Abstract
一種碳化矽半導體元件以及其製造方法,藉由設置一通道控制區域,並令該通道控制區域具有一從一第一摻雜邊界開始遞增,並於該第一摻雜邊界與一第二摻雜邊界之間達到一最大值,而後朝該第二摻雜邊界遞減的雜質濃度分布,使得該碳化矽半導體元件,能夠在不犧牲臨界電壓的情況下,降低導通電阻,提升其汲極電流。
Description
本發明為有關一種半導體元件,尤指一種碳化矽半導體元件以及其製造方法。
半導體功率元件在特性上,要求在設計的耐壓 (blocking voltage),應具備盡量小的導通電阻、低反向漏電流、以及較快的開關速度,以減少操作時的導通損耗(conduction loss)及切換損耗(switching loss)。而碳化矽(silicon carbide,SiC)由於具有寬能隙 (其中4H-SiC的 Eg
可達3.26eV)、高臨界崩潰電場強度(2.2MV/cm)及高熱導係數(4.9W/cm-K)等特性,被認為是功率開關元件的極佳材料。碳化矽也是唯一可藉由熱氧化形成氧化層的化合物半導體,因此可以適合用來製作MOSFET(metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor)與IGBT(insulated gate bipolar transistor)等MOS控制開關元件(MOS controlled switches)。
不過當以熱氧化方式形成閘極氧化層時,未完全反應的碳殘留在閘極氧化層與碳化矽之間的介面,會形成Si空缺(silicon vacancy)、碳簇(carbon cluster) 或間隙碳(carbon interstitial) 等缺陷,而在能隙內的不同位置形成能態,最終成為受體陷阱 (acceptor traps) 或施體陷阱 (donor traps)。一般功率半導體用途的SiC MOSFET以n型通道MOSFET為主,當p型井反轉形成通道時,靠近導帶的受體陷阱一方面會補捉電子,減少了能夠用來傳導電流的電子密度,一方面填入了電子的受體陷阱又會形成負電荷,對電子的傳導造成嚴重的庫侖散射,而造成非常低的通道遷移率,大幅增加SiC MOSFET的導通電阻。改善通道遷移率以降低導通電阻的方式包括以nitric oxide (NO) 、nitrous oxide (N2
O)或POCl3
等氣體以氧化後退火(post-oxidation annealing)的方式鈍化介面陷阱等(提供非專利參考文獻如下:

然而,目前已知的各種改善降低導通電阻的方法,最常見的妥協(trade off),就是同時也使得MOS元件的臨界電壓(threshold voltage)降低,使得元件在操作時有較高的誤開風險。

其中,該通道控制區域具有一從該第一摻雜邊界開始遞增,並於該第一摻雜邊界與該第二摻雜邊界之間達到一最大值,而後朝該第二摻雜邊界遞減的雜質濃度分布。
為達上述目的,本發明還提供一種製造碳化矽半導體元件的方法,包含以下步驟:
步驟1:提供一具有一第一導電性的第一半導體層;
步驟2:提供一位於該第一半導體層上的第一遮罩;

如此一來,本發明藉由設置該通道控制區域具有從該第一摻雜邊界開始遞增,並於該第一摻雜邊界與該第二摻雜邊界之間達到該最大值,而後朝該第二摻雜邊界遞減的該雜質濃度分布,令該碳化矽半導體元件,不僅能改善其導通電阻,提升其汲極電流,且同時能夠不犧牲臨界電壓,避免元件在操作時產生誤開的風險。

步驟3:如『圖6C』所示,透過該第一遮罩50利用一第一離子佈植於該第一半導體層10形成具有該第二導電性的該第一摻雜區域11,該第一摻雜區域11具有一第一摻雜邊界111;在本實施例中,該第一離子佈植所使用之摻質例如可為鋁(Aluminum)或硼(Boron),該第一離子佈植的一射入方向與該第一半導體層10的該法線N形成一夾角θ,該夾角θ介於2度至45度之間,而透過該第一遮罩50植入該第一半導體層10。『圖6C』的該第一摻雜區域11僅為舉例示意,實際進行離子佈植時,係固定該第一離子佈植的該射入方向,並讓該第一半導體層10相對該射入方向旋轉,以形成該第一摻雜區域11。
步驟4:如『圖6D』所示,透過該第一遮罩50利用一第二離子佈植於該第一摻雜區域11形成具有該第一導電性的該第二摻雜區域12,該第二摻雜區域12具有一第二摻雜邊界121,在此實施例中,該第二離子佈植所使用之摻質可為磷(Phosphorus)或氮(Nitrogen),該第二離子佈植的一射入方向與該第一半導體層10的該法線N呈平行,透過該第一遮罩50植入該第一摻雜區域11。

步驟6:如『圖6F』所示,於該第一半導體層10上形成該第二半導體層20,該第二半導體層20為利用一磊晶製程於大於1500°C之溫度下形成。
步驟7:如『圖6G』所示,於該第二半導體層20上形成該絕緣層30,該絕緣層30可為使用加熱反應或沉積方式,例如熱氧化、化學氣相沉積(chemical vapor deposition)或原子層沉積(atomic layer deposition,ALD) 形成的二氧化矽、氮氧化矽、氮化矽、氧化鋁及氮化鋁層,並選擇使用在含有氧化亞氮、一氧化氮、氮、氬、氨、氫、水、磷化氫或三氯氧磷的氣體環境下進行之氧化或沉積後之退火製程,而形成該絕緣層30。

在本實施例中,要說明的是,由於該第一離子佈植的該射入方向與該第一半導體的該法線N之間形成該夾角θ,使得該第一離子於植入該第一半導體層10後,得以形成一沿著該第二半導體層20並介於該第一摻雜邊界111與該第二摻雜邊界121之間的通道控制區域112,令該通道控制區域112具有從該第一摻雜邊界111開始遞增,並於該第一摻雜邊界111與該第二摻雜邊界121之間達到該最大值X,而後朝該第二摻雜邊界121遞減的該雜質濃度分布,藉由最佳化該第二半導體層20之厚度與濃度梯度分布與該第一離子佈植之植入能量與劑量,可得到一最佳化之該通道控制區域112之該雜質濃度分布,而達到如『圖5』之所示在降低導通電阻的同時提高臨界電壓之效果。
