Description

Groove type silicon carbide transistor and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a groove type silicon carbide transistor and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of modern electronic technology and its application, power devices have been greatly developed in structure and performance, and especially, power devices represented by silicon (Si) have promoted the rapid development of photoelectronic and microelectronic technologies. However, with the emergence and popularization of technologies such as super junctions, trenches, insulated gate bipolar transistors and the like, the performance of silicon-based power devices has approached the limit of materials, and in many cases, the silicon-based power devices can only work in an environment lower than 250 ℃, especially when the environment simultaneously exists in high temperature, high power, high frequency, extremely strong radiation and the like, the traditional silicon-based power devices cannot meet the working requirements, and each small improvement of the performance of the silicon-based power devices needs to pay a huge cost, which prompts people to find a novel semiconductor material, namely silicon carbide (SiC), with more excellent performance.
The silicon carbide as a third-generation semiconductor material has the outstanding advantages of large forbidden band width, high breakdown field strength, high thermal conductivity, high carrier saturation mobility, strong irradiation resistance and the like, and is particularly suitable for severe application environments such as high temperature, high pressure, large current, high frequency, high irradiation and the like related to modern power electronic systems. In the aspects of design, development and application technology of the silicon carbide power device, compared with a silicon-based power device with the same power voltage level, the on-resistance and the switching loss of the silicon carbide power device are greatly reduced, so that the silicon carbide power device is more suitable for working scenes under the conditions of high working frequency and high temperature. Although silicon carbide power device samples of various voltage classes are emerging, they are still limited by epitaxial material quality and surface treatment processes. With the continuous maturity of key technologies such as epitaxial technology, surface treatment, ion implantation and the like, the bulk defects of the silicon carbide epitaxial material are improved to a great extent, and the surface mobility is gradually improved. For example, patent with publication number CN111276545A discloses a novel trench type silicon carbide transistor and a manufacturing method thereof, which utilizes means such as etching to etch the edge of a main junction into a double-mesa shape on the basis of a MOSFET or an IGBT, and the double-mesa shape is respectively a second conductive type well region mesa and an epitaxial layer mesa, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the morphology of the junction edge in a device, thereby improving the electric field distribution of the surface near the junction, relieving the electric field concentration near the junction edge, improving the reverse breakdown voltage of the device, and improving the voltage resistance and the reliability of the device. However, the patent publication No. CN111276545A discloses that the trench on the substrate is a vertical trench, and the vertical trench type sic transistor is advantageous for high current and high integration devices, but the conventional vertical trench type sic transistor still has the following defects:
(1) because the silicon carbide material has a large forbidden band width, compared with the traditional semiconductor devices such as silicon materials and the like, the inversion layer can be formed only by needing larger gate voltage, the carrier concentration in the inversion layer of the silicon carbide device under the same gate voltage is generally smaller than that of the traditional semiconductor devices, and the excessive gate voltage exceeds the bearing range of the gate oxide layer to cause early breakdown.
(2) The low channel mobility in the vertical channel results in a large channel resistance, reducing the influence of emitter injection effects on the conductance modulation effect in the drift region.
(3) The double-mesa structure has high requirements on processing, complex processing technology and low reliability.
Based on the analysis, the problems that a channel inversion layer of the existing vertical type groove type silicon carbide transistor is difficult to form, channel resistance is overlarge, a gate oxide layer is easy to break down, a processing process is complex, process reliability is poor and the like generally exist. Therefore, there is a need in the art to provide a new trench-type sic transistor and a method for fabricating the same to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art.
