在分立的功率MOS場效電晶體結合感測場效電晶體的元 件及方法 The discrete power MOS field effect transistor combined with the element of the sensing field effect transistor Parts and methods

本發明主要是關於半導體元件,更具體地說,是關於包含功率MOS場效電晶體及一個或多個帶有共閘極和汲極端以及分立的源極端的感測MOS場效電晶體在內的半導體元件。 The present invention relates generally to semiconductor components, and more particularly to a sensing MOS field effect transistor including a power MOS field effect transistor and one or more source terminals with common gate and 汲 extremes and discrete sources. Semiconductor component.

在電路中,確定電流流經負載的方法之一就是使用金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體(MOS場效電晶體),用於電流感測。傳統的電流感測功率MOS場效電晶體通常包含上千個並聯在一起的電晶體單元,共享共汲極、源極和閘極電極。元件內的每個電晶體單元或元件都是相同的,元件汲極端的電流在它們之間也相同。在這種設計中常見的情況是,其中某些電晶體的源極電極與剩餘的源極電極分開,連接到一個分立的源極端上。因此,所產生的電流感測MOS場效電晶體可以看成是相當於兩個或多個並聯的電晶體,具有共閘極和汲極端,以及分立的源極端。這些電晶體中的第一部分,包含電流感測功率MOS場 效電晶體中的大多數的電晶體單元,通常稱為主場效電晶體。第二部分,包含具有分立的源極端的多個電晶體單元,稱為感測場效電晶體。 In the circuit, one of the methods to determine the current flowing through the load is to use a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOS field effect transistor) for current sensing. Conventional current sensing power MOS field effect transistors typically contain thousands of transistor units connected in parallel, sharing a common drain, source and gate electrode. Each transistor unit or component within the component is identical, and the current at the extremes of the component is the same between them. A common situation in this design is where the source electrodes of some of the transistors are separated from the remaining source electrodes and connected to a separate source terminal. Thus, the resulting current sense MOS field effect transistor can be viewed as equivalent to two or more parallel transistors, with common gate and 汲 extremes, and discrete source terminals. The first part of these transistors, including the current sensing power MOS field Most of the transistor units in the effect transistor are commonly referred to as main field effect transistors. The second part, comprising a plurality of transistor units with discrete source terminals, is called a field effect transistor.

在使用過程中,感測場效電晶體僅僅傳導汲極端上的一小部分電流,這一小部分電流與感測比n成反比,其中n為電流比,取決於主場效電晶體中的電晶體單元數量與感測場效電晶體中的電晶體單元數量之比。定義感測比n,是為了使感測場效電晶體和主場效電晶體的源極端保持在同一電位下進行傳導。當感測比已知時,流經元件的總電流,以及元件所連接的負載上的負載電流,可以藉由測量感測場效電晶體上的源極電流(即在汲極和源極電極之間,流經感測場效電晶體的電流通路的電流)計算出來。 During use, the sensing field effect transistor only conducts a small portion of the current at the 汲 terminal. This small portion of the current is inversely proportional to the sensing ratio n, where n is the current ratio, depending on the power in the main field effect transistor. The ratio of the number of crystal units to the number of transistor units in the field-effect transistor. The sensing ratio n is defined so that the source terminals of the sensing field effect transistor and the main field effect transistor are kept at the same potential for conduction. When the sense ratio is known, the total current flowing through the component, and the load current on the load to which the component is connected, can be measured by sensing the source current on the field effect transistor (ie, at the drain and source electrodes) The current flowing through the current path of the sensing field effect transistor is calculated.

The two transistors are biased and operated in a linear mode to sense the source-drain voltage Vds of the transistor compared to the predetermined portion of Vds of the power transistor. The resulting control signal indicates the result of the comparison. In one embodiment, the control signal is used in the feedback device for driving the Vds of the sensing transistor to a predetermined portion Vds of the power transistor. Thus, the level of current carried on the sensing transistor is made equal to the predetermined portion of the current carried on the power transistor.

儘管為了解釋說明,以下詳細說明包含了許多具體細節,但是本領域的任何技術人員都應理解基於以下細節的多種變化和修正都屬本發明的範圍。因此,本發明的典型實施例的提出,對於請求保護之發明沒有任何一般性的損失,而且不附加任何限制。 While the following detailed description contains numerous specific details Thus, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are presented without any general loss to the claimed invention without any limitation.

請參照第1圖、第1A圖和第2圖,以理解本發明之實施例之各個方面。第1圖表示依據本發明之一實施例之半導體元件100之俯視平面圖。如第1圖所示,半導體元件100包含一個共同基板101、一個沉積在共同基板101中的主場效電晶體102及一個或多個也沉積在共同基板中的感測場效電晶體104。如第1圖中之示例所示,感測場效電晶體104可以位於被主場效電晶體102的主動區包圍的區域中。主場效電晶體102可以是金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體(MOS場效電晶體),通常是功率MOS場效電晶體,可以將其配置成條紋單元或封閉式單元。感測場效電晶體104也可以是金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體(MOS場效電晶體),從而配置成條紋單元或封閉式單元。主場效電晶體102和感測場效電晶體104都形成於共同基板101。每個主場效電晶體102和感測場效電晶體104都含有各自的源極、閘極和汲極結構。源極結構形成在共同基板101的本體層中。汲極墊103(參閱第2圖)形成在基板101的背部。 Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 1A and FIG. 2 for understanding various aspects of embodiments of the present invention. 1 shows a top plan view of a semiconductor device 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the semiconductor device 100 includes a common substrate 101, a main field effect transistor 102 deposited in the common substrate 101, and one or more sensing field effect transistors 104 also deposited in the common substrate. As shown in the example of FIG. 1, the sense field effect transistor 104 can be located in a region surrounded by the active region of the main field effect transistor 102. The main field effect transistor 102 can be a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOS field effect transistor), typically a power MOS field effect transistor, which can be configured as a stripe unit or a closed unit. The sense field effect transistor 104 can also be a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOS field effect transistor) configured to be a stripe unit or a closed cell. Both the main field effect transistor 102 and the sense field effect transistor 104 are formed on the common substrate 101. Each of the main field effect transistor 102 and the sense field effect transistor 104 has its own source, gate and drain structure. The source structure is formed in the body layer of the common substrate 101. A drain pad 103 (see FIG. 2) is formed on the back of the substrate 101.

構成主場效電晶體102的閘極和源極結構,一般位於主場效電晶體源極金屬106的下方。感測場效電晶體104的源極結構電連接到感測場效電晶體源極金屬108上。構成感測場效電晶體104的閘極和源極結構,一般位於一部分感測場效電晶體源極金屬108的下方。然而,為了避免引線接合作用帶來的損害,這些結構通常並不位於感測場效電晶體源極墊118(有時也稱為感測墊)的下方。由於感測場效電晶體單元的數量通常比主場效電晶體單元的數量小多個數量級,因此這種對感測場效電晶體單元造成的損害,將極大地影響所需的感測比的準確性。雖然主場效電晶體元件也會受到引線接合作用所帶來的損害, 但是受損的主場效電晶體單元的數量比主場效電晶體單元的總數小得多,從而不會極大地影響所需感測比的準確性。感測場效電晶體源極金屬108可以覆蓋整個感測場效電晶體源極區,並延伸到主動感測場效電晶體單元104之外的區域,感測墊就直接形成在場效電晶體源極金屬108上,或在感測場效電晶體源極金屬108上方的鈍化層上方。為了簡便,第1圖並沒有表示出鈍化層。第1A圖給出了與第1圖相同的俯視圖,但表示出了鈍化層208以及鈍化層208中所開的窗口,依據本發明之一實施例,該窗口用於接合到主場效電晶體源極金屬106、感測場效電晶體源極金屬108以及外部閘極金屬111。鈍化層208中的窗口所裸露的金屬,實際上構成了閘極墊120、主場效電晶體源極墊107以及感測場效電晶體源極墊118。顯然,感測場效電晶體104並不是直接位於感測場效電晶體源極墊118的下方。 The gate and source structures that make up the main field effect transistor 102 are typically located below the main field effect transistor source metal 106. The source structure of the sense field effect transistor 104 is electrically coupled to the sense field effect transistor source metal 108. The gate and source structures that make up the field effect transistor 104 are typically located below a portion of the sense field effect transistor source metal 108. However, to avoid damage from wire bonding, these structures are typically not located below the sense field effect transistor source pad 118 (sometimes referred to as a sensing pad). Since the number of sense field effect transistor units is typically many orders of magnitude smaller than the number of main field effect transistor units, such damage to the sense field effect transistor unit will greatly affect the desired sense ratio. accuracy. Although the main field effect transistor component is also damaged by wire bonding, However, the number of damaged main field effect transistor cells is much smaller than the total number of main field effect transistor cells, so that the accuracy of the required sensing ratio is not greatly affected. The sensing field effect transistor source metal 108 can cover the entire sensing field effect transistor source region and extend to an area outside the active sensing field effect transistor unit 104, and the sensing pad is directly formed in the field effect battery. Above the crystal source metal 108, or over the passivation layer over the field effect transistor source metal 108. For the sake of simplicity, Figure 1 does not show a passivation layer. Figure 1A shows the same top view as Figure 1, but showing the passivation layer 208 and the window opened in the passivation layer 208, which is used to bond to the main field effect transistor source in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The pole metal 106 senses the field effect transistor source metal 108 and the outer gate metal 111. The exposed metal of the window in passivation layer 208 actually constitutes gate pad 120, main field effect transistor source pad 107, and sense field effect transistor source pad 118. Clearly, the sense field effect transistor 104 is not directly below the sense field effect transistor source pad 118.

The first metal gap 112 can electrically insulate the main field effect transistor source metal 106 from the common gate metal 110. The second metal gap 114 can be between the common gate metal 110 and the sense field effect transistor source metal 108. The third metal gap 115 may be located between the main field effect transistor source metal 106 and the outer gate metal 111. A conductor-filled trench (not shown in FIG. 1) is formed in the body of the substrate 101, and is insulated from the substrate by a layer of oxide lining the sidewalls of the trench, for example, by filling the trench with a conductor to achieve a main field effect. The transistor 102 and the gate terminal of the sense field effect transistor 104 are electrically connected to the common gate metal 110. These conductor-filled trenches also connect the common gate metal 110 to the external gate metal 111. The main field effect transistor source metal 106, the sensing field effect transistor source metal 108, the external gate metal 111, and the common gate metal 110 may be formed on a single patterned metal layer deposited over the substrate 101. The gate pad 120 may be deposited on the outer gate metal 111.

Figure). The external electrical connection to the main field effect transistor source metal 106 can be connected to the main field effect transistor source pad deposited on the passivation layer 208 by vias in the passivation layer 208. Alternatively, the main field effect transistor source pad can be formed in a portion of the main field effect transistor source metal 106, and the main field effect transistor source metal 106 is exposed through the window in the passivation layer 208. Similarly, the external electrical connection to the sense field effect transistor source metal 108 can be coupled to the passivation layer deposited over the sense field effect transistor source metal 108 by the passivation layer 208.

Alternatively, the sense field effect transistor source pad 118 can be formed in a portion of the sense field effect transistor source metal 108, and the sense field effect transistor source metal 108 is exposed through a window in the passivation layer 208. Almost the entire surface of the main field effect transistor source metal 106 can generally be used for wire bonding. In addition, an external electrical connection to the gate metal 110 may be coupled to the gate pad 120 deposited on the passivation layer over the gate metal 110 by a passivation layer. However, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 , 1A and 2 , the gate pad 120 is formed on the outer gate metal 111 . The common gate metal 110 and the external gate metal 111 are connected together under the gate chute trench 222 (Fig. 2).

The source metal of the main field effect transistor 302 and the sense field effect transistor 304 are located between the field effect transistor and the corresponding source pads 303 and 308 and the gate pad 306. The slits 305, 307 formed in the common metal layer divide the common metal layer into the main field effect transistor 302 and the gate metal region and the source metal region of the sense field effect transistor 304. The source pads 303, 308 of the main field effect transistor and the sense field effect transistor are located above the respective metal regions. The gate pad 306 is located above a portion of the gate metal region. An electrical insulator 309 indicated by a broken line may be formed on the substrate In the body portion, the main field effect transistor 302 and the source region of the sense field effect transistor 304 are electrically insulated in a suitable manner.

感測場效電晶體304位於主場效電晶體302的拐角附近,如第3B圖中的半導體元件301所示。更可選擇,使感測場效電晶體304位於主場效電晶體302的邊緣附近,如第3C圖中的半導體321所示。僅僅改變一個源極遮罩層,就可以調節主場效電晶體和感測場效電晶體之間的電流比。 The sense field effect transistor 304 is located near the corner of the main field effect transistor 302, as shown by the semiconductor component 301 in FIG. 3B. More optionally, the sense field effect transistor 304 is positioned adjacent the edge of the main field effect transistor 302, as shown by the semiconductor 321 in FIG. 3C. By changing only one source mask layer, the current ratio between the main field effect transistor and the sense field effect transistor can be adjusted.

帶有不同電流比的多個感測場效電晶體可以輕鬆地結合在主功率MOS場效電晶體內。第3D圖表示一種半導體元件310,它含有兩個感測場效電晶體312和314,位於主場效電晶體302的拐角附近。主場效電晶體和兩個感測場效電晶體的源極金屬位於場效電晶體和相應的源極墊311、313、315和閘極墊317之間。形成在共同金屬層中的縫隙316、318、319,將共同金屬層分成主場效電晶體和每個感測場效電晶體的閘極金屬區和源極金屬區。主場效電晶體和感測場效電晶體的源極墊311、313、315位於相應的金屬區上方。閘極墊317位於一部分閘極金屬區上方。用虛線表示的電絕緣體320可能形成在基板的本體部分中,以一種適宜的方式,使主場效電晶體和感測場效電晶體的源極區電絕緣。 Multiple sense field effect transistors with different current ratios can be easily incorporated into the main power MOS field effect transistor. Figure 3D shows a semiconductor component 310 containing two sense field effect transistors 312 and 314 located near the corners of the main field effect transistor 302. The source metal of the main field effect transistor and the two sense field effect transistors are located between the field effect transistor and the corresponding source pads 311, 313, 315 and the gate pad 317. The slits 316, 318, 319 formed in the common metal layer divide the common metal layer into a main field effect transistor and a gate metal region and a source metal region of each of the sense field effect transistors. The source pads 311, 313, 315 of the main field effect transistor and the sense field effect transistor are located above the respective metal regions. The gate pad 317 is located above a portion of the gate metal region. An electrical insulator 320, indicated by dashed lines, may be formed in the body portion of the substrate to electrically insulate the source regions of the main field effect transistor and the sense field effect transistor in a suitable manner.

製備上述類型的半導體元件更可能有許多不同的方法。作為示例,第4A圖至第4H圖表示依據本發明之一實施例之製備一種N-通道MOS場效電晶體半導體元件之一系列剖面示意圖。可以使用類似的製程,製備P-通道MOS場效電晶體元件。如第4A圖所示,N-外延層404可以形成在N+基板402上方。然後,在N-外延層404上方製備一個溝槽遮罩(圖中沒有表示出)。藉由溝槽遮罩,將N-外延層404刻蝕到預設的深度,形成主場效電晶體閘極溝槽403A、主場效電晶體閘極滑道溝槽403B、感測場效電晶體閘極溝槽405A和感測場效電晶體閘極滑道溝槽405B以及絕緣溝槽406,如第4B圖所示。然後在溝槽403A、403B、405A、405B和406的側壁上,生長閘極氧化物410。用多晶矽等導電材料408填充 溝槽403、405和406,並回刻,如第4C圖所示。按照這種方法,在共同的製備過程中,可以同時形成源極端、溝槽閘極及絕緣溝槽。 It is more likely that there are many different methods of preparing semiconductor components of the above type. By way of example, Figures 4A through 4H show a series of cross-sectional views of a series of N-channel MOS field effect transistor semiconductor devices in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. A P-channel MOS field effect transistor component can be fabricated using a similar process. As shown in FIG. 4A, an N- epitaxial layer 404 can be formed over the N+ substrate 402. A trench mask (not shown) is then formed over the N- epitaxial layer 404. The N- epitaxial layer 404 is etched to a predetermined depth by a trench mask to form a main field effect transistor gate trench 403A, a main field effect transistor gate trace trench 403B, and a sense field effect transistor. The gate trench 405A and the sense field effect transistor gate runner trench 405B and the insulating trench 406 are as shown in FIG. 4B. Gate oxide 410 is then grown on the sidewalls of trenches 403A, 403B, 405A, 405B, and 406. Filled with a conductive material 408 such as polysilicon The grooves 403, 405 and 406 are etched back as shown in Fig. 4C. According to this method, source terminals, trench gates, and insulating trenches can be simultaneously formed in a common preparation process.

為了製備源極區和電絕緣體,可以對外延層404植入與其摻雜極性(即導電類型)相反的摻雜物。作為示例,可將本體遮罩(圖中沒有表示出)植入P-型摻雜物412,並在主場效電晶體閘極溝槽403A、主閘極滑道溝槽403B、感測場效電晶體閘極溝槽405A、感測場效電晶體閘極滑道溝槽405B及絕緣溝槽406附近的N-外延層404中退火。如第4D圖所示,絕緣溝槽406附近的P-型摻雜物412構成本體環,有助於在主場效電晶體和感測場效電晶體之間提供電絕緣。藉由這種方式,主場效電晶體和感測場效電晶體元件區域以及本體環都可以在共同的製備過程中同時形成。要注意的是,在本實施例中,為了製備N-通道元件,要在N-型摻雜外延層404中植入P-型摻雜物。更可選擇,在P-型摻雜外延層中植入N-型摻雜物,以製備P-通道元件。 To prepare the source region and the electrical insulator, the epitaxial layer 404 can be implanted with dopants that are opposite in their doping polarity (ie, conductivity type). As an example, a body mask (not shown) can be implanted into the P-type dopant 412, and in the main field effect transistor gate trench 403A, the main gate runner trench 403B, sensing field effect The transistor gate trench 405A, the sense field effect transistor gate runner trench 405B, and the N- epitaxial layer 404 near the insulating trench 406 are annealed. As shown in FIG. 4D, the P-type dopant 412 near the insulating trench 406 constitutes a body ring that helps provide electrical isolation between the main field effect transistor and the sense field effect transistor. In this way, both the main field effect transistor and the sensing field effect transistor element region and the body ring can be simultaneously formed in a common preparation process. It is to be noted that in the present embodiment, in order to prepare an N-channel element, a P-type dopant is implanted in the N-type doped epitaxial layer 404. Alternatively, an N-type dopant is implanted in the P-type doped epitaxial layer to prepare a P-channel element.

請參閱第4E圖所示,植入N+型摻雜物,並退火,以製備主場效電晶體源極區413及感測場效電晶體源極區414。在N-外延層404上方,沉積一個絕緣層416,例如含有硼酸的矽玻璃(BPSG)。如第4F圖所示,回刻絕緣層416,以便分別在主場效電晶體閘極滑道溝槽403B和感測場效電晶體閘極滑道溝槽405B的上方形成接觸開口417和418;並且分別形成主場效電晶體源極和感測場效電晶體源極的接觸開口430和431。可以穿過接觸開口430和431,植入接觸植入物432、434。 Referring to FIG. 4E, an N+ type dopant is implanted and annealed to prepare a main field effect transistor source region 413 and a sense field effect transistor source region 414. Over the N- epitaxial layer 404, an insulating layer 416, such as barium glass containing boronic acid (BPSG), is deposited. As shown in FIG. 4F, the insulating layer 416 is etched back to form contact openings 417 and 418 above the main field effect transistor gate channel 403B and the sensing field effect gate gate channel 405B, respectively; And forming contact openings 430 and 431 of the main field effect transistor source and the sense field effect transistor source, respectively. Contact implants 432, 434 can be implanted through contact openings 430 and 431.

導電層沉積在絕緣層416上方的接觸開口417、418、430和431內,形成圖案,以製成共同閘極金屬420(電連接到主場效電晶體閘極滑道溝槽403B和感測場效電晶體閘極滑道溝槽405B)、主場效電晶體源極金屬421和感測場效電晶體源極金屬422。如第4G圖所示,回刻導電層,形成開口423,以便使共同閘極金屬420和主場效電晶體源極金屬421之間絕緣,並形成開口424,以便使共 同閘極金屬420和感測場效電晶體源極金屬422之間絕緣。最後,如第4H圖所示,沉積鈍化層426,在開口423、424內以及在共同閘極金屬420、主場效電晶體源極金屬421以及感測場效電晶體源極金屬422上方。 A conductive layer is deposited within contact openings 417, 418, 430, and 431 over insulating layer 416 to form a common gate metal 420 (electrically coupled to main field effect transistor gate runner trench 403B and sensing field The effect transistor gate chute trench 405B), the main field effect transistor source metal 421 and the sense field effect transistor source metal 422. As shown in FIG. 4G, the conductive layer is etched back to form an opening 423 to insulate between the common gate metal 420 and the main field effect transistor source metal 421, and an opening 424 is formed to The insulation is insulated from the gate metal 420 and the sense field effect transistor source metal 422. Finally, as shown in FIG. 4H, a passivation layer 426 is deposited over openings 423, 424 and over common gate metal 420, main field effect transistor source metal 421, and sense field effect transistor source metal 422.

請參閱第4A圖至第4H圖,其所示之方法僅僅表示在一個共同基板上製備N-通道主場效電晶體和感測場效電晶體,並且感測場效電晶體並不在感測場效電晶體源極墊下面。然而,利用本方法,無需使用額外的製備製程以及額外的遮罩層,就能夠在一個帶有主場效電晶體的共同基板上輕鬆製備帶有多種不同電流比的多個感測場效電晶體。本發明之實施例使主場效電晶體、感測場效電晶體以及它們之間的電絕緣,可以在共同的製備過程中,形成在同一半導體基板上。儘管,依據本發明之實施例,製備元件所用的製程特點和順序都很常見,但是製備過程中用於製備電絕緣及場效電晶體元件的遮罩是不同的。 Please refer to FIG. 4A to FIG. 4H, the method shown only shows that the N-channel main field effect transistor and the sensing field effect transistor are prepared on one common substrate, and the sensing field effect transistor is not in the sensing field. The power transistor is under the source pad. However, with this method, it is possible to easily prepare a plurality of sensing field effect transistors with a plurality of different current ratios on a common substrate with a main field effect transistor without using an additional fabrication process and an additional mask layer. . Embodiments of the present invention enable the primary field effect transistor, the sense field effect transistor, and the electrical isolation therebetween to be formed on the same semiconductor substrate during a common fabrication process. Although, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the process characteristics and sequence used to fabricate the components are common, the masks used to fabricate the electrically insulating and field effect transistor components are different during the fabrication process.

依據本發明之一可選實施例,可以在主場效電晶體的中心形成一個感測場效電晶體探針,由於探針周圍的傳導電流減少,從而使主場效電晶體的電流比更加準確和穩定。該電流比是電流調節的重要參數。感測場效電晶體探針的連接,是藉由一個位於分立的功率MOS場效電晶體晶片邊緣的感測墊實現的。這種結合不需要額外的遮罩層,也不需要額外的製備製程。這種結合的感測場效電晶體探針將與主場效電晶體共享相同的閘極端和相同的汲極端,但是源極端卻與主場效電晶體隔開。 According to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, a sensing field effect transistor probe can be formed at the center of the main field effect transistor, and the current ratio of the main field effect transistor is more accurate due to the reduced conduction current around the probe. stable. This current ratio is an important parameter for current regulation. The connection of the sense field effect transistor probe is achieved by a sensing pad located at the edge of the discrete power MOS field effect transistor. This combination does not require an additional mask layer and does not require an additional preparation process. This combined sense field effect transistor probe will share the same gate terminal and the same 汲 terminal with the main field effect transistor, but the source terminal is separated from the main field effect transistor.

請參閱第5A圖至第5B圖及第6A圖至第6C圖。如圖所示,半導體元件500的結構中,除了感測場效電晶體探針位於主場效電晶體中心處,遠離感測場效電晶體源極墊之外,其他都與第3A圖所示之半導體元件300的結構類似。半導體元件500包含一個位於半導體晶片501上方的主場效電晶體,以及一個位於主場效電晶體502中心處的感測場效電晶體探針510。感測場效電晶體探針510包含一個或多個形成在場效電晶體結構之間的感測場效電晶體結構,這些場效 電晶體結構構成主場效電晶體。感測場效電晶體源極墊503位於半導體元件500的邊緣附近,遠離感測場效電晶體探針510。感測場效電晶體探針510藉由導電管腳511,連接到感測場效電晶體源極墊503上,導電管腳511有時也稱為感測場效電晶體探針金屬或感測場效電晶體天線。可以利用與主場效電晶體源極金屬508和閘極金屬509相同的金屬層,製備感測場效電晶體探針金屬511。最好選用銅或鋁等高導電材料,製備感測場效電晶體探針金屬511,並且使感測場效電晶體探針金屬511足夠寬,使導電管腳不會成為一個電阻。要讓感測場效電晶體510(位於探針金屬511下方)不能比探針金屬511更寬或更長。感測場效電晶體源極墊503最好位於元件500的外圍,並在空間上遠離感測場效電晶體所在的位置。感測場效電晶體510的電晶體部分在主場效電晶體電晶體周圍,大部分都被主場效電晶體電晶體包圍,以使測量的失真或差異降至最低。 Please refer to Figures 5A to 5B and Figures 6A to 6C. As shown, in the structure of the semiconductor device 500, except that the sensing field effect transistor probe is located at the center of the main field effect transistor, away from the sensing field effect transistor source pad, the other is shown in FIG. 3A. The structure of the semiconductor component 300 is similar. Semiconductor component 500 includes a main field effect transistor located above semiconductor wafer 501 and a sense field effect transistor probe 510 located at the center of main field effect transistor 502. The sensing field effect transistor probe 510 includes one or more sensing field effect transistor structures formed between field effect transistor structures, these field effects The transistor structure constitutes a main field effect transistor. The sense field effect transistor source pad 503 is located adjacent the edge of the semiconductor component 500 away from the sense field effect transistor probe 510. The sensing field effect transistor probe 510 is connected to the sensing field effect transistor source pad 503 via a conductive pin 511. The conductive pin 511 is sometimes also referred to as a sensing field effect transistor probe metal or sense. Measure the field effect transistor antenna. The sense field effect transistor probe metal 511 can be fabricated using the same metal layer as the main field effect transistor source metal 508 and gate metal 509. Preferably, a high conductivity material such as copper or aluminum is used to prepare the field effect transistor probe metal 511, and the field effect transistor probe metal 511 is made wide enough that the conductive pins do not become a resistor. The sense field effect transistor 510 (located under the probe metal 511) must not be wider or longer than the probe metal 511. The sense field effect transistor source pad 503 is preferably located at the periphery of the component 500 and is spatially remote from the location where the field effect transistor is located. The portion of the transistor that senses the field effect transistor 510 is surrounded by the main field effect transistor, most of which is surrounded by the main field effect transistor to minimize distortion or variation in the measurement.

藉由縫隙505及下面的電絕緣結構,感測場效電晶體探針510、導電管腳511及感測場效電晶體源極墊503都與主場效電晶體502電絕緣,這與上述第2圖所示的帶有摻雜本體環合絕緣溝槽的電絕緣體122類似。縫隙505和絕緣結構包圍著感測場效電晶體探針510。作為示例,半導體元件500可以是一個分立的垂直功率MOS場效電晶體。主場效電晶體502與結合電路(IC)晶片不同的是,IC晶片具有多個沒有並聯在一起的電晶體,並且電晶體上帶有不同的閘極訊號,而主場效電晶體502是由與共同閘極訊號並聯工作的多個電晶體構成的,起一個單獨的分立的功率MOS場效電晶體的作用。 The sensing field effect transistor probe 510, the conductive pin 511 and the sensing field effect transistor source pad 503 are both electrically insulated from the main field effect transistor 502 by the gap 505 and the underlying electrically insulating structure, which is the same as the above The electrical insulator 122 with the doped body looped insulating trenches shown in Figure 2 is similar. A gap 505 and an insulating structure surround the sense field effect transistor probe 510. As an example, semiconductor component 500 can be a discrete vertical power MOS field effect transistor. The main field effect transistor 502 is different from the combined circuit (IC) chip in that the IC chip has a plurality of transistors that are not connected in parallel, and the transistor has different gate signals, and the main field effect transistor 502 is The plurality of transistors operating in parallel with the common gate signal function as a separate discrete power MOS field effect transistor.

電絕緣體(例如上述第2圖所示之電絕緣體122),或帶有閘極溝槽、不帶主動極植入物的區域,或深位能井植入物512,都可以以一種適當的模式形成在基板頂部,以使主場效電晶體502的源極和本體區與感測場效電晶體探針510的源極和本體區絕緣。深位能井512的導電類型可以與主場效電晶體本體區相同,但摻雜濃度較低,例如約為4×1016/cm3。深位能井可以比主場效電晶體 本體區更深,例如大約1至2微米(μm)深,或更確切地說是在1.4至2微米(或約為1.7μm)之間,但不能深過閘極溝槽。作為參考,典型的本體區深度約為0.5至0.7μm。深位能井絕緣可能是幾倍的電晶體單元間距的寬度,例如2至10μm寬。深位能井絕緣的寬度可以小到一個電晶體單元的間距一樣小。這取決於製造設備的加工能力。感測場效電晶體源極金屬608和主場效電晶體源極金屬618必須不短路或橋接,使它們兩個之間留有足夠的縫隙,縫隙的尺寸取決於製造設備的加工能力。 An electrical insulator (such as the electrical insulator 122 shown in Figure 2 above), or a region with a gate trench, without an active pole implant, or a deep well implant 512, may be suitably A pattern is formed on top of the substrate to insulate the source and body regions of the main field effect transistor 502 from the source and body regions of the sense field effect transistor probe 510. The conductivity type of the deep energy well 512 may be the same as that of the main field effect transistor body region, but the doping concentration is low, for example, about 4 x 10 16 /cm 3 . The deep energy well may be deeper than the main field effect transistor body region, for example, about 1 to 2 micrometers (μm) deep, or more specifically between 1.4 and 2 micrometers (or about 1.7 μm), but not deeper. Gate trench. For reference, a typical body region has a depth of about 0.5 to 0.7 [mu]m. The deep well insulation may be several times the width of the cell spacing, for example 2 to 10 μm wide. The width of the deep well insulation can be as small as the pitch of a transistor unit. This depends on the processing capabilities of the manufacturing equipment. The sense field effect transistor source metal 608 and the main field effect transistor source metal 618 must not be shorted or bridged so that there is sufficient gap between them, the size of the gap depending on the processing capabilities of the manufacturing equipment.

感測場效電晶體周圍的絕緣結構也終止了主動區電壓,從而使感測場效電晶體探針510、導電管腳511和感測場效電晶體源極墊503由於縫隙505,而位於主場效電晶體主動區以及絕緣結構的「外部」,絕緣結構從主動區的邊緣開始延伸。然而,感測場效電晶體探針510及導電管腳511使感測場效電晶體探針510位於帶有最小失真的主場效電晶體502電晶體中。形成感測場效電晶體源極墊503、導電管腳511以及感測場效電晶體探針源極金屬608的金屬層,可以與閘極金屬509以及主場效電晶體源極金屬508一樣。要注意的是,導電管腳511並不是一個電阻性元件。作為示例,如第6A圖所示,它的寬度至少可以與感測場效電晶體相同。 Sensing the insulating structure around the field effect transistor also terminates the active region voltage, thereby causing the sense field effect transistor probe 510, the conductive pin 511, and the sense field effect transistor source pad 503 to be located due to the gap 505. The active field of the main field effect transistor and the "outer" of the insulating structure, the insulating structure extends from the edge of the active area. However, the sense field effect transistor probe 510 and the conductive pins 511 cause the sense field effect transistor probe 510 to be located in the main field effect transistor 502 transistor with minimal distortion. Forming the field effect transistor source pad 503, the conductive pin 511, and the metal layer of the sense field effect transistor probe source metal 608 may be the same as the gate metal 509 and the main field effect transistor source metal 508. It is to be noted that the conductive pin 511 is not a resistive element. As an example, as shown in FIG. 6A, its width can be at least the same as the sense field effect transistor.

縫隙507形成在一個共同金屬層中,為主場效電晶體502隔開閘極金屬509和主場效電晶體源極金屬508。閘極墊506位於一部分閘極金屬509上方。汲極端(圖中沒有表示出)位於半導體基板的底部,被主場效電晶體502和感測場效電晶體510所共用。 The slits 507 are formed in a common metal layer, and the main field effect transistor 502 is separated from the gate metal 509 and the main field effect transistor source metal 508. Gate pad 506 is located over a portion of gate metal 509. The 汲 extreme (not shown) is located at the bottom of the semiconductor substrate and is shared by the main field effect transistor 502 and the sense field effect transistor 510.

請參閱第5B圖,其表示與第5A圖所示的半導體元件500相同之俯視圖,不同的是在該圖中,鈍化層533覆蓋了除主場效電晶體源極墊508、閘極墊506和感測場效電晶體源極墊503之外的整個晶片。未被鈍化層533覆蓋的感測場效電晶體探針510和導電管腳511的位置,用虛線表示。 Please refer to FIG. 5B, which shows the same top view as the semiconductor device 500 shown in FIG. 5A, except that in the figure, the passivation layer 533 covers the main field effect transistor source pad 508, the gate pad 506, and The entire wafer outside of the field effect transistor source pad 503 is sensed. The position of the sense field effect transistor probe 510 and the conductive pin 511 that are not covered by the passivation layer 533 is indicated by a broken line.

請參閱第5A圖及第6B圖。如圖所示,感測場效電晶體探針510位於主場效電晶體502的中心,藉由縫隙505,與主場效電晶體502和絕緣結構515絕緣。作為示例,絕緣結構515可能含有一個絕緣層516,例如BPSG。絕緣結構可能更含有深位能井512,深位能井512形成在N-外延層513的頂部,以及絕緣層516的下方。深位能井512使感測場效電晶體探針510的源極和本體區,與主場效電晶體502絕緣。深位能井512的導電類型與本體區相同,但它比本體區更深。深位能井512的佈局大致遵循了第5A圖所示的縫隙505的佈局。外延層沉積在半導體基板層514的上方。 Please refer to Figures 5A and 6B. As shown, the sense field effect transistor probe 510 is located at the center of the main field effect transistor 502 and is insulated from the main field effect transistor 502 and the insulating structure 515 by a gap 505. As an example, the insulating structure 515 may contain an insulating layer 516, such as BPSG. The insulating structure may further comprise a deep potential well 512 formed on top of the N- epitaxial layer 513 and below the insulating layer 516. The deep potential well 512 insulates the source and body regions of the sense field effect transistor probe 510 from the main field effect transistor 502. The deep energy well 512 has the same conductivity type as the body region, but it is deeper than the body region. The layout of the deep energy well 512 generally follows the layout of the slit 505 shown in FIG. 5A. An epitaxial layer is deposited over the semiconductor substrate layer 514.

請參閱第5A圖及第6C圖。如圖所示,導電管腳511、感測場效電晶體源極墊503以及感測場效電晶體探針510都藉由縫隙505,與主場效電晶體源極墊508和絕緣結構515絕緣。深位能井512使感測場效電晶體探針510的源極和本體區,與主場效電晶體502的源極和本體區絕緣。深位能井512更提高了終止區和絕緣結構515中的擊穿,以確保擊穿不會首先在這裏(在相對較小的終止和絕緣區中)發生,從而增強了元件的耐用性。深位能井更可作為包圍著主場效電晶體(圖中沒有表示出)的終止結構的一部分,用在半導體元件中。 Please refer to Figures 5A and 6C. As shown, the conductive pin 511, the sense field effect transistor source pad 503, and the sense field effect transistor probe 510 are insulated from the main field effect transistor source pad 508 and the insulating structure 515 by a slit 505. . The deep potential well 512 insulates the source and body regions of the sense field effect transistor probe 510 from the source and body regions of the main field effect transistor 502. The deep well 512 further enhances the breakdown in the termination region and the insulating structure 515 to ensure that breakdown does not occur first here (in relatively small terminations and isolation regions), thereby enhancing the durability of the component. The deep energy well can be used as part of the termination structure surrounding the main field effect transistor (not shown) for use in semiconductor devices.

可以配置絕緣結構515,使感測場效電晶體510位於絕緣結構515外部,(因此也在主場效電晶體主動區的「外部」)但是感測場效電晶體510的電晶體部分大致被主場效電晶體502的主動電晶體單元包圍。此外,感測場效電晶體502、探針金屬511以及感測場效電晶體源極墊503都可以位於絕緣結構515外部。深位能井512也可以位於感測場效電晶體源極墊503(如第7圖所示)下方,以及感測場效電晶體探針金屬511下方。 The insulating structure 515 can be configured such that the sense field effect transistor 510 is external to the insulating structure 515 (and therefore also "external" of the active field of the main field effect transistor) but the transistor portion of the sense field effect transistor 510 is substantially dominated by the home field. The active transistor unit of the effect transistor 502 is surrounded. In addition, the sense field effect transistor 502, the probe metal 511, and the sense field effect transistor source pad 503 can all be external to the insulating structure 515. The deep well 512 can also be located below the sense field effect transistor source pad 503 (shown in FIG. 7) and below the field effect transistor probe metal 511.

與第2圖類似,如第6C圖所示,主場效電晶體502可以含有多個場效電晶體結構,每個場效電晶體結構都含有帶溝槽的閘極614,以及由適當摻雜N-外延層513的一部分本體區616所形成的源極612。每個主場效電晶體元件的閘 極614都以溝槽的形式出現,溝槽內襯有氧化物等絕緣體,並用導電多晶矽填充,閘極614可以連接到閘極滑道(圖中沒有表示出)上,閘極滑道將它們連接到閘極金屬(圖中沒有表示出)上。閘極614可以與沿橫截面A-A中的溝槽閘極垂直。更可選擇,閘極614與橫截面A-A中的那些元件平行,但此處表示得好像垂直一樣,是為了便於說明。一個主場效電晶體單元的源極612可藉由主場效電晶體源極金屬618,與其他此類元件並聯。源極區612可藉由絕緣層515,經由導電通孔620、621,與主場效電晶體源極金屬618電接觸。可以在通孔620、621和623底部,植入本體接觸物610。 Similar to FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 6C, the main field effect transistor 502 may contain a plurality of field effect transistor structures, each field effect transistor structure including a trenched gate 614, and suitably doped. A source 612 formed by a portion of the body region 616 of the N- epitaxial layer 513. Brake for each main field effect transistor component The poles 614 are all in the form of trenches, the trenches are lined with insulators such as oxides, and are filled with conductive polysilicon, and the gates 614 can be connected to the gate runners (not shown), and the gate runners Connected to the gate metal (not shown). Gate 614 may be perpendicular to the gate gate in cross section A-A. Alternatively, gate 614 is parallel to those elements in cross section A-A, but is shown here as being vertical for ease of illustration. The source 612 of a home field effect transistor unit can be coupled in parallel with other such elements by a main field effect transistor source metal 618. The source region 612 can be in electrical contact with the main field effect transistor source metal 618 via the conductive vias 620, 621 via the insulating layer 515. Body contacts 610 can be implanted at the bottom of vias 620, 621, and 623.

與之類似,感測場效電晶體探針510也含有多個元件結構,每個元件結構都含有一個帶溝槽的閘極622,電耦合到閘極滑道(圖中沒有表示出)。閘極滑道連接到共同閘極金屬(圖中沒有表示出)。閘極滑道藉由外部閘極金屬509,電連接到閘極墊506上。感測場效電晶體源極602藉由感測場效電晶體源極金屬608,經由通孔626,電耦合到其他感測場效電晶體單元上。可以同上述主場效電晶體閘極614、源極612和本體616所述地那樣,配置帶溝槽的閘極622、源極602以及本體區606。 Similarly, the sense field effect transistor probe 510 also contains a plurality of component structures, each of which includes a trenched gate 622 electrically coupled to the gate runner (not shown). The gate runner is connected to a common gate metal (not shown). The gate runner is electrically connected to the gate pad 506 by an external gate metal 509. The sense field effect transistor source 602 is electrically coupled to other sense field effect transistor units via the vias 626 by sensing the field effect transistor source metal 608. The trenched gate 622, source 602, and body region 606 can be disposed as described above for the main field effect transistor gate 614, source 612, and body 616.

主場效電晶體元件的源極和本體區,以及感測場效電晶體探針形成在位於(N+)基板514上的同一個N-外延層513中。深位能井512使這些主場效電晶體和感測場效電晶體的源極和本體區絕緣。 A source and body region of the main field effect transistor element, and a sensing field effect transistor probe are formed in the same N- epitaxial layer 513 on the (N+) substrate 514. The deep potential well 512 insulates the source and body regions of the main field effect transistor and the sense field effect transistor.

請參閱第7圖,係表示第5A圖至第5B圖所示之半導體元件500沿線C-C之剖面圖。如第7圖所示,感測場效電晶體源極墊503藉由縫隙505,與主場效電晶體502、絕緣層516以及深位能井512絕緣,絕緣層516以及深位能井512可位於感測場效電晶體源極墊503下方。 Referring to Fig. 7, there is shown a cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device 500 shown in Figs. 5A to 5B taken along line C-C. As shown in FIG. 7, the sensing field effect transistor source pad 503 is insulated from the main field effect transistor 502, the insulating layer 516, and the deep potential well 512 by the slit 505, and the insulating layer 516 and the deep potential well 512 can be Located below the sense field effect transistor source pad 503.

請參閱第5圖、第6B圖至第6C圖及第7圖。如圖所示,閘極墊506、感測場效電晶體源極墊503及感測場效電晶體探針510可以位於主動區外部,即 主場效電晶體502的終止區中。可以藉由帶有感測場效電晶體源極墊503的絕緣結構515,將閘極墊506、感測場效電晶體源極墊503及感測場效電晶體探針510,與主場效電晶體502分隔開。 Please refer to Figure 5, Figure 6B to Figure 6C and Figure 7. As shown, the gate pad 506, the sense field effect transistor source pad 503, and the sense field effect transistor probe 510 can be located outside of the active region, ie The termination field of the main field effect transistor 502. The gate pad 506, the sense field effect transistor source pad 503, and the sense field effect transistor probe 510 can be combined with the main field effect by an insulating structure 515 with a sense field effect transistor source pad 503. The transistors 502 are separated.

請參閱第3A圖,雖然感測場效電晶體304位於主場效電晶體302的中心,但是卻在一個相對較大的源極墊303(例如150微米×150微米)下方,難以控制電流傳播,因此感測場效電晶體電流與主場效電晶體電流的電流比很難控制。藉由將一個相對較小的感測場效電晶體探針(例如尺寸約為20微米×20微米)置於主晶片場效電晶體的中心處,並藉由一個狹窄的感測場效電晶體探針導電管腳(如上述第5A圖至第5B圖所示),將感測場效電晶體探針連接到感測場效電晶體墊上,就會很容易地控制電流傳播,從而獲得合適的電流比(例如真實的感測比應在設計的感測比的5%以內)。此外,這種設計將感測場效電晶體置於一個與主場效電晶體更加接近的溫度(溫度會影響場效電晶體電阻/電流)下,以抵抗由於較大的感測場效電晶體源極墊產生的溫差所帶來的失真。從主場效電晶體的邊緣到感測場效電晶體探針之間的寬度,約為主場效電晶體寬度的一半。其特點是,主場效電晶體在形狀上接近約為1至10mm2的正方形或長方形。 Referring to FIG. 3A, although the sense field effect transistor 304 is located at the center of the main field effect transistor 302, it is difficult to control current propagation under a relatively large source pad 303 (eg, 150 micrometers by 150 micrometers). Therefore, it is difficult to control the current ratio of the field effect transistor current to the main field effect transistor current. By placing a relatively small sensing field effect transistor probe (eg, approximately 20 microns x 20 microns in size) at the center of the main field effect transistor and with a narrow sensing field effect The crystal probe conductive pin (as shown in Figures 5A-5B above) connects the sensing field effect transistor probe to the sensing field effect transistor pad, which easily controls current propagation. A suitable current ratio (eg, the true sensing ratio should be within 5% of the designed sensing ratio). In addition, this design places the sense field effect transistor at a temperature closer to the main field effect transistor (temperature affects the field effect transistor resistance/current) to resist the field effect transistor due to the larger sense. The distortion caused by the temperature difference generated by the source pad. The width from the edge of the main field effect transistor to the sense field effect transistor probe is about half the width of the main field effect transistor. Characterized in that the home effect transistor in shape close to a square or a rectangle approximately 10mm 2 in.

此外,溫差較大也會影響電流比和Rds-on。藉由將感測場效電晶體置於主場效電晶體中心處,並被主場效電晶體電晶體包圍,使主場效電晶體電晶體和感測場效電晶體電晶體中間的溫差降低,避免了感測場效電晶體源極墊帶來的過度失真。帶有各種不同電流比的多個感測場效電晶體探針,也能夠輕鬆地結合到主場效電晶體的中心。 In addition, a large temperature difference will also affect the current ratio and Rds-on. By placing the sensing field effect transistor at the center of the main field effect transistor and being surrounded by the main field effect transistor crystal, the temperature difference between the main field effect transistor crystal and the sensing field effect transistor crystal is reduced, avoiding It senses excessive distortion caused by the field effect transistor source pad. Multiple sense field effect transistor probes with various current ratios can also be easily incorporated into the center of the main field effect transistor.

請參閱第8圖,係表示第5A圖所示的那類半導體元件的主場效電晶體5O2和感測場效電晶體探針510中的電流線之剖面示意圖。如第8圖所示,由於相對較大的感測場效電晶體晶片墊(圖中沒有表示出)已經被移至遠離感測 場效電晶體探針510的地方,感測場效電晶體探針和主場效電晶體中間的間距縮小,從而獲得較小的電流傳播。因此,可以更加準確地設計感測場效電晶體的Rds-on,使帶有最小失真的感測場效電晶體探針獲得所需的電流比。 Referring to Fig. 8, there is shown a schematic cross-sectional view showing current lines in the main field effect transistor 5O2 and the sense field effect transistor probe 510 of the semiconductor device of the type shown in Fig. 5A. As shown in Figure 8, the relatively large sense field effect transistor wafer pad (not shown) has been moved away from sensing. Where the field effect transistor probe 510 is located, the spacing between the sense field effect transistor probe and the main field effect transistor is reduced, thereby achieving less current propagation. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately design the Rds-on of the sensing field effect transistor, so that the sensing field effect transistor probe with the smallest distortion obtains the required current ratio.

請參閱第5A圖,其所示的那類半導體元件可用於在閘極溝槽功率MOS場效電晶體(包含屏蔽閘極溝槽(SGT)或平面閘極功率MOS場效電晶體)的條紋或封閉式單元技術中。 Referring to Figure 5A, the type of semiconductor component shown can be used for striping in a gate trench power MOS field effect transistor (including a shield gate trench (SGT) or a planar gate power MOS field effect transistor). Or in closed cell technology.

製備上述第5A圖所示的那類半導體元件,更可能有許多不同的方法。作為示例,第9圖至第9A圖和第10B-B’圖至第16B-B’圖和第10C-C’圖至第16C-C’圖為一系列表示製備第5A圖和第6圖沿線B-B和C-C所示的那類N-通道MOS場效電晶體半導體元件之剖面示意圖。(一種相似的技術可以用來製備P-通道元件。)與第4A圖至第4H圖所示的製程相比,該製程不需要額外的製備過程以及額外的遮罩層。 It is more likely that there are many different methods for preparing the semiconductor element of the type shown in Fig. 5A above. As an example, FIGS. 9 to 9A and 10B-B' to 16B-B' and 10C-C' to 16C-C' are a series of representations of preparations 5A and 6 A schematic cross-sectional view of an N-channel MOS field effect transistor semiconductor device of the type shown along lines BB and CC. (A similar technique can be used to fabricate P-channel components.) This process requires no additional fabrication and additional masking layers as compared to the processes illustrated in Figures 4A through 4H.

請參閱第9圖。如圖所示,N-外延層904形成在N+基板902上方。深位能井遮罩(圖中沒有表示出)形成在N-外延層904上方。如第9A圖所示,將極性(即導電類型)與外延層904的摻雜相反的摻雜物,植入到外延層904中,以構成深位能井905A。 Please refer to Figure 9. As shown, an N- epitaxial layer 904 is formed over the N+ substrate 902. A deep potential well mask (not shown) is formed over the N- epitaxial layer 904. As shown in FIG. 9A, a dopant having a polarity (i.e., conductivity type) opposite to the doping of epitaxial layer 904 is implanted into epitaxial layer 904 to form deep potential well 905A.

然後,在N-外延層904上方形成一個溝槽遮罩(圖中沒有表示出)。如第10B-B’圖和第10C-C’圖所示,藉由溝槽遮罩,將N-外延層904刻蝕到預設深度,以形成主場效電晶體閘極溝槽903、感測場效電晶體閘極溝槽905以及絕緣溝槽906。然後,在溝槽903、905和906的側壁上生長閘極電介質(例如氧化物)910。如第11B-B’圖和第11C-C’圖所示,用導電材料(例如多晶矽)908填充溝槽903、905和906,並回刻。按照這種方法,在共同的製備過程中,可以同時形成源極端、溝槽閘極。 A trench mask (not shown) is then formed over the N- epitaxial layer 904. As shown in FIGS. 10B-B' and 10C-C', the N- epitaxial layer 904 is etched to a predetermined depth by a trench mask to form a main field effect transistor gate trench 903, sense The field effect transistor gate trench 905 and the insulating trench 906 are measured. A gate dielectric (e.g., oxide) 910 is then grown on the sidewalls of trenches 903, 905, and 906. As shown in Figures 11B-B' and 11C-C', the trenches 903, 905 and 906 are filled with a conductive material (e.g., polysilicon) 908 and etched back. According to this method, the source terminal and the trench gate can be simultaneously formed in a common preparation process.

作為示例,如第12B-B’圖和第12C-C’圖所示,藉由本體遮罩(圖中沒有表示出),植入P-型摻雜物,並在主場效電晶體閘極溝槽903、感測場效電晶體閘極溝槽905附近的N-外延層904中退火,以製成本體區912和909。本體植入的深度小於深位能井植入的深度。要注意的是,在本例中,為了製備N-通道元件,要在N-型摻雜外延層904中植入P-型摻雜物,以製成本體區912和909。更可選擇,在P-型摻雜外延層中植入N-型摻雜物,以製成P-通道元件。 As an example, as shown in Figures 12B-B' and 12C-C', the P-type dopant is implanted by the bulk mask (not shown) and is in the main field effect gate. The trench 903, the N-epitaxial layer 904 in the vicinity of the sense field effect gate trench 905, is annealed to form body regions 912 and 909. The depth of the body implant is less than the depth of the deep well implant. It is to be noted that in this example, in order to fabricate an N-channel element, a P-type dopant is implanted in the N-type doped epitaxial layer 904 to form body regions 912 and 909. Alternatively, an N-type dopant is implanted in the P-type doped epitaxial layer to form a P-channel element.

請參閱第13B-B’圖及第13C-C’圖。如圖所示,植入N+型摻雜物(就n-通道MOS場效電晶體而言),並退火,以製成主場效電晶體源極區913和感測場效電晶體源極區914。在N-外延層904上方,沉積一個絕緣層916(例如含有硼酸的矽玻璃(BPSG))。如第14B-B’圖和第14C-C’圖所示,遮罩絕緣層916並回刻,以便在深位能井905A上方製備接觸開口917,並分別形成主場效電晶體源極和感測場效電晶體源極的接觸開口930和931。在接觸開口917、930和931的底部,植入本體接觸植入物932。 Please refer to Figures 13B-B' and 13C-C'. As shown, an N+ type dopant (in the case of an n-channel MOS field effect transistor) is implanted and annealed to form a main field effect transistor source region 913 and a sense field effect transistor source region. 914. Over the N- epitaxial layer 904, an insulating layer 916 (eg, barium glass containing boronic acid (BPSG)) is deposited. As shown in Figures 14B-B' and 14C-C', the insulating layer 916 is masked and etched back to prepare a contact opening 917 over the deep well 905A, and respectively form a source and sense of the main field effect transistor. Contact openings 930 and 931 of the field effect transistor source are measured. At the bottom of the contact openings 917, 930, and 931, the implant body contacts the implant 932.

請參閱第15B-B’圖及第15C-C’圖。如圖所示,導電層沉積在絕緣層916上方,以及接觸開口917、918、930和931內,形成圖案以製備主場效電晶體源極金屬921和感測場效電晶體源極金屬922,以及感測場效電晶體源極墊925。如第15B-B’圖和第15C-C’圖所示,回刻導電層,形成開口930,使主場效電晶體源極金屬921和感測場效電晶體源極金屬922之間絕緣,形成開口932,使主場效電晶體源極金屬921和感測場效電晶體源極墊925之間絕緣。最後,如第16B-B’圖及第16C-C’圖所示,鈍化層926沉積在開口930、932內,並沉積在主場效電晶體源極金屬921和感測場效電晶體源極金屬922上方。 Please refer to Figures 15B-B' and 15C-C'. As shown, a conductive layer is deposited over the insulating layer 916, and within the contact openings 917, 918, 930, and 931, forming a pattern to produce a primary field effect transistor source metal 921 and a sense field effect transistor source metal 922, And sensing the field effect transistor source pad 925. As shown in FIGS. 15B-B' and 15C-C', the conductive layer is etched back to form an opening 930 to insulate between the main field effect transistor source metal 921 and the sense field effect transistor source metal 922. An opening 932 is formed to insulate between the main field effect transistor source metal 921 and the sense field effect transistor source pad 925. Finally, as shown in FIGS. 16B-B' and 16C-C', a passivation layer 926 is deposited in the openings 930, 932 and deposited on the main field effect transistor source metal 921 and the sense field effect transistor source. Above the metal 922.

請參閱第9圖、第9A圖、第10B-B’圖至第16B-B’圖及第10C-C’圖至第16C-C’圖。如圖所示,僅僅表示在一個共同基板上製備N-通道主場效電晶體和感測場效電晶體,並且感測場效電晶體並不位於感測場效電晶體源極墊 下方。然而,利用此方法,無需額外的製備製程以及額外的遮罩層,就可以在共同基板上輕鬆地製成帶有各種不同電流比的多個感測場效電晶體。本發明的實施例,可以在共同的製備過程中,藉由同一半導體基板,形成主場效電晶體、感測場效電晶體以及它們之間的電絕緣。儘管,依據本發明的實施例,製備元件所用的製程特點和順序都很常見,但是製備過程中用於製備電絕緣以及場效電晶體元件的遮罩是不同的。 Please refer to Fig. 9, Fig. 9A, Figs. 10B-B' to 16B-B' and Figs. 10C-C' to 16C-C'. As shown, it is only indicated that the N-channel main field effect transistor and the sensing field effect transistor are fabricated on a common substrate, and the sensing field effect transistor is not located in the sensing field effect transistor source pad.
