Description
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a power rectifying device for rectifying power.
Power rectifiers for high-voltage and high-power semiconductors are widely used as power supply and power converter, and p-n junction diodes and Schottky diode devices are mainly used. The pn junction diode has a low leakage current and good reliability even at high temperature. However, due to the large forward voltage or turn-on voltage (~ 0.7V) and current conduction characteristic due to minority carrier, reverse recovery time and other switching speeds are slow. On the other hand, the Schottky diode has advantages such as a reverse recovery time because it has a low forward voltage and a conduction characteristic by a majority carrier by using a suitable metal electrode, but the leakage current in the off- Further, there is a problem of lowering the reliability at the contact portion between the metal and the semiconductor at high temperature, so additional measures for suppressing the heat generation are needed.
RK Williams et al. In US Pat. No. 5,818,084 concurrently connect drains, gates, and bodies in a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) structure as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, And a MOS type rectifier structure using a source as a cathode is proposed. Since the prior patent has lower turn-on voltage and more carrier conduction characteristics than a conventional MOS connection diode (forming an anode by connecting a drain and a gate to form a cathode by connecting a source and a body), the reverse recovery time is set to be a pn diode Faster, and has good characteristics of leakage current and high-temperature reliability.
However, since the power rectifying device of FIG. 1A forms a channel with the p-body by the lateral diffusion process, it is difficult to precisely control the channel length and the threshold voltage of the MOSFET. The trench-type large power rectifying device of FIG. 1B also forms a p-body by a deep diffusion process, so that it is difficult to precisely control the channel length and threshold voltage of the MOSFET, and the process is complicated.
APD Semiconductor, Inc. has proposed a method of fabricating a MOSFET having a short channel length (~ 0.2 μm or less) and various methods for easily controlling the threshold voltage in the power rectifier. In US Pat. No. 6,186,408, US Pat. No. 6,331,455 and US Pat. No. 6,420,225, a method of forming a short-length channel and p-body using a spacer is proposed. US Pat. No. 6,448,160 employs isotropic etching of photoresist to form a short- US 6,624,030, US 6,765,264 and US 6,979,861 proposed methods using an undercut having a slope by isotropic etching of an oxide film.
Also, Diodes Fabtech Inc. U.S. Patent No. 7,847,315 proposed in US Pat. No. 7,847,315 and US Patent Application No. 2009/0261427 proposed by PFC DEVICE Co. use an undercut method having an inclination by isotropic etching of oxide film as in US 6,624,030 of APD Semiconductor Inc.

Also, the proposed patents have a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 2B in the gate shape of the power rectifier cell. When the cell width is increased by decreasing the gate width W, the forward voltage of the rectifying element It becomes a factor to increase the descent.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a power rectifying device having a low forward voltage characteristic, a high switching speed, and a good leakage current characteristic.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a power rectifying device including: a substrate; A source layer on the substrate; A channel layer on the source layer; Gate patterns individually separated on the channel layer; Gate insulating films between the gate patterns and the channel layer; And a drain formed in the channel layer between the gate patterns. Here, the gate patterns may be formed in any one of a cross shape, a tessell shape, a circle shape, a rectangular shape, and an octagon shape in which a wide width and a narrow width are combined on a cell region of the substrate And may be arranged in a ring shape surrounding the peripheral region of the substrate.
As described above, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the power rectifying element includes various shapes of gates in which a wide line width and a narrow line width are combined in a cell. The coexistence of the wide and narrow linewidths of the gate reduces the JFET resistance and increases the cell density to reduce the forward voltage drop (VF). In addition, by overlaying the gate over the edge of the active region and the field region or placing the gate above the field region, the reverse voltage can be tolerated without a guard ring having a deep junction depth, thereby simplifying the process.
Therefore, the power rectification device according to the embodiment of the present invention has a forward voltage characteristic, a fast switching speed, and an excellent leakage current characteristic.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention and the manner of achieving them will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein but may be embodied in different forms. Rather, the embodiments disclosed herein are provided so that the disclosure can be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. It is to be understood that the phrase "comprises" and / or "comprising" used in the specification exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements, steps, operations and / or elements, I never do that. In addition, since they are in accordance with the preferred embodiment, the reference numerals presented in the order of description are not necessarily limited to the order. The following embodiments are examples using an N-type substrate, and conversely, a P-type substrate may be used. In this case, all types of dopants may be opposite to each other.
3A is a plan view showing gates in a cell of a power rectifying element according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken on line A-B of FIG. 3A.
Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, the gate of the power rectifier according to the embodiment of the present invention has a structure in which a narrow line width a and a wide line width b are combined in a cell.
In order to increase the cell density in the power rectifier, it is advantageous that the gate line width is narrow. However, when the line width is narrow, there is a disadvantage that the forward current density is decreased due to the increase in resistance by the JFET resistance (R JFET ). In order to solve this problem, it is possible not only to increase the cell density but also to reduce the decrease of the forward current due to the JFET resistance by allowing the narrow gate line width and the wide gate line to coexist in the cell region.
Figs. 3C to 3I illustrate other embodiments of gate shapes of various shapes in which the narrow line width a and the wide line width b repeatedly coexist as described above. In each gate shape, a represents a narrow line width and b represents a wide line width.
3C shows a cross-shaped gate shape. 3A is a structure in which the convex corner portions in the structure of FIG. 3C are cut at an arbitrary angle (for example, 45 degrees), and the concave corner portions are added at an arbitrary angle (for example, 45 degrees).
FIG. 3D shows a structure in which cross-shaped gate shapes are arranged in a line and repeated.
FIG. 3E shows a structure in which convex corner portions in the structure of FIG. 3D are cut at an arbitrary angle (for example, 45 degrees). The concave corner portion is a structure attached at an arbitrary angle (for example, 45 degrees).

FIG. 3G shows a structure in which convex corner portions in the structure of FIG. 3F are cut at an arbitrary angle (for example, 45 degrees). The concave corner portion is a structure attached at an arbitrary angle (for example, 45 degrees).
FIG. 3h shows a structure in which gates having a circular shape and a rectangular shape are repeated, and respective gates are connected to each other.
FIG. 3I shows a structure in which gates of an octagonal shape and a rectangular shape are repeated, and respective gates are connected to each other. The portion where the gate is not formed (drain portion) also has an octagonal shape.
3J shows that a portion where a gate is not formed (a drain portion) has a circular shape, and a gate is connected to a region except for an anode portion of a circular shape.
The above are embodiments for explaining the present invention for a gate shape repeatedly including a region having a narrow gate width and a region having a wide gate width. In addition, the gate shape is a (memory shape), c H (hitchhiker), and tool shape, their convex corners can be cut out, and the concave corners can include various shapes such as an attached structure.
In addition, the shape of the drain shown in FIG. 3H to FIG. 3J may have various structures such as a square, a hexagon, etc. in addition to a circular or octagonal shape.
