Description

Complex super-junction semiconductor device based on cylindrical super-junction region and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and particularly relates to a complex super-junction semiconductor device based on a cylindrical super-junction area and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The power semiconductor device is a basic and core device of power electronic technology, the breakdown voltage and the switching speed are improved due to the VDMOS structure, and the device structure is used up to now due to the advantages that the conducting direction is vertical to the silicon surface and the VDMOS structure is used as a multi-sub device.
The high withstand voltage performance of the power device requires that the VDMOS has a thicker and low-concentration drift region, but the low doping ensures that the carrier concentration of the drift degree of the device under the conduction condition is not high, so that the on-resistance is increased, and the on-state power consumption is improved. Researches show that the proportional relation of 2.5 power exists between the off-state breakdown voltage and the on-state on-resistance of the device, and in order to solve the contradiction, the concept of 'super junction' is provided. Based on achieving charge balance in the off state, a structure using alternating n-regions and p-regions instead of the original lightly doped region as a drift region is called a super junction. Under the forward bias mode, the highly doped n column in the super junction semiconductor device provides enough current carriers for conducting current, low on-resistance is guaranteed, and under the reverse mode, the depletion region extends between the n column and the p column along the transverse direction to form an intrinsic semiconductor-like structure, so that high reverse breakdown voltage can be obtained despite high doping concentration in the n region. The super junction semiconductor device is generally designed for high voltage applications, and the resistance in the N-type epitaxial layer controls the on-resistance, so that the super junction semiconductor device can be improved for better performance, and the IGBT is widely used as a high breakdown voltage switching element in an inverter circuit. IGBTs have characteristics of bipolar transistors such as high breakdown voltage and low on-voltage, and superior characteristics of being able to operate at high speed, which are important semiconductor elements supporting current power electronics, despite the speed lower than that of MOSFETs. Since one reverse breakdown voltage junction, i.e., the collector junction, of the IGBT generally cannot flow current in the opposite direction, when the IGBT is turned from the on state to the forward blocking state, a great reverse voltage may be generated to cause the device to break down, and thus, a diode may be connected in parallel with the IGBT.
However, this parallel configuration has limitations in increasing switching speed, such as increasing reverse recovery time and decreasing switching speed.

This embodiment has increased two-layer buffer layer in the device, first buffer layer, second buffer layer promptly, controls to satisfy between the two-layer buffer layer: the doping concentration of the first buffer layer is greater than that of the N-type epitaxial layer, the doping concentration of the second buffer layer is less than that of the N-type epitaxial layer, so that reverse recovery time is prolonged by prolonging carrier discharge time, a soft recovery waveform is formed, and further reverse recovery current and reverse recovery time can be reduced by relaxing a hard recovery waveform during reverse recovery operation to obtain high-speed switching and reduce loss.

In the present embodiment, each P-type column region 6 and the N-type epitaxial layer 5 form a P/N super junction region, and a depletion layer is formed at a contact position of each P-type column region 6 and the N-type epitaxial layer 5. The distance between the lower part of each P-type column region 6 and the second buffer layer 4 is at least 3 μm, so that the lower part of each P-type column region 6 and N+The distance between the lower surface 14 of the substrate region 2 and the N-type column region 6 is not more than 25 μm+The distance between the lower surfaces 14 of the substrate regions 2 is small and the on-state or forward resistance is determined by the resistance of the N-epi 5, since the P-type column regions 6 allow for a relatively high doping concentration in the N-epi 5 and a relatively low resistance of the N-epi 5 layer.

s1 at N+A first buffer layer 3 and a second buffer layer 4 are grown in sequence on the substrate region 2.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 3a again, the present embodiment adopts the trench embedding method to form a heavily doped 2 × 10 trench with a thickness of 5 μm to 7 μm18cm-3~5×1018cm-3N of (A)+The substrate layer 2 is epitaxially grown in sequence with the thickness of 10-12 mu m and the doping concentration of 1 multiplied by 1016cm-3~1×1017cm-3And an N-type first buffer layer 3 having a thickness of 4 to 6 μm and a doping concentration of 1 x 1015cm-3~8×1015cm-3The N-type second buffer layer 4. The buffer layer is usually grown by an epitaxial growth method which is too slow in epitaxial growth speed and requires high requirements for maintaining a pure epitaxial layer, and the conventional epitaxial growth method requires an additional process for maintaining N+The purity of the substrate region 2. Although the trench embedding method is adopted in the embodiment, the trench embedding is not so harsh relative to the environment required by epitaxial growth, the trench embedding method adopted in the embodiment can improve the formation speed of the first buffer layer 3 and the second buffer layer 4, reduce the defect density, stress and bending degree of epitaxial growth, and overcome the problems that the epitaxial growth speed is too slow and the requirement for maintaining a pure epitaxial layer is too high in the conventional method, and furthermore, the embodiment forms a carrier library by adjusting the doping concentration and thickness of the first buffer layer 3 and the second buffer layer 4, so as to be used for subsequently controlling the reverse recovery time and the switching speed of the device.
And S2, growing the N-type epitaxial layer 5 on the second buffer layer 4.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 3b again, in this embodiment, a single crystal semiconductor is epitaxially grown on the upper surface of the N-type first buffer layer 3 to a thickness of 60 μm to 100 μm and a doping concentration of 3 × 1015cm-3~2×1016cm-3And an N-type epitaxial layer 5. Wherein the single crystal lattice of the N-type epitaxial layer 5 and N are grown by a method of epitaxially growing a single crystal semiconductor layer+Single crystal aligned growth of the substrate region 2; in the preparation processThe requirements among the first buffer layer 3, the second buffer layer 4 and the N-type epitaxial layer 5 are as follows: the doping concentration of the first buffer layer 3 is greater than that of the N-type epitaxial layer 5, and the doping concentration of the second buffer layer 4 is less than that of the N-type epitaxial layer 5.
And S3, forming a plurality of P-type column regions 6 distributed at intervals in the N-type epitaxial layer 5.

The P-type conductivity impurity includes, but is not limited to, boron and indium.
The present embodiment can control the lifetime of carriers by controlling the carrier concentration of the N-type buffer layer in order to accelerate the disappearance of carriers in the diode in the reverse recovery operation, reduce the peak current and the reverse recovery time during the reverse recovery, and reduce the loss during the reverse recovery.

Therefore, the present embodiment employs a method of locally controlling the lifetime by adding a heavy metal (e.g., gold or platinum) that can be added to the second buffer layer 4 by ion implantation from the source region side surface and heat treatment and/or irradiating charged particles (e.g., protons), which enables uniform doping of the doping carriers in the second buffer layer 4; similarly, the first buffer layer 3 is formed by adding heavy metal or irradiating charged particles, and the heavy metal ions and/or charged particles are irradiated from the front surface of the first buffer layer 3, thereby achieving uniform doping of the doping carriers in the first buffer layer 3.
