Description
INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR 1 1 22SdSt')4
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an insulated gate bipolar transistor (hereinafter abbreviated to "WBV') for use as a power switching device. Discussion of the Related Art Using IGBTs as power switching devices has become popular in recent years. In a power switching IGBT, a reverse conductivity type layer is added to a vertical MOSFET drain region an the drain electrode side. one example of such a cell is shown in Fig. 2. A high-resistance n_ layer 3 is formed on a p + layer 1 through a low-resistance n + layer 2. A p + region 4 is in a surface layer of the n_ layer 3, and an n + region 5 is in a surface layer of the p + region 4. The regions 4 and 5 are selectively formed by, for example, ion diffusion.
A surface portion of the p + region 4, interposed between the n_ layer 3 and the n + region 5, is used as a channel region. A gate electrode 7 connected to a gate terminal G is over the channel region with a gate insulating film 6 between the channel region and the gate electrode 7. A source electrode 8 is insulated from the gate electrode 7 by an insulating film 10, and is connected to a source terminal S. The source electrode 8 is in contact with respective surfaces of the p + region 4 and the n + region 5. A drain electrode 9 is connected to a drain terminal D, and is in contact with a surface of the p + layer 1.
When positive voltages are respectively applied to the gate terminal G and the drain terminal D and the source terminal S is grounded, the MOSFET defined by the n + layer 2, the n_ layer 3, the p + region 4, the n + region 5, the gate electrode 7 and the source electrode 8 is turned on, and electrons flow into the n_ layer through the channel region. Hole injection from the p + substrate 1 into the n_ layer 3 through the n + layer 2 occurs corresponding to the flow of electrons, so that conductivity modulation occurs in the n_ layer 3. As a result, the resistance in this region becomes low, so that a low on-resistance becomes conductive.
In such a conventional IGBT, the rate of recombination between electrons and holes in the n_ layer 3 is low, when the onstate voltage becomes small. This produces undesirably long switching times. To solve this problem, the carrier lifetimes can be shortened by carrier lifetime control treatments such as electron beam radiation or gold diffusion into silicon material for the purpose of increasing the rate of recombination between electrons and holes. However, the on-state voltages become large when those lifetime shortening methods are carried out in practice. That is, the relationship between the on-state voltage and switching time is a trade-off, so that it is very difficult to improve the two characteristics simultaneously.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide an IGBT in which the switching time can be improved without increasing the on-state voltage, thus overcoming the trade-off relationship.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In order to attain the foregoing objects, according to the present invention, a semiconductor substrate is provided for an insulated gate bipolar transistor having a short switching time and a low on state voltage. The substrate comprises a first semiconductor layer having a first conductivity type and an ion impurity concentration from 1.0 x 10 16 cm- 3 to 1.0 X 10 17 cm- 3; a second semiconductor layer having a second conductivity type on the first semiconductor layer, the ion impurity concentration of the second semiconductor layer being lower than the ion impurity concentration of the first semiconductor layer; and a third semiconductor layer having the second conductivity type on the second semiconductor layer, the ion impurity concentration of the third semiconductor layer being lower than the ion impurity concentration of the first semiconductor layer; wherein the substrate is not subject to a carrier lifetime control treatment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiments of the present invention, inclusive of the fundamental data therefore, will be described hereunder with reference to the drawings.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a three layer semiconductor structure is provided in which an IGBT is formed. The first layer has the opposite conductivity type as the second and third layers, and the first layer has a higher impurity concentration than the second and third layers. The doping ion impurity concentration of the first layer is from 1.0 x 10 16 cm- 3 4 to 1.0 X 10 17 cm-3, inclusive. Carrier lifetime control treatments are not performed on the three layer structure.
If the impurity density of the first layer is less than 1.0 x 10 17 cm- 3 and the impurity density of the second layer is less than that of the first layer, the carrier (electrons and holes) density distribution of the second and third layers becomes flat. As a result, diffused current components caused to flow by the gradient of the carrier density at turnoff time can be suppressed. Accordingly, the turn-off time can be shortened without increasing the on-state voltage by setting the lower limit of the density of the first layer to 1.0 x 10 16 cm-3 as a value before the increase of the on-state voltage.
An IGBT shown in Fig. 2 was produced by the following steps. First, silicon substrates of various impurity densities where used as a p + layer 1 (the first layer). An n + buffer layer (the second layer) 2 and an nbuffer layer (the third layer) 3 were laminated on a surface of the p + substrate 1 by an epitaxial growing method. The layer 2 and the layer 3 were lower in doping impurity density than the p + substrate 1.
Then, polycrystalline silicon was deposited, through an oxide film, on a surface of the layer 3. A gate electrode 7 and a gate oxide film 6 were formed from the polycrystalline silicon and the oxide film by photolithography.
Using the gate electrode 7 as a mask, acceptor ion injection was carried out. At the same time, a p + layer 4 (the first region) was formed by heat diffusion. Then, using the gate electron 7 as a part of a mask, an n + layer 5 (the second region) was formed by donor ion injection and heat diffusion. Thereafter, a source electrode 8 was brought into contact with the p + and n + layers 4 and 5 through an insulating film 10, and a drain electrode 9 was brought into contact with the p + substrate 1, so that the IGBT was finished.
The IGBT was not subjected to a carrier lifetime control treatment such as lifetime killer injection or electron beam radiation. The cell shown in the drawing has a 20pm, width. A large number of such cells were formed in one silicon body.
Fig. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the onstate voltage (on the left vertical axis) and the turn-off time (on the right vertical axis) vs. the impurity density of the p + substrate 1 in an IGBT with a rating of 60OV/100A (on the horizontal axis). The on-state voltage points are shown as circles, while the turn-off time points are shown as triangles.
In the example shown in Fig. 1, the n_ layer 3 had a thickness of 14 -3 about 50pm and an impurity density of 1.0.x 10 cm. As shown in the graph, the on-state voltage increases rapidly when the density of the p + substrate 1 is less than 10 x 10 16 cm- 3, and the turn-off time increases rapidly when the density is more then 1.0 17 -3 X 10 cm The terminology 'Ion-state voltage" means the voltage between the source terminal S and the drain terminal D, necessary for passing the rated current, for example, 100 A. The terminology "turn-off time" means the time required to reduce the introduction current from 90% to 10% of the stationary on-state under inductive load connection.
Fig. 3 shows the dependency of the on-state voltage (on the left vertical axis) and turn-off time (on the right vertical axis) on the impurity density of the p + substrate (horizontal axis) in the case of an IGBT device with a rating of 120OV/50A. In this - layer 3 had density of 10 x 10 14 cm- 3 example, the n an impuri and a thickness of about 100pm. The on-state voltage points are shown as circles, while the turn-off time points are shown as triangles. Like Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows that both the on-state voltage and turn-off time are not deteriorated when the impurity density of the p + substrate 1 is in a range of from 1.0 x 10 16 cm- 3 17 - 3 to 1.0 X 10 cm Fig. 4 shows the respective changes of the on-state voltage (left vertical axis) and turn-off time (right vertical axis) dependent on the presence or absence of lifetime control treatment (horizontal axis). in this example, the IGBT had a rating of 60OV/100A and a p + substrate 1 with an impurity density of 1.0 x 1017 cm- 3. As shown in the graph in Fig. 4, the device subjected to lifetime control treatment, such as electron beam radiation, gold diffusion, or the like, has the turn-off time shortened slightly but the on-state voltage increased greatly.
As can be seen from the above description, an IGBT having the shortened turn-off time without increase of the on-state voltage can be produced by limiting the range of the impurity density of the p+ layer under the n+ buffer layer without carrying out any lifetime control treatment. Because there is no lifetime control treatment required, the effect thus obtained is very large.
