Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device.
- power semiconductor devices there are diodes having a withstand voltage of 400 V, 600 V, 1200 V, 1700 V, 3300 V or more, IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors), and the like. These power semiconductor devices are used in power converters such as converters and inverters. Power semiconductor devices are required to have characteristics such as low loss, high efficiency and high tolerance, and low cost.
- FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of a diode for explaining the prior art.
- a p-type anode layer 1501 is formed on the main surface of the n ⁇ -type semiconductor substrate 1500, and an n + -type cathode layer 1502 is formed on the opposite side.
- a p-type layer to be a termination region 1503 is formed at the outer peripheral position of the p-type anode layer 1501.
- An anode electrode 1505 is provided on the p-type anode layer 1501, and a cathode electrode 1506 is provided on the lower surface of the n + -type cathode layer 1502.
- Numeral 1507 is a field plate, and numeral 1508 is an insulating layer.
- control of doping concentration at a deep position of the n ⁇ -type semiconductor substrate 1500 is required from the front surface side toward the back surface side. It is done.
- a method of carrier concentration control there is known a method of donor generation using proton injection which can obtain a deep range in silicon at a relatively low acceleration voltage.
- This method is a method of performing proton injection into a region containing a predetermined concentration of oxygen to form an n-type region.
- This proton implantation is known to generate crystal defects in a silicon substrate. This crystal defect is essential for donor formation, but depending on the type and concentration of the defect, the leakage current increases and the electrical characteristics deteriorate.
- the defect introduced by proton injection is not only the proton range Rp (the distance from the injection surface at the position where the ion injected is most concentrated) but also the proton from the injection surface to the flight range Many remain in the passage area and near the injection surface.
- This residual defect is in a state close to an amorphous state due to a large deviation of atoms (in this case, silicon atoms) from lattice positions and strong disorder of the crystal lattice itself. Therefore, residual defects cause scattering centers of carriers such as electrons and holes to lower carrier mobility and increase conduction resistance, and cause carriers to become generation centers to increase leakage current, etc. Bring As described above, the proton injection causes a defect which is strongly disturbed from the crystal state, which remains in the proton passage region from the proton injection surface to the range and causes a decrease in carrier mobility and a leakage current. Especially called disorder.
- disorder lowers carrier mobility and causes characteristic defects such as increase in leakage current and conduction loss. Therefore, there is a need for a suitable crystal defect control technique that generates donors while suppressing the increase in leakage current.
- one of the main donor generation factors is that hydrogen introduced into silicon is replaced with oxygen of VO defects in which silicon vacancies and oxygen atoms are linked by heat treatment, and oxygen clusters It is known to promote donorization.
- a technique related to the amount of proton injection and annealing temperature see, for example, Patent Document 1 below
- a technology that describes heat treatment conditions for a donor generation method by proton injection for example, 2
- a technique is disclosed in which the depth from the injection surface is described for the region formed by the donor generation method by proton injection.
- silicon thyristor pellets are locally ion-implanted with protons in the peripheral portion, subjected to low-temperature heat treatment to locally convert protons in crystals, and low resistance channel stop layer
- the channel stop layer is formed by a simple process at a location in the crystal where patterning of the silicon substrate is difficult.
- Patent Document 2 relates to a method of forming a blocking zone embedded in a semiconductor substrate, comprising the steps of preparing a semiconductor substrate having a first and a second surface and having a basic doping of a first conductivity type. Injecting protons into one of the first and second surfaces of the semiconductor substrate such that protons are introduced into a first region of the semiconductor substrate spaced apart from the injection surface; A heat treatment is performed to heat the semiconductor substrate to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, and hydrogen-induced donors are generated in both the first region and a second region adjacent to the first region and the injection surface. And the step of
- a plurality of blocking zones are formed by the injection of protons into a semiconductor substrate, and the deepest one of them is formed to a depth of 15 ⁇ m from the injection surface.
- Patent Document 1 does not describe in detail the hydrogen atmosphere annealing.
- Patent Document 2 does not describe a method for increasing the donor conversion rate.
- the donor conversion ratio is the ratio of the integrated concentration in the depth direction of the region donor-converted by proton to the irradiation dose (dose amount) of proton.
- FIG. 13 is a characteristic diagram comparing the carrier concentration distribution when the range Rp of proton injection is around 15 ⁇ m and deeper than that for each range.
- 13 (a) shows the case where the range Rp is 50 ⁇ m
- FIG. 13 (b) shows the case where the range Rp is 20 ⁇ m

FIG. 17 shows the distance X from the back surface of the peak position of the field stop layer to which the end of the depletion layer first reaches at each of the rated voltages of 600 V to 6500 V.
- X W 0 ⁇ L
- ⁇ is a coefficient. For example, X is shown when this ⁇ is changed from 0.7 to 1.6.
- n as shown in FIG. 17 - the total thickness of the type semiconductor substrate (thickness at the finish after thinning by grinding or the like) and the n - drift region Average resistivity. Average is the average concentration and resistivity across the n - drift region, including the field stop layer.
- the rated voltage the typical values shown in the rated current density J F also Figure 17.
- the rated current density J F is set such that the energy density determined by the product of the rated voltage and the rated current density J F is approximately a constant value, and is approximately the value shown in FIG.
- the distance index L is calculated according to the above equation (1) using these values, the values are as shown in FIG.
- the distance X from the back surface of the peak position of the field stop layer to which the end of the depletion layer first reaches is the thickness W of the n -- type semiconductor substrate with a value where ⁇ is 0.7 to 1.6 for this distance index L It is the value subtracted from 0 .
- FIG. 14 is a characteristic diagram showing the threshold voltage at which the voltage waveform starts to vibrate.
- FIG. 14 shows the dependence of the oscillation start threshold V RRO on this ⁇ , for several typical rated voltages V rate (600 V, 1200 V, 3300 V).
- the vertical axis is a value obtained by standardizing the oscillation start threshold V RRO with the rated voltage V rate . It is understood that the oscillation start threshold value V RRO can be rapidly increased when ⁇ is 1.5 or less for all three rated voltages V rate .
- the operating voltage (power supply voltage V CC ) to be the voltage V is about half of the rated voltage V rate. Therefore, when the power supply voltage V CC is half the rated voltage V rate At least diode reverse recovery oscillation should not occur. That is, the value of V RRO / V rate needs to be 0.5 or more. From FIG. 14, it is preferable that at least ⁇ be 0.2 to 1.5 because ⁇ is 0.2 or more and 1.5 or less for the value of V RRO / V rate to be 0.5 or more. .
- ⁇ is smaller than 0.7, although the oscillation start threshold V RRO is about 80% or more of the rated voltage V rate , the field stop layer becomes close to the p-type base layer, so that the avalanche breakdown voltage of the element is the rated voltage V rate. It may be smaller. Therefore, ⁇ is preferably 0.7 or more. In addition, when ⁇ becomes larger than 1.4, the oscillation start threshold V RRO rapidly decreases from about 70% of the rated voltage V rate , and reverse recovery oscillation tends to occur. Therefore, ⁇ is preferably 1.4 or less.
- the avalanche breakdown voltage of the element is sufficiently higher than the rated voltage V rate when ⁇ is in the range of 0.8 to 1.3, and more preferably in the range of 0.9 to 1.2.
- the oscillation start threshold V RRO can be maximized .
- the diode can sufficiently retain accumulated carriers during reverse recovery, thereby suppressing the oscillation phenomenon.
- the distance X from the back surface of the peak position of the field stop layer to which the end of the depletion layer first reaches is preferably such that the coefficient ⁇ of the distance index L is in the above range.
- the distance index L shows that any rated voltage V rate is deeper than 20 ⁇ m. That is, the reason for setting the range Rp of protons to form the deepest first-stage proton peak from the back surface to be deeper than 15 ⁇ m, particularly 20 ⁇ m or more from the back surface of the substrate is just to maximize this oscillation suppression effect. .
- the field stop layer in a region deeper than at least 15 ⁇ m from the back surface of the n ⁇ -type semiconductor substrate.
- the preferable range of (gamma) it is possible not to be a diode but to make the same range also in IGBT. That is, reverse recovery oscillation may be considered in place of turn-off oscillation, and the likelihood of occurrence of oscillation and the operation and effect of suppression are also similar.
- FIG. 16 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the range of protons and the acceleration energy of protons in the semiconductor device according to the present invention.
- the inventors of the present invention conducted intensive studies to find that the proton range Rp (the peak position of the field stop layer) and the proton acceleration energy E have a logarithm log (Rp) of the proton range Rp of x, the proton acceleration Assuming that the logarithm log (E) of the energy E is y, it has been found that there is a relationship of the following equation (2).
- FIG. 16 is a characteristic diagram showing the above equation (2), which shows the acceleration energy of proton for obtaining the desired range Rp of proton.
- the horizontal axis in FIG. 16 is the logarithm log (Rp) of the proton range Rp, and indicates the corresponding range Rp ( ⁇ m) in the lower parentheses of the axis value of log (Rp).
- the vertical axis is the logarithm log (E) of the acceleration energy E of proton, and the acceleration energy E of the corresponding proton is shown in the parentheses on the left side of the axis value of log (E).
- the acceleration energy E of proton injection is calculated (hereinafter referred to as a calculated value E) from the average range Rp of desired protons using the above-mentioned fitting equation, and the proton is used as the silicon substrate at the calculated value E of the acceleration energy.
- the actual average range Rp ′ is also about ⁇ 10% of the desired average range Rp It falls within the range and falls within the range of measurement error. Therefore, the variation of the actual average range Rp 'from the desired average range Rp has a negligible effect on the electrical characteristics of the diode or IGBT. Therefore, if the actual acceleration energy E 'is in the range of the calculated value E ⁇ 10%, it can be judged that the actual average range Rp' is substantially the average range Rp as set. Alternatively, there is no problem if the actual average range Rp 'falls within ⁇ 10% of the average range Rp calculated by applying the actual acceleration energy E' to the above equation (2).
- the acceleration energy E and the average range Rp can fall within the above range ( ⁇ 10%)
- the actual acceleration energy E ′ and the actual average range Rp ′ are desired average ranges
- the range of the variation or error may be ⁇ 10% or less with respect to the average range Rp, and preferably within ⁇ 5%, it can be considered that the above equation (2) is satisfactorily followed.
- the acceleration energy E of protons necessary to obtain the desired proton range Rp can be determined.
- the acceleration energy E of each of the protons for forming the field stop layer described above also uses the above equation (2), and the spread resistance measurement method (a sample in which protons are actually injected with the above acceleration energy E ′) is It agrees well with the measured value measured by the SRA method. Therefore, by using the above equation (2), it is possible to predict the acceleration energy E of the necessary proton based on the proton range Rp with extremely high accuracy.
- FIG. 21 is a characteristic diagram showing a reverse recovery waveform of the semiconductor device according to the present invention.
- FIG. 21 shows the reverse recovery waveform of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as Example 1) manufactured according to the first embodiment and the reverse recovery of a comparative example in which only electron beam irradiation is performed without proton injection. The waveform is shown.
- the rated voltage is 1200 V
- the doping concentration (average concentration) N d of the FZ silicon substrate and the finished thickness W 0 of the FZ silicon substrate after grinding are as shown in FIG.
- the ⁇ of the field stop layer deepest from the back surface of the substrate is 1.
- the dose is set to 300 kGy, and the acceleration energy is set to 5 MeV.
- the dose was 60 kGy.
- the forward voltage drop at the rated current density (the column of 1200 V in FIG. 17) was 1.8 V in both the present invention and the comparative example.
- the test conditions are: power supply voltage V CC is 800 V, initial steady-state anode current is rated current (current density ⁇ active area about 1 cm 2 ), diode in the chopper circuit, driving IGBT (same 1200 V), intermediate capacitor Stray inductance of 200 nH.
- Example 1 can reduce the reverse recovery peak current and reduce the overshoot voltage at which a high voltage is generated relative to the power supply voltage V CC by about 200 V, as compared with the comparative example.
- the reverse recovery waveform of the present invention is a so-called soft recovery waveform. This indicates that extremely soft waveforms can be achieved even with lifetime control by electron beam irradiation that tends to be hard recovery, but this is an effect that can not be obtained conventionally (comparative example).
- FIG. 20 is a characteristic diagram showing the carrier lifetime of the semiconductor device according to the present invention.
- FIG. 20 shows the net doping concentration, the point defect concentration, and the carrier lifetime with respect to the depth direction from the anode electrode in the diode of Example 1.
- the reason why the present invention can realize soft recovery is that the point defects (voids (V), double vacancies (VV)) introduced by electron beam irradiation are introduced by proton injection from the back of the substrate. It is presumed that the dangling bond is terminated by a hydrogen atom.
- Defects that promote the generation and annihilation of carriers are mainly point defects, and are energy centers (centers) mainly composed of vacancies (V) and double vacancies (VV). Dangling bonds are formed in point defects.
- protons from the back side of the substrate there and performing annealing (heat treatment)
- defects are alleviated and it is attempted to return to a state close to a normal crystalline state.
- the hydrogen atoms around the dangling bond are terminated.
- the centers composed mainly of vacancies (V) and double vacancies (VV) disappear.
- donors hydrogen-induced donors derived from hydrogen atoms are mainly composed of VOH defects of vacancy (V) + oxygen (O) + hydrogen (H), so dangling bonds are simply hydrogen atoms by proton injection. Not only terminated, but also VOH defects are formed. That is, the formation of the VOH defect most contributing to the donor formation is the reason for eliminating the point defects mainly composed of the holes (V) and the double holes (VV). It is speculated that this promotes the generation of VOH donors while reducing the density of the vacancies (V) and double vacancies (VV) responsible for leakage current and carrier recombination.
- the wafer contains oxygen.
- an FZ wafer manufactured from pure polysilicon contains about 1 ⁇ 10 15 / cm 3 to 1 ⁇ 10 16 / cm 3 of oxygen.
- oxygen is contained at about 1 ⁇ 10 16 / cm 3 to 1 ⁇ 10 17 / cm 3 . These contained oxygen contributes as O of the VOH defect.
- this proton injection mainly includes vacancies (V) and double vacancies (VV). It is presumed that relatively few VOH defects are formed, leaving a large amount of defects. This point is due to the formation of a field stop layer by proton injection from the back side of the substrate of the present invention and a hydrogen-induced donor, and the vacancy (V) and double holes obtained by the effect of terminating dangling bonds by electron irradiation with hydrogen atoms. This is a major difference from the reduction of defects mainly based on vacancies (VV).
- the lifetime of the depth region forming the field stop layer is longer than that of the shallow region, and becomes about 10 ⁇ s, for example.
- This value is a lifetime value (10 ⁇ s or more) when electron beam irradiation is not performed, or a value sufficiently close thereto.
- the concentration distribution of minority carriers in this case, holes (not shown) can be made sufficiently low on the anode side and high enough on the cathode side, making the carrier concentration distribution extremely ideal for the soft recovery characteristics of the diode. Can be achieved.
- vacancies in the area where the field stop layer is formed by introducing point defects in the depth direction of the substrate by electron beam irradiation and forming a field stop layer consisting of hydrogen-induced donors by proton injection from the back surface of the substrate. It is possible to reduce the point defects mainly composed of (V) and double holes (VV), and to make the lifetime distribution an effective distribution for the soft recovery characteristic.
- the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention is useful, for example, for a power semiconductor device used for motor control or engine control for industrial or automotive use.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明を適用した半導体装置としてダイオードを示す断面図である。図1に示す半導体装置100は、ダイオードの例を示すが、絶縁ゲートバイポーラトランジスタ(IGBT)であってもよい。
次に、上記構成の半導体装置100についての特性について説明する。図9は、第1の実施の形態にかかるダイオードの活性部の製造工程におけるアニール後のキャリア濃度の深さ方向の分布の測定結果を示す特性図である。プロトン炉において水素濃度が0%と4%のそれぞれでアニールを行った際の図1のX-X’軸部分の広がり抵抗測定法(SRA:Spreading Resistance Analysis)による測定結果を示している(図22~24においても同様)。このSRA法により測定したキャリア濃度は、キャリアの移動度が結晶の理想値と同じ場合はほぼドーピング濃度を示す。一方、結晶欠陥が多い場合や結晶の乱れ(ディスオーダー)が多い場合には、移動度が下がるので広がり抵抗が増加し、キャリア濃度が低く測定される(つまり、見かけ上、ドーピング濃度が低い値となる)。図中0の位置は、カソード電極106とn+層101bの境界である(図22~24においても同様)。水素濃度が0%の場合、図中点線で示すように、プロトンが通過した箇所は多量の結晶欠陥が生じるため、n層101aからn+層101bへの間において、キャリア濃度が下がっていることがわかる。
次に、第2の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法について説明する。第2の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法は、プロトンの加速エネルギーとアニール条件が第1の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法と異なる。第2の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法のプロトンのアニール条件以外の構成は、第1の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法と同様である。
次に、第3の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法について説明する。第3の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法が第1の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法と異なる点は、プロトンの加速エネルギーと、欠陥回復とドナー化率とが所望の状態となるように、水素濃度が0.5%以上4.65%未満の雰囲気において340℃より高く400℃以下の温度のプロトンのアニールを行う点である。このため、第3の実施の形態においては、各工程を行う順序が第1の実施の形態と異なり、プロトンのアニール後に、ライフタイム制御のための電子線照射および熱処理を行う。
次に、第4の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法について説明する。第4の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法が第1の実施の形態にかかる半導体装置の製造方法と異なる点は、加速エネルギーと、ドナー化率を高くするために、水素濃度が0.5%以上4.65%未満の雰囲気において300℃~450℃の温度でプロトンのアニールを行う点である。このため、第4の実施の形態においては、各工程を行う順序が第1の実施の形態と異なり、プロトンのアニール後に、おもて面保護膜の形成と、ライフタイム制御のための電子線照射および熱処理とを行う。
以上において本発明は、半導体基板にダイオードを形成する半導体装置の製造方法について説明したが、上述した実施の形態に限らず、絶縁ゲート型バイポーラトランジスタ(IGBT)のn層(フィールドストップ層)101aを作製するものについても同様に適用することが可能である。
次に、フィールドストップ層の位置についての説明を、第6の実施の形態として説明する。プロトン注入によるフィールドストップ層は、当然1つだけでなく複数形成してもよい。以下では、複数回のプロトン注入において、1段目のフィールドストップ層のプロトンピーク位置の好ましい位置について説明する。1段目のフィールドストップ層とは、ダイオードの場合はn+型カソード層、IGBTの場合はp+型コレクタ層側となる基板裏面から、深さ方向で最も深い箇所に位置するフィールドストップ層のことである。
次に、本発明にかかる半導体装置の製造方法におけるプロトンの加速エネルギーについての説明を、第7の実施の形態として説明する。上記のγの範囲を満たすように、空乏層が最初に達するフィールドストップ層のピーク位置が基板裏面からの距離Xを有するように当該フィールドストップ層を実際にプロトン注入で形成するには、プロトンの加速エネルギーを図16に示す特性図から決めればよい。図16は、本発明にかかる半導体装置のプロトンの飛程とプロトンの加速エネルギーとの関係を示す特性図である。
次に、本発明にかかる半導体装置の逆回復波形についての説明を、第8の実施の形態として説明する。図21は、本発明にかかる半導体装置の逆回復波形を示す特性図である。図21には、第1の実施の形態にしたがって作製された本発明(以下、実施例1とする)の逆回復波形と、プロトン注入を行わずに電子線照射のみとした比較例の逆回復波形とを示す。定格電圧は1200Vとし、FZシリコン基板のドーピング濃度(平均濃度)Nd、および、研削後のFZシリコン基板の仕上がり厚さW0は図17の通りである。基板裏面から最も深いフィールドストップ層のγは1である。電子線照射条件は、本発明では線量を300kGyとし、加速エネルギーを5MeVとした。比較例では線量を60kGyとした。本発明および比較例のいずれも定格電流密度(図17の1200Vの欄)における順電圧降下は1.8Vとした。試験条件は、電源電圧VCCを800Vとし、初期の定常的なアノード電流を定格電流(電流密度×活性面積約1cm2)とし、チョッパー回路においてダイオード、駆動用IGBT(同じ1200V)、中間コンデンサとの浮遊インダクタンスを200nHとした。
