Description

Groove type field effect transistor structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductors, and particularly relates to a trench type field effect transistor structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In the Field of medium and low voltage power MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect transistors), a shielded gate trench MOSFET has the advantages of lower on-resistance, faster switching speed and the like than a conventional trench MOSFET, has lower conduction loss and lower switching loss in system application, and has higher conversion and transmission efficiency. Because the shielding grid trench MOSFET introduces a shielding oxide layer and a shielding grid structure, and the shielding grid is required to be at the same potential as the source electrode of the device, the layout of the grid BUS and the shielding grid BUS is required to be considered during layout design, and the process manufacturing is complex.
However, in some shielded gate trench MOSFET devices, especially for low voltage (20V-60V) shielded gate trench MOSFET devices, if the gate lead-out structure is disposed in the cell region in the device terminal structure, the width of the cell region trench is small (0.3-0.4 um), the photolithography machine used in power device production in China can expose about 0.25um in minimum size, and the alignment accuracy of the photolithography machine is 70nm, then the gate contact hole is easily connected to the nearby source region, resulting in failure of the gate and source short device. And the device is in a blocking mode (the source electrode is in short circuit with the grid electrode and is connected with a low potential, and the drain electrode is connected with a high potential), the high potential of the drain electrode is directly added on the oxide layer between the grid electrode polycrystalline silicon and the epitaxial layer, and the thickness of the oxide layer between the grid electrode polycrystalline silicon and the epitaxial layer is required to be thickened structurally so as to meet the breakdown voltage requirement of the device.

As shown in S1 and S2 of fig. 1 and fig. 2-3, providing a semiconductor substrate 100, and forming an epitaxial layer 101 on the semiconductor substrate 100, wherein the epitaxial layer 101 includes a device region 101a and a gate lead-out region 101b; and forming a first trench 102 in the device region, and forming a second trench 103 in the gate lead-out region, wherein the opening size of the second trench 103 is larger than that of the first trench 102.
Specifically, the semiconductor substrate 100 may be a substrate of a first doping type, where the first doping type (i.e., the first conductivity type) may be P-type doping or N-type doping, and may be the semiconductor substrate 100 formed by implanting ions of the first doping type (P-type or N-type) into an intrinsic semiconductor substrate by an ion implantation process, where the specific type is set according to actual device requirements, in this example, the first doping type is selected to be an N-type doping substrate, and in addition, in one example, the first doping type may be a heavily doped substrate, for example, the concentration of the ions of the first doping type doped in the semiconductor substrate 100 may be greater than or equal to 1 × 10 19 /cm 3 . Note that the semiconductor substrate 100 may be a silicon substrate or a silicon germanium substrateA base, a silicon carbide substrate, etc., in this example, the semiconductor substrate 100 is selected to be N ++ A type-doped silicon substrate, such as may be 0.001-0.003ohm cm. The first doping type and the subsequently mentioned second doping type (i.e. the second conductivity type) are opposite doping (conductivity) types, and when the first doping type (the first conductivity type) semiconductor is an N-type semiconductor and the second doping type (the second conductivity type) semiconductor is a P-type semiconductor, the trench MOSFET device of the present invention is an N-type device; conversely, the trench MOSFET device of the present invention is a P-type device.
In addition, in an example, a doping type of the epitaxial layer 101 is the same as a doping type of the semiconductor substrate 100, and in an optional example, a doping concentration of the epitaxial layer 101 is lower than a doping concentration of the semiconductor substrate 100, wherein an epitaxial process may be first used to form a characteristic epitaxial layer on an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 of the first doping type, and then ions of the first doping type are implanted into the intrinsic epitaxial layer through an ion implantation process to form the epitaxial layer 101 of the first doping type; in another example, the epitaxial layer 101 of the first doping type may also be epitaxially formed directly on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 of the first doping type using an epitaxial process. In this example, the epitaxial layer 101 is selected to be an N-type single crystal silicon epitaxial layer.
Specifically, the first trench 102 and the second trench 103 may be formed by photolithography and etching processes, and optionally, both may be prepared based on the same mask, wherein the second trench 103 is prepared in the gate lead-out region 101b, that is, in a region outside the device region 101a, so that the width of the trench of the gate lead-out structure may be increased without being limited by charge balance limitation in a cell region, so as to match with exposure capability of a photolithography machine and alignment precision of a photolithography machine, if the gate lead-out structure is arranged in the cell region in a device termination structure, the width of the trench of the cell region is small (0.3-0.4 um), the photolithography machine can expose a minimum size of about 0.25um, and the alignment precision of the photolithography machine is 70nm, so that a gate contact hole is easily connected to a nearby source region, which may cause failure of a gate and source shorting device, and the second trench 103 (used for subsequently preparing the gate lead-out structure) is prepared in the region outside the device region 101a, so that the second trench 103 may be made wide, and it may be beneficial to further increase the thickness of an oxide layer between the gate lead-out layer and the epitaxial layer. In an alternative example, the width of the second trench 103 is between 2 and 4 times the width of the first trench 102, and may be selected to be 2.5 times, 3 times or 3.5 times. In addition, the number and the arrangement relationship of the first trenches 102 and the second trenches 103 are set according to practical situations, for example, the number may be a plurality of first stripe-shaped trenches 102 arranged in parallel at intervals and a plurality of second stripe-shaped trenches 103 arranged in parallel at intervals.
As shown in S3 in fig. 1 and fig. 4-6, a shielding gate dielectric layer 110, a shielding gate layer 107, a first extraction gate dielectric layer 111, and a first extraction gate layer 108 are formed, where the shielding gate dielectric layer 110 is formed on an inner wall of the first trench 102, the shielding gate layer 107 is formed on a surface of the shielding gate dielectric layer 110, and the shielding gate layer 107 at least fills a bottom of the first trench 102, that is, the shielding gate dielectric layer 110 is formed between the inner wall of the first trench 102 and the shielding gate layer 107; forming a first extraction gate dielectric layer 111 on the inner wall of the second trench 103, forming a first extraction gate layer 108 on the surface of the first extraction gate dielectric layer 111, wherein the first extraction gate layer 108 at least fills the bottom of the second trench 103, that is, the first extraction gate dielectric layer 111 is formed between the inner wall of the second trench 103 and the first extraction gate layer 108.
As an example, the steps of forming the shielding gate dielectric layer 110, the shielding gate layer 107, the extraction gate first dielectric layer 111, and the first extraction gate layer 108 include:
as shown in fig. 4, a continuous dielectric material layer 105 is formed on the inner walls of the first trench 102, the inner walls of the second trench 103, and the epitaxial layer 101 around the first trench 102 and the second trench 103.
