Description

一种碳化硅MOSFET器件的元胞结构及功率半导体器件
技术领域
本发明涉及功率半导体器件领域,尤其涉及一种集成了肖特基二极管(SBD)的碳化硅金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(MOSFET)器件的元胞结构及功率半导体器件。
背景技术
随着节能减排、新能源并网、智能电网的发展,第三代半导体碳化硅(SiC)功率器件日益得到重视,其主要优势在于其击穿电场强度是传统硅器件的10倍,或相同电压/电流等级下,比导通电阻是硅器件的近千分之一。SiC器件开关频率是硅器件的20倍,可减小电路中储能元件的体积。理论上,SiC器件可以在600摄氏度以上的高温环境下工作,且具有优异的抗辐射性能,可大大提高系统的可靠性。
然而受限于现有制程技术,在碳化硅双极器件中的双极退化现象会导致器件载流子寿命显著降低并使器件的压降增大、反向偏置漏电流增大,不利于碳化硅器件的可靠性。现有的平面栅N型沟道结构MOSFET还寄生了一个体二极管,如图1,包括:N+衬底层101、N-漂移区102、P阱区103、N+源区104、P+区105、JFET区106、栅极氧化层107、栅极多晶硅108、源极金属109、漏极金属110、体PIN二极管111。
在MOSFET反向偏置时,为抑制体二极管开启引起双极退化,需采用SBD与MOSFET反并联使用,作为其续流二极管。正常情况下,在芯片级别反并联SBD会增加模块封装的成本并会在SBD端引入额外的键合线及杂散电感,导致模块电气性能的下降。
发明内容
本发明所要解决的技术问题之一是平面栅N型沟道结构碳化硅MOSFET寄生了一个体二极管,体二极管开通时会引起器件的双极退化,导致器件载流子寿命显著降低,并使器件的压降增大、反向偏置漏电流增大,不利于碳化硅器件的可靠性。

为了解决上述技术问题,本发明提供了一种具有三维结构的碳化硅MOSFET器件的元胞结构及功率半导体器件,在元胞级别集成了SBD,改善了碳化硅双极退化现象,提高了芯片可靠性,并降低了模块封装成本,提高了模块电气特性。

增强区在漂移区3表面从阱区4内元胞结构表面纵向的起始端延伸至元胞结构表面纵向的末端,相应地,栅极绝缘层8在第一JFET区51、阱区4未被所述增强区覆盖表面及第一导电类型增强区6表面上沿元胞结构表面纵向的起始端延伸至元胞结构表面纵向的末端,源极金属10在增强区表面上沿元胞结构表面纵向的起始端延伸至元胞结构表面纵向的末端。
肖特基金属11与第二JFET区52掺杂区域进行错位的间隔设置,肖特基金属11的边界可设置为与第二JFET区52掺杂区域的边界接触或接近,可降低SBD导通电阻。由于肖特基金属下方并没有设置JFET掺杂区,可以降低SBD反向偏置时的漏电流,以实现SBD通态电阻与反向偏置漏电流之间较好的折中关系。
本实施例中,第一JFET区51和阱区4在漂移区3沿元胞结构表面纵向起始端延伸至元胞结构表面纵向的末端,由于把SBD集成于MOSFET元胞结构的JFET区,进而提高了器件的面积利用率,增加了器件整体功率密度。
在衬底2下方还设置有漏极金属12。
漏极金属12、第一导电类型衬底层2、第一导电类型漂移区3、第二导电类型阱区4、肖特基金属11即构成了MOSFET元胞内置的SBD,可以用作MOSFET反偏时的续流二极管,使得MOSFET模块封装时无需额外封装SBD,降低了器件的封装成本,同时也减少了因键合引线产生的寄生电感。同时由于在元胞内集成了SBD,提高了MOSFET器件体二极管的开启电压,改善了MOSFET器件电特性退化情况,提高了器件可靠性。
此外,根据器件的具体应用场合或者基于不同的设计考虑,肖特基金属11还能设置为覆盖在源极金属10上方进行连接,或者肖特基金属11设置为与源极金属10分离,并通过元胞结构表面的二次金属进行连接。
综上所述,
1、本实施例提供了一种三维结构的碳化硅MOSFET元胞结构,通过在元胞级别集成SBD,用作器件反偏时的续流二极管,有效抑制了体二极管的开启,改善了MOSFET器件电特性退化情况,提高了器件可靠性,
2、本实施例通过将SBD集成于MOSFET元胞结构的的P+增强区之间,SBD部分和MOSFET部分共用部分有源区和终端区面积,提高了器件面积利用率,增加了器件整体功率密度,而肖特基金属与JFET掺杂区域在三维方向进行间隔设置,优化了各区域的分布,降低了SBD导通电阻以及降低SBD反向偏置时的漏电流,实现了较好的折中关系。
