本發明係有關一種功率元件,特別是指一種具有橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體(lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor,LIGBT)之功率元件。本發明也有關於功率元件之製造方法。 The present invention relates to a power device, in particular to a power device with a lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT). The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing power components.
圖1A與1B顯示一種先前技術之具有橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體(lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor,LIGBT)之功率元件(功率元件100)的上視示意圖與剖視示意圖。功率元件100用以控制飛輪馬達中之飛輪電流;其中飛輪電流流經功率元件100後,以驅動飛輪馬達。其中,飛輪馬達用以控制飛輪(flywheel),以於飛輪的旋轉運動中儲存旋轉動能,其為本領域中具有通常知識者所熟知,在此不予贅述。一般而言,功率元件100包含彼此並聯之複數LIGBT(圖1A與1B以一個橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1代表),以及一PN二極體。
1A and 1B show a schematic top view and a schematic cross-sectional view of a prior art power device (power device 100 ) with a lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT). The
如圖1A與1B所示,功率元件100形成於半導體基板11上,其包含橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1以及PN二極體PN1。圖
1B顯示圖1A中,剖線AA’的剖視示意圖。PN二極體PN1包括第一場氧化區121、第一N型區131、第一N型延伸區141、第一P型區151、閘極161、反向端171以及順向端181;其中,第一N型區131、第一N型延伸區141、第一P型區151、反向端171以及順向端181皆形成於第一絕緣底層12上的一磊晶層中。第一絕緣結構ISO1包括第一絕緣底層12以及第一絕緣側壁123,其中第一絕緣底層12形成於半導體基板11上並連接於半導體基板11。第一絕緣結構ISO1在磊晶層的上表面下,封閉式地包圍PN二極體PN1,使PN二極體PN1在磊晶層的上表面下,電性隔絕其他元件。
As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B , a
橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1形成於半導體基板11上,如圖1A與1B所示,橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1包括第二場氧化區122、第二N型區132、第二N型延伸區142、第二P型區152、閘極162、汲極172、射極182以及P型接觸極184;其中,第二N型區132、第二N型延伸區142、第二P型區152、汲極172、射極182以及P型接觸極184形成於第二絕緣底層12’上的該磊晶層中。第二絕緣結構ISO2包括第二絕緣底層12’以及第二絕緣側壁124,其中第二絕緣結構ISO2在磊晶層的上表面下,封閉式地包圍橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1,使橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1在磊晶層的上表面下,電性隔絕其他元件。如圖1A所示,第三絕緣側壁125形成環狀封閉側壁,將第一絕緣側壁123與第二絕緣側壁124包圍於其中,也就是將功率元件100包圍於第三絕緣側壁125所形成的環狀封閉側壁中。
The lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 is formed on the
圖1C與1D分別顯示功率元件100的電路符號與電性特徵曲線示意圖。橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1操作機制,如圖1B中粗黑實線的電路符號所示意,並參閱圖1C與1D,是利用閘極162(閘極G)控制由射極182(射極E)、第二N型延伸區142與第二P型區152所形成的PNP雙極接面電晶體(bipolar junction transistor,BJT)中的基極電流,導通橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1,透過設計基極寬度和濃度,可以決定導通電流IC的放大率,以得到最佳的導通電壓,降低功率損耗。橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1的基極電流是受到閘極電壓,也就是施加於閘極162的電壓所控制。隨著閘極電壓增加,基極電流與射極電流等比增加。
1C and 1D respectively show a circuit symbol and a schematic diagram of an electrical characteristic curve of the
當橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1應用於馬達驅動時,需要通過短路保護測試(short circuits test),測試方法是將橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1中,施加於閘極162(閘極G)的電壓增加到最大供應電壓(通常是15~20V),而施加於射極182(射極E)的電壓,則加壓到基底(bulk)電壓,例如但不限於400V。此時因為流經汲極172(汲極C)導通電流IC達到最大電流。當最大的導通電流IC通過電阻Re,容易觸發橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1中,由第二N型區132、第二P型區152與汲極172所組成的寄生NPNBJT導通,觸發寄生於橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1中的PNPN栓鎖(latch-up)效應,而造成高壓元件100損壞。過高的導通電流IC將使高壓元件100損壞的風險越高,所以適當限制導通電流IC的最大電流,才能降低觸發栓鎖效應的發生機率。
When the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 is applied to drive the motor, it needs to pass the short circuit test (short circuits test). The test method is to apply the lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor LIGBT1 to the gate 162 (gate The voltage of G) is increased to the maximum supply voltage (usually 15~20V), and the voltage applied to the emitter 182 (emitter E) is increased to the bulk voltage, such as but not limited to 400V. At this time, the conduction current IC reaches the maximum current due to flowing through the drain 172 (drain C). When the maximum conduction current IC passes through the resistor Re, it is easy to trigger the parasitic NPNBJT composed of the second N-
傳統控制基極電流以限制導通電流IC的方法,都是透過控制施加於閘極162的電壓,避免過大的施加於閘極162的電壓變化。方法通常是利用另外的閘極驅動電路中的穩壓電路,抑制異常升高的電壓源,此方法可以有效控制來自電壓源不穩定的問題,但是對於外部短路造成的閘極-射極電容Cge感應電壓過大,則效果有限。如圖1C所示,因為由外部進行短路測試時,其他相的高壓接觸待測相時會將施加於射極182的電壓拉高造成突波(如圖1C中,射極E旁的訊號波形所示意)並透過閘極-射極電容Cge感應,進而如圖1D所示,造成施加於閘極G的電壓(如圖1C中,閘極G旁的訊號波形所示意)升高,進而造成基極電流與導通電流IC大增,而大幅提高橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體LIGBT1中的PNPN栓鎖(latch-up)效應被觸發的機率。
The traditional method of controlling the base current to limit the conduction current IC is to control the voltage applied to the
有鑑於此,本發明即針對上述先前技術之不足,提出一種具有橫向絕緣閘極雙極性電晶體之功率元件及其製造方法,可降低功率元件100的栓鎖效應發生機率,以提高功率元件100的應用範圍。
