Definitions
- the present disclosure is formed on a common semiconductor substrate so that two functions of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (hereinafter simply referred to as IGBT) and a free wheel diode (hereinafter simply referred to as FWD) function as one element.
- IGBT insulated gate bipolar transistor
- FWD free wheel diode
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device (RC-IGBT).
- a semiconductor device for driving a load such as a motor
- a semiconductor device RC-
- IGBT semiconductor device
- an NMOS structure including a P-type base layer, an N + -type emitter layer, a gate structure, an emitter electrode, and the like is formed on the surface side of the N ⁇ -type drift layer.
- An N-type buffer layer is formed on the back side of the drift layer, and a P-type collector layer is selectively formed on the opposite side of the buffer layer from the drift layer side.
- a collector electrode electrically connected to the collector layer and the buffer layer is formed.
- the semiconductor device has the following current-voltage characteristics (IV characteristics). That is, when the collector current I C is 0 A, the voltage V CE is 0 V, and in the region where the collector current I C is small, the voltage V CE increases. When more than sufficient collector current I C to cause conductivity modulation, voltage V CE is abruptly reduced.
- Such a phenomenon is generally called a snapback phenomenon and is not preferable in practice.
- the maximum value of the voltage V CE is abruptly reduced immediately before the voltage as is increased collector current I C is called snapback voltage.
- Patent Documents 1 to 3 propose a structure for suppressing a snapback phenomenon in a semiconductor device formed on a common semiconductor substrate so that each of two functions of IGBT and FWD functions as one element. Has been.
- the resistivity of the drift layer is ⁇ 1 ( ⁇ ⁇ cm)
- the thickness of the drift layer is L1 ( ⁇ m)
- the resistivity of the buffer layer is ⁇ 2 ( ⁇ ⁇ cm)
- the buffer layer Is L2 ( ⁇ m) and 1 ⁇ 2 of the minimum width of the collector layer in the substrate plane direction is W2 ( ⁇ m)
- Equation 1 ( ⁇ 1 / ⁇ 2) ⁇ (L1 ⁇ L2 / W2 2 ) ⁇ 1.6 It has been proposed to configure a semiconductor device to satisfy the above.
- Patent Document 2 proposes a semiconductor device in which a p-type barrier layer having an opening formed immediately above the collector layer is formed on the drift layer side of the buffer layer.
- the electrons are constricted by the opening, and the electrons can be concentrated in a region between the barrier layer and the collector layer in the buffer layer.
- the voltage drop due to electrons can be increased, and the occurrence of the snapback phenomenon can be reduced. In other words, the snapback voltage can be reduced.

- the semiconductor devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have the following problems. That is, in order to reduce the conduction loss when the IGBT is turned on, it is effective to reduce the thickness of the drift layer. However, when the IGBT is turned off, the depletion layer becomes a collector layer. In order to prevent this from happening, a structure that compensates for the space charge lost by increasing the impurity density of the buffer layer and thinning the drift layer is conceivable. In this case, for example, when a buffer layer is formed by doping impurities such as phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony that are general donors, the carrier density increases as the space charge density increases as the space charge density increases. The resistance value of the drift layer becomes small.
- the width of the collector layer is widened, a region in which only a voltage equal to or lower than the built-in voltage is applied in the PN junction formed between the collector layer and the buffer layer is widened. That is, the PN junction into which holes are injected becomes narrower than the entire PN junction formed between the collector layer and the buffer layer. And since the interval between adjacent PN junctions into which holes are injected becomes wide, a large distribution bias occurs in the carrier density (holes and electrons) during operation, and as a result of current concentration, the device is likely to be destroyed. A problem occurs. In addition, since the PN junction region into which holes are injected becomes narrow, the effective area that functions as the IGBT is reduced, and there is a problem that the conduction loss of the IGBT is increased.
- the impurity density of the buffer layer is simply reduced.
- the leakage current increases because the depletion layer reaches the collector layer even when the reverse voltage is low. That is, there is a problem that the blocking voltage (breakdown voltage) is lowered.
- the OFF state is a state in which neither IGBT nor FWD is turned on, and a potential lower than a predetermined threshold potential is applied to the gate electrode while applying a higher potential to the collector electrode than the emitter electrode. .
- the present disclosure simultaneously improves all items of snapback phenomenon, IGBT and FWD conduction loss, current concentration, and breakdown voltage reduction in a semiconductor device formed on a common semiconductor substrate so as to have two functions of IGBT and FWD.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device that can be used.

That is, the side opposite to the drift layer 2 side of the buffer layer 11 is configured such that the buffer layers 11 and the collector layers 12 are alternately arranged in the cross section shown in FIG.
- a collector electrode 13 is formed on the opposite side of the buffer layer 11 to the drift layer 2 side so that the collector layer 12 and the buffer layer 11 are short-circuited.

That is, the carrier density of the level in the frozen region varies greatly depending on the operating temperature of the semiconductor device. In other words, the resistance value of the buffer layer 11 varies greatly depending on the operating temperature of the semiconductor device. For this reason, when the buffer layer 11 is composed only of levels in the frozen region, for example, the activation rate of the lower limit temperature at the operating temperature of the semiconductor device is 1%, and the activation rate of the upper limit temperature is 10%.

- the cathode layer 14 is configured by doping, for example, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, or the like.
- the contact resistance between the buffer layer 11 (cathode layer 14) and the collector electrode 13 can be reduced. Further, since the carrier density (electrons) of the cathode layer 14 is large, it is possible to increase the electrons injected from the collector electrode 13 (cathode layer 14) during the FWD operation.
