Description
本發明是有關於一種半導體元件及其製造方法,且特別是有關於一種功率元件及其製造方法。The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly to a power device and a manufacturing method thereof.
功率金氧半場效電晶體(MOSFET)為電壓型控制元件,其驅動電路簡單、驅動的功率大且開關速度快,具有高的工作頻率,是一種廣泛用於各種電子應用元件的開關元件。Power MOSFET is a voltage-type control element. Its driving circuit is simple, the driving power is high, the switching speed is fast, and it has a high operating frequency. It is a switching element widely used in various electronic application components.
溝槽閘極金氧半場效電晶體是一種將閘極埋入在基底或磊晶層中以使其具有垂直通道的功率金氧半場效電晶體。此種功率金氧半場效電晶體具有較小的單元尺寸與小的導通電阻,適合用於中低壓的功率MOSFET。The trench gate MOSFET is a power MOSFET in which the gate is buried in the substrate or the epitaxial layer to make it have a vertical channel. This kind of power metal oxide half field effect transistor has a small cell size and small on-resistance, and is suitable for medium and low voltage power MOSFETs.
分離閘極溝槽閘極(Split Gate Trench,SGT)金氧半場效電晶體則是將單一個閘極拆成兩個閘極,並以隔離場板分隔兩個閘極的一種功率MOSFET。深入磊晶層的隔離場板可增加橫向空乏區(lateral depletion),並使N漂移摻雜濃度(N-drift doping concentration)增加。隔離場板還可以減少閘極和汲極的重疊,因此可以減小閘極到汲極的電容(gate-to-drain capacitance)。因此,該結構在靜態和動態特性方面均具有優異的性能。The Split Gate Trench (SGT) MOSFET is a power MOSFET in which a single gate is split into two gates, and the two gates are separated by an isolation field plate. The isolation field plate deep in the epitaxial layer can increase the lateral depletion and increase the N-drift doping concentration. Isolating the field plate can also reduce the overlap of the gate and the drain, so it can reduce the gate-to-drain capacitance. Therefore, the structure has excellent performance in both static and dynamic characteristics.
然而,由於SGT MOSFET的製程較為複雜,閘極與隔離場板之間容易產生漏電流,以致元件的崩潰電壓不足。另一方面,若為了降低閘極與隔離場板之間的漏電流而減少磊晶層的摻雜濃度,則會造成導通電阻(Ron)增加,閘極電荷量(gate charge,QG)增加,而影響元件的效能。However, due to the complicated manufacturing process of the SGT MOSFET, leakage current is likely to occur between the gate electrode and the isolation field plate, so that the breakdown voltage of the device is insufficient. On the other hand, if the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer is reduced in order to reduce the leakage current between the gate and the isolation field plate, the on-resistance (Ron) will increase and the gate charge (QG) will increase. And affect the performance of the component.
本發明提出一種功率元件可以降低閘極與隔離場板之間的漏電流,提升元件的崩潰電壓,降低導通電阻,減少閘極電荷量(QG),改善品質因素(figure of merit,FOM),提升元件的效能。The present invention proposes a power element that can reduce the leakage current between the gate and the isolation field plate, increase the breakdown voltage of the element, reduce the on-resistance, reduce the gate charge (QG), and improve the figure of merit (FOM), Improve the performance of components.

基於上述,閘極溝槽底角處具有足夠厚的氧化層,因此可以降低閘極與隔離場板之間的漏電流,提升元件的崩潰電壓。在維持相同的崩潰電壓的前提下,可以增加磊晶層的濃度,以降低導通電阻(Ron),減少閘極電荷量(QG),改善品質因素(FOM),提升元件的效能。Based on the above, there is a sufficiently thick oxide layer at the bottom corner of the gate trench, so that the leakage current between the gate and the isolation field plate can be reduced, and the breakdown voltage of the device can be increased. Under the premise of maintaining the same breakdown voltage, the concentration of the epitaxial layer can be increased to reduce the on-resistance (Ron), reduce the gate charge (QG), improve the quality factor (FOM), and enhance the performance of the device.
圖1A至圖1L是依照本發明的實施例的一種功率元件的製造方法的剖面示意圖。功率元件例如是SGT MOSFET。1A to 1L are schematic cross-sectional views of a method of manufacturing a power device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The power element is, for example, SGT MOSFET.
請參照圖1A,功率元件的製造方法包括在基底10中形成汲極摻雜層12。基底10可以是半導體基底10,例如矽基底。汲極摻雜層12可以在製造晶片製程時原位(in-situ)形成。汲極摻雜層12具有第一導電型摻質。第一導電型摻質為N型摻質,例如是磷或是砷。接著,在汲極摻雜層12上形成磊晶層14。磊晶層14的形成方法例如是選擇性磊晶生長製程。磊晶層14具有第一導電型摻質。第一導電型摻質為N型摻質,例如是磷或是砷。磊晶層14的摻雜濃度例如是低於汲極摻雜層12的摻雜濃度。磊晶層14的摻質可以在進行選擇性磊晶生長製程時原位(in-situ)形成,或是在進行選擇性磊晶生長製程之後再藉由離子植入製程來形成之。1A, the manufacturing method of the power device includes forming the drain doped
其後,在磊晶層14中形成溝渠16。溝渠16自磊晶層14的第一表面14a向第二表面14b延伸。溝渠16可以藉由微影與蝕刻製程來形成。蝕刻製程可以是非等向性蝕刻製程、等向性蝕刻製程或其組合。之後,在磊晶層14上以及溝渠16之中形成絕緣填充層18與導體層20。絕緣填充層18的材料例如是以化學氣相沉積法形成的氧化矽、氮化矽或其組合。導體層20形成在絕緣填充層18上,並將溝渠16剩餘的空間填滿。導體層20可以是半導體材料,例如是以化學氣相沉積法形成的未摻雜多晶矽或摻雜的多晶矽。在一些實施例中,導體層20為摻雜的多晶矽,其摻雜濃度範圍為3E18 1/cm
3至3E20 1/cm
3。
Thereafter,
請參照圖1B,對導體層20進行回蝕刻製程,移除溝渠16以外的導體層20,以在溝渠16之中留下導體層20a。在一些實施例中,導體層20a的頂面低於磊晶層14的頂面。在另一些實施例中,導體層20a的頂面與磊晶層14的頂面大致共平面(未示出)。導體層20a可稱為源極多晶矽層。此外,導體層20a可用做為隔離場板,故可稱為隔離場板20a。可用做為隔離場板的導體層20a可以均勻後續形成之第一基體區(p-body region)36與第二基體區38(請參圖1L)下方的磊晶層14的電場分布,使相對的臨界電場強度降低,因此可以提升崩潰電壓。從另一方面來說,在相同的崩潰電壓下,可以將磊晶層14的摻雜濃度提高,以降低導通電阻(Ron)。1B, the
請參照圖1C,對絕緣填充層18進行回蝕刻製程,移除溝渠16以外的絕緣填充層18,以在溝渠16之中留下絕緣填充層18a。在一些實施例中,絕緣填充層18a環繞導體層20a的側壁與底面,且絕緣填充層18a的頂部低於導體層20a的頂面。換言之,絕緣填充層18a上具有第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24。第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24的側壁裸露出磊晶層14與導體層20a,且第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24的底面裸露出絕緣填充層18a的頂部。回蝕刻製程例如是非等向性蝕刻製程、等向性蝕刻製程或組合。1C, the
請參照圖1D,在磊晶層14與導體層20a上以及第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24之中形成間隙壁層26。間隙壁層26例如是共形層。間隙壁層26與絕緣填充層18a的材料不同,且與絕緣填充層18a之間具有不同的蝕刻速率。在絕緣填充層18a為氧化物的實施例中,間隙壁層26例如是氮化物。間隙壁層26例如是化學氣相沉積法或原子層沉積法形成的氮化矽、氧化矽或其組合。間隙壁層26的厚度例如是第一閘極溝槽22或第二閘極溝槽24的寬度的1/10~1/3。間隙壁層26可以是單層或是多層。1D, a
請參照圖1E,對間隙壁層26進行非等向性蝕刻製程,以在第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24的側壁形成間隙壁罩幕28。間隙壁罩幕28覆蓋住絕緣填充層18a於第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24內的頂部的周圍部分,且使得絕緣填充層18a於第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24內的頂部的中心部分裸露出來。1E, an anisotropic etching process is performed on the
請參照圖1F,以間隙壁罩幕28為罩幕,進行蝕刻製程移除部分的絕緣填充層18a,以使第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24的深度加深,形成第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’。蝕刻製程可以是等向性蝕刻製程,例如是乾式蝕刻製程、濕式蝕刻製程或其組合。1F, using the
位於第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24內的絕緣填充層18a的頂部的中心部分由於未被間隙壁罩幕28遮蔽,因而被蝕刻的量較多;位於第一閘極溝槽22與第二閘極溝槽24內的絕緣填充層18a的頂部的周圍部分由於被間隙壁罩幕28遮蔽,較不易被蝕刻,因而被蝕刻的量較少。因此,在進行蝕刻製程之後留下絕緣填充層18b。絕緣填充層18b環繞導體層20a的下部的側壁與底部,且其於第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’內的頂部的中心部分較為凹陷,而頂部的周圍部分較為凸起。換言之,絕緣填充層18b包括主體MB與凸起物P1、P2、P3、P4。主體部MB環繞導體層20a的下部的側壁與底部。凸起物P1、P2、P3、P4在主體部MB上且在鄰近第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’的側壁,即磊晶層14與導體層20a的側壁。凸起物P1、P2、P3、P4具有與基底10表面大致垂直的側壁,其與磊晶層14或導體層20a的側壁相鄰。凸起物P1、P2、P3、P4還具有弧型的側壁,其寬度自磊晶層14的第二表面14b向磊晶層14的第一表面14a漸縮。因此,所形成的第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’具有大於90度的底角,而底角可以呈例如是圓弧形。Since the central part of the top of the insulating
請參照圖1G與1H,移除間隙壁罩幕28,裸露出第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’。接著,在磊晶層14與導體層20a上以及第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’之中形成介電層30。介電層30可以是以熱氧化法或是化學氣相沉積法形成的氧化矽。在介電層30可以是以熱氧化法形成的氧化矽層的一些實施例中,由於導體層20a的摻雜濃度大於磊晶層14的摻雜濃度,相較於磊晶層14,導體層20a較易於氧化。因此,在導體層20a表面所形成的介電層(氧化矽層)30的厚度大於在磊晶層14表面所形成的介電層(氧化矽層)30的厚度。此外,由於第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’底角處的旁的凸起物P1、P2、P3、P4相當薄,因此氧化的氣體(例如是氧氣)仍可以穿過凸起物P1、P2、P3、P4而與磊晶層14以及導體層20a的側壁反應而形成氧化矽層。在一些實施例中,在形成介電層30之後,第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’的剩餘空間仍具有圓弧形的底角,或大於90度的底角。1G and 1H, the

請參照圖1J,對導體層31進行回蝕刻,移除第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’以外的導體層31,以在第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’之中形成第一閘極32與第二閘極34。由於第一閘極32與第二閘極34佔據第一閘極溝槽22’與第二閘極溝槽24’剩餘的空間,因此第一閘極32與第二閘極34具有大於90度的底角。底角可以呈例如是圓弧形。1J, the
在第一閘極32與磊晶層14之間的介電層30與凸起物P1之間具有弧形界面(interface),且其二者合稱為第一閘介電層30a。在第二閘極34與磊晶層14之間的介電層30與凸起物P2之間具有弧形界面,且其二者合稱為第二閘介電層30b。第一閘極32與導體層20a之間的介電層30與凸起物P3之間具有弧形界面,且其二者合稱為第一絕緣層30c。第二閘極34與導體層20a之間的介電層30與凸起物P4之間具有弧形界面,且其二者合稱為第二絕緣層30d。There is an arc-shaped interface between the

請參照圖1L與圖2,第一閘極32與第二閘極34的底角α1、β1與α2、β2為大於90度的鈍角。底角可以呈例如是圓弧形。此外,由於導體層20a中的摻雜濃度大於磊晶層14的摻雜濃度,因此,形成在導體層20a側壁的介電層30較厚於形成在磊晶層14側壁的介電層30的厚度。因此,在導體層20a與第一閘極32之間且由介電層30與凸起物P3所組合的第一絕緣層30c的平均厚度T3大於在磊晶層14與第一閘極32之間且由介電層30與凸起物P1所組合的第一閘介電層30a的平均厚度T1,如圖2、圖3A與圖3B所示。在導體層20a與第二閘極34之間且由介電層30與凸起物P4所組合的第二絕緣層30d的平均厚度T4大於在磊晶層14與第二閘極34之間且由介電層30與凸起物P2所組合的第二閘介電層30b的平均厚度T2,如圖2、圖3C與圖3D所示。1L and FIG. 2, the bottom angles α1, β1, α2, and β2 of the

However, the present invention is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the SGT MOSFET may have two cells C1 and C1', as shown in FIG. 4. The cells C1 and C1' are adjacent to each other, and the
在另一些實施例中,SGT MOSFET可以具有更多個單元,而這一些單元可以排列成一個陣列。換言之,SGT MOSFET可具有多個閘極、多個源極摻雜區與多個汲極摻雜區。這一些多個閘極、多個源極與多個汲極可以分別排列成一個陣列,且這一些多個閘極、多個源極摻雜區與多個汲極摻雜區可以分別藉由內連線而連接在一起而形成一個閘極端點、一個源極端點以及一個汲極端點。In other embodiments, the SGT MOSFET may have more cells, and these cells may be arranged in an array. In other words, the SGT MOSFET may have multiple gates, multiple source doped regions, and multiple drain doped regions. These multiple gates, multiple sources, and multiple drains can be respectively arranged in an array, and these multiple gates, multiple source doped regions, and multiple drain doped regions can be respectively arranged by Inner wires are connected together to form a gate terminal point, a source terminal point and a drain terminal point.
綜上所述,本發明在閘極溝槽的側壁形成間隙壁罩幕,再進行等向性蝕刻製程,使閘極溝槽的深度加深並使其具有圓弧形的底角,使得後續用以形成閘介電層的氧化製程所使用的氧氣可以穿過閘極溝槽底角處的凸起物,使得閘極溝槽底角周圍做為隔離場板的導體層以及磊晶層可以被氧化,而在閘極溝槽底角形成氧化層。由於閘極溝槽底角處具有足夠厚的氧化層,因此可以降低閘極與隔離場板之間的漏電流,提升元件的崩潰電壓。經模擬實驗顯示,崩潰電壓可以提升2倍至3倍左右。在維持相同的崩潰電壓的前提下,可以增加磊晶層的濃度,以降低導通電阻(Ron),減少閘極電荷量(QG),改善品質因素(FOM),提升元件的效能。In summary, in the present invention, a gap wall mask is formed on the sidewall of the gate trench, and then an isotropic etching process is performed to deepen the depth of the gate trench and make it have an arc-shaped bottom corner, so that the subsequent use The oxygen used in the oxidation process to form the gate dielectric layer can pass through the protrusions at the bottom corners of the gate trench, so that the conductor layer around the bottom corner of the gate trench as the isolation field plate and the epitaxial layer can be Oxidation, and an oxide layer is formed at the bottom corner of the gate trench. Since there is a sufficiently thick oxide layer at the bottom corner of the gate trench, the leakage current between the gate and the isolation field plate can be reduced, and the breakdown voltage of the device can be increased. Simulation experiments show that the breakdown voltage can be increased by about 2 to 3 times. Under the premise of maintaining the same breakdown voltage, the concentration of the epitaxial layer can be increased to reduce the on-resistance (Ron), reduce the gate charge (QG), improve the quality factor (FOM), and enhance the performance of the device.
