Description

Super-junction MOSFET and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and relates to a super junction MOSFET and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Because the super-junction MOSFET is provided with the N-type column region and the P-type column region which are mutually compensated, the influence of the ionization donor charge of the N-type column region on the longitudinal electric field is reduced. Therefore, the doping concentration of the N-type column region can be greatly increased to reduce the on-resistance of the device without sacrificing the breakdown voltage. In general, the P-type column region needs to be connected to the source electrode, otherwise, holes in the P-type column region cannot be complemented in the switching process, and thus problems such as an increase in dynamic resistance are caused. However, when the superjunction MOSFET is turned on in the reverse direction, the P-type column region injects a large amount of unbalanced carriers into the N-type column region, which significantly increases the reverse recovery charge, resulting in an increase in the switching loss of the system. In the reverse recovery process of the super-junction MOSFET, unbalanced carriers at the bottom of the chip are extracted in the initial stage of reverse recovery due to the existence of the P-type column region, so that the softness factor of the reverse recovery of the device is reduced. The reduction of the softness factor of the reverse recovery causes a large dI/dt, which in turn causes voltage overshoot and strong oscillations of the parasitic RLC loop, and more seriously causes the burning out of the superjunction MOSFET device.
Currently, the reverse recovery softness factor is increased by decreasing the unbalanced carrier concentration in the superjunction at reverse conduction to reduce the reverse recovery charge. Electrons and heavy metal irradiation are generally adopted to directly reduce the service life of unbalanced carriers, so that the concentration of the unbalanced carriers in the super-junction MOSFET body is reduced. However, electron and heavy metal irradiation are adopted, so that the service life of carriers is reduced, the leakage current of the device is increased, the electron mobility of the surface of the chip is reduced due to irradiation, the area of the chip of the device is increased, and the manufacturing and processing cost and the time cost of the chip are increased due to an irradiation process. In addition, the unbalanced carrier concentration in the super junction MOSFET is reduced by reducing the injection efficiency of the PN junction, i.e., integrating an N-type schottky diode on the chip surface, integrating a P-type schottky diode on the chip back surface, or integrating a channel diode in the channel. However, the integration of an N-type schottky diode on the surface of the chip or a P-type schottky diode on the back of the chip increases the leakage current by more than 1 order of magnitude, and the process complexity is also increased. Integrating the channel diode sacrifices a portion of the electron channel, thereby increasing the on-resistance and increasing the difficulty of the device manufacturing process.
Therefore, there is a need for a superjunction MOSFET that can greatly optimize the reverse recovery characteristics without increasing the on-resistance, process difficulty, and leakage current of the device.

Example 1
The present embodiment provides a super-junction MOSFET, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, which are a schematic cross-sectional structure of one structure of the super-junction MOSFET and a schematic cross-sectional structure of another structure of the super-junction MOSFET, respectively, including a first conductive type substrate 1, a first conductive type buffer region 2, a first conductive type column 3, a second conductive type column 4, a second conductive type body region 5, a first conductive type source region 6, a gate structure 7, a trench 8, a source 9 and a drain 10, wherein the buffer region 2 is stacked on the upper surface of the substrate 1; the first conductive type column 3 is disposed on the upper surface of the buffer region 2 and extends in a direction away from the substrate 1, and the first conductive type column 3 includes a first column region 31 and a second column region 32 stacked on the first column region 31; the second conductive type pillars 4 are disposed on the upper surface of the buffer region 21 and located on both sides of the first pillar region 31, the sidewalls of the second conductive type pillars 4 are adjacent to the sidewalls of the first pillar region 31, and the upper surface of the second conductive type pillars 4 is flush with the upper surface of the first pillar region 31; the body region 5 is stacked on the upper surface of the second conductive type column 4, and the upper surface of the body region 5 is flush with the upper surface of the second column region 32, and the side wall of the body region 5 is adjacent to the side wall of the second column region 32; the source region 6 is located on the upper surface layer of the body region 5, and the source region 6 is spaced from the first conductive type column 3 by a preset distance; the gate structure 7 is located on the upper surfaces of the body region 5 and the second column region 6, and two ends of the gate structure 7 extend to the upper side of the source region 6; a plurality of trenches 8 are spaced apart and extend through the source region 6 and into the body region 5; the source electrode 9 covers the exposed surfaces of the gate structure 7, the source region 6 and the body region 5 and fills the trench 8, the drain electrode 10 covers the bottom surface of the substrate 1, the contact type of the source electrode 9 and the source region 6 is ohmic contact, and the contact type of the body region 5 and the source electrode 9 is schottky contact.
Specifically, the first conductivity type includes one of an N-type or a P-type, the second conductivity type includes one of an N-type or a P-type, and the first conductivity type is opposite to the second conductivity type.
Specifically, the material of the substrate 1 includes silicon or other suitable semiconductor materials. In this embodiment, the substrate 1 is N-type silicon.
Specifically, the thickness of the substrate 1 may be set according to practical situations, and is not limited herein.
As an example, the doping concentration of the substrate 1 is higher than that of the buffer region 2 to raise the withstand voltage value of the device, and the doping concentration of the first conductivity type pillar 3 is higher than that of the buffer region 2 to lower the on-resistance of the device.
Specifically, the thickness of the buffer area 2 may be set according to practical situations, which is not limited herein; the thickness of the first pillar region 31 may be set according to practical situations, and is not limited herein.
Specifically, the thickness of the second column region 32 may be set according to practical situations, which is not limited herein.
Specifically, the size of the body 5 may be set according to practical situations, which is not limited herein.
Specifically, the source region 6 is heavily doped, so the contact type between the source 9 and the source region 6 is ohmic contact, and the higher the doping concentration of the source region 6 is, the smaller the contact resistance between the source region 6 and the source 9 is.
As an example, the barrier height of the schottky contact between the body region 5 and the source 9 is not higher than 0.7eV to prevent affecting the width of the conduction channel in the body region 5 and thus affecting the conduction of the device.
Specifically, the body region 5 is lightly doped so that schottky contact is formed between the body region 5 and the source electrode 9, and the lower the doping concentration of the body region 5 is, the higher the barrier height between the body region 5 and the source electrode 9 is, and the barrier height between the body region 5 and the source electrode 9 can be regulated by regulating the doping concentration of the body region 5.
Specifically, when the super-junction MOSFET is turned on reversely, the schottky contact between the body region 5 and the source electrode 9 is biased reversely, so as to limit the injection of unbalanced carriers into the source electrode 9 of the PN junction region between the second conductive type pillar 4 and the first pillar region 31 and the buffer region 2, so that the number of unbalanced carriers injected into the source electrode is reduced, and the reverse recovery softness factor of the device is increased; when the superjunction MOSFET is turned on in the forward direction, the schottky contact between the source electrode 9 and the body region 5 is biased in the forward direction, the contact resistance is small, the increase of the leakage current (current generated between the gate electrode and the source electrode) of the device is not caused, and the source electrode 9 forms a conduction loop through the source region 6, the body region 5, the first conductivity type pillar 3, the buffer region 2, the substrate 1 and the drain electrode 10, and the conduction resistance of the device is not affected because the contact between the source region 6 and the source electrode 9 is ohmic contact.
Specifically, the side walls of the trenches 8 are spaced apart from the side walls of the first conductivity type pillars 3 by a predetermined distance.
As an example, the trench 8 penetrates the source region 9 and extends into the body region 5, and the bottom of the trench 8 is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the body region 5 by a predetermined distance.
In particular, the distance between the bottom of the trench 8 and the bottom surface of the body region 5 may be set according to practical situations, which is not limited herein.
As an example, as shown in fig. 3, a schematic cross-sectional structure of the trench 8 of the superjunction MOSFET is shown, in which the bottom of the trench is located in the body region 5 and a first conductivity type doped region is provided in the body region 5, and the superjunction MOSFET further includes at least one first conductivity type doped region 41 located in the body region 5 or the second conductivity type pillar 4.
Specifically, the first conductive type doped region 41 is located in the body region 5, the body region 5 and the first conductive type doped region 41 compensate each other, so that the charge storage amount of the PN junction region between the body region 5 and the second column region 32 is reduced, the reverse recovery softness factor of the device is further reduced, and the body region 5 and the first conductive type doped region 41 compensate each other, so that the resistance value of the body region 5 is improved, and the reverse breakdown voltage resistance value of the device is further improved.
As an example, the first conductivity-type doped region 41 is located below the trench 8, the reverse breakdown point of the superjunction MOSFET is located at the first conductivity-type doped region 41, and the first conductivity-type doped region 41 is less than 2 μm from the bottom of the trench 8.
Specifically, the first conductivity type doped region 41 is located below the trench 8 and in the body region 5 or the second conductivity type column 4, and the distance between the first conductivity type doped region 41 and the bottom of the trench 8, the doping concentration of the first conductivity type doped region 41, and the doping concentration of the body region 5 or the second conductivity type column 4 are regulated, so that a stronger electric field is formed between the first conductivity type doped region 41 and the source electrode 9 when the device is connected with a reverse voltage, and charge accumulation occurs at a PN junction of one side of the first conductivity type doped region 41 away from the source electrode 9, so that a reverse breakdown point of the device is controlled to be located at the first conductivity type doped region 41, thereby reducing the risk of parasitic transistor opening in the device and increasing avalanche resistance of the device.
As an example, the trench 8 penetrates the body region 5 and the bottom surface of the trench 8 is flush with the bottom surface of the body region 5 or extends into the second conductivity type pillar 4.
Specifically, the trench 8 is flush with the bottom surface of the body region 5 or extends into the second conductivity type pillar 4, and a schottky contact is also formed between the source electrode 9 and the second conductivity type pillar 4 to reduce the reverse recovery softness factor of the device.
As an example, as shown in fig. 4, a schematic cross-sectional structure of the super-junction MOSFET is shown when the trench bottom surface of the super-junction MOSFET is flush with the body region bottom surface and the first conductivity type doped region 41 is disposed in the second conductivity type pillar, and the super-junction MOSFET further includes at least one first conductivity type doped region 41 located in the second conductivity type pillar 4.
