Description

Trench type power MOSFET device integrated with Schottky diode and manufacturing method
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of power semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a groove type power MOSFET device integrated with a Schottky diode and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Basal Plane Dislocations (BPD) exist in silicon carbide crystals, and under certain conditions, the Basal Plane Dislocations (BPD) may be converted into Stacking Faults (SF). When the body diode in a silicon carbide power MOSFET device is turned on, electron-hole recombination can continue to expand the Stacking Fault (SF) under bipolar operation, causing bipolar degradation. This phenomenon increases the on-resistance of the silicon carbide power MOSFET, increases the leakage current in the blocking mode, and increases the on-voltage drop of the body diode, thereby reducing the reliability of the device.
In practical circuit applications, to avoid bipolar degradation, designers typically use external anti-parallel schottky diodes to suppress the body diode in the power MOSFET device. However, for cost reasons, a schottky diode may be embedded into each cell unit in a power MOSFET device while the entire device shares the same termination structure, which may reduce the overall chip size.
For the silicon carbide trench type power MOSFET device with the Schottky diode integrated in the cell, the Schottky structure and the MOSFET structure occupy the active area part of the device together, so that the two have a trade-off and trade-off contradiction relationship. If the two are unbalanced, larger MOSFET conduction loss can be caused, or the current conduction capacity of the Schottky diode is weaker, and the comprehensive electrical performance of the device is reduced.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
The embodiment of the application provides a groove type power MOSFET device integrating a Schottky diode and a manufacturing method thereof, which are used for solving the technical problem that the existing Schottky structure and MOSFET structure have conflict when the active area part of the device is occupied together.

In addition, as shown in fig. 1, a MOSFET structure is provided on top of the epitaxial layer 102.
It should be noted that, under the same device area, due to the MOSFET device designed by the circular and polygonal cells, a higher channel width and total area of JFET region can be achieved, and thus a lower specific on-resistance can be achieved. Therefore, the cell shape in the embodiment of the present application is designed in a polygonal shape or a circular shape.
In fig. 2, a schematic structural diagram of a regular hexagonal cell is provided according to an embodiment of the present application, and taking the regular hexagonal cell structure shown in fig. 2 as an example, a cross-sectional view corresponding to a dashed line AA' in fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an active area of a trench type power MOSFET device integrated with a schottky diode shown in fig. 1. As can be seen in conjunction with fig. 1 and 2, the MOSFET structure on top of the epitaxial layer includes: a plurality of cells 10 with the same shape and structure, a first highly doped P-type region 118, and a trench 117; each cell 10 includes: well 103, source 104, second highly doped P-type 105, schottky 114, JFET 113, trench 117 between cells 10, and first highly doped P-type 118 at the bottom of trench 117.
It should be noted that, since the first heavily doped P-type region 118 wraps around the bottom of the trench 117, the two portions overlap in the top view of fig. 2, the solid line in fig. 2 represents the trench boundary, and the two-dot chain line represents the boundary projection of the first heavily doped P-type region 118 at the bottom of the trench on the epitaxial layer platform portion. Meanwhile, the well region 103 is blocked by the source region 104 and the second highly doped P-type region 105, and thus cannot be shown in fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 2, the boundaries of the trench 117, the source region 104, the second highly doped P-type region 105 and the schottky region 114 are all regular hexagons in shape, and the center points coincide. As can be seen from fig. 1, the well region 103 of the cell 10 is also regular hexagon in shape and has the same center point as other structures of the cell 10.
Further, as shown in fig. 1, each cell 10 has a structure as follows: the well region 103 is located on the top surface of the epitaxial layer 102, and forms a first PN junction 115 with the epitaxial layer 102; the source region 104 and the second highly doped P-type region 105 are both located on a side surface of the well region 103 away from the epitaxial layer 102, the well region 103 and the source region 104 form a second PN junction 116, the schottky region 114 is located in a central region of the cell 10, the well region 103 and the second highly doped P-type region 105 surround the schottky region 114, and the source region 104 surrounds the second highly doped P-type region 105.
Further, the grooves 117 are positioned among the cells 10, the cross sections of the grooves among the cells 10 are U-shaped, and the corners of the bottoms of the grooves 117 are rounded; the first highly doped P-type region 118 wraps around the bottom of the trench 117; the first highly doped P-type region 118 and the epitaxial layer 102 form a third PN junction 119;
further, a junction field effect transistor JFET region 113 is formed between the well region 103 of the cell 10 and the adjacent first highly doped P-type region 118.

As can be seen from fig. 1 and 3, the ion implantation depth of the source region 104 in the cell 10 is smaller than the ion implantation depth of the well region 103, and the ion implantation depth of the second highly doped P-type region 105 may be smaller than, equal to, or greater than the ion implantation depth of the well region 103.
It should be noted that the well region 103, the second highly doped P-type region 105, and the first highly doped P-type region 118 are P-type regions, and the source region 104 is an N-type region.

It should be noted that, due to the design of the width n and the ion doping concentration of the JFET region 113, it is necessary to ensure that the MOSFET has a small on-resistance, and in the blocking mode, the well region 103 and the adjacent first highly doped P-type region 118 can play an effective role in electric field shielding, so as to ensure the reliability of the device. Similarly, the ion doping concentration and the width s in the schottky region 114 need to ensure that the schottky diode has sufficient current conduction capability, and in the blocking mode, the adjacent second highly doped P-type region 105 can play an effective role in shielding an electric field, so as to ensure the reliability of the device. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the value range of the width n of the JFET region 113 and the value range of the width s of the schottky region 114 are all within the preset interval; the ion doping concentration in JFET region 113, the ion doping concentration in schottky region 114, are all greater than or equal to the ion doping concentration of epitaxial layer 102.
