Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present application will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the application are shown. As one of ordinary skill in the art can know, with the development of technology and the appearance of new scenes, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application is also applicable to similar technical problems.
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 terminology used in the embodiments of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments of the application only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
The wide band gap or ultra-wide band gap semiconductor material has excellent optical and electrical properties, and the semiconductor device adopting the wide band gap or ultra-wide band gap semiconductor material has larger band gap, so that the semiconductor device can be applied to a plurality of extremely severe environments. Higher drilling speeds and lower failure rates can be achieved, as in the context of geothermal energy production and oil and gas production; such as at high temperatures, to allow for higher operating temperatures in electronic sensor controlled aluminum, steel, and coal and gas fired power plants, thereby improving the energy efficiency of these industrial processes.
Taking trench MOSFET devices as an example, semiconductor devices of wide band gap or ultra wide band gap semiconductor materials still have some problems to be ameliorated: if the protection capability of the trench gate is insufficient, the electric field at the trench corner of the trench gate is easy to gather, and the gate dielectric layer is easy to be broken down rapidly under high drain voltage.
Although the above-described problem can be solved by forming an electric field masking structure grounded inside the semiconductor device to reduce the electric field of the trench gate at the trench corner position. But in order to ensure dynamic reliability of the semiconductor device, it is necessary to construct an electric field masking structure in the cell structure of each device unit. The electric field masking structure generally needs to pass through an ultra-high energy ion implantation device, and scattering caused by high-temperature and high-energy ion implantation can cause that the cell line width in the semiconductor device can not be further reduced, so that continuous iterative optimization is difficult.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional semiconductor device having a dual trench source, the semiconductor device comprising:
a semiconductor substrate 11;
an epitaxial layer 12 on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 11;
a trench gate 14 and two trench sources 13 are arranged in the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12, and the trench gate 14 is positioned between the two trench sources 13;
The epitaxial layer 12 has an electric field masking layer 10 within its surface that surrounds the trench source 13. Wherein the electric field masking layer 10 is uniformly constant in the length direction of the trench source 13.
In the semiconductor device shown in fig. 1, a trench source 13 is disposed on both sides of a trench gate 14, and an electric field shielding layer 10 surrounding the trench source 13 is disposed, and the electric field of the trench gate 14 is shielded by the trench source 13 and the electric field shielding layer 10. Although this method can effectively prevent the gate dielectric layer 141 in the trench gate 14 from being broken down, when the device cell is further reduced, the channel region between the trench source 13 and the trench gate 14 is abnormal due to scattering of the implanted ions (black circles in fig. 1) forming the electric field shielding layer 10 due to the reduced distance between the trench source 13 and the trench gate 14. This problem results in difficulty in device cell size reduction and a lower cell effective area.
In order to solve the above-described problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a semiconductor device including:
a semiconductor substrate having an epitaxial layer on one side surface thereof; a well region is arranged in the surface of one side of the epitaxial layer, which faces away from the semiconductor substrate;
Two first grooves and a second groove positioned between the first grooves are formed in the surface of one side of the epitaxial layer, which is away from the semiconductor substrate, and the depth of each of the first grooves and the depth of each of the second grooves are larger than that of the well region; a groove source electrode is arranged in the first groove; a trench gate is arranged in the second trench; the trench gate includes first source regions and second source regions alternately distributed in a length direction of the first trench;
The trench source all corresponds and is provided with first masking structure, and first masking structure includes: the first doped region is positioned in the epitaxial layer opposite to the bottom of the first source region; the second doped region is positioned in the epitaxial layer at the bottom of the second source region and opposite to the side wall, and the second doped region is connected with the metal source above the epitaxial layer.
In the semiconductor device provided by the embodiment of the application, the trench source electrodes are respectively arranged at the two sides of the trench gate electrode, and the first masking structure is arranged in the region of the epitaxial layer corresponding to the trench source electrodes, so that the electric field of the trench gate electrode can be shielded based on the trench source electrodes and the first masking structure, thereby effectively preventing the gate dielectric layer in the trench gate electrode from being broken down by the electric field and improving the voltage resistance of the device.
The first masking structure includes a first doped region and a second doped region. On the one hand, the first doped region is located in the epitaxial layer below the bottom of the first source region, does not cover the side wall of the first source region or covers the side wall of the first source region close to the bottom of the first groove, and is located below the opposite region of the groove source electrode and the groove gate electrode, namely below the channel region, so that diffusion of injected ions forming the first doped region can be prevented from polluting the channel region between the groove gate electrode and the groove source electrode, further reduction of a device cell is facilitated, and the effective area of the cell is increased. On the other hand, the first masking structure can be electrically connected with the metal source electrode through the second doping region, so that the first masking structure is prevented from weakening or failing in the electric field masking effect due to suspension depletion during the switching process of the device.
The foregoing is a core concept of the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application, and in order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The trench sources 13 are each provided with a first masking structure 18, and the first masking structure 18 includes: the first doped region 31, the first doped region 31 is located in the epitaxial layer 12 opposite to the bottom of the first source region 131; the second doped region 32, the second doped region 32 is located in the epitaxial layer 12 opposite to the bottom and the sidewall of the second source region 132, and the second doped region 32 is connected to the metal source 19 above the epitaxial layer 12.
In the semiconductor device provided by the embodiment of the application, the trench source electrode 13 is respectively arranged at two sides of the trench gate electrode 14, and the first masking structure 18 is arranged in the region of the epitaxial layer 12 corresponding to the trench source electrode 13, and the electric field of the trench gate electrode 14 can be shielded based on the trench source electrode 13 and the first masking structure 18, so that the gate dielectric layer 141 in the trench gate electrode 14 can be effectively prevented from being broken down by the electric field, and the voltage resistance of the device is improved.
Alternatively, two trench sources 13 may be symmetrically disposed at both sides of the trench gate 14. In other embodiments, the two trench sources 13 may also have an asymmetric structure.
Alternatively, the first masking structures 18 corresponding to the two trench sources 13 may be symmetrically disposed on both sides of the trench gate 14. In other embodiments, the first masking structures 18 corresponding to the two trench sources 13 may also be asymmetric structures.
Wherein the first masking structure 18 comprises a first doped region 31 and a second doped region 32.
On the one hand, the first doped region 31 is located in the epitaxial layer 12 below the bottom of the first source region 131, and does not cover the sidewall of the first source region 131, i.e., the first doped region 31 is located below the bottom of the first trench 16, and the first doped region 31 does not exceed the bottom coverage area of the first trench 16, so that the first doped region 31 not only can realize electric field masking of the area where the first doped region 31 is located, but also, since the injection region of the first doped region 31 is located in the area of the epitaxial layer 12 opposite to the first trench 16, the first doped region 31 does not cover the sidewall of the first source region 131 or cover the sidewall of the first source region 131 near the bottom of the first trench, and the first doped region 31 is located below the opposite area of the trench source 13 and the trench gate 14, i.e., below the trench region, and the injected ions of the first doped region 31 will not pollute the trench 16 and the trench 17, and the problem of conduction abnormality of the trench region due to scattering will not occur when the first doped region 31 of the first source region 131 is further reduced in size of the device cell. Therefore, the diffusion of the implanted ions during the formation of the first doped region 31 can be prevented from contaminating the channel region between the trench gate 14 and the trench source 13, which is convenient for further reduction of the device cell, so as to increase the effective cell area.
On the other hand, the first masking structure 18 may be electrically connected to the metal source 19 through the second doped region 32 to prevent the first masking structure 18 from weakening or failing the electric field masking effect due to suspended depletion during switching of the device.
In the embodiment of the present application, in the same trench source 13, the area ratio of the first source region 131 is larger than the area ratio of the second source region 132, so that the cross-sectional view corresponding to the A-A' position is the main structure of the device.
If the first masking structures 18 corresponding to the two trench source electrodes 13 are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the trench gate electrode 14, as shown in fig. 2, the first doped regions 31 in one first masking structure 18 are disposed opposite to the first doped regions 31 in the other first masking structure 18 in the first direction (horizontal direction in fig. 2), and the second doped regions 32 in one first masking structure 18 are disposed opposite to the second doped regions 32 in the other first masking structure 18 in the first direction.
In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, a portion of the second doped region 32 opposite to the sidewall of the second source region 132 extends to the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12 to be connected to the metal source 19. In this manner, the second doped region 32 may be electrically connected directly to the metal source 19 to prevent the first masking structure 18 from weakening or failing the electric field masking effect due to suspended depletion during switching of the device.
In other embodiments, the portion of the second doped region 32 opposite to the sidewall of the second source region 132 may also extend at least to the well region 15, so as to connect with the metal source 19 based on the well region 15 or the contact region in the well region, so as to prevent the first masking structure 18 from weakening or failing the electric field masking effect due to suspended depletion during the switching process of the device.
In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, in the same first masking structure, the portion of the second doped region 32 under the bottom of the second source region 132 and the first doped region 31 are the same implantation region formed by the same ion implantation. The portion of the second doped region 32 below the bottom of the second source region 132 and the first doped region 31 are both within the epitaxial layer 12 below the bottom of the first trench 16, so that both can be simultaneously fabricated within the epitaxial layer 12 below the bottom of the first trench 16 by the same ion implantation.
In one aspect, the portion of the second doped region 32 below the bottom of the second source region 132 and the first doped region 31 can be simultaneously fabricated, and the fabrication process is simple and the fabrication cost is low.
On the other hand, based on the ion implantation performed by the first trench 16, the portion of the second doped region 32 below the bottom of the second source region 132 and the first doped region 31 are formed in the epitaxial layer 12 below the bottom of the first trench 16, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, the portion of the second doped region 32 below the bottom of the second source region 132 and the first doped region 31 are formed simultaneously, and are the same implanted region, and have the same thickness, and the upper surface of the implanted region is the bottom of the first trench 16, that is, the initial position of the ion implantation is the bottom of the first trench 16, so that the ion implantation depth is greatly reduced compared with the manner of ion implantation starting from the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12. The energy of ion implantation can be reduced, and thus the problem of contamination of the channel region by diffusion of implanted ions caused by an excessively high ion implantation energy can be prevented.
In the embodiment of the present application, the portion of the second doped region 32 located on the sidewall of the second source region 132 is a first implanted region formed before the first trench 16 is formed, and the portion of the second doped region 32 located under the bottom of the second source region 132 is a second implanted region formed based on the first trench 16.

After the first trench 16 is formed, the second implantation region is formed, and ion implantation can be performed based on the first trench 16, so that the implantation starting position of the second implantation region is the bottom of the first trench 16, and compared with the manner of performing ion implantation from the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12, the implantation depth of the second implantation region can be greatly reduced, so that the energy of the implanted ions is reduced, the implanted ions can be well controlled in the second target region, and the second target region is the epitaxial layer region where the portion of the second doped region 32 below the bottom of the first trench 16 is located, so that the problem of obvious ion scattering pollution to the channel region does not occur.

The first doped region 31 contacts the bottom of the first trench 16, and the second doped region 32 contacts the bottom and the sidewall of the first trench 16, so as to achieve a better electric field shielding effect.

The grid-like masking structure may be connected to the metal source 19 in the second doped region 32 or to the metal source 19 in the second doped region 32 and the third doped region 33, respectively, to prevent the first masking structure 18 from weakening or failing the electric field masking effect due to suspended depletion during switching of the device.
In the embodiment of the application, the depth of the first trench 16 is greater than the depth of the second trench 17, so that the depth of the trench source 13 is greater than the depth of the trench gate 14, and the trench source 13 at two sides of the trench gate 14 and the first masking structure 18 better shield the electric field of the trench gate 14, so as to prevent the gate dielectric layer 141 from being broken down, thereby better improving the voltage-withstanding performance of the device.

Referring to fig. 12 to fig. 30, fig. 12 to fig. 30 are schematic product structures of a semiconductor device manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present application in different process steps, where the manufacturing method includes:
step S11: as shown in fig. 12 and 13, a semiconductor substrate 11 is provided, and one side surface of the semiconductor substrate 11 has an epitaxial layer 12; the epitaxial layer 12 has a well region 15 in a surface of a side facing away from the semiconductor substrate 11.
First, as shown in fig. 12, an epitaxial layer 12 is formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate 11. Alternatively, the semiconductor substrate 11 may be a wide band gap or ultra wide band gap semiconductor material, such as any one of a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate, a gallium nitride (GaN) substrate, a gallium oxide (Ga 2O3) substrate, a diamond (C) substrate, and an aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate. An N-doped epitaxial layer 12 may be formed on the surface of the n+ doped semiconductor substrate 11 by an epitaxial process.
Then, as shown in fig. 13, a well region 15 and first and second contact regions 21 and 22 located in the well region 15 are formed in the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12 by ion implantation. A P-doped well region 15 may be formed in the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12 by P-type ion implantation, a p++ doped first contact region 21 may be formed in the well region 15 by P-type ion implantation, and an n++ doped second contact region 22 may be formed in the well region 15 by N-type ion implantation.
Step S12: as shown in fig. 14-28 and related figures in the semiconductor device embodiment, a trench source 13, a trench gate 14, and a first masking structure 18 are formed in a surface of the epitaxial layer 12 on a side facing away from the semiconductor substrate 11.
Wherein, the epitaxial layer 12 has two first trenches 16 and a second trench 17 between the first trenches 16 in a side surface facing away from the semiconductor substrate 11, and the depths of the first trenches 16 and the second trenches 17 are both greater than the depth of the well region 15; a trench source 13 is arranged in the first trench 16; a trench gate 14 is arranged in the second trench 17; the trench source 13 includes first source regions 131 and second source regions 132 alternately distributed in the length direction of the first trench 16. The trench sources 13 are each provided with a first masking structure 18, and the first masking structure 18 includes: the first doped region 31, the first doped region 31 is located in the epitaxial layer 12 opposite to the bottom of the first source region 131; the second doped region 32, the second doped region 32 is located in the epitaxial layer 12 opposite to the bottom and the sidewall of the second source region 132, and the second doped region 32 is connected to the metal source 19 above the epitaxial layer 12.
In the above-described method of making, the method of forming the first masking structure 18 includes:
Step S21: as shown in fig. 14 or 15, a first implant region 24 is formed in the epitaxial layer 12 in the region corresponding to the first trench 16 by a first ion implantation prior to forming the first trench 16. A patterned mask layer 23 may be formed on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12 according to a predetermined layout, and ion implantation may be performed based on the mask layer 23 to form the first implantation region 24. In this step, if the layout shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 5 is used, the cross-sectional view at the B-B' position is shown in FIG. 14; if the layout shown in FIG. 10 is used, a cross-sectional view at the B-B' position is shown in FIG. 15.
In fig. 14, the width of the first implantation region 24 corresponding to the trench source 13 is greater than the width of the first trench 16, so that after the first trench 16 is formed, a portion of the first implantation region 24 can be remained in the epitaxial layer 12 opposite to both sides of the first trench 16, thereby forming a portion of the second doped region 32 on the sidewall of the first source region 131. In fig. 15, the width of the first implanted region 24 corresponding to the trench gate 14 is not greater than the width of the second trench 17, so that only a portion of the first implanted region 24 located under the second trench 17 remains as the fourth doped region 34 after the second trench 17 is formed.
In step S21, the ion implantation is used to form the portion of the second doped region 32 on the sidewall of the trench source 13, and the implantation of the first doped region 31 is not involved, so the first doped region 31 is formed in a subsequent process.
Step S22: as shown in fig. 16 to 21, after the first trench 16 is formed, an isolation layer 25 is formed on the sidewall of the first trench 16, and the isolation layer 25 exposes the bottom of the first trench 16.
First, as shown in fig. 16 to 18, the first trench 16 is formed. Wherein FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of each layout at A-A ', FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of the layout shown in FIGS. 2 and 5 at B-B ', and FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the layout shown in FIG. 10 at B-B '. In order to avoid affecting the first implanted regions 24 of the corresponding areas of the second trenches 17 when etching the first trenches 16, a new mask layer 23 is required to mask the first implanted regions 24 of the corresponding second trenches 17 before forming the first trenches 16, as compared to fig. 15 and 18. In comparison with fig. 14 and 17, in comparison with fig. 15 and 18, in order to retain a portion of the first implant region 24 on both sidewalls of the first trench 16, a new mask layer 23 is required to mask an edge portion of the first implant region 24 corresponding to the first trench 16 and expose a region of the first implant region 24 in between where the first trench 16 needs to be etched before the first trench 16 is formed.
Then, on the basis of fig. 16 to 18, as shown in fig. 19 to 21, an isolation layer 25 is formed. The isolation layer 25 may be prepared during this process based on CVD or ALD processes.
Step S23: on the basis of fig. 19 to 21, as shown in fig. 22 to 24, a second implantation region 26 is formed in the epitaxial layer 12 at the bottom of the first trench by a second ion implantation.
Wherein the width of the first implantation region 24 is greater than the width of the first trench 16, the depth of the first trench 16 is greater than the depth of the first implantation region 24, and the first trench 16 penetrates the first implantation region 24 from the middle of the first implantation region 24 to form a portion of the second doped region 32 on the sidewall of the second source region 132; the second implant region 26 is used to form the first doped region 31 and the portion of the second doped region 32 below the bottom of the second source region 132.
Ion implantation is performed on the bottom of the first trench 16 based on the isolation layer 25 covered by the sidewall of the first trench 16, and a second implantation region 26 is formed. The second implant region 26 corresponding to the first source region 131 may serve as the first doped region 31. The second implant region 26 corresponding to the second source region 132 may be connected to the opposite first implant region 24 integrally to form the second doped region 32.
Since the first doped region 31 corresponding to the first source region 131 with a larger cell area of the device is mainly located in the epitaxial layer 12 below the bottom of the trench source 13 and below the trench gate 14, i.e. the first doped region 31 is located below the channel region. Even if the first doped region 31 diffuses upwards at the bottom of the first trench 16 by a certain distance during the formation of the second implanted region 26, the first doped region 31 exceeds the bottom coverage area of the first trench 16, and the second implanted region 26 is implanted by the first trench 16 to have a smaller implantation depth, so that the ion implantation energy is smaller, the problem of ion implantation pollution to the channel region during the formation of the first doped region 31 does not occur, and the conduction performance of the channel region is not affected.
In the preparation process of the semiconductor device, the ion implantation depth and implantation energy of the first doping region 31 and the second doping region 32 are low, so that the channel region can be effectively prevented from being polluted by the implanted ions, the device cell can be further reduced, and the effective area of the cell can be increased.
After forming the second implant region 26, the spacer 25 is removed as shown in fig. 25-27 on the basis of fig. 22-24. The isolation layer 25 may be a silicon oxide layer, and a wet etching agent such as HF solution may be used to remove the isolation layer 25, and a cleaning process may be combined to remove surface stains. And (3) drying after cleaning, and then performing high-temperature activation annealing to activate implanted ions. Optionally, the high-temperature ion activation process temperature of the silicon carbide device can be 1500-1900 ℃, and the process duration can be 10-30 min.
Thereafter, as shown in fig. 28 to 30, on the basis of fig. 25 to 27, etching is performed based on the new mask layer 23 to form the second trench 17.
In a subsequent process, an oxide layer is formed on the surfaces of the first trench 16 and the second trench 17 by oxidation of the trench sidewalls. The oxide layer covered on the surface of the second trench 17 serves as a gate dielectric layer 141. After an oxide layer is formed on the surface of the trench, polysilicon is filled in the trench to form a trench gate 14 and a trench source 13. Finally, preparing a surface metal electrode, comprising a metal source electrode 19 on the front surface and a metal drain electrode on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 11, so as to form a MOS structure.
The preparation method provided by the embodiment of the application further comprises the steps of forming a second masking structure 20 in the semiconductor substrate 11; second masking structure 20 includes a third doped region 33 within epitaxial layer 12; the third doped region 33 wraps part of the bottom of the trench gate 14 and connects two second doped regions 32 opposite in the first direction; wherein the first direction is parallel to the plane of the semiconductor substrate 11 and perpendicular to the length direction of the first trench 16. The structure of the third doped region 33 can be seen in fig. 5-7 with reference to the above-described embodiments.
Optionally, the method of forming second masking structure 20 includes: by the first ion implantation, a first implantation region 24 is formed simultaneously in the epitaxial layer 12 in the region corresponding to the second trench 17. Wherein the first implantation region 24 corresponding to the trench gate region is used to form a third doped region; the upper surface of the first implant region 24 is flush with the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 12, and the bottom depth of the first implant region 24 is greater than the depth of the second trench 17 and less than the depth of the first trench 16. In this manner, the second doped region 32 and the third doped region 33 may be formed simultaneously during the formation of the first implanted region 24, and the device structure is as shown in fig. 6.
