Description

N-substrate groove type GaN insulated gate bipolar transistor
Technical Field

Background

The method comprises the following steps that firstly, the forbidden band width is large, the forbidden band width is 3.39eV and is more than 3 times of the forbidden band width of a silicon material, so that the working temperature of a semiconductor device made of a GaN material can be higher than that of semiconductor materials such as GaAs and Si; the critical breakdown field intensity of the gallium nitride is as high as 3.4MV/cm, which is higher than Si and GaAs by one order of magnitude, so that the gallium nitride device can bear high voltage and high power; the high saturation electron migration velocity reaches 3 multiplied by 107cm/s, which is much larger than semiconductor materials such as GaAs, Si, 4H-SiC and the like, allows the GaN material to be used for manufacturing high-frequency electronic devices; the low dielectric constant, GaN, is smaller than GaAs, Si, and 4H-SiC, which allows the device to operate at high frequencies and speeds.

The invention provides an N substrate groove type GaN IGBT structure only using GaN semiconductor materials, which aims to develop a GaN power switch device with larger output current and higher power and promote the GaN materials to be applied to the field of IGBT devices.

Example 2:
as shown in fig. 2, this embodiment provides an N-substrate trench GaN insulated gate bipolar transistor structure with a buffer layer, which is bilaterally symmetric, and includes a P + collector 1, an N-drift region 2, a P-channel region 3, an N + emitter substrate 4, an insulating dielectric layer 5, a gate metal Al contact region 6, a collector metal contact region 7, an emitter metal contact region i 8, an emitter metal contact region ii 9, and an N-buffer layer 10.
Specifically, in this embodiment, based on the structure of embodiment 1 (fig. 1), only the N-buffer layer 10 is added to the transistor structure, wherein the upper surface of the N-buffer layer 10 contacts the lower surface of the P + collector 1, and the lower surface thereof contacts the upper surface of the N-drift region 2. The N-buffer layer 10 has a thickness of 1 μm and a width of 8 μm, and the doping concentration of the N-buffer layer 10 is selected to be 17 th power.
Example 3:
as shown in FIG. 3, the trench MOS transistor structure with the same size as the IGBT of FIG. 1 has a bilateral symmetry, and the left half structure comprises an N + drain region 11, an N-drift region 2, a P-channel region 3, an N + emitter substrate 4, an insulating dielectric layer 5, a gate metal contact region 6, a collector metal contact region 7, an emitter metal contact region I8 and an emitter metal Ni/Al contact region 9.
Specifically, this embodiment is to replace the P + collector 1 in embodiment 1 (fig. 1) with the N + drain region 11 of the same size.
Fig. 4 shows that T is 300K at room temperature and the concentration in the drift region 2 is 1 × 1016cm-3The doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 multiplied by 1017cm-3In the case of the threshold voltage curves of the IGBT and the MOS transistor in example 1 (shown in fig. 4), the data result obtained by the silver simulation is plotted by the Origin tool, and as can be seen from fig. 4, when the concentration of the P-channel region 3 is the same, the threshold voltage of the IGBT is about 4V, the threshold voltage of the MOS transistor is about 5.5V, and the threshold voltage of the MOS transistor is higher than that of the IGBT by 1.5V.
Fig. 5 shows that T is 300K at room temperature and the concentration in the drift region 2 is 1 × 1016cm-3The doping concentration of the P-channel region 3 is 1 x 1017cm-3In the case of the output characteristic curve of the (IGBT) in example 1, the data result obtained by the Silvaco simulation is plotted by the Origin tool as shown in FIG. 5, and it can be seen from FIG. 5 that V isgWhen the device is started at 2V, an inversion layer is formed on one side of the channel layer at the contact surface of the channel region 3 and the insulating medium layer 5, so that the N-drift region 2 and the N + collector 4 are conducted, electrons move from the N + collector 4 to the N-drift region 2 to form electron current, and the electron current promotes the P + collector 1 to inject the electrons into the N-drift region 2And entering holes to form a conductance modulation effect. As can be seen from fig. 5, after the channel is turned on, the output current increases first and then gradually reaches saturation as the voltage of the P + collector region 1 increases, and the saturation current also gradually increases as the gate voltage increases. It can be seen from the figure that at VdWhen the voltage is less than 3V, no current is formed although the channel is opened, because a PN junction is formed between the P + collector 1 and the N-drift region 2, the current can be formed when the collector voltage is greater than the junction voltage of the PN junction.
FIG. 6 shows the concentration of 1 × 10 in the drift region at room temperature with T300K16cm-3The doping concentration of the channel region is 1 multiplied by 1017cm-3Meanwhile, the same-size groove MOS tube outputs a characteristic curve. It can be seen from fig. 6 that when the channel concentration and the drift region concentration of the IGBT and the MOS transistor of the same size are the same, the same voltage is applied to the gate and the collector, and the maximum output current of the IGBT is about 2.3 times the maximum output current of the MOS transistor, mainly because the IGBT has a P + collector region more than the MOS transistor, when the device is turned on, the IGBT P + collector 1 injects holes into the drift region 2, and a conductance modulation effect occurs in the drift region 2, thereby increasing the output current of the IGBT.
FIG. 7 shows the concentration of 1 × 10 in the drift region at room temperature with T300K16cm-3The doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 multiplied by 1017cm-3When the IGBT is under different gate voltages, the lateral distribution diagram of the electron concentration in the range of the coordinate y being 9 microns, the coordinate x being 9.92 microns and less than or equal to 10.04 microns (shown by a straight line AA' in figure 1), namely the electron concentration at the inversion layer of the channel. As is clear from analysis in conjunction with fig. 5, it is clear that the larger the voltage applied to the gate electrode is, the higher the concentration of electrons at the inversion layer is, and the wider the inversion layer is formed at the side of the channel layer at the boundary between the oxide layer 5 and the channel region 3, so that the larger the number of electrons passing through the channel region per unit time is, the larger the saturation current of electrons is.
Fig. 8 shows that T is 300K at room temperature and the concentration in the drift region 2 is 1 × 1016cm-3The doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 multiplied by 1017cm-3When the MOS tube is under different gate pressures, the coordinate y is 9 μm, and the x is more than or equal to 9.92 μm and less than or equal to 10.05 μm (the straight line A in the figure 8)1A1' shown) within the rangeThe electron concentration lateral profile, i.e. the electron concentration at the channel inversion layer. Obviously, the larger the voltage applied to the gate electrode is, the higher the electron concentration at the inversion layer is, and analysis in conjunction with fig. 6 shows that the higher the electron concentration at the inversion layer is, the larger the saturation current of electrons is. Comparing fig. 7 and fig. 8, it can be seen that, because the threshold voltage of the IGBT is 1.5V less than that of the MOS transistor, the IGBT has a higher electron concentration than the inversion layer at the channel of the MOS transistor under the same gate voltage, and V is the voltage of the inversion layergWhen the voltage is 9V, the electron concentration at the IGBT channel is about 1.8 times that of the MOS transistor, which is also a reason why the IGBT current is larger than that of the MOS transistor at the same gate voltage.
Fig. 9 is a graph showing the forward breakdown voltage of the example 1(IGBT) and the MOS transistor at room temperature with T300K. Collector region 1 is applied with a positive voltage, and PN junction J of collector region 1 and drift region 21Forward biased, PN junction J of drift region 2 and channel region 32Reverse bias, at J, since the channel region 3 has a higher doping concentration than the drift region 22The depletion region is expanded towards the drift region 2, and the withstand voltage of the device is mainly determined by the size and doping concentration of the drift region 2. As can be seen from fig. 9, as the collector voltage gradually increases, the collector current of the device suddenly and significantly increases at a certain point, at which the device avalanche breakdown occurs, and the doping concentration of the IGBT and the MOS transistor in the drift region 2 is 1 × 1016cm-3The concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 × 1017cm-3The withstand voltage can reach 1060V, and the withstand voltage level of the GaN material reaches 132.5V/mum.
Fig. 10 shows that T is 300K at room temperature, and the doping concentration in the channel region 3 is 1 × 1017cm-3The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 1 multiplied by 1016cm-3When in BB' and B1B1' in example 1(IGBT) and MOS tube breakdown, the electric field concentration distribution curve. Comparing fig. 10(a) and fig. 10(b) in fig. 10, it can be seen that the electric field concentration of both the IGBT and the MOS transistor reaches the maximum value at y of 6.5 μm, and the breakdown phenomenon occurs, and the electric field maximum value is 3MV/μm. Breakdown occurs here because the structure proposed in this patent is where x is 8 μm and y is 6 μm at the corners of the drift region 2, resulting in a relatively concentrated electric field.
FIG. 11 shows T300K at room temperature in the channel region3 doping concentration of 1 × 1017cm-3The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 5 multiplied by 1015cm-3To 4X 1016cm-3And (3) a change curve of the breakdown voltage of the GaN IGBT when the voltage is changed. As can be seen from fig. 11, the breakdown voltage decreases with increasing doping concentration of the drift region 2, and in the given data, the doping concentration in the drift region 2 has a minimum value of 5 × 1015cm-3When the breakdown voltage is maximum and reaches 1388V, the voltage-resistant level of the GaN material can reach 173.5V/mum, but the limit of the GaN material can not realize N-type doping with too low concentration, so the drift region 2 of the invention has the doping concentration of 1 × 1016cm-3. PN junction J of drift region 2 and channel region 3 with increasing concentration of drift region 22The depth of the diffusion towards the drift region 2 is gradually reduced, so that the withstand voltage of the device is gradually reduced.
Fig. 12 shows that T is 300K at room temperature, and the doping concentration in the channel region 3 is 1 × 1017cm-3The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 1 multiplied by 1016cm-3In time, embodiment 1(IGBT) turn-on voltage curve. As can be seen from FIG. 12, the voltage is applied to the collector from the beginning to the voltage VcBefore reaching 3V, no collector current is output, mainly because the PN junction voltage of the collector 1 and the drift region 2 is influenced when V iscAfter more than 3V, the collector current IcThe current is increased rapidly and reaches 100A/cm for IGBT2When the device is on, V at this timedI.e., the on-state voltage drop of the IGBT, the turn-on voltage V of embodiment 1(IGBT)on1About 3.88V and the specific on-resistance of 0.88m omega/cm2
Fig. 13 shows that T is 300K at room temperature, and the doping concentration in the channel region 3 is 1 × 1017cm-3The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 1 multiplied by 1016cm-3And the turn-on voltage curve of the MOS transistor with the same size as that of the embodiment 1(IGBT) is obtained. As can be seen from fig. 13, for the MOS transistor, there is no PN junction between the drift region and the collector region of the IGBT inside the device, so that a current is output when a voltage is applied to the drain, and for the MOS transistor, the current reaches 20A/cm2The device is turned on, so that the turn-on voltage of the MOS transistorVon2About 0.32V and a specific on-resistance of 1.6m omega/cm2. Comparing the data in fig. 12 and fig. 13, it can be seen that the specific on-resistance of the embodiment 1(IGBT) is reduced by 45% compared with that of the MOS transistor with the same size.
Fig. 14 shows that T is 300K at room temperature, and the doping concentration in the channel region 3 is 1 × 1017cm-3The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 5 multiplied by 1015cm-3To 4X 1016cm-3And (3) a change curve of the conduction voltage drop of the IGBT device during change. As can be seen from fig. 14, as the doping concentration of the drift region 2 increases, the turn-on voltage drop of the IGBT device decreases gradually, because as the concentration of the drift region 2 increases gradually, the amount of minority carriers injected into the drift region from the P + collector region during forward conduction also increases gradually, so that the conductance modulation effect in the IGBT is enhanced, the resistance of the drift region 2 is reduced, and the turn-on voltage drop of the device is reduced.
Fig. 15 shows the drift region 2 doping concentration of the IGBT device of example 1 and the MOS device of example 3 at 5.0 × 1015cm-3To 3X 1016cm-3Comparative graph of specific on-resistance between. As can be seen from fig. 15, the specific on-resistance of the GaN IGBT gradually decreases with the increase in the concentration of the drift region 2 when the doping concentration of the drift region is 3 × 1016cm-3The specific on-resistance of the GaN IGBT is 0.79 m.OMEGA.. cm2(ii) a In addition, as the concentration of the drift region 2 is increased, the specific on-resistance of the MOS is gradually reduced, but the influence of the concentration of the drift region on the specific on-resistance of the MOS transistor is not great, because the collector region 1 injects minority carriers into the drift region 2 during forward conduction, and a conductivity modulation effect occurs, which greatly reduces the specific on-resistance of the device, so that the specific on-resistance of the GaN IGBT in this concentration range is smaller than the specific on-resistance of the MOS transistor, and as the doping concentration of the drift region 2 is increased, the hole injection rate of the P + collector is reduced, the influence effect on the specific on-resistance of the GaN IGBT is weakened, and as the doping concentration of the drift region 2 is continuously increased, the specific on-resistance difference between the GaN IGBT and the MOS transistor is gradually reduced.
Fig. 16 shows the drift region 2 doping concentration of the IGBT device of example 1 and the MOS device of example 3 at 5 × 1015cm-3To 3X 1016cm-3Baliga figure of merit FOM comparison between. As can be seen from FIG. 16, the FOM of the N-substrate GaN trench gate IGBT device gradually decreases with the increase of the doping concentration of the drift region 2 when the doping concentration is 5 × 1015cm-3Maximum value of 2GW/cm is obtained2(ii) a The FOM of the MOS tube device with the same size is also reduced along with the increase of the doping concentration of the drift region 2 and is 5 multiplied by 1015cm-3Maximum value of 0.72GW/cm is obtained2From the figure, it can be known that FOM of the GaN IGBT is 2.78 times of that of the MOS tube with the same size.
Fig. 17 shows that T is 300K at room temperature and the concentration in the drift region 2 is 1 × 1016cm-3The doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 multiplied by 1017cm-3And meanwhile, drawing a data result obtained by Silvaco simulation through an Origin tool according to an IGBT turn-off characteristic curve. At time T2X 10-6At s, the gate voltage is decreased from 12V to 0V, and the collector voltage is decreased from 10V to 0V. As can be seen from fig. 17, when T is 2 × 10-6s, the gate voltage becomes 0V, the channel is closed, the collector current is rapidly reduced, the turn-off time is calculated by the time taken for the current to be reduced from 90% to 10% of the maximum current, and the turn-off time of the IGBT is 14.3 ns.
