Definitions

  • the invention relates to a semiconductor structure which contains an interface between a region made of a predetermined ⁇ -silicon carbide polytype and an electrically insulating region, the electrical conductivity in the silicon carbide region being induced at the interface by
  • Such semiconductor structures are e.g. from "IEEE Electronic Electronics Letters", Vol. 1 8, No. 3, March 1991, pages 93 to 95. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the aforementioned semiconductor structure.
  • Silicon carbide in monocrystalline form is a semiconductor material with excellent physical properties, which make this semiconductor material appear interesting, particularly for power electronics, especially in power electronics applications due to its low breakthrough field strength and good thermal conductivity. Since the commercial availability of single-crystal substrate wafers, especially those made from 6H and 4H silicon carbide polytypes, has increased, power semiconductor components based on silicon carbide, such as e.g. Silicon carbide Schottky diodes, increasing attention. However, the previously known unipolar silicon carbide power MOSFETs still have problems with regard to important properties, such as the forward resistance.
  • a unipolar MOSFET is presented, for example, which was produced on the basis of a 6H-silicon-carbide wafer by double ion implantation (so-called D-MOSFET).
  • D-MOSFET double ion implantation
  • the current is controlled in a semiconductor region made of silicon carbide with a lateral current flow, the so-called channel zone, which is located in the silicon carbide region at an interface between the silicon carbide semiconductor region and an electrically insulating region (for example S ⁇ 0 2 ).
  • the current is passed vertically through the component in a second silicon carbide semiconductor region, the so-called drift zone.
  • the 4H-silicon carbide polytype with a volume conductivity Tuning mobility of the free charge carriers of about 800 cm 2 V -1 s ⁇ clearly has an advantage over 6H-Silicum carbide, which only has a mobility of about 100 cnXXs -1 .
  • the influence of the polytype selection on the second influencing variable which is decisive for the forward resistance is not taken into account here, namely the conductivity m of the channel zone, which, apart from geometrical variables, is essentially determined by the properties of the boundary layer between the silicon carbide semiconductor region and the electrically insulating region.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing the semiconductor structure with the features mentioned at the outset in such a way that improved properties, in particular an improved forward resistance, result compared to the prior art.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the distribution of the electrically effective defects (traps) at the interface between a semiconductor region and an electrically insulating region determines the conductivity of the semiconductor at the interface and thus essentially the forward resistance of the complete semiconductor structure.
  • Studies on silicon carbide have shown that, regardless of the polytype, an energetic band of high defect density forms, which is at a fixed energetic distance from the valence band. This band has an energetically comparatively sharply defined lower edge, which is approximately 2.9 eV above the valence band edge.
  • the selection of the polytype according to the invention ensures that the defect band is energetically within the conduction band and thus has a significantly lower influence on the conductivity than is the case with the polytypes with a higher bandgap commonly used.
  • the ⁇ -silicon carbide polytype is selected in accordance with the invention, advantageous semiconductor structures are obtained with the features mentioned in the preamble, which have improved properties compared to the prior art.
  • the on-resistance can be advantageous, e.g. can be reduced by a factor of 20.
  • the ⁇ -silicon carbide semiconductor region has a band gap which is at least 5 meV smaller than the 6H-silicon carbide polytype.
  • the rhomboed ⁇ ⁇ -silicon carbide polytypes are particularly advantageous, in particular the 15R type or the 21R type.
  • 15R-silicon carbide has a band gap of 2.79 eV at room temperature, which is therefore below the comparison value of 6H-S1I1-cium carbide (2.91 eV) according to the invention.
  • the 4H or 6H silicon carbide polytypes excluded according to the invention are not suitable polytypes due to their high bandgap of 3.15 eV (4H silicon carbide) and 2.91 eV (6H silicon carbide), although they have so far been used in the area of silicon carbide performance electronics have been used almost exclusively for reasons of commercial availability.
  • Another advantageous embodiment takes advantage of the fact that in order to achieve the advantageous conductivity at the interface, only a narrow semiconductor region in the immediate vicinity of the electrically insulating region has to be formed from the claimed ⁇ -silicon carbide polytype.
  • Semiconductor regions which are adjacent to this narrow region can thus consist either of the same or at least partially of a different silicon carbide polytype or also of a different semiconductor material than silicon carbide or of a complex structure with at least one semiconductor material other than silicon carbide .
  • the semiconductor structure according to the invention can be designed as a MOSFET structure, in particular as a D-MOSFET structure or as a U-MOSFET structure, or as an IGBT structure. Such Structures are often used in power electronics.
  • the semiconductor structure according to the invention is used to construct a semiconductor component or a complex semiconductor circuit.
  • D-MOSFET components such as the semiconductor structure indicated in the figure and designated HS, are important unipolar power components.
  • the current is controlled by means of a lateral current flow I L and on the other hand in the drift zone composed of a silicon carbide semiconductor layer 3 and a silicon carbide substrate 2 it is guided through the component by means of a vertical current flow I.
  • vertical current flow is understood to mean a current flow in a direction that is perpendicular to an interface 20 of the silicon carbide semiconductor layer 3.
  • lateral is understood to mean a direction that runs parallel to a direction within this interface 20.
  • One of the determining variables for the forward resistance of the D-MOSFET component is the conductivity in the area of the lateral current conduction I L , the so-called channel. In the switched-on state, these channels are formed as regions of larger base regions 11 adjacent to interfaces 20 due to induced charges.
  • the decisive interfaces 20 are shown in the figure by a stronger line. highlighted.
  • the semiconductor structure is located precisely in these areas of the D-MOSFET component. At least this region of the base region 11 near the interface, which adjoins the electrically insulating region formed by a first oxide layer 13a, consists of an ⁇ -silicon carbide polytype with a smaller band gap than that of 6H silicon carbide. For example, a 15R silicon carbide poly type is suitable.
  • the electrically insulating region arranged above the base region 11 can, as in the exemplary embodiment shown in the figure, be constructed from only a single layer. According to other advantageous embodiments, however, several layers, preferably also made of different materials, can be provided for this area.
  • the first oxide layer 13a shown in the figure, the so-called gate oxide can advantageously consist of SiO 2 material, in particular thermal SiO 2 material. In other embodiments, however, this layer can also consist of a non-oxide, electrically insulating material, in particular of SiN 4 .

  • the pn junctions 17 each formed between the base regions 11 and the silicon carbide layer 3 essentially absorb the reverse voltage when the D-MOSFET component is blocked.
  • At least one source region 10 is implanted in each base region 11, which is doped opposite to the base region 11 and therefore forms a pn junction 18 with the associated base region 11.
  • Each source region 10 is electrically short-circuited with the associated base region 11 via the source electrode.
  • the base regions 11 are preferably doped with boron and consequently p-type.
