Definitions
- the present invention relates to a structure of a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof.
- a semiconductor element using a silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor as a base material has attracted attention as a device capable of realizing a high breakdown voltage and a low loss.
- SiC silicon carbide
- MOSFETs metal-insulator / semiconductor junction field-effect transistors
- a load short circuit such as an arm short circuit occurs, and the power supply voltage is applied to the drain of the on-state element.
- a high voltage is applied, a large current flows through the element. In this state, a drain current several times to several tens of times the rated current is induced in the element, and if the device does not have an appropriate protection function, the element is destroyed.
- the element In order to prevent this, it is necessary to detect an excessive drain current (overcurrent) and to input an OFF signal to the gate electrode accordingly to interrupt the drain current before device breakdown occurs. Therefore, the element is required to have robustness that does not cause element destruction over a period of time from occurrence of a load short-circuit or the like to detection of an overcurrent until input of an off signal to the gate electrode. That is, it is strongly desired that the short circuit tolerance is high. Note that the short circuit withstand capability is defined as the time required from the occurrence of a load short circuit to the destruction of the element.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for improving the short-circuit tolerance of an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) that is a typical power device.
- an emitter layer serving as an on-current path includes a high-resistance emitter layer (high-resistance region) and a low-resistance emitter layer (low-resistance region) between the emitter electrode and the channel region.
- the structure is arranged alternately so as to be connected in parallel. According to this configuration, when a load short circuit occurs, the voltage drop due to the electron current flowing through the emitter layer increases, and the saturation current value decreases, so that the short circuit tolerance is improved. Furthermore, since the low resistance region reduces the contact resistance between the emitter electrode and the emitter layer, a low on-voltage is also realized.
- the resistance value of the entire emitter layer is governed by the resistance value of the low resistance region. Therefore, the voltage drop from the channel region to the emitter electrode is not so large, and there may be a case where the effect of reducing the saturation current cannot be obtained sufficiently. Furthermore, since the emitter electrode is connected not only to the low resistance region but also to the high resistance region, the effective contact resistance is higher than that of the low resistance region alone.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can increase the voltage drop from the channel region to the source electrode to improve the short-circuit resistance, and the source electrode, the source region,
- An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device that can maintain a low contact resistance.
- the semiconductor device is selective to a semiconductor substrate (1a), a first conductivity type drift layer (2) formed on the semiconductor substrate (1a), and a surface layer portion of the drift layer (2).
- a second conductivity type well region (20) formed in the well region (20), a first conductivity type source region (12) formed in a surface layer in the well region (20), and the well region (20) A channel region that is a portion of the well region (20) sandwiched between the source region (12) and the JFET region (11), a JFET region (11) that is a portion of the drift layer (2)
- the region (12) includes a source contact region (12a) connected to the source electrode (41), a source extension region (12b) adjacent to the channel region, the source extension
- the semiconductor device has a structure in which the source resistance control region is inserted in series between the channel region and the source electrode, so that the voltage drop in the source region can be adjusted when the load of the semiconductor device is short-circuited.
- the voltage drop is increased, the saturation current value of the semiconductor device is lowered and the short-circuit resistance is improved.
- the source resistance control region is not formed in the connection portion of the source region with the source electrode and the low resistance source contact layer is formed, the contact resistance between the source electrode and the source region can be kept low. Further, the length of the source resistance control region can be accurately defined by disposing the source resistance control region between the low resistance source contact region and the source extension region.

- the source resistance control region 15a has a sufficiently small impurity concentration and a small thickness with respect to the source contact region 12a and the source extension region 12b.

It may be. It is important for reducing the on-resistance of the MOSFET that the ohmic electrode 40 has a sufficiently low ohmic contact resistance with respect to the source contact region 12a of the first conductivity type. On the other hand, that the ohmic electrode 40 has a sufficiently low ohmic contact resistance with respect to the second conductivity type well contact region 25 is that the well region 20 is fixed to the ground potential or the forward characteristics of the body diode built in the MOSFET. It is preferable from the viewpoint of improvement.

- the high impurity concentration well region 22 narrower than the well region 20 may be formed.
- FIG. 17 shows the structure of the MOSFET when the high impurity concentration well region 22 is provided.
- the high impurity concentration well region 22 can increase the impurity concentration of the second conductivity type of the well region 20 to reduce the sheet resistance, thereby reducing the switching loss due to the delay of charge transport during the switching operation of the MOSFET. In addition, reliability can be improved.
- the impurity concentration distribution of the second conductivity type in the high impurity concentration well region 22 is desirably low concentration at a shallow position of the drift layer 2 and high concentration at a deep position. By doing so, it is possible to increase the impurity concentration of the second conductivity type in the well region 20 while suppressing the influence on the effective impurity concentration in the source resistance control region 15a where the impurity concentration of the first conductivity type is low.
- the depth of the high impurity concentration well region 22 may be deeper than the well region 20, the same depth, or a shallow depth.
- a MOSFET is shown as an example of a semiconductor device to which the present invention is applied.
- a second conductivity type semiconductor substrate is used instead of the first conductivity type semiconductor substrate 1a.
- the present invention can also be applied to an IGBT using 1b.
- the source region 12 is an “emitter region”
- the well region 20 is a “base region”
- the semiconductor substrate 1 b is a “collector region”.
- the emitter resistance can be increased, so that the emitter region (source region 12), base region (well)
- the current gain in the parasitic transistor composed of the region 20) and the drift layer 2 can be reduced, and as a result, the effect of preventing the latch-up caused by the operation of the IGBT parasitic thyristor can be obtained.
- the effective source resistance can be changed by changing the impurity concentration of the source resistance control region 15a.
- the drain saturation current that affects the magnitude of the short-circuit tolerance is proportional to the square of the gate / source voltage applied to the channel, but in the presence of significant source resistance as in the present invention, the effective gate / The source-to-source voltage is reduced by the product of the source resistance and the drain current. Therefore, if the source resistance is increased, the saturation current is reduced and the short-circuit tolerance can be increased.
- the impurity concentration of the first conductivity type in the source region is substantially uniform in the lateral direction as in the conventional MOSFET, when the source resistance is increased, the contact resistance between the source region and the source pad (ohmic electrode) is increased. As a result, the loss of the device further increases.
- the ohmic electrode 40 connected to the source pad 41 contacts only the low resistance source contact region 12a and does not contact the high resistance source resistance control region 15. Therefore, the contact resistance between the ohmic electrode 40 and the source region 12 is kept low. Therefore, the source resistance can be designed so that the saturation current is reduced while suppressing an excessive increase in the on-resistance.
- the mobility of conduction carriers (electrons or holes) in the source resistance control region 15a is strongly influenced by lattice scattering and becomes lower as the temperature increases. That is, the electrical resistance increases as the temperature increases. Since the source resistance control region 15a has a lower impurity concentration of the first conductivity type than the source contact region 12a and the source extension region 12b, the rate of increase in electrical resistance at a high temperature is higher than those.
- the present inventors have confirmed that when the element is short-circuited, the temperature increases to 1000 K immediately before the breakdown due to the heat generated by the high drain current (Joule heat).
- the resistance of the source resistance control region 15a increases as the temperature increases. Negative feedback functions to reduce the drain current by decreasing the effective gate voltage applied to the channel region. Therefore, the time until the temperature rises to about 1000 K can be extended, and the short circuit resistance can be greatly improved.
- the source extension region 12b has the same impurity concentration distribution of the first conductivity type as the source contact region 12a and has a low sheet resistance.
- the end portion on the source side of the channel region has a gate insulating film 30 and a gate electrode 35 immediately above the end portion, and the end portion is disposed on the inner side of the end portion of the gate electrode 35. The overlap is necessary to reduce the connecting resistance with the channel region.
- implantation and activation annealing of the formation of the source region are performed after the formation of the gate electrode, which is widely applied in the manufacture of semiconductor devices using conventional silicon. Since the self-aligned process to be performed cannot be applied, the source region and the gate electrode are installed with a sufficient margin for misalignment in the photoengraving process at the time of patterning the source region and the gate electrode. Therefore, in the source region, the region overlapping the gate electrode has a low resistance because carriers are accumulated at the MOS interface during the ON operation, but in the region not overlapping with the gate electrode, the sheet resistance itself affects the source resistance. Effect.
- the region length that does not overlap with the gate electrode contributes to the magnitude of the saturation current.
- the source resistance may vary in the unit cell 10 (the path length is shortened when the overlap amount is large, the source resistance is decreased, and the path length is decreased when the overlap amount is small). Becomes longer and the source resistance increases). This causes an unbalance in the unit cell 10 of the saturation current value, which is not preferable.
- the source extension region 12b that overlaps the gate electrode 35 is set to have a low sheet resistance to such an extent that it has little effect on effective gate voltage reduction. Further, the source resistance control region 15 a does not overlap with the gate electrode 35.
- the path length of the source resistance control region 15a that is, the distance between the source contact region 12a and the source extension region 12b is determined by one photolithography process (FIGS. 10 and 15) and does not depend on the alignment accuracy. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the unbalance in the unit cell 10 of the saturation current from occurring.

- the element A has a source resistance control region 15a, has a channel length of 0.4 ⁇ m, a threshold voltage of 2.5 V, and an on-resistance of 16 m ⁇ cm 2 .
- the element B does not have the source resistance control region 15a, but has a channel length of 0.4 ⁇ m which is the same as the element A. Since the element B has the same channel structure as the element A, the threshold voltage is 2.3 V, which is the same as that of the element A.
- the element C does not have the source resistance control region 15a, but has a longer channel length so that the on-resistance is equal to that of the element A. Specifically, the channel length of the element C is 0.8 ⁇ m, and the on-resistance is 15 m ⁇ cm 2 .
- the element A has a higher on-resistance than the element B by the amount of having the source resistance control region 15a. Further, it can be seen from the experimental results of FIG. 19 that the element A has better drain current saturation characteristics. This is because the saturation characteristic is degraded in the element B due to the short channel effect, whereas in the element A, the effective gate voltage is decreased due to the voltage drop in the source resistance control region 15a, so that the saturation due to the short channel effect occurs. This is considered to be because the deterioration of characteristics is suppressed.
- MOSFETs have the effect of improving MOS channel characteristics (increasing channel mobility) due to heat generation during high bias.
- MOSFETs have the effect of improving MOS channel characteristics (increasing channel mobility) due to heat generation during high bias.
- the drain current at the time of high bias increases due to the effect.
- the effective gate voltage decreases due to the voltage drop in the source resistance control region 15a, and the effect is offset. Since the increase is suppressed, it is considered that a saturation characteristic superior to that of the element C can be obtained.
- the semiconductor element having the source resistance control region 15a has excellent saturation characteristics. This means an improvement in the short-circuit resistance, and one effect of the present invention appears.
- the source region 12 has the source contact region 12a in contact with the ohmic electrode 40 connected to the source pad 41, and the source extension region 12b adjacent to the channel region. Since the source resistance control region 15a between them is connected in series, the saturation current can be controlled by the source resistance corresponding to the sheet resistance of the source resistance control region 15a.
- the source extension region 12b and the source contact region 12a are formed at the same time and the effective impurity concentration distributions of the first conductivity type are the same, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost by reducing the number of process steps and to form fine patterning.

As a result, the reliability with respect to element destruction accompanied by heat generation such as when a load is short-circuited is improved.
- the impurity concentration of the first conductivity type in the source resistance control region 15a is made one digit or less smaller than the first conductivity type impurity concentration of the source extension region 12b or the source contact region 12a (1/10 or less). ) By increasing the sheet resistance of the source resistance control region 15a, a significant source resistance can be given to the on-resistance of the semiconductor device, and the effects of reducing the saturation current and increasing the short-circuit resistance can be achieved.
- the sheet of the source resistance control region 15a Even if the depth of the first conductivity type impurity concentration in the source resistance control region 15a is shallower than the first conductivity type impurity concentration of the source extension region 12b or the source contact region 12a, the sheet of the source resistance control region 15a The resistance is increased, a significant source resistance can be given to the on-resistance of the semiconductor device, and the same effect can be obtained.

Therefore, the impurity concentration of the formed source resistance control region 15a is not constant in the lateral direction, but has a distribution that continuously decreases toward the center.
- the thickness of the implantation mask 101c and the impurity implantation conditions are set so that the central portion of the formed source resistance control region 15a effectively exhibits the first conductivity type.

- FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a result of numerical calculation of the impurity concentration distribution of the first conductivity type in the source region 12 formed in the silicon carbide semiconductor by the above method. This numerical calculation is based on the assumption that nitrogen is implanted at 110 keV using an implantation mask having a width of 0.2 ⁇ m.
- FIG. 26 shows a nitrogen concentration distribution in the horizontal direction at a depth of 0.19 ⁇ m. The nitrogen concentration in the region corresponding to the source contact region 12a and the source extension region 12b is about 2 ⁇ 10 19 cm ⁇ 3 , whereas the nitrogen concentration in the region corresponding to the source resistance control region 15a is lower than that. The minimum value is about 1 ⁇ 10 17 cm ⁇ 3 .
- the process of individually forming the source resistance control region 15a can be omitted, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified.

Further, the portions of the source region 12 that are not etched on both sides are maintained at a low resistance, and thus function as the source contact region 12a and the source extension region 12b.
- the source region 12 including the source contact region 12a, the source extension region 12b, and the source resistance control region 15a is formed by performing the ion implantation process only once. Further, according to this method, the resistance value of the source resistance control region 15 a can be controlled by the width and depth of the recess 26.

- the second conductivity type impurity may be additionally implanted.
- the trench 110 is formed so as to penetrate the source region 12 and the well region 20 and reach the drift layer 2 below the well region 20. Since the source region 12 has a structure in which the source contact region 12 a, the source resistance control region 15 a, and the source extension region 12 b are stacked in the depth direction, all of them reach the side wall of the trench 110. As in the fourth embodiment, the channel region of the MOSFET is a portion of the well region 20 sandwiched between the drift layer 2 and the source extension region 12b below the well region 20 and adjacent to the trench 110.
