Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
A method for manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device includes the steps of:
s1, performing epitaxy on the surface of the silicon carbide substrate 1 by adopting an epitaxy process to obtain a buffer layer 2 and an epitaxial layer 3 in sequence;
s2, sequentially depositing a dielectric film and photoetching on the epitaxial layer 3 to form a patterned first mask layer, and then forming a gate trench 4 by etching;
s3, carrying out epitaxial growth again on the surface of the sample epitaxial layer 3 obtained in the step S2 to form a gate doped region 5;
and S4, removing the redundant epitaxial film on the surface of the epitaxial layer 3 by adopting chemical mechanical polishing, and flattening the surface of the sample.
The buffer layer 2 and the epitaxial layer 3 prepared by the epitaxial growth method can grow a layer of crystal with the same crystal orientation as the substrate 1 and with good lattice structure integrity and different resistivity and thickness on the silicon carbide substrate 1 with a certain crystal orientation. Compared with a silicon-based power device with the same power voltage grade, the silicon carbide power device has the advantages that the on-resistance and the switching loss are greatly reduced, and therefore the silicon carbide power device is more suitable for working scenes under the conditions of high working frequency and high temperature. The silicon carbide material in the invention is 4H-SiC or 6H-SiC or 3C-SiC, 4H-SiC is preferred in the invention, because the mobility of the crystal face of the 4H-SiC material is higher than that of the 3C-SiC material and the 6H-SiC material, the surface mobility can be further improved, and the body defect of the transistor is reduced. The thickness of the substrate 1 is 20-150 mu m, the thickness of the buffer layer 2 is 30-80 mu m, the number of layers of the epitaxial thin film is 5-80, and the thickness of each layer of the epitaxial thin film is 30-180 mu m.
In the photoetching and etching technology, the adopted mask plate pattern is an interdigital structure or a parallel long strip-shaped or polygonal table top or a combination pattern of the interdigital structure and the parallel long strip-shaped or polygonal table top, the width of a window area is 0.01-200 mu m, the etching depth is 0.01-200 mu m, and the width of the table top area is 0.01-200 mu m; wherein the length of the parallel long strip-shaped patterns and the interdigital patterns is 0.01 mu m-20 cm. The shape or other size parameters of the mask plate are selected according to actual conditions.
When the size of a semiconductor electronic device is small enough, global planarization is required, and the traditional planarization technology such as a heat flow method, a rotating glass method, an etch back method, an electron surround resonance method, low-pressure CVD, plasma enhanced CVD and the like belongs to a local planarization process, so that the global planarization cannot be realized. The Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) technique not only satisfies the requirements of silicon wafer patterning in terms of processability and speed, but also enables global planarization. The chemical polishing solution used in the present invention is a polishing solution in the prior art, such as the polishing solution disclosed in publication No. CN111234705A for chemical mechanical polishing of silicon carbide.
Further, the substrate 1, the buffer layer 2 and the epitaxial layer 3 are all of a first conductivity type; the gate doped region 5 is of a second conductivity type, and the first conductivity type and the second conductivity type are opposite in doping type. The doping type is N-type or P-type doping; if the doping is N-type doping, the doping impurities are nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P); if P-type doping, the doping impurity is aluminum (Al) or boron (B), which is dopedThe concentration is 1X 1014-5×1021cm-3。
Further, in step S1, the epitaxial process is performed by a chemical vapor deposition method, and the reaction temperature is 900 to 2000 ℃. In the present invention, the reaction temperature of the chemical vapor deposition is preferably 1200 ℃. The chemical vapor deposition growth method meets the requirements of crystal integrity, device structure diversification, controllable and simple device, batch production, purity guarantee and uniformity.
Further, in step S2, the dielectric film is made of photoresist, and the temperature in the deposition process of the photoresist is 20-30 ℃; photoresist is removed by a wet method and/or a dry method and the like; the adopted etching mode is a reactive ion etching technology and/or an inductive coupling plasma etching technology; the etching gas is SF6、CF4、O2And HBr.
The gluing temperature is 20-30 ℃, can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and is the same as the room temperature to the greatest extent, so that the temperature fluctuation of the photoresist can be reduced to the greatest extent, and the process fluctuation is reduced. The photoresist is preferably positive photoresist which has good contrast, so that the generated pattern has good resolution, and other characteristics such as good step coverage and good contrast; the negative adhesive has the characteristics of good adhesive capacity, barrier effect and high photosensitive speed; deformation and swelling occur at the time of development. Negative resists can easily obtain isolated single lines, while positive resists can easily obtain isolated holes or trenches, and therefore positive resists are preferred for the photoresists of the invention.
Compared with a plasma dry method, the wet method photoresist removing method has some defects, for example, photoresist removing liquid is repeatedly used for many times, the photoresist removing capability is gradually weakened, and the photoresist removing speed is changed along with time; the surface tension and material transportation of the liquid phase make the photoresist removal difficult or nonuniform; impurities accumulated in the degumming solution become a source of impurity particles. Therefore, plasma dry photoresist stripping has advantages over wet photoresist stripping, and dry plasma etching photoresist stripping is based on the principle that a plasma field excites oxygen to a high energy state, so that photoresist components are oxidized into gas which is sucked away from a reaction chamber by a vacuum pump, but the oxygen plasma cannot remove metal contamination of mobile ions, and has a certain degree of metal residue and radiation damage. Therefore, the invention preferably removes the photoresist by combining plasma dry photoresist removal and wet photoresist removal, firstly removes the photoresist layer used for hardening by using plasma, and then removes the residues which are not removed by the plasma by using a wet method.
Further, in step S3, the material used for the gate doped region 5 is the same as the material used for the substrate 1, and is a silicon carbide material, and the epitaxial process uses a chemical vapor deposition method.
Example 1
In the embodiment 1 of the present invention, a silicon carbide diode is taken as an example, and a relatively complete silicon carbide diode is prepared by processing the silicon carbide diode on the basis of the preparation method.
A method for manufacturing a silicon carbide semiconductor device includes the steps of:
