Abstract
Aluminium is used as a P-type dopant for a contact region 8, while boron is used to form a body region 9. Implanted Al ions will form a higher level of defects that will act as recombination centres leading to lower carrier lifetimes and hence will reduce the injection levels of this region. Due to the higher diffusion coefficient of Al ions compared to B ions in silicon a lower temperature budget is needed to achieve the required depth of the P-type contact region 8. Hence, annealing the Al implant at temperatures below 900C will provide enough activation levels and dopant depth to achieve simultaneously a good ohmic contact to the contact electrode 3, and N+ source 7 protection, while providing lower hole drainage injection levels. This concept can be used in bipolar and unipolar semiconductor devices alike, e.g. IGBTs and MOSFETs, and is particularly beneficial for reverse conducting type of devices such as RC-IGBTs.
Description
DESCRIPTION
METHOD FOR FORMING A LOW INJECTION P-TV PE CONTACT REGION AND
POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES WITH THE SAME
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to the field of power semiconductor devices, such as a method for manufacturing a bipolar semiconductor device and a design for a bipolar semiconductor device.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
For exemplification purposes, FIG. 1 shows a typical planar MOS cell cross section for an IGBT structure (100) which is also used in a MOSE ET (200) with a highly doped N-dope drain region (1) as shown i n see FIG. 2 and RC-IGBT (300) as shown in FIG. 3, where both additionally incorporate an anti-parallel diode in the same structure. The IGBT (100) includes a first layer (4) formed as an N-doped type base layer with a first main side (31) and a second main side (21) opposite the first main side (31). A second P-doped type layer (9) is arranged on the first main side (31). On the second layer (9), a third P-doped type layer (8) is arranged on the first main side (31) in such a way that the layer (9) completely surrounds it. Layer (8) forms what is called a P-type contact region in an IG BT. For a punch-through IGBT shown in FIG. 1, an N-type field stop buffer layer (5) is added on the second main side (21) which incorporates a P-type collector or anode layer (6) between the buffer layer (5) and the collector contact layer (2). A none punch-through IGBT is structured without the field stop buffer layer (5).
In addition, by processing the second main side (21), an integrated diode functionality can be provided for an IGBT. For example, U.S. Pat No. 8,435,863 and U.S. Pat No. 8,508,016 disclose a method of creating various reverse conducting bipolar semiconductor devices having a patterned structure on the second main side (21), at least one layer on the second main side having alternating dopant regions including at least one first region of the first conductivity N-type (1) and at least one second region of the second conductivity P-type (6) as shown in the RC-IGBT (300) in FIG. 3. For exemplification purposes, FIG. 4 shows a typical trench MOS cell cross section for an IGBT structure (400) which can also be used in MOSFETs and RC-IGBTs.
For both the planar and trench MOS cell design concepts, a highly doped P-type layer (8) referred to as a contact region is included in the MOS cell to provide two critical functions: (a) to ensure a good Ohmic contact to the emitter contact (3) and, (b) to protect the highly doped N-type source region (7) from injecting electrons during device turn-off which can lead to device failure. In prior art, the highly doped P-doped layer (8) and the lower P-doped layer (9) are obtained by implantation of Boron (B) ions. Boron ions provide faster diffusion with better controllability in Silicon wafers to achieve finer device features, and also it does not out-diffuse at the surface which provides high quality Ohmic contacts to overlaying metal layers. After implantation through a mask, the Boron ions are subsequently diffused and activated at high temperatures above 9006C. However, this process will provide full activation of the Boron dopants so that the P-doped layer (8) will increase the drainage levels of holes during IGBT conduction, resulting in higher on-state or conduction losses. In addition, for R C-IG BTs and MOSF ET s with an integrated anti-parallel diode, this highly doped P-type layer (8) leads to higher injection levels in diode mode, which will result in increased switching losses. Hence, it is important to provide an arrangement for the P-type doped layer (8) and P-type doped layer (9) which can provide simultaneously a good Ohmic contact and N-type source (7) protection with less impact on the hole drainage and diode mode i nject on levels.
To address the issue of optimizing the diode mode in RC-IGBTs, the U.S. Pat Na 8,450,777 describes prior art using implantation of Hydrogen or Helium ion, for example, or Phosphorous or Boron ions, for example on the first main side (31). The phosphorous or boron ions may be multiple charged ions, such as double charged boron (B++) or triple charged phosphorous (P+++), for example. Furthermore, the U.S. Pat Na 7,400,017 describes an RC-IGBT with a recombination layer formed through the diode section as well as through the IG BT section by uniform Helium irradiation. J P 2007-103770 also discloses an R C -IG BT The lifetime controlIing in di ode mode is improved by introducing I ocal recombination layers, which are arranged in the first layer in the diode section close to the second main side (21) through ion irradiation.
The above described prior art is complex and requires additional masks, high energy irradiation processes and additional thermal budgets which may impact the distribution of the layers inside the semiconductor device, and its overall performance. It is thus desirable to identify a simpler and more efficient method to form a P-type doped layer (8) which can provide simultaneously a good Ohmic contact and N-type source (7) protection with less impact on the hole drainage and diode mode inj ecti on levels and is applicable to all types of bipolar semiconductors (punch-through as well as non-punch-through, standard as well as reverse-conduct ng type).
o DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
It may be an object of the present i nventi on to provide a novel concept for manufacturing a reverse conducting bipolar semi conductor using an innovative forming method of the highly doped P-type contact region which provides improved diode and IGBT performance and reduces the need for additional complex processes for providing recombination centre required for opti mi sing the integrated anti-parallel di ode behaviour.
These objects may be met by the subject matter of the independent claims. Embodiments of the invention are described with respect to the dependent c I ai ins.
An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing an insulated gate bipolar transistor. The exemplary method can include the following steps: forming a first layer of a first conductivity type on a part of a wafer of the first conductivity type having a first main side and a second main side opposite the first main side; creat ng a second layer of second conductivity type and a fourth layer of the first conductivity type on the first main side, the fourth layer being surrounded by the second layer and forming a first opening above the second layer; creating a third layer of a second conductivity type with a different P-type doping species than the second layer on the first main side, the third layer being fully surrounded by the second layer, and the fourth layer not covering the central parts of the thi rd layer; creating a electrically insulating layer on the first main side, the electrically insulating layer partially covering the at least one of the first layer, the second layer, and the fourth layer; creating an electrically conductive layer on the first main side to be insulated from the wafer by the electrically insulating layer, forming an opening over the third layer and part of the fourth layer, creating an additional electrically insulating layer fully covering the at least the electrically conductive layer and the electrically insulating I ayer, and partially covering the fourth layer; creating a first electrical contact on the first main side, the first electrical contact being in direct contact with the third layer and the fourth layer within the first opening; creating at least one fifth layer of the first conductivity type and at least one sixth layer of the second conductivity type on the second main side, the at least one fifth and sixth layers being arranged successively at the bottom of the first layer; finally, creating a second electrical contact on the second main side to be in di rect electrical contact with the at least the sixth layer. For an RC-IGBT, the sixth layer of second conductivity type can be formed for example as an alternate pattern of oppositely doped regions, all in direct contact with the second electrical contact on the second main side, or by any other means known to rio create a shorted collector in an IGBT.
An exemplary embodiment provides an IG BT type device. The exemplary IG BT includes a fi a layer of a first conductivity type with a first main side and a second main side opposite the first main side, and a second layer of a second conductivity type arranged on the first main side. The exemplary IGBT also includes at least one third layer of a second conductivity type with a different P-type doping species than the second layer, completely surrounded by the second layer; a fourth layer of a first conductivity type arranged on the first main side and surrounded by the second layer, and an electrically insulating layer arranged on the first main side and partially covering the at least one fourth layer. In additi on, the exemplary IG BT includes an electrically conductive layer arranged on the first main side and being electrically insulated from the at least one first layer, the fourth layer and the second layer by the electrically insulating layer, in such a way that the electrically insulating layer does not cover the thi rd layer, and only partially covers the fourth layer. The exemplary IGBT also includes an additional electrically insulated layer arranged on the first side completely covering the electrically insulating and electrically conductive layers, and forming a first opening above the third layer and part of the fourth layer; and a first electrical contact arranged on the first main side in direct electrical contact with the third layer and the fourth layer within the first opening and at least one fifth layer of the first conductivity type and at least one sixth layer of the second conductivity type on the second side, the at least one fifth and sixth layers being arranged successively at the bottom of the first layer. The IGBT also includes a second electrical contact arranged on the second main side in direct electrical contact with the at least sixth layer. An exemplary RC-IGBT may differently replace the uniformly doped sixth layer with an alternate pattern of oppositely doped regions in direct contact with the second electrical contact on the second side, or with any other means known to those skilled in the field to form a shorted collector in an IG BT.
Further preferred embodiments of the inventive subject matter are disclosed in the dependent claims.

The reference symbols used in the figures and their meaning are summarized in the list of reference symbols. The drawings are only schematically and not to scale. Generally, alike or al i ke-functi oni ng parts are given the same reference symbols. The described embodiments are meant as examples and shall not confine the invention.
MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In the following Detailed Description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In this regard, directional terminology, such as top," 'bottom" 'front" 'back," 'leading," "trailing," etc., is used with reference to the orientation of the Figure (s) being described. Because components of embodi ments can be positioned in a number of different orientations, the directional terminology is used for purposes of illustration and is in no way limiting. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following detailed description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments, one or more examples of io which are illustrated in the figures. Each example is provided by way of explanation, and is not meant as a limitation of the invention. For example, features illustrated or described as part of one embodiment can be used on or in conjunction with other embodiments to yield yet a further embodiment It is intended that the present invention includes such modifications and variations. The examples are described using specific language which should not be construed as I i miti ng the scope of the appending claims. The drawings are not scaled and are for illustrative purposes only. For clarity, the same elements or manufacturing steps have been designated by the same references in the different drawings if not stated otherwise.
Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. It will be further understood that terms, e. g., those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art However, should the present disclosure give a specific meaning to a term deviating from a meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill, this meaning is to be taken into account in the specific context this definition is given herein.
In this specification, N -doped is referred to as first conductivity type while P -doped is referred to as second conductivity type. Alternatively, the semiconductor devices can be formed with opposite doping relations so that the first conductivity type can be P -doped and the second conductivity type can be N -doped. Furthermore, some Figures ill ustrate relative doping concentrations by indicating or "+" next to the doping type. For example, "N-" means a doping concentration which is less than the doping concentration of an doping region while an ' N +" -doping region has a larger doping concentration than the N - -doping region. However, indicating the relative doping concentration does not mean that doping regions of the same relative doping concentration have to have the same absolute doping concentration unless otherwise stated. For example, two different N+ -doping regions can have different absolute doping concentrations. The same applies, for example, to an N+ -doping and a P+ -doping region.
Specific embodiments described in this specification pertain to, without being limited thereto, reverse conducting bipolar semiconductor devices.
It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being 'connected_ or 'coupled_ to another element, it can be directly connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present In contrast when an element is referred to as being directly connected" or "directly coupled_ to another element, there are no intervening elements present Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e. g. 'between" versus 'directly between_, 'adjacent_ versus 'directly adjacent,_ etc.).
A method is disclosed for manufacturi ng a bi polar semiconductor device, which can have better electrical properties and provide better control compared to known bipolar punch-through and non-punch through semiconductor devices. A bipolar semiconductor device is also disclosed According to an exemplary embodiment Aluminium (Al) ions are used as the P-type dopants for the P++ doped contact layer (8), in combination with using Boron ions as dopants for forming the more critical channel layer (9) which defines the horizontal and/or vertical MOS channels. Since Al has nearly two and half time the atomic mass of a B atom, it will create a higher level of defects which can act as recombination centres for lowering the carrier lifetime, and hence reducing the injection levels of this layer in an R C-IG BT diode mode operation. Due to the higher diffusion coefficient of Al ions compared to B ions in Silicon, a lower temperature budget is needed to achieve the required depths of the P++ doped layer (8). Hence, annealing the A I i mpl ant at temperatures below 9006C will provide enough activation level sand dopant depths to simultaneously achi eve a good Ohmic contact and Ni-source protect on, while still providing lower hole drainage injection I evels.
