench and the vertical appearance are damaged are shown in a dotted frame in the figure. The feature is implanted into the junction deep and deep when the channel source region is implanted subsequently, so that the problems of short channel and the like are caused, and the saturated leakage current I of the display device is displayed when the probe test is carried out on the rear sectionDSSLarge and threshold voltage VthInstability and the like. Therefore, we need the top corner of the trench to be as close to 90 ° as possible to the ideal.

Detailed Description
The invention relates to a process method for a groove of a shielded gate groove type MOSFET, which mainly aims at a polysilicon filling process of the groove of the shielded gate groove type MOSFET and mainly solves the problem that the top of the groove is chamfered after a polysilicon interlayer dielectric layer of the groove is deposited.
The invention relates to a process method for shielding a groove of a grid groove type MOSFET, which comprises the following process steps:
first, as shown in fig. 2, a hard mask layer is deposited on a semiconductor substrate, such as a silicon substrate or an epitaxial layer, in this embodiment, an ONO layer is used as an example of the hard mask layer, i.e., an oxide layer-a nitride layer-an oxide layer are sequentially deposited on a surface of the semiconductor substrate to form an ONO composite layer. Etching and patterning the hard mask layer, etching the semiconductor substrate by taking the patterned hard mask layer as a shield to form a plurality of grooves (only one groove is shown in the figure of the embodiment), forming a dielectric layer in the grooves and depositing and filling polysilicon, and forming a lower electrode in the groove after back etching is completed;
step two, as shown in fig. 3, depositing a protective dielectric layer on the upper half part of the groove; preferably, APCVD is adopted for deposition, and the formed protective dielectric layer is attached to the upper surface of the polysilicon on the upper part of the groove, including the side wall of the hard mask layer and the inner lower part of the groove. Forming a protective dielectric layer with a thickness of

Such as
Figure BDA0002561628070000032
Some thermal annealing steps are also performed after the deposition is completed.
Step three, as shown in fig. 4, a layer of inter-polysilicon layer oxide is integrally deposited in the trench; the deposited inter-polysilicon oxide layer fills the trench and is deposited entirely on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, covering the ONO hard mask layer entirely.
Step four, as shown in fig. 5, a CMP process is performed on the deposited inter-polysilicon oxide layer; and grinding downwards from the surface of the deposited film to the surface of the nitride layer in the ONO layer by taking the nitride layer in the hard mask layer as a grinding termination point.
Step five, continuing to perform a wet etching process on the inter-polysilicon-layer oxide layer, and etching the remaining silicon nitride layer and the oxide layer in the hard mask and the deposited inter-polysilicon-layer oxide layer, including removing the protective dielectric layer on the side wall of the trench, as shown in fig. 6; the rest inter-polysilicon oxide layer in the trench reaches the designed thickness and becomes an isolation dielectric layer between the upper polysilicon and the lower polysilicon.
According to the process, before the inter-polysilicon oxide layer is deposited, a protective oxide layer is formed on the inner wall of the groove, the subsequent inter-polysilicon oxide layer deposition process is placed to enable the top corner of the groove to be rounded, and when a source region is injected due to the rounded corner, the injection junction is too deep, so that a short channel effect is caused. The invention deposits the protective layer to protect the side wall of the groove, and ensures that the shape of the top of the groove is not influenced, thereby obtaining the top of the groove with almost right angle and improving the performance of the device.
As shown in fig. 7, which is a cross-sectional micrograph of a trench formed after the inventive process, the dashed box in the figure shows that the top corner of the trench is nearly a 90 ° right angle, with a significant improvement in top topography compared to fig. 1.
