Description

Bidirectional power device
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a semiconductor manufacturing technology field, in particular to two-way power device.
Background
The power device is mainly used in a power supply circuit and a control circuit for high power, for example, as a switching element or a rectifying element. In the power device, doped regions of different doping types form a PN junction, thereby realizing the function of a diode or a transistor. Power devices are typically required to carry large currents at high voltages in applications. On the one hand, in order to meet the demand of high voltage applications and to improve device reliability and lifetime, power devices need to have a high breakdown voltage. On the other hand, in order to reduce power consumption and generated heat of the power device itself, the power device needs to have a low on-resistance. In a power supply circuit, charging and discharging are often involved, and then the current flow direction is different during the charging and discharging processes, so that the power device is required to have a bidirectional conduction function.
Power devices of the bidirectional conduction type are disclosed in US patents 5612566 and 6087740. The bidirectional power device comprises a substrate and a first output pole and a second output pole which are arranged on the substrate. The substrate is a P-type substrate or a P-type epitaxial or P-type doped well region; the two output electrodes are respectively composed of a lightly doped N-region and a heavily doped N + region positioned in the lightly doped N-region.

However, a pair of contradictory parameters is provided between the voltage resistance and the on-resistance of the bidirectional power device. Although the breakdown voltage can be improved by reducing the impurity concentration of the lightly doped N-region, a better withstand voltage characteristic is obtained. But the on-resistance is increased due to the decrease of the impurity concentration of the lightly doped N-region, thereby increasing power consumption.
In the bidirectional power device, further improvement is still required to satisfy both requirements of withstand voltage characteristics and on-resistance.

Referring to fig. 2-4, the bidirectional power device includes a semiconductor layer 10, a trench 20 located in the semiconductor layer 10, a gate dielectric layer 21 located on a sidewall of the trench 20, a control gate 22 located at a lower portion of the trench 20, a shield gate 23 located at an upper portion of the trench 20, and an isolation layer 24 located between the control gate 22 and the shield gate 23.
In the present embodiment, the semiconductor layer 10 is, for example, a semiconductor substrate itself, or an epitaxial layer formed on the semiconductor substrate, or a well region implanted in the semiconductor substrate. The doping concentration of the semiconductor layer 10 is 7E 14-3E 16cm-3. The semiconductor layer 10 is, for example, a silicon substrate, an epitaxial layer formed on the silicon substrate, or a well region formed in the silicon substrate, the doping type is P-type, and the doping type of the semiconductor layer 10 is the same as that of the silicon substrate. The semiconductor layer 10 has opposite first and second surfaces.
Wherein the control gate 22 is separated from the semiconductor layer 10 by the gate dielectric layer 21.
Further, the bidirectional power device further comprises a shielding dielectric layer 25 located on the sidewall of the trench 20, and the shielding gate 23 is separated from the semiconductor layer 10 by the shielding dielectric layer 25.
In this embodiment, the gate dielectric layer 21, the isolation layer 24, and the shielding dielectric layer 25 may be made of silicon dioxide or silicon nitride or a composite structure of silicon dioxide and silicon nitride, and the materials of the three may be the same or different.
The thickness of the gate dielectric layer 21 is 200-1000 angstroms, i.e., 0.02-0.1 um, and the thickness of the shielding dielectric layer 25 is 1000-2500 angstroms, i.e., 0.1-0.25 um. The thickness of the shielding dielectric layer 25 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the gate dielectric layer 21.
The width W1 of the control gate 22 is greater than the width W2 of the shield gate 23, and the length L1 of the control gate is less than the length L2 of the shield gate 23. The length L2 of the shielding grid 23 is 0.6-1.2 um.
Further, a source region 31 and a drain region 32, which are doped with N-type dopant and extend in the longitudinal direction, are formed in the semiconductor layer 10, wherein the source region 31 and the drain region 32 can be interchanged; and forming a channel region 40 adjacent to the control gate 22 within the semiconductor layer 10.

When the bidirectional power device is cut off, the shielding grid depletes the charges of the source region and the drain region through the shielding dielectric layer, and the voltage withstanding characteristic of the device is improved; when the bidirectional power device is conducted, the source region, the drain region and the semiconductor layer provide a low-impedance conduction path. Therefore, the thickness of the shielding dielectric layer, the doping concentration of the source region and the drain region and the length of the shielding grid can be adjusted to realize different threshold voltages.
Since channel region 40 is adjacent to control gate 22 located in a lower portion of trench 20, the channel length, and thus the channel resistance, can be reduced by reducing the width of the trench.

The doping type of the first lead line region 311 is the same as the doping type of the source region 31, and the doping concentration of the first lead line region 311 is greater than the doping concentration of the source region 31.

Further, a third lead region 101 is formed in the semiconductor layer 10, the third lead region 101 being close to the first surface of the semiconductor layer 10, wherein a doping type of the third lead region 101 is the same as a doping type of the semiconductor layer 10, and a doping concentration of the third lead region 101 is greater than a doping concentration of the semiconductor layer 10.
Further, a capping dielectric layer 11 is formed on the first surface of the semiconductor layer 10 and contact holes 50 penetrating the capping dielectric layer 11 are formed, the contact holes 50 including a first contact hole 51, a second contact hole 52, a third contact hole 53 and a fourth contact hole 54.

The third contact holes 53 are located at two sides of the trench 20 and extend to the semiconductor layer 10 through the cover dielectric layer 11.
A fourth contact hole 54 is located on the trench 20, and extends through the capping dielectric layer 11 to the control gate 22 and/or the shield gate 23 in the trench 20.
In the present embodiment, the capping dielectric layer 11 may be Undoped Silicate Glass (USG) or boron-phosphorus doped silicate glass (BPSG).
And depositing a metal layer 60 on the cover dielectric layer 11, wherein the metal layer 60 fills the first contact hole 51 to the fourth contact hole 54 to form a first contact 61 to a fourth contact 64 respectively. The first contact 61 is in contact with the source region 31 through the first contact hole 51 and the first lead region 311 to form a first output electrode S1, the second contact 61 is in contact with the drain region 32 through the second contact hole 52 and the second lead region 321 to form a second output electrode S2, and the third contact 63 is in contact with the semiconductor layer 10 through the third contact hole 53 and the third lead region 101 to form a substrate electrode Sub. As shown in fig. 3, the fourth contact 64 is in contact with the control gate 22 and/or the shield gate 23 via the fourth contact hole 54 to form a gate electrode. As shown in fig. 4, the fourth contact hole 54 includes a contact hole 54a of the control gate 22 and a contact hole 54b of the shield gate 23. In this embodiment, the control gate 22 and the shield gate 23 are connected together.
In the present embodiment, the material of the metal layer 60 may be titanium and titanium nitride, aluminum copper, aluminum silicon copper, or aluminum silicon.
In fig. 2, a cell includes only three trenches, a source region and a drain region, and in an actual product, the number of the source region 31 and the drain region 32 is more than one. Taking the example shown in fig. 2, the three trench structures are a first trench 20a, a second trench 20b and a third trench 20c, respectively. The first contact 61 leads the source region 31 to the surface of the semiconductor layer 10 to form a first output electrode S1, the second contact 62 leads the drain region 32 to the surface of the semiconductor layer 10 to form a second output electrode S2, the third contact 63 leads the semiconductor layer 10 to form a substrate electrode Sub, and the fourth contact 64 leads the control gate 22 and the shielding gate 23 in the trench 20 to the surface of the semiconductor layer 10 to form a gate electrode G, wherein the control gate 22 and the shielding gate 23 are electrically connected together. The first trench 20a and the third trench 20c are symmetrically disposed outside the source region 31 and the drain region 32. The first output electrode S1 and the second output electrode S2 are formed by leading the source region 31 and the drain region 32 to the surface of the semiconductor layer 10, respectively, and may be interchanged with each other.
When the voltage applied to the control gate 22 is greater than the threshold voltage, the bidirectional power device is turned on, a current flows through the channel region in the second trench 20b, and selection of the direction of the current is achieved by selecting one of the output electrodes to be connected to the substrate electrode, for example, when the first output electrode S1 is connected to the substrate electrode Sub, a current flows from the second output electrode S2 to the first output electrode S1; when the second output electrode S2 is connected to the substrate electrode Sub, a current flows from the first output electrode S1 to the second output electrode S2.
When the voltage applied to the control gate 22 is less than the threshold voltage, the bidirectional power device is turned off, and since the control gate 22 and the shielding gate 23 are electrically connected together, the voltage applied to the shielding gate 23 is a low voltage, and a high voltage is applied to the first output electrode S1 and the second output electrode S2, a voltage difference is formed between the source region 31, the drain region 32, and the shielding gate 23. The shielding gates 23 in the first trench 20a and the third trench 20c induce charges in the source region 31 and the source region 32 through the shielding dielectric layer 25, and finally the source region and the drain region can be completely depleted by adjusting the thickness and material of the shielding dielectric layer 25 and the impurity concentration of the source region 31 and the drain region 32, so that the purpose of improving the withstand voltage of the device is achieved. Meanwhile, the impurity concentration of the source region 31 and the drain region 32 is increased, so that the resistance of the device is greatly reduced.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram showing only a two-cell structure, in which a plurality of first contacts 61 are connected together to form a first output electrode S1, and a plurality of second contacts 62 are connected together to form a second output electrode S2, so as to improve the current capability of the device. Alternatively, for other types of bidirectional power devices, the current capability of the device may be increased by increasing the number of cells, i.e., selecting two or more cell structures to be connected in parallel.

In this embodiment, the rest of the bidirectional power device is basically the same as that in the first embodiment, and the detailed structure is not described again.
In the first embodiment, the control gate 22 and the shield gate 23 are connected together, and the shield gate 23 overlaps the source region 31 and the drain region 32, so that parasitic capacitance exists. When the voltages of the control gate 22 and the shielding gate 23 are increased, the parasitic capacitance is charged, and the bidirectional power device is conducted; when the voltages of the control gate 22 and the shield gate 23 are lowered, the parasitic capacitance discharges and the bidirectional power device turns off. When the bidirectional power device is switched on and off at a high speed, the charging and discharging time of the parasitic capacitor can reduce the switching frequency, and the parasitic capacitor is charged and discharged to generate extra power consumption.
In the second embodiment, the shielding grid 23 is connected with the semiconductor layer 10, and the voltage of the shielding grid 23 is fixed in the switching process of the device, so that the charging and discharging of parasitic capacitance caused by the voltage change of the shielding grid 23 can be avoided, the switching frequency of the bidirectional power device can be improved, and the power consumption can be reduced. The bidirectional power device can be used as a high-speed switch in certain application occasions requiring that the bidirectional power device not only has the lowest resistance as possible, but also has small parasitic capacitance.
