Description
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular relates to a trench etching method, a silicon carbide device manufacturing method and a silicon carbide device.
Background
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a novel wide forbidden band semiconductor material, has the advantages of high heat conductivity, high breakdown field strength, high saturation speed and the like, and is very suitable for manufacturing high-temperature high-power semiconductor devices. The silicon carbide-based power device can greatly exert the characteristics of high temperature, high frequency and low loss, so that the silicon carbide-based power device has great application prospect in the aspects of high voltage, high temperature, high frequency, high power, strong radiation and the like. The silicon carbide Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) has the characteristics of low on-resistance, high switching speed, high temperature resistance and the like, and has great application advantages in the fields of high-voltage frequency conversion, new energy automobiles, rail transit and the like.
However, in the SiC MOSFET device with the conventional planar gate structure, a PIN diode is parasitic in the cell structure in addition to the MOS structure, and the turn-on of the PIN diode may cause a "bipolar degradation" phenomenon, which seriously affects the reliability of the MOSFET device in long-term use. In order to suppress the turn-on of the PIN diode in the SiC MOSFET device, a schottky barrier diode (Schottky Barrier Diode, SBD) is conventionally used in anti-parallel with the MOSFET device as its freewheel diode. However, in the chip manufacturing process, the anti-parallel MOSFET and the SBD increase manufacturing procedures, prolong manufacturing time and increase manufacturing cost; in addition, the increase of working procedures increases the risk of the manufacturing process and reduces the yield of products; in addition, conventional anti-parallel coupling introduces redundant bond wires into the device, which increases redundant stray inductance during device use, resulting in degradation of the device electrical performance. However, in the existing silicon carbide device integrated with the SBD, it is difficult to realize the optimal trade-off relationship between on-state current and blocking voltage after the integration of the MOSFET device and the SBD.

Detailed steps of an exemplary method for etching a trench according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 1 and 2 to 6.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for etching a trench in this embodiment includes the following steps:
step S101: as shown in fig. 2, a first conductivity-type silicon carbide substrate 101 is provided, and a first conductivity-type drift layer 102 is formed over the substrate 101.

Step S103: a photoresist mask layer 104 is formed over the oxide layer 103, and the photoresist mask layer 104 is subjected to patterning process to form a first etching window 105 on the photoresist mask layer 104.
Specifically, the photoresist mask layer 104 is patterned by an exposure and development process, wherein the photoresist thickness is 1.6 to 1.8 μm, and the width of the first etching window 105 is 0.8 μm. After development, a hardening process is also required to pattern the photoresist mask layer 104.
Step S104: as shown in fig. 3, through the first etching window 105, the oxide layer 103 under the first etching window 105 is etched using a wet etching process to form a second etching window 106 on the oxide layer 103.
Specifically, in the wet etching process, the etching solution used is a BOE solution, and in the wet etching process, the second etching window 106 formed has no certain inclination angle and has a side corrosion phenomenon because the BOE solution is corroded to have isotropy.
Step S105: as shown in fig. 4, the photoresist mask layer 104 is removed, chemical mechanical planarization is performed on the oxide layer 103, so as to remove the oxide layer 103 with a preset thickness and optimize the second etching window 106, thereby forming a third etching window 107 with an isosceles trapezoid shape on the remaining oxide layer 103; wherein the sidewall of the third etching window 107 has an inclination angle of 130 ° to 140 ° with respect to the bottom thereof.
Specifically, in order to form an etching window of a predetermined inclination angle at a predetermined position, after removing the photoresist mask layer 104, the oxide layer 103 of a predetermined thickness (about 1.2 μm) of the surface layer of the oxide layer 103 is then removed by a chemical mechanical planarization (Chemical Mechanical Planarization, CMP) technique, while an effect of optimizing the second etching window 106 is achieved, and an upper portion (irregular portion) of the second etching window 106 is removed, thereby forming a third etching window 107 of an isosceles trapezoid shape having a predetermined inclination angle on the remaining oxide layer 103 (about 0.8 μm).

Since the dry etching is anisotropic etching, the drift layer 102 is etched through the third etching window 107, so that the trench 108 having an isosceles trapezoid shape with an inclination angle identical to that of the third etching window 107 can be obtained, the inclination angle θ of the side wall of the trench 108 with respect to the bottom thereof is also 130 ° to 140 °, and the depth of the trench 108 is 1 to 2 μm. That is, the pattern on the oxide layer 103 can be transferred onto the drift layer 102 by a dry etching process.

Step S107: as shown in fig. 6, the remaining oxide layer 103 is removed.
Specifically, a wet etch process may be used to remove the remaining oxide layer 103 (about 0.8 μm).
The present embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide device, in which a trench 108 having an inclination angle of 130 ° to 140 ° in the form of an isosceles trapezoid is formed in the surface of a drift layer 102 by an etching method combining wet etching, chemical mechanical planarization and dry etching.

And because the rest of the shielding region 206 is located below the trench 212, the second conductivity type shielding region 206 is arranged in the local area where the schottky metal layer 217 contacts with the drift layer 202, so that the leakage current of the schottky junction in reverse bias is reduced, and the electrical performance of the device is improved.
Step S210: as shown in fig. 16, a source briquette metal layer 218 is formed over source metal layer 216, and over schottky metal layer 217 and within trench 212; wherein the schottky metal layer 217 and the source metal layer 216 form an electrical connection through the source briquette metal layer 218, and the gate 214 is isolated from the source briquette metal layer 218 by the interlayer dielectric layer 215.
Specifically, an AlSi alloy layer is sputtered on the front side of the silicon carbide wafer to form a source briquetting metal layer 218 over the source metal layer 216, over the schottky metal layer 217 and within the trench 212, so that the schottky metal layer 217 and the source metal layer 216 are electrically connected through the source briquetting metal layer 218, even though the schottky metal layer 217 of the SBD and the source metal layer 216 of the MOSFET are effectively connected, achieving the technical effect of integrating the SBD in the MOSFET device.
In the embodiment, the SBD is integrated in the silicon carbide device, so that the module is packaged without additionally packaging the SBD, the cost is reduced, and the parasitic inductance is reduced.
The thickness of the source compact metal layer 218 is 2-6 μm.
After step S210, the method further includes the following steps: the substrate 201 is subjected to thinning processing.
Specifically, the front surface of the wafer needs to be glued or waxed for protection before the thinning process. The thinned wafer has a thickness of 120-280 μm, the thinned substrate 201 has a roughness of 4-10 nm, and the absolute value of the thinned wafer warpage is less than 80 μm.

Specifically, ni metal is sputtered as the drain metal layer 219 on the thinned substrate 201, and laser annealing treatment is performed to form good ohmic contact between the drain metal layer 219 and the substrate 201. Wherein the thickness of the drain metal layer 219 is 50 to 500nm.
After step S211, the method further includes the steps of: on the basis of the drain metal layer 219, metal thickening is performed.
The specific thickening metal is at least one of Ti, ni, ag, au, al, generally Ti/Ni/Ag combination, and the thickness of the thickening metal is 0.2-3 mu m.
