Description

Low-loss bidirectional conduction IGBT structure and preparation method
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of semiconductor power devices, and particularly relates to a low-loss bidirectional conduction IGBT structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The insulated gate bipolar transistor (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, IGBT) is a commonly used power semiconductor device, is mainly used in high-power applications such as switching power supplies and motor driving, and is easy to generate higher energy loss due to the fact that the insulated gate bipolar transistor is often operated in high-voltage and high-current environments, so that the heating of the device is increased, and the reliability and the service life of the device are affected.
The IGBT device may exhibit a tail current during turn-off, also referred to as a tail current (tai 1 current). The tail current is caused by electrons in the drift region, when the Gate electrode (Gate) applies negative voltage in the turn-off process of the IGBT so that the IGBT starts to turn off, the boundary potential of the P-type base region gradually propagates to the N-type drift region to block the electrons in the drift region in situ, so that the electrons can only disappear through recombination with residual positive charges in the drift region, and leakage current generated in the recombination process is the tail current, so that the turn-off time of the device is greatly increased, and higher turn-off loss is caused. Therefore, adding an electron extraction path on the collector side becomes an advantageous attempt to accelerate device turn-off and reduce loss.
However, this structure often suffers from a common problem: the electron path is the collector N+ region, the P-type base region, the N-type drift region and the electron path (N-type doped region), the device is conducted in a MOS mode, at the moment, the voltage drop on a PN junction formed by the collector P region and the N-type buffer layer is insufficient to enable the PN junction to be opened, holes cannot be injected into the drift region by the collector P region, the device works in a unipolar mode, the drift region has no conductivity modulation effect, and the on-resistance is large. When the current density rises, a PN junction formed by the collector electrode P region and the N type buffer layer is opened, holes are injected into the N type drift region in a large quantity by the collector electrode P region, the device is converted into a bipolar conduction mode, the drift region generates a conductivity modulation effect, the on resistance is obviously reduced, a negative resistance region is generated, different current magnitudes appear under the same voltage, and the parallel connection of the device is extremely unfavorable.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, the application provides a low-loss bidirectional conducting IGBT structure, which comprises a short collector metal gate 1, an inductive gate 2, a left collector n+ region 3, a right collector n+ region 4, a left P-type blocking region 5, a right P-type blocking region 6, a deep oxygen trench 7, an N-type buffer layer 8, an N-type drift region 9, a P-type base region 10, an emitter n+ region 11, an emitter metal 12, a polysilicon gate 13, an emitter p+ region 14, an N-type buffer layer 15, a collector P region 16, and a collector metal 17. The short-circuit collector metal grid 1 is connected with the collector metal 17 and is wrapped by an oxide layer with the induction grid 2 to form a short-circuit collector split groove; the left P-type blocking area 5 and the right P-type blocking area 6 are distributed symmetrically about the short collector split trench, and floating is not directly electrically connected; the left collector N+ region 3 and the right collector N+ region 4 are distributed symmetrically about the short collector splitting trench, are respectively wrapped by the left P-type blocking region 5 and the right P-type blocking region 6, and are connected with the collector metal 17; the deep oxygen trench 7 is positioned between the left P-type barrier region 5 and the collector P region 16; the N-type buffer layer 8 is positioned on the right side of the deep oxygen trench 7 and on the upper sides of the P-type barrier regions 5 and 6. The rest structure is consistent with the traditional FS-IGBT, and the collector metal 17, the collector P region 16, the N type buffer layer 15, the N type drift region 9, the polysilicon trench gate 13, the P type base region 10, the emitter P+ region 14, the emitter N+ region 11 and the emitter metal 12 are sequentially arranged from bottom to top. The left side and right side terms are all divided by taking the short-circuit collector metal grid 1 as the center.
The short-circuit collector metal gate 1 and the induction gate 2 are wrapped by an oxide layer to form a short-circuit collector split trench gate (SCST), wherein the short-circuit collector metal gate 1, the right-side collector N+ region 4, the right-side P-type barrier region 6 and the N-type buffer layer 8 form a forward conduction NMOS structure; the induction gate 2, the left collector N+ region 3, the left P-type barrier region 5 and the N-type buffer layer 8 form a reverse conduction NMOS structure.
The short-circuit collector metal grid 1 is connected with the collector metal 17 and is made of aluminum; the induction grid 2 is not directly electrically connected and is a floating grid; the filling material of the sensing gate 2 can be polysilicon or metal, the top of which is level with the top of the left P-type barrier region 5, and the bottom of which is level with the top of the left collector n+ region 3.
Referring to FIG. 2, in this embodiment, to show the effect of different parts of the design of the present application on the electrical characteristics of the device, the doping concentrations of the left-side P-type barrier region 5 and the right-side P-type barrier region 6 are set to 1e15~1e16/>And (3) the room(s). According to a PN junction built-in potential formula: />
It can be seen that the larger the concentration difference between the left P-type blocking region 5 and the right P-type blocking region 6 and the collector P-region 16, the larger the on-state voltage difference between the P-type blocking region and the collector P-region and the P-type buffer layer, and the larger the hole injection efficiency difference, the more obvious the voltage kink phenomenon.
Referring to fig. 3, in the initial turn-on stage, since the collector voltage is small, electrons are accumulated at both sides of the PN junction formed by the collector P region 16 and the N-type buffer layer 15 and the PN junction formed by the left P-type blocking region 5, the right P-type blocking region 6 and the N-type buffer layer 8, but the voltage is insufficient to turn on the junction, so that the hole injection efficiency is not high, wherein the injection efficiency of the left P-type blocking region 5 and the right P-type blocking region 6 with lower doping concentration is significantly lower than that of the collector P region 16 with higher doping concentration. The built-in potential of the PN junction formed by the left side P type barrier region 5, the right side P type barrier region 6 and the N type buffer layer 8 is smaller, the PN junction is started in advance, and the hole injection efficiency is lower than that of the collector P region 16 because the doping concentration of the left side P type barrier region 5 and the right side P type barrier region 6 is lower, and when the current intensity is increased to the opening of the PN junction formed by the collector P region 16 and the N type buffer layer 15, the voltage reverse phenomenon occurs.
Referring to fig. 4 to 6, in order to show the influence of different parts of the design of the present application on the electrical characteristics of the device in this embodiment, deep oxygen trenches are set to a depth of 2.0 μm to 4.0 μm. Although the concentration differences between the left and right P-type barrier regions 5, 6 and the collector P-region 16 still result in voltage foldback, the extremely small built-in potential difference makes the voltage foldback sensitive to the electron flow path resistance and length and sensitivity. Based on this principle, the application further proposes regulating the electron flow path through the deep oxygen trench to make electrons flow through the buffer layer, drift region, buffer layer and flow to the collector, and reducing the junction voltage between the collector P region 16 and the N-type buffer layer 15 fromModulated as->And because drift region resistance is far greater than the buffer layer, and the existence of P separation region makes the device very sensitive to electron flow path resistance again, and under the cooperation of the two, the device can obtain obvious voltage under very small lateral dimension and turn over the suppression effect, even eliminates the phenomenon of turning over completely.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, when the device is turned off, the collector voltage will rise to the blocking voltage, because the application uses the short-circuit collector metal gate 1 connected with the collector metal 17 as the control gate of the forward conduction NMOS structure, the traditional collector end structure will make the electric field distribution in the right P-type blocking region 6 more uniform, and it is difficult to form an inversion region, so that the forward conduction NMOS structure can not be turned on to form an electron extraction channel when turned off, and the application firstly uses the deep oxygen trench 7 to isolate the potential influence of the collector P region 16 on the left P-type blocking region 5 and the right P-type blocking region 6, and then connects the collector with the left collector n+ region 3 and the right collector n+ region 4, in this way, the left P-type blocking region 5 and the right P-type blocking region 6 float, and finally the right P-type blocking region 6 and the left collector n+ region 3 and the right collector n+ region 4 form an ideal hole depletion region by using the wrapping structure formed by the collector voltage when the device is turned off. Through the scheme, when the device is turned off, the forward conduction NMOS structure formed by the short-circuit collector metal gate 1, the N-type buffer layer 8, the right P-type blocking region 6 and the right collector N+ region 4 is turned on, an extraction passage is provided for electrons, the tail current of the device is greatly reduced, and the turn-off loss is further reduced.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in this embodiment, to show the effect of different parts of the design of the present application on the electrical characteristics of the device, the doping concentrations of the left collector n+ region 3 and the right collector n+ region 4 are set to be 1e15~1e18/>And (3) the room(s). When the induction grid 2 is in reverse conduction, as the floating grid is not directly electrically connected, positive charges are induced on the surface of the induction grid 2 when the collector metal 17 is connected with negative potential, the induced charges attract electrons in the left P-type blocking area 5 to form an inversion layer, an extra electron channel is provided for reverse conduction of the device, and the reverse conduction capacity of the device is enhanced. Meanwhile, as the concentration of the left collector N+ region 3 and the right collector N+ region 4 increases, the reverse conduction capability of the device is obviously enhanced.
