Abstract
【解決手段】負ベベルのエッジターミネーション46は、所望の傾斜角αの滑らかな負ベベルのエッジターミネーションに近似する複数の段を含む。負ベベルのエッジターミネーションは、少なくとも5段、少なくとも10段又は少なくとも15段を含む。望ましい傾斜角は、15度以下である。負ベベルのエッジターミネーションは、少なくとも10キロボルト(kV)又は少なくとも12kVの半導体デバイスの阻止電圧をもたらす。半導体デバイスは、限定ではないが、パワーサイリスタ、バイポーラ接合トランジスタ(BJT)、絶縁ゲートバイポーラトランジスタ(IGBT)、UチャネルMOSFET(UMOSFET)、又はPINダイオード等のサイリスタである。
【選択図】図2
Description
ある。より詳細には、電界がデバイスのエッジに集中すると、結果としてデバイスのエッジでデバイスの絶縁破壊が生じ、これによりデバイスのウェルの阻止電圧が理想的な阻止電圧(すなわち、理想的な平面デバイスの阻止電圧)より低下してしまう。このように、エッジターミネーションはSiC半導体デバイス、とりわけハイパワーのSiC半導体デバイスの設計において、重要な問題である。
Extension:JTE)である。図1は、例示的なSiC半導体デバイス、すなわち複数のJTEウェル12、14、及び16を備えたサイリスタ10を示している。サイリスタ10は、基板18、注入層20、フィールドストップ層22、ドリフト層24、ベース層26、及びアノード層28を備えている。JTEウェル12、14、及び16を形成するために、図に示すようにベース層26はドリフト層24までエッチングされる。そしてJTEウェル12、14、及び16がイオン注入によりドリフト層24の露出した表面に形成される。アノードコンタクト30はアノード層28上に形成され、カソードコンタクト32は注入層20とは反対側の基板18の底部表面に形成され、ゲートコンタクト34及び36は、ベース層26における対応するゲート領域38及び40上に形成される。ベース層26をドリフト層24までエッチングしてJTEウェル12、14、及び16を形成すると、その結果、角部42が形成される。角部42により電界集中が生じ、これにより、サイリスタ10の阻止電圧が理想的な阻止電圧より低下してしまう。
いが、好ましくは、パワーサイリスタ等のサイリスタ、バイポーラ接合トランジスタ(BJT)、絶縁ゲートバイポーラトランジスタ(IGBT)、UチャネルMOSFET(UMOSFET)、又はPINダイオードである。さらに、一実施形態では、半導体デバイスは1平方センチメートル以上のダイ領域を有する。
この明細書に組み込まれその一部を形成する添付図面は、本発明のいくつかの態様を示しており、記述とともに本発明の原理を説明するものである。
数の関連記載項目の組み合わせの任意のもの又は全てのもの含んでいる。
整数、ステップ、動作、要素、部品、及び/又はそのグループの存在又は追加を除外するものではない。
される。注目すべきは、SiCでは滑らかな傾斜を有する負べベルを得ることができないことである。例えば、シリコンデバイスでは、ウェットエッチングを用いて滑らかな傾斜を有する負ベベルのエッジターミネーションを形成することができるが、ウェットエッチングはSiCには適さないため、SiCデバイスには、ウェットエッチングを用いて滑らかな傾斜を有する負ベベルのエッジターミネーションを形成することはできない。したがって、本明細書で述べるように、負ベベルのエッジターミネーション46は、滑らかな傾斜に近似する複数段の負ベベルのエッジターミネーションとして実現される。
まな深さにイオンを注入して、負ベベルのエッジターミネーション144のための望ましい段数と傾斜(α)を得る。
ス領域212に近接する端から始まり外側へ向かって階段状に増大するさまざまな深さにイオンを注入して、負ベベルのエッジターミネーション200のための望ましい段数と傾斜(α)を得る。
