Description

Deep-well type SiC Mosfet device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a deep-well SiC Mosfet device and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Power devices are the core of power electronics, playing a vital role in the direction of power electronics development towards high frequency, high power density. Currently, the development of silicon (Si) devices has been very mature, and the application of 600V or less, si-based oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is the dominant one, while Si-based superjunction devices and insulated gate bipolar transistors (insulator gate bipolar transistor, IGBT) are the dominant markets for high voltage applications of 0.6-6.5 kV. Nevertheless, the development space of silicon devices has been limited by the limitations of the properties of silicon materials. For example, the withstand voltage limit of the current Si-based IGBT is 6.5kV, the working temperature is lower than 175 ℃, and the device switching speed is low due to the bipolar conduction mode, so that the popularization of the Si-based IGBT in high-frequency application is limited. The SiC material has a forbidden bandwidth which is 3 times that of the silicon material, a critical breakdown electric field strength which is 10 times that of the silicon material and a thermal conductivity which is 3 times that of the silicon material, so that the SiC power device is suitable for application occasions such as high frequency, high voltage, high temperature and the like, and is beneficial to improving the efficiency and the power density of a power electronic system.
The advantages of SiC devices over Si devices come mainly from three aspects: the energy loss in the electric energy conversion process is reduced, the miniaturization is easier to realize, and the high-temperature and high-pressure resistance is better.
1. The energy loss is reduced: the switching loss of the SiC material is extremely low, the switching loss of the all-SiC power module is greatly lower than that of the same IGBT module, and the higher the switching frequency is, the larger the loss difference between the all-SiC power module and the IGBT module is, which means that the all-SiC power module can not only greatly reduce the loss but also realize high-speed switching when the all-SiC power module is not good for high-speed switching operation of the IGBT module.
2. The low resistance makes it easier to achieve miniaturization: the SiC material has lower on-state resistance, the area of a chip can be reduced under the condition of the same resistance value, and the size of the SiC power module can be about 1/10 of that of Si.
3. More resistant to high temperatures: the forbidden bandwidth of SiC is 3.23ev, the corresponding intrinsic temperature can reach 800 ℃, and the born temperature is higher than Si; the SiC material has a thermal conductivity of 3.7W/cm/K, while the silicon material has a thermal conductivity of only 1.5W/cm/K, and the higher thermal conductivity can bring about remarkable improvement of power density, and meanwhile, the design of a heat dissipation system is simpler, or natural cooling is directly adopted.
SiC was developed from the 70 s of the last century, siC SBD was commercially available in 2001, siC MOSFET was commercially available in 2010, and SiC IGBT was under development. With the defect reduction and quality improvement of 6 inch SiC single crystal substrates and epitaxial wafers, siC device preparation can be performed on the existing 6 inch Si-based power device growth line, which further reduces SiC material and device cost and promotes popularization of SiC devices and modules. Currently, the main SiC MOSFET device structure comprises a Gree CIMOSFET structure, a Rohm double-groove MOSFET structure and an Infineon TMOSFET structure, wherein the Gree CIMOSFET structure is a planar structure and has larger on-resistance due to the influence of JFET resistance; the Rohm double-groove MOSFET structure can lead the duty ratio of a device conducting channel in the whole active area to be smaller due to the existence of the double-groove P+ well area, thereby being not beneficial to further reduction of on-resistance; the grooves and the P+ deep wells in the Infinion TMOSFET structure are parallel, so that the overall channel density of the device is not easy to shrink. It is therefore necessary for those skilled in the art to provide a SiC Mosfet device structure that is different from the one described above.

And secondly, forming a P+ deep well at the bottom of a part of the groove of the source region of the device in an orthogonal mode of injecting P+ into the groove and deep energy ions, and better protecting a grid oxide layer at the bottom of the groove by deep injection of the P+ region to prevent the grid oxide layer from being influenced by a high electric field, thereby improving the withstand voltage of the device and the reliability of a grid electrode of the device.
