Abstract

一種製造碳化矽半導體功率元件的方法。在所述方法中,高壓(HV)區的功率元件和低壓(LV)區的CMOS裝置一起形成,因此可以顯著地節省成本並且顯著地改進系統效率。首先,在基板上形成第一漂移層,然後在第一漂移層中形成屏蔽區。屏蔽區包括LV區中的連續區。然後,在第一漂移層上形成第二漂移層。在第二漂移層中形成拾取區,拾取區連接到屏蔽區的連續區,同時形成LV區的NMOS和PMOS以及HV區的功率元件。NMOS和PMOS被拾取區和連續區包圍,從而最大限度地減少本體效應。

本發明將通過以下實施例配合圖示說明。然而,本發明可以以許多不同的形式來體現,並不應被解釋為限於本文所闡述的實施例。在圖式中,為清楚和具體的目的,各層和區域的尺寸 和相對尺寸可能並未按照準確的比例呈現。
圖1A至圖1I是根據本發明的一實施例的一種製造碳化矽半導體功率元件的流程剖面示意圖。
請參照圖1A,使用碳化矽(SiC)基底100,並且SiC基底100可以是第一導電類型基底,並且第一導電類型例如是n型。SiC基底100包括低壓區LV和高壓區HV。然後在SiC基底100的上表面100a上形成第一導電類型第一漂移層102。在第一導電類型第一漂移層102中形成第二導電類型屏蔽區(shielding region)104。在本實施例中,第二導電類型是p型。第二導電類型屏蔽區104至少包括低壓區LV中的連續區106和高壓區HV中的多個條狀區108。在本實施例中,第一導電類型第一漂移層102的摻雜濃度範圍例如為1E15/cm3至5E16/cm3,第二導電類型屏蔽區104的摻雜濃度範圍例如為1E17/cm3至5E18/cm3。注入於第二導電類型屏蔽區104的摻雜劑例如為選自鋁、硼及錫中的至少一種。然而,本發明不限於此。在一個實施例中,第二導電類型屏蔽區104的厚度t1例如為0.1μm至0.4μm。然而,本發明不限於此。
然後,請參照圖1B,在第一導電類型第一漂移層102上形成第一導電類型第二漂移層110。在一個實施例中,第一導電類型第二漂移層110的摻雜濃度為第一導電類型第一漂移層102的摻雜濃度的1.2至3倍。
接著,請參照圖1C,在第一導電類型第二漂移層110 中同時形成第二導電類型第一井區W1和第二導電類型第二井區W2,其中第二導電類型第一井區W1形成在第一導電類型的MOS區中的低壓區LV(例如NMOS區),並且第二導電類型第二井區W2形成在高壓區HV中。在一個實施例中,第二導電類型第一井區W1和第二導電類型第二井區W2的摻雜濃度範圍為1E17/cm3至6E17/cm3,第二導電類型第一井區W1和第二導電類型第二井區W1的厚度t2範圍例如為1μm至2μm。然而,本發明不限於此。在一個實施例中,第二導電類型第一井區W1與連續區106之間的距離例如為0.5μm至4μm。在第一導電類型第二漂移層110中同時形成第二導電類型第一拾取區112a和第二導電類型第二拾取區(如圖2所示),第二導電類型第一拾取區112a是連接至連續區106,其中低壓區LV中的第一導電類型MOS區(例如NMOS)和第二導電類型MOS區(例如PMOS)被第二導電類型第一拾取區112a包圍。第二導電類型第二拾取區形成在高壓區HV內並在其他截面處連接到條狀區108。在一個實施例中,第二導電類型第一拾取區112a和第二導電類型第二拾取區的摻雜濃度例如為2E17/cm3至5E18/cm3。然而,本發明不限於此。
接著,請參照圖1D,如有必要,在形成第二導電類型第一拾取區112a和第二導電類型第二拾取區的步驟之後,可以在高壓區HV內的第二導電類型第二井區W2中形成第一導電類型第一輕摻雜汲極(LDD)區114。在一個實施例中,第一導電類型第一LDD區114的摻雜濃度例如為5E17/cm3至5E18/cm3。第一導 電類型第一LDD區114的深度例如為0.1μm至0.4μm。然而,本發明不限於此。
接著,請參照圖1E,在高壓區HV的第一導電類型第二漂移層110中形成多個溝槽116,然後在每個溝槽116的表面上形成第二閘極介電層118。每個溝槽116在垂直方向形成在每個條狀區108上。在一個實施例中,第二閘極介電層118的厚度t3例如為400Å至2000Å。然而,本發明不限於此。
接著,請參照圖1F,在低壓區LV內的第一導電類型第二漂移層110上形成第一閘極介電層120。在一個實施例中,第一閘極介電層120的厚度t4例如為100Å至600Å。然而,本發明不限於此。第二閘極介電層118是在形成第一閘極介電層120之前形成。然而,本發明不限於此。在另一實施例中,第一閘極介電層120可在形成第二閘極介電層118之前形成。對於低壓區LV中的閘極和高壓區HV中的溝槽式閘極的形成,多晶矽層PL沉積在第一閘極介電層120上並填充溝槽116。
接著,請參照圖1G,可以形成圖案化罩幕(未示出)以覆蓋低壓區LV內的部分多晶矽層PL,然後使用圖案化罩幕作為刻蝕罩幕去除暴露的多晶矽層PL,同時回刻蝕高壓區HV內的多晶矽層PL。因此,閘極G1和G2分別形成在第一導電類型MOS區域(例如NMOS)和第二導電類型MOS區域(例如PMOS)內的第一閘極介電層120上,並且多個溝槽式閘極TG分別形成在條狀區108上方的溝槽116。由於第二導電類型屏蔽區104的每個條 狀區108設置在形成溝槽式閘極TG的每個溝槽116的底部下方,所以溝槽116底部的第二閘極介電層118高電場的問題可以解決,有效Cgd值也可以顯著降低。因此,在高壓區HV的功率垂直MOSFET的工作中,可以實現更好的電特性,同時也提高了溝槽116底部的氧化物可靠性。接著,可以去除圖案化罩幕。
接著,請參照圖1H,同時形成多個HV源極區HS和多個第一源/汲極區S/D1,其中HV源極區HS形成在溝槽式閘極TG之間的第二導電類型第二井區W2中,第一源/汲極區S/D1形成在第二導電類型第一井區W1中。在一個實施例中,形成多個HV源極區HS的步驟包括在第二導電類型MOS區(例如PMOS)內的第一導電類型第二漂移層110中形成第二體區122。同時形成第二導電類型第一重摻雜區(如圖2所示)、多個第二導電類型第二重摻雜區124a和多個第二源/汲極區S/D2,其中第二導電類型第二重摻雜區124a形成在溝槽式閘極TG之間並連接到第二導電類型第二井區W2,並且第二源/汲極區S/D2形成在第二導電類型的MOS區中的第一導電類型第二漂移層110。在一個實施例中,形成第二導電類型第二重摻雜區124a的步驟包括在第二導電類型第一井區W1中形成第一體區126。
接著,請參照圖1I,在第一導電類型第二漂移層110上選擇性地形成絕緣層128,然後在絕緣層128中形成開口O1和O2,然後在開口O1和O2中沉積導電材料(例如金屬或合金)130。HV汲極D形成在SiC基底100的底表面100b上。
根據本實施例的碳化矽半導體功率元件,由於第一導電類型第一漂移層102和第一導電類型第二漂移層110是由低壓區LV中的第二導電類型屏蔽區104的連續區106隔離,第一導電類型第一漂移層102中的電位與第一導電類型第二漂移層110中的電位不同。第一導電類型第二漂移層110是對PMOS源極的體偏壓。第二導電類型第一井區W1被第一導電類型第二漂移層110和第二導電類型屏蔽區104的連續區106隔離,可以有效地過濾高壓區HV中的功率垂直MOSFET產生的雜訊。
圖2是根據所述實施例中的一例的碳化矽半導體功率元件的高壓區(HV)的俯視圖。圖3是沿圖2的線III-III'的截面圖。在圖2和圖3中,與圖1I相同或相似的標號用於表示相同或相似的部件,相同或相似部件的內容也與圖1I中的內容相同,故在此不再贅述。然而,這些部件的相對位置可以被調整並且與圖1I中所示的不同。
請參照圖2和圖3,存在三個溝槽式閘極TG,並且形成連接部分200以連接溝槽式閘極TG。連接部分200可以通過使用在關於圖1G的步驟中所述的圖案化罩幕來形成。如圖1G所示,覆蓋溝槽116外的多晶矽層。然而,本發明不限於此。可以根據需要改變溝槽式閘極TG的數量和形成連接部分200的方法。第二導電類型第一重摻雜區124b形成在第一導電類型第二漂移層110中並且連接到第二導電類型第二拾取區112b。每一條狀區108的一端108a延伸至第二導電類型第二井區W2的區域外。在一個實 施例中,每個條狀區108的一端108a通過第二導電類型第二拾取區112b連接到第二導電類型第一重摻雜區124b。
圖4是根據所述實施例中的一例的碳化矽半導體功率元件的低壓區(LV)的俯視圖,其中與圖1I中相同或相似的標號用於表示相同或相似的部件,相同或相似部件的內容也與圖1I中的內容相同,在此不再贅述。然而,這些部件的相對位置可以被調整並且與圖1I中所示的不同。
如圖4所示,PMOS區和NMOS區構成CMOS。在PMOS區域中,第二源/汲極區S/D2形成在每個閘極G2的兩側,並且在一個實施例中,在形成閘極G2的步驟之後(圖1G的步驟之後),可以在閘極G2與第二源/汲極區S/D2之間的第一導電類型第二漂移層中形成第二導電類型的LDD區(未示出)。在NMOS區域中,第一源/汲極區S/D1形成在每個閘極G1的兩側,並且在一個實施例中,在形成閘極G1的步驟之後(圖1G的步驟之後),第一導電類型第二LDD區(未示出)可以形成在第二導電類型第一井區W1中的閘極G1和第一源/汲極區S/D1之間。即使閘極G1和G2的排列方向與圖1中閘極G1和G2的排列方向不同,如圖1G的碳化矽半導體功率元件結構中的CMOS製程流程仍然可以通過調整光罩幕圖案製造。此外,第二體區122設置在PMOS區的一側,閘極G1和第一源/汲極區S/D1被第一體區126包圍。
雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明的 精神和範圍內,當可作些許的更動與潤飾,故本發明的保護範圍當視後附的申請專利範圍所界定者為準。
