Description
本發明係關於一種溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體的製作方法,特別是關於一種可以降低金氧半場效電晶體之切換損失之溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體的製作方法。The invention relates to a method for fabricating a trench type power MOS field effect transistor, in particular to a method for fabricating a trench type power MOS field effect transistor capable of reducing switching loss of a gold oxide half field effect transistor.
功率金氧半導體場效電晶體被廣泛地應用於電力裝置之切換元件,例如是電源供應器、整流器或低壓馬達控制器等等。現今之功率金氧半導體場效電晶體多採取垂直結構的設計,以提升元件密度。其利用晶片之背面作為汲極,而於晶片之正面製作多個電晶體元件之源極以及閘極。由於各個電晶體元件之汲極是並聯在一起的,因而可以提升其耐受電流。Power MOS field effect transistors are widely used in switching elements of power devices, such as power supplies, rectifiers or low voltage motor controllers, and the like. Today's power MOS field effect transistors are designed with vertical structures to increase component density. The back side of the wafer is used as a drain, and the source and gate of a plurality of transistor elements are formed on the front side of the wafer. Since the drains of the individual transistor elements are connected in parallel, their withstand current can be increased.
功率金氧半導體場效電晶體的工作損失可分成切換損失(switching loss)及導通損失(conducting loss)兩大類。其中,因為輸入電容Ciss所造成的切換損失會隨著操作頻率的提高而增加。基本上,輸入電容Ciss包括閘極對源極之電容Cgs以及閘極對汲極之電容Cgd。因此,降低閘極對汲極之電容Cgd除了有助於在制電感性負載切換(unclamped inductive load switching;UIS)的情況下提升雪崩能量(avalanche energy)外,亦有助於降低切換損失。The operating loss of power MOS field effect transistors can be divided into two categories: switching loss and conducting loss. Among them, the switching loss caused by the input capacitance Ciss increases as the operating frequency increases. Basically, the input capacitance Ciss includes a gate-to-source capacitance Cgs and a gate-to-drain capacitance Cgd. Therefore, reducing the gate-to-drain capacitance Cgd helps to reduce the switching loss in addition to increasing the avalanche energy in the case of inductive load switching (UIS).
因此,如何製作出具有低閘極對汲極之電容Cgd的功率金氧半導體場效電晶體,已成為業者亟為重視的議題之一。Therefore, how to fabricate a power MOS field effect transistor with a low gate-to-drain capacitance Cgd has become one of the topics that the industry has paid attention to.
本發明之主要目的在於提出一種功率金氧半導體場效電晶體的製造方法,可以增加閘極與汲極間之絕緣層的厚度,以降低閘極對汲極之電容,改善切換損失。The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a power MOS field effect transistor, which can increase the thickness of the insulating layer between the gate and the drain to reduce the capacitance of the gate to the drain and improve the switching loss.
本發明之另一目的在於提出一種功率金氧半導體場效電晶體的製造方法,可以調整本體區之輪廓,以提升雪崩能量。Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for fabricating a power MOS field effect transistor that can adjust the profile of the body region to enhance avalanche energy.
為達成上述目的,本發明提供一種溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體之製造方法。首先,形成一圖案層於一基材上。此圖案層具有一第一開口以定義一閘極溝槽於基材內。隨後,透過此圖案層蝕刻基材,以形成閘極溝槽於基材內。接下來,以氧化方式形成一第一氧化層於閘極溝槽內。此第一氧化層至少覆蓋閘極溝槽之側壁。隨後,移除第一氧化層,以擴大閘極溝槽之寬度,並使閘極溝槽之底部寬度大於第一開口之寬度。然後,形成一閘極氧化層於閘極溝槽之內側表面。接下來,透過圖案層,以非等向性蝕刻技術蝕刻閘極溝槽之底部,以形成一第二開口裸露基材。然後,形成一厚氧化層於第二開口內。隨後,以離子植入方式,形成二個第一重摻雜區於厚氧化層之兩側,以防止環繞此閘極溝槽之本體區擴散至閘極溝槽之底部。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a trench type power MOS field effect transistor. First, a patterned layer is formed on a substrate. The patterned layer has a first opening to define a gate trench within the substrate. Subsequently, the substrate is etched through the patterned layer to form a gate trench in the substrate. Next, a first oxide layer is formed in the gate trench by oxidation. The first oxide layer covers at least the sidewalls of the gate trench. Subsequently, the first oxide layer is removed to enlarge the width of the gate trench and the bottom width of the gate trench is greater than the width of the first opening. Then, a gate oxide layer is formed on the inner side surface of the gate trench. Next, the bottom of the gate trench is etched by an anisotropic etching technique through the pattern layer to form a second open bare substrate. A thick oxide layer is then formed in the second opening. Subsequently, two first heavily doped regions are formed on both sides of the thick oxide layer by ion implantation to prevent the body region surrounding the gate trench from diffusing to the bottom of the gate trench.
依據本發明之一實施例,在形成圖案層之步驟後,本發明形成一第一間隔層結構(spacer)於圖案層之第一開口內。閘極溝槽則是以圖案層與第一間隔層結構為蝕刻遮罩,形成於基材內。According to an embodiment of the invention, after the step of forming the pattern layer, the present invention forms a first spacer layer in the first opening of the pattern layer. The gate trench is formed in the substrate by using the pattern layer and the first spacer layer structure as an etch mask.
依據本發明之一實施例,在形成第二開口之步驟後,更包括以蝕刻方式,擴大圖案層之第一開口之寬度,以裸露閘極溝槽之整個開口。According to an embodiment of the present invention, after the step of forming the second opening, the method further includes: expanding the width of the first opening of the pattern layer to expose the entire opening of the gate trench.

依據本發明之一實施例,厚氧化層係以沉積與回蝕製程,形成於第二開口內。In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the thick oxide layer is formed in the second opening by a deposition and etch back process.

依據本發明之一實施例,在形成第二開口之步驟前,預先形成一重摻雜區於閘極溝槽下方之基材內。後續步驟所形成之窄溝槽係貫穿重摻雜區,以形成第一重摻雜區於窄溝槽之兩側。According to an embodiment of the invention, a heavily doped region is pre-formed in the substrate below the gate trench prior to the step of forming the second opening. A narrow trench formed by the subsequent steps is formed through the heavily doped region to form a first heavily doped region on either side of the narrow trench.
依據本發明之一實施例,在形成第二開口之步驟前,預先形成一重摻雜區於閘極溝槽下方之基材內。後續步驟係直接以溼式氧化方式所形成之厚氧化層貫穿此重摻雜區,以形成第一重摻雜區於厚氧化層之兩側。According to an embodiment of the invention, a heavily doped region is pre-formed in the substrate below the gate trench prior to the step of forming the second opening. The subsequent step is to directly form a thick oxide layer formed by wet oxidation through the heavily doped region to form a first heavily doped region on both sides of the thick oxide layer.
依據本發明之一實施例,形成第一重摻雜區之步驟係於形成厚氧化層之步驟後,以離子植入方式,形成第一重摻雜區於閘極溝槽之底部下方。According to an embodiment of the invention, the step of forming the first heavily doped region is followed by the step of forming a thick oxide layer, and the first heavily doped region is formed under the bottom of the gate trench by ion implantation.
關於本發明之優點與精神可以藉由以下的發明詳述及所附圖式得到進一步的瞭解。The advantages and spirit of the present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description of the invention.
第1A至1K圖係本發明溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體之製造方法之一第一較佳實施例。如第1A圖所示,首先,形成一圖案層115於一基材上。此基材可以是一矽基板(substrate)或是一表面覆蓋有磊晶層(epitaxial layer)110之矽基板100。圖中係以一表面覆蓋有磊晶層110之矽基板100為例。此矽基板100具有高濃度之第一導電型摻雜物,磊晶層110與矽基板100之導電型相同,但具有較低的摻雜濃度。圖案層115係覆蓋於磊晶層110上,並具有一第一開口117以定義一閘極溝槽於磊晶層110內。1A to 1K are diagrams showing a first preferred embodiment of a method of manufacturing a trench type power MOS field effect transistor of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1A, first, a pattern layer 115 is formed on a substrate. The substrate may be a substrate or a germanium substrate 100 having a surface covered with an epitaxial layer 110. The figure is exemplified by a germanium substrate 100 having a surface covered with an epitaxial layer 110. The germanium substrate 100 has a high concentration of the first conductivity type dopant, and the epitaxial layer 110 has the same conductivity type as the germanium substrate 100, but has a lower doping concentration. The pattern layer 115 covers the epitaxial layer 110 and has a first opening 117 to define a gate trench in the epitaxial layer 110.
隨後,如第1B圖所示,形成一第一間隔層(spacer)結構120a於圖案層115之第一開口117內,以定義出一寬度較窄之第三開口119於第一開口117內。此第一間隔層結構120a的製作方式可採取一般之間隔層結構的製程。舉例來說,可先沿著圖案層115的表面起伏,沉積一間隔層材料層;隨後,再以非等向性蝕刻方式,去除覆蓋於圖案層115之上表面與覆蓋於第一開口117底面之部分,留下位於第一開口117側壁上的第一間隔層結構120a。依此,間隔層材料層所選用之材料必須與圖案層115不同,以達到選擇性蝕刻的目的。舉例來說,本實施例選用氧化矽材料製作圖案層115,選用氮化矽材料製作第一間隔層結構120a。接下來,以圖案層115與第一間隔層結構120a為蝕刻遮罩,蝕刻磊晶層110以形成閘極溝槽130於磊晶層110內。此閘極溝槽130之開口寬度係大致對應於第三開口119之寬度,而會小於第一開口117的寬度。第三開口119與第一開口117之寬度的差異,主要是由間隔層材料層之厚度所決定。Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1B, a first spacer structure 120a is formed in the first opening 117 of the pattern layer 115 to define a third opening 119 having a narrow width in the first opening 117. The first spacer layer structure 120a can be fabricated in a generally spaced layer structure process. For example, a spacer layer material layer may be deposited along the surface of the pattern layer 115; then, the upper surface of the pattern layer 115 and the bottom surface of the first opening 117 are removed by an anisotropic etching. A portion of the first spacer structure 120a on the sidewall of the first opening 117 is left. Accordingly, the material selected for the spacer material layer must be different from the pattern layer 115 for the purpose of selective etching. For example, in this embodiment, the pattern layer 115 is formed by using a yttria material, and the first spacer layer structure 120a is formed by using a tantalum nitride material. Next, the patterned layer 115 and the first spacer layer structure 120a are etched, and the epitaxial layer 110 is etched to form the gate trench 130 in the epitaxial layer 110. The opening width of the gate trench 130 substantially corresponds to the width of the third opening 119 and is smaller than the width of the first opening 117. The difference in width between the third opening 119 and the first opening 117 is mainly determined by the thickness of the spacer layer material layer.
隨後,如第1C圖所示,以氧化方式形成一第一氧化層132於磊晶層110之裸露表面。由於磊晶層110的上表面仍然為圖案層115所覆蓋,因此,第一氧化層132係形成於閘極溝槽130內,覆蓋閘極溝槽130之側壁與底面。值得注意的是,第一氧化層132的形成,會同時消耗部分之磊晶層材料,而使閘極溝槽130之側壁向外推移。隨後,移除第一氧化層132以擴大閘極溝槽130之寬度,使閘極溝槽130之底部寬度大於第三開口119的寬度。就一較佳實施例而言,前述第一氧化層132可以係一犧牲氧化層。然後,如第1D圖所示,形成一閘極氧化層134於閘極溝槽130之內側表面。接下來,如第1E圖所示,以離子植入方式形成一重摻雜區140於閘極溝槽130下方之磊晶層110內。值得注意的是,雖然第三開口119的寬度小於閘極溝槽130的底部寬度,由於離子植入步驟之特性,形成於閘極溝槽130下方之重摻雜區140依然可以橫向擴張覆蓋整個閘極溝槽130的底面。又,為確保重摻雜區140完全覆蓋閘極溝槽130的底面,本實施例亦可選用斜向離子植入步驟,或是於離子植入步驟後增加一熱擴散步驟。Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1C, a first oxide layer 132 is formed on the exposed surface of the epitaxial layer 110 by oxidation. Since the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 110 is still covered by the pattern layer 115, the first oxide layer 132 is formed in the gate trench 130 to cover the sidewall and the bottom surface of the gate trench 130. It should be noted that the formation of the first oxide layer 132 consumes part of the epitaxial layer material at the same time, and the sidewall of the gate trench 130 is outwardly displaced. Subsequently, the first oxide layer 132 is removed to enlarge the width of the gate trench 130 such that the bottom width of the gate trench 130 is greater than the width of the third opening 119. In a preferred embodiment, the first oxide layer 132 can be a sacrificial oxide layer. Then, as shown in FIG. 1D, a gate oxide layer 134 is formed on the inner side surface of the gate trench 130. Next, as shown in FIG. 1E, a heavily doped region 140 is formed by ion implantation into the epitaxial layer 110 under the gate trench 130. It should be noted that although the width of the third opening 119 is smaller than the bottom width of the gate trench 130, due to the characteristics of the ion implantation step, the heavily doped region 140 formed under the gate trench 130 can still be laterally expanded to cover the entire The bottom surface of the gate trench 130. Moreover, in order to ensure that the heavily doped region 140 completely covers the bottom surface of the gate trench 130, the embodiment may also use an oblique ion implantation step or a thermal diffusion step after the ion implantation step.
然後,如第1F圖所示,透過圖案層115與第一間隔層結構120a所定義之第三開口119,以非等向性蝕刻技術蝕刻閘極溝槽130底部的閘極氧化層134,以形成一第二開口136裸露重摻雜區140。此第二開口136係大致對準第三開口119。第二開口136之寬度係小於閘極溝槽130之底部寬度。Then, as shown in FIG. 1F, the gate oxide layer 134 at the bottom of the gate trench 130 is etched by the anisotropic etching technique through the pattern layer 115 and the third opening 119 defined by the first spacer layer structure 120a. A second opening 136 is formed to expose the heavily doped region 140. This second opening 136 is substantially aligned with the third opening 119. The width of the second opening 136 is less than the width of the bottom of the gate trench 130.
然後,如第1G圖所示,以氧化方式,直接形成一厚氧化層138於第二開口136內。此厚氧化層138係貫穿重摻雜區140,以形成二個第一重摻雜區140a於厚氧化層138之兩側。就一較佳實施例而言,為確保此厚氧化層138具有足夠之厚度,得以延伸至重摻雜區140下方,可選用溼氧化製程,以提高氧化層之成長速度。在利用厚氧化層138以將重摻雜區140區分出二個第一重摻雜區140a之步驟後,亦可額外施以一熱擴散步驟,以調整第一重摻雜區140a之範圍(如圖中所示,第一重摻雜區140a即由虛線部分劃定的範圍擴張至實線部分劃定的範圍)。Then, as shown in FIG. 1G, a thick oxide layer 138 is directly formed in the second opening 136 by oxidation. The thick oxide layer 138 extends through the heavily doped region 140 to form two first heavily doped regions 140a on either side of the thick oxide layer 138. In a preferred embodiment, to ensure that the thick oxide layer 138 has sufficient thickness to extend below the heavily doped region 140, a wet oxidation process may be employed to increase the growth rate of the oxide layer. After the step of using the thick oxide layer 138 to distinguish the heavily doped regions 140 from the two first heavily doped regions 140a, a thermal diffusion step may be additionally applied to adjust the extent of the first heavily doped regions 140a ( As shown in the figure, the first heavily doped region 140a is expanded from the range defined by the broken line portion to the range defined by the solid line portion).
接下來,移除第一間隔層結構120a,使閘極溝槽130之整個開口裸露於外。然後,如第1H圖所示,於閘極溝槽130與圖案層115之第一開口117內依序形成一閘極多晶矽結構150、一第一介電結構152與一第二介電結構154。閘極多晶矽結構150係位於閘極溝槽130內。第一介電結構152與第二介電結構154係覆蓋閘極多晶矽結構150,且大致位於圖案層115之第一開口117內。在此步驟中,第二介電結構154所選用的材料與圖案層115之構成材料不同,以達到選擇性蝕刻的目的。第一介電結構152之構成材料則無此限制。Next, the first spacer structure 120a is removed such that the entire opening of the gate trench 130 is exposed. Then, as shown in FIG. 1H, a gate polysilicon structure 150, a first dielectric structure 152 and a second dielectric structure 154 are sequentially formed in the first opening 117 of the gate trench 130 and the pattern layer 115. . The gate polysilicon structure 150 is located within the gate trench 130. The first dielectric structure 152 and the second dielectric structure 154 cover the gate polysilicon structure 150 and are located substantially in the first opening 117 of the pattern layer 115. In this step, the material selected for the second dielectric structure 154 is different from the constituent material of the pattern layer 115 for the purpose of selective etching. The constituent material of the first dielectric structure 152 is not limited thereto.
然後,如第1I圖所示,以選擇性蝕刻方式,移除圖案層115,並保留覆蓋於閘極多晶矽結構150上之第一介電結構152與第二介電結構154。然後,以離子植入方式,形成一本體區160環繞閘極溝槽130。由於本體區160之導電型與第一重摻雜區140a不同,因此,形成於閘極溝槽130下方之第一重摻雜區140a可以防止本體區160擴散覆蓋閘極溝槽130之底部,而導致電晶體元件失效。此外,第一重摻雜區140a的存在亦有助於改變本體區160之下表面的輪廓,以提升電晶體元件之雪崩電壓。接下來,以另一道離子植入步驟,形成摻雜區170於本體區160之表面層。Then, as shown in FIG. 1I, the pattern layer 115 is removed by selective etching, and the first dielectric structure 152 and the second dielectric structure 154 overlying the gate polysilicon structure 150 are retained. Then, a body region 160 is formed around the gate trench 130 by ion implantation. Since the conductivity type of the body region 160 is different from the first heavily doped region 140a, the first heavily doped region 140a formed under the gate trench 130 can prevent the body region 160 from diffusing to cover the bottom of the gate trench 130. This causes the transistor component to fail. In addition, the presence of the first heavily doped region 140a also helps to change the profile of the lower surface of the body region 160 to increase the avalanche voltage of the transistor element. Next, a doping region 170 is formed on the surface layer of the body region 160 in another ion implantation step.
隨後,如第1J圖所示,形成一第二間隔層結構156於第一介電結構152與第二介電結構154之側邊,以定義出源極摻雜區170a與源極接觸窗165的範圍。然後再以此第二間隔層結構156為遮罩,蝕刻磊晶層110,以形成源極接觸窗165貫穿摻雜區170,同時在源極接觸窗165之側邊形成源極摻雜區170a。最後,如第1K圖所示,以離子植入方式形成重摻雜區180於源極接觸窗165的底部,以降低金屬層與本體區160間的接觸電阻。然後沉積一源極金屬層190於磊晶層110上,以電性連接源極摻雜區170a與重摻雜區180。Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1J, a second spacer layer structure 156 is formed on the side of the first dielectric structure 152 and the second dielectric structure 154 to define a source doping region 170a and a source contact window 165. The scope. Then, the second spacer layer structure 156 is used as a mask, and the epitaxial layer 110 is etched to form the source contact window 165 through the doping region 170 while the source doping region 170a is formed on the side of the source contact window 165. . Finally, as shown in FIG. 1K, the heavily doped region 180 is formed at the bottom of the source contact window 165 by ion implantation to reduce the contact resistance between the metal layer and the body region 160. A source metal layer 190 is then deposited on the epitaxial layer 110 to electrically connect the source doped region 170a with the heavily doped region 180.
第2A至2F圖係本發明溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體之製造方法之一第二較佳實施例。如第2A圖所示,不同於前揭本發明之第一實施例,係於圖案層115之第一開口117內製作第一間隔層結構120a,以定義閘極溝槽130之開口寬度,本實施例省卻第一間隔層結構120a之製作,直接利用圖案層215之開口定義閘極溝槽230之開口寬度。如第2B至2D圖所示,本實施例用以製作第一氧化層232、閘極氧化層234、重摻雜區240、第二開口236、厚氧化層238與第一重摻雜區240a之步驟與本發明第一實施例大致相同,在此不予贅述。2A to 2F are diagrams showing a second preferred embodiment of the method for producing a trench type power MOS field effect transistor of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2A, unlike the first embodiment of the present invention, the first spacer layer structure 120a is formed in the first opening 117 of the pattern layer 115 to define the opening width of the gate trench 130. The embodiment eliminates the fabrication of the first spacer layer structure 120a, and directly defines the opening width of the gate trench 230 by using the opening of the pattern layer 215. As shown in FIGS. 2B to 2D, the present embodiment is used to fabricate a first oxide layer 232, a gate oxide layer 234, a heavily doped region 240, a second opening 236, a thick oxide layer 238, and a first heavily doped region 240a. The steps are substantially the same as the first embodiment of the present invention, and are not described herein.
惟,由於本實施例未有第一間隔層結構120a之製作,本實施例之圖案層215的開口寬度會小於閘極溝槽230之開口寬度。為確保閘極溝槽230之整個開口係裸露於外,以利後續閘極多晶矽結構250之製作步驟的進行,如第2E圖所示,本實施例係於形成第二開口236的步驟後,針對圖案層215施以一蝕刻步驟,以擴大圖案層215之開口寬度(圖中實線部分即顯示蝕刻後的圖案層215’)。值得注意的是,為了避免此蝕刻步驟同時移除位於閘極溝槽230內之閘極氧化層234,圖案層215之構成材料需與閘極氧化層234不同。舉例來說,本實施例係選用氮化矽製作圖案層215。However, since the first spacer layer structure 120a is not formed in the embodiment, the opening width of the pattern layer 215 of the embodiment may be smaller than the opening width of the gate trench 230. In order to ensure that the entire opening of the gate trench 230 is exposed, in order to facilitate the fabrication of the subsequent gate polysilicon structure 250, as shown in FIG. 2E, this embodiment is after the step of forming the second opening 236. An etching step is applied to the pattern layer 215 to enlarge the opening width of the pattern layer 215 (the solid line portion in the figure shows the etched pattern layer 215'). It should be noted that in order to avoid this etching step while removing the gate oxide layer 234 located in the gate trench 230, the constituent material of the pattern layer 215 is different from the gate oxide layer 234. For example, in this embodiment, the pattern layer 215 is formed by using tantalum nitride.
然後,如第2F圖所示,依序形成閘極多晶矽結構250與介電結構252於閘極溝槽230與圖案層215’之開口內。其中,閘極多晶矽結構250係完全位於閘極溝槽230內,介電結構252係覆蓋閘極多晶矽結構250,並且由閘極溝槽230向上延伸至圖案層215’之開口內。相較於本發明之第一實施例,本實施例係以一介電結構252取代第1H圖之第一介電結構152與第二介電結構154。惟,介電結構252所選用的材料需與圖案層215之構成材料不同,以達到選擇性蝕刻的目的。舉例來說,本實施例可選用氮化矽製作圖案層215,選用氧化矽製作介電結構252,以達到選擇性蝕刻的目的。Then, as shown in Fig. 2F, the gate polysilicon structure 250 and the dielectric structure 252 are sequentially formed in the openings of the gate trench 230 and the pattern layer 215'. The gate polysilicon structure 250 is completely within the gate trench 230. The dielectric structure 252 covers the gate polysilicon structure 250 and extends upwardly from the gate trench 230 into the opening of the pattern layer 215'. Compared with the first embodiment of the present invention, the first dielectric structure 152 and the second dielectric structure 154 of FIG. 1H are replaced by a dielectric structure 252. However, the material selected for the dielectric structure 252 needs to be different from the constituent material of the pattern layer 215 for the purpose of selective etching. For example, in this embodiment, the pattern layer 215 may be formed by using tantalum nitride, and the dielectric structure 252 may be formed by using tantalum oxide for the purpose of selective etching.
第3A至3C圖係本發明溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體之製造方法之一第三較佳實施例。第3A圖係對應於第一實施例之第1F圖的製作步驟。如圖中所示,本實施例在透過圖案層115與第一間隔層結構120a蝕刻閘極溝槽330底部之閘極氧化層134之步驟中,除了形成第二開口336外,還在第二開口336下方形成一窄溝槽337,貫穿重摻雜區,以形成二個第一重摻雜區340a於窄溝槽337之兩側。此窄溝槽337之開口寬度係對應於第二開口336之寬度。隨後,如第3B圖所示,以沉積與回蝕製程,形成厚氧化層338至少填滿窄溝槽337。雖然第3B圖之步驟係以沉積與回蝕製程形成厚氧化層338於窄溝槽337內。不過,如第3C圖所示,本實施例亦可以採取氧化方式,在窄溝槽337內形成厚氧化層338’。3A to 3C are diagrams showing a third preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method of the trench type power metal oxide field effect transistor of the present invention. Fig. 3A corresponds to the fabrication steps of the 1Fth drawing of the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the step of etching the gate oxide layer 134 at the bottom of the gate trench 330 through the pattern layer 115 and the first spacer layer structure 120a, in addition to forming the second opening 336, A narrow trench 337 is formed under the opening 336 to penetrate the heavily doped region to form two first heavily doped regions 340a on opposite sides of the narrow trench 337. The opening width of the narrow groove 337 corresponds to the width of the second opening 336. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3B, a thick oxide layer 338 is formed to fill at least the narrow trenches 337 by a deposition and etch back process. Although the step of FIG. 3B is to form a thick oxide layer 338 in the narrow trench 337 by a deposition and etch back process. However, as shown in Fig. 3C, this embodiment can also take the form of oxidation to form a thick oxide layer 338' in the narrow trenches 337.
第4A至4C圖係本發明溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體之製造方法之一第四較佳實施例。第4A圖係大致對應於第3B圖之製作步驟,惟,如第4A圖所示,本實施例於製作厚氧化層438之步驟時,並未有重摻雜區形成於閘極溝槽430下方。換言之,本實施例係於完成厚氧化層438之製作後,方始形成第一重摻雜區於閘極溝槽430下方。4A to 4C are views showing a fourth preferred embodiment of the method for producing a trench type power MOS field effect transistor of the present invention. 4A is substantially corresponding to the fabrication step of FIG. 3B. However, as shown in FIG. 4A, in the step of fabricating the thick oxide layer 438 in this embodiment, no heavily doped regions are formed in the gate trench 430. Below. In other words, in the present embodiment, after the fabrication of the thick oxide layer 438 is completed, the first heavily doped region is formed under the gate trench 430.
如第4B圖所示,在完成厚氧化層438之製作後,移除第一間隔層結構120a,使閘極溝槽430之整個開口裸露於外。然後,以離子植入方式,形成二個第一重摻雜區440a於厚氧化層438兩側。As shown in FIG. 4B, after the fabrication of the thick oxide layer 438 is completed, the first spacer structure 120a is removed, leaving the entire opening of the gate trench 430 exposed. Then, two first heavily doped regions 440a are formed on both sides of the thick oxide layer 438 by ion implantation.
第4B圖之離子植入步驟係採取正向離子植入方式,因此,在離子植入步驟前,須先移除第一間隔層結構120a,以確保摻雜物可順利植入厚氧化層438兩側之磊晶層110內。不過,本實施例並不限於此。如第4C圖所示,本實施例亦可採取斜向離子植入方式形成第一重摻雜區440a’。此時,即不須於離子植入步驟前,預先移除第一間隔層結構120a,而可利用此第一間隔層結構120a為遮罩,防止摻雜物植入位於閘極溝槽430側邊的磊晶層110內。The ion implantation step of FIG. 4B adopts a forward ion implantation mode. Therefore, before the ion implantation step, the first spacer layer structure 120a must be removed to ensure that the dopant can be smoothly implanted into the thick oxide layer 438. Inside the epitaxial layer 110 on both sides. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. As shown in Fig. 4C, this embodiment can also form the first heavily doped region 440a' by oblique ion implantation. At this time, the first spacer layer structure 120a is removed before the ion implantation step, and the first spacer layer structure 120a can be used as a mask to prevent dopant implantation on the side of the gate trench 430. Inside the epitaxial layer 110.
第5圖係本發明溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體之製造方法之一第五較佳實施例。第5圖係對應於第1H圖之製作步驟。如第5圖所示,本實施例係以一介電結構552取代第1H圖之第一介電結構152與第二介電結構154。惟,介電結構552所選用的材料需與圖案層115之構成材料不同,以達到選擇性蝕刻的目的。本實施例之後續步驟與本發明第一實施例大致相同,在此不予贅述。Fig. 5 is a fifth preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method of the trench type power MOS field effect transistor of the present invention. Figure 5 corresponds to the fabrication steps of Figure 1H. As shown in FIG. 5, this embodiment replaces the first dielectric structure 152 and the second dielectric structure 154 of FIG. 1H with a dielectric structure 552. However, the material selected for the dielectric structure 552 needs to be different from the constituent material of the pattern layer 115 for the purpose of selective etching. The subsequent steps of this embodiment are substantially the same as the first embodiment of the present invention, and are not described herein.
第6A至6C圖係本發明溝槽式功率金氧半場效電晶體之製造方法之一第六較佳實施例。第6A圖係對應於第1H圖之製作步驟。如第6A圖所示,本實施例係於閘極溝槽與圖案層115之開口內,依序形成一閘極多晶矽結構650與一介電結構652。此閘極多晶矽結構650之上表面與閘極溝槽之開口係間隔一預設距離,介電結構652則是由閘極溝槽內向上延伸至圖案層115之開口內。6A to 6C are diagrams showing a sixth preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method of the trench type power metal oxide field effect transistor of the present invention. Figure 6A corresponds to the fabrication steps of Figure 1H. As shown in FIG. 6A, the present embodiment is formed in the opening of the gate trench and the pattern layer 115, and sequentially forms a gate polysilicon structure 650 and a dielectric structure 652. The upper surface of the gate polysilicon structure 650 is spaced apart from the opening of the gate trench by a predetermined distance, and the dielectric structure 652 extends upward from the gate trench into the opening of the pattern layer 115.
隨後,如第6B圖所示,以平坦化製程,移除位於磊晶層110上之圖案層115與突出於閘極溝槽之部分介電結構652,而留下部分介電結構652a覆蓋閘極多晶矽結構650。舉例來說,此步驟可採用典型之化學機械研磨製程。接下來,直接利用餘留下來的介電結構652a為遮罩,選擇性蝕刻磊晶層110,使介電結構652a突出磊晶層110。然後,以離子植入方式,依序形成本體區660與摻雜區670於磊晶層110中。然後,如第6C圖所示,形成第二間隔層結構656於介電結構652a之側邊,以定義源極摻雜區670a與源極接觸窗665的範圍。接下來,以第二間隔層結構656為遮罩蝕刻摻雜區670,以形成源極接觸窗665貫穿摻雜區670。然後,以離子植入方式,形成一重摻雜區680於源極接觸窗665之底部。本實施例之後續步驟與本發明第一實施例大致相同,在此不予贅述。Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6B, the pattern layer 115 on the epitaxial layer 110 and the portion of the dielectric structure 652 protruding from the gate trench are removed by a planarization process, leaving a portion of the dielectric structure 652a to cover the gate. Very polycrystalline structure 650. For example, this step can be performed using a typical CMP process. Next, the remaining dielectric structure 652a is directly used as a mask, and the epitaxial layer 110 is selectively etched to expose the dielectric layer 652a to the epitaxial layer 110. Then, the body region 660 and the doping region 670 are sequentially formed in the epitaxial layer 110 by ion implantation. Then, as shown in FIG. 6C, a second spacer layer structure 656 is formed on the side of the dielectric structure 652a to define a range of the source doping region 670a and the source contact window 665. Next, the doped region 670 is etched with the second spacer layer structure 656 as a mask to form the source contact window 665 through the doped region 670. Then, a heavily doped region 680 is formed at the bottom of the source contact window 665 by ion implantation. The subsequent steps of this embodiment are substantially the same as the first embodiment of the present invention, and are not described herein.
如前述,本發明係透過第一氧化層之製作,擴大閘極溝槽之寬度,並利用圖案層之開口在閘極溝槽底部之閘極氧化層中形成第二開口,以製作厚氧化層於閘極溝槽之底面的中央處。此外,本發明利用此圖案層在閘極多晶矽結構上方形成突出於磊晶層之介電結構,並於此介電結構兩側製作間隔層結構以定義源極摻雜區與源極接觸窗的位置。因此,本發明之製作方法僅需使用一道光罩,即可同時定義出閘極溝槽、位於閘極溝槽底面中央處之厚氧化層、以及源極摻雜區的位置。因而可以節省成本,同時避免因為使用多道光罩所容易產生之對準誤差。As described above, the present invention expands the width of the gate trench through the fabrication of the first oxide layer, and forms a second opening in the gate oxide layer at the bottom of the gate trench by using the opening of the pattern layer to form a thick oxide layer. At the center of the bottom surface of the gate trench. In addition, the present invention utilizes the pattern layer to form a dielectric structure protruding above the epitaxial layer over the gate polysilicon structure, and a spacer layer structure is formed on both sides of the dielectric structure to define a source doped region and a source contact window. position. Therefore, the fabrication method of the present invention only needs to use a mask to simultaneously define the gate trench, the thick oxide layer at the center of the bottom surface of the gate trench, and the position of the source doped region. This saves costs while avoiding alignment errors that are easily caused by the use of multiple reticle.
其次,本發明之製造方法係於閘極溝槽之底面中央處製作厚氧化層,因而可以降低閘極對汲極之電容,改善切換損失。此外,本發明之製造方法同時在此厚氧化層之兩側分別形成一第一重摻雜區,其導電型與本體區相異,因而有助於調整本體區之輪廓,以提升雪崩能量。Secondly, the manufacturing method of the present invention is to form a thick oxide layer at the center of the bottom surface of the gate trench, thereby reducing the capacitance of the gate to the drain and improving the switching loss. In addition, the manufacturing method of the present invention simultaneously forms a first heavily doped region on both sides of the thick oxide layer, and the conductivity type is different from the body region, thereby helping to adjust the contour of the body region to enhance the avalanche energy.
