Description

绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法
【技术领域】
本发明涉及半导体设计及制造技术领域,特别涉及一种绝缘栅双极晶体管( Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor ,简称 IGBT )的制造方法。
【背景技术】
IGBT是由BJT(Bipolar Junction Transistor,双极结型晶体管)和MOSFET(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor-Field-Effect-Transistor,金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管)组成的复合全控型电压驱动式功率半导体器件,兼有MOSFET的高输入阻抗和BJT的低导通压降两方面的优点,具有工作频率高,控制电路简单,电流密度高,通态压低等特点,广泛应用于功率控制领域。
现有技术中,针对场终止(FS)结构绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法,一般是在硅片正面工艺全部完成后(即正面工艺加工至完成正面金属电极后),再将硅片从背面减薄,之后在硅片背面进行P型杂质的离子注入;然后,激活所注入的P型杂质离子并修复离子注入损伤,从而在硅片背面得到P+型集电极区。一般采用高温退火工艺激活注入的P型杂质离子,由于受硅片正面金属电极熔点的限制,无法实现P型杂质离子的高激活率,以致影响IGBT的性能。
为此,又有一种改进方案,将高温退火工艺改为激光退火(Laser annealing)工艺,其可实现仅在硅片背面一定厚度的区域内实现高温,不影响硅片正面,从而实现P型杂质离子的高效率激活。但是,激光退火工艺需要使用特殊的专用设备,成本较高。
【发明内容】
基于此,有必要针对传统的绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法成本较高的问题,提供一种无需采用成本较高的激光退火工艺,也可以实现掺入晶圆的反面的第二导电类型杂质的高效率激活的绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法。

在其中一个实施例中,在形成有绝缘栅型晶体管单元的晶圆的正面上形成保护层时,所述制造方法还包括:同时还在所述晶圆的反面上也形成保护层,其中所述保护层包括先后形成的氮化硅保护层和二氧化硅保护层。
在其中一个实施例中,在所述晶圆的反面侧注入第二导电类型杂质离子前,所述制造方法还包括:在所述晶圆的正面的二氧化硅保护层上形成一层光胶保护层;去除所述晶圆的反面上的二氧化硅保护层;去除所述光胶保护层;去除所述晶圆的反面上的氮化硅保护层;刻蚀去除所述晶圆的反面上的多晶硅层,该多晶硅层是在所述晶圆的正面上形成所述绝缘栅型晶体管单元的多晶硅栅极时同时形成的。
在其中一个实施例中,所述制造方法还包括:采用湿法刻蚀去除所述晶圆的反面上的二氧化硅保护层,采用氮化硅全剥技术去除所述晶圆的反面上的氮化硅保护层。
与现有技术相比,根据上述绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法,在形成晶圆的正面的第一主电极之前,利用开孔步骤之后的孔注入激活热过程对掺入所述晶圆的反面的第二导电类型杂质离子进行退火,此种激活方式不受金属熔点低的限制,可以实现所述第二导电类型杂质离子的高效率激活,从而更好的实现绝缘栅双极晶体管的加工。

步骤110,提供具有正面和反面的晶圆,其中所述晶圆包括有第一导电类型的半导体衬底10,基于所述半导体衬底10在所述晶圆的正面侧形成有绝缘栅型晶体管单元,在所述晶圆的反面侧形成有场终止层11。
在一个实施例中,所述步骤110提供如图2所示的半导体晶圆,假设所述第一导电类型为N型,所述第二导电类型为P型,此时所述第一导电类型的半导体衬底为N-型的半导体衬底10。所述半导体衬底10包括与所述晶圆的正面位于同侧的第一主面1S1和与所述晶圆的反面位于同侧的第二主面1S2。
所述绝缘栅型晶体管单元为具有第一导电类型的沟道(在此为N型沟道)的MOSFET。具体的说,该N型沟道的MOSFET为DMOS(Double-diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor,双扩散MOS)结构的MOSFET,其包括:自所述N-半导体衬底10的第一主面1S1向该N-型半导体衬底10内有选择的扩散P型杂质形成的P-body区(或者称为P基区)3;自所述P-body区3的表面向该P-body区3内有选择的扩散高浓度的N型杂质形成的N+有源区(或者称为N+发射极区)4;自所述N+有源区4内侧的P-body区3表面部分向该P-body区3内扩散高浓度的P型杂质形成的P+有源区5; 在所述N-型半导体衬底10的第一主面1S1上有选择的形成的栅氧化层1,其中,所述栅氧化层1位于P-body区3的边缘部分的第一主面1S1和所述N-型半导体衬底10的未形成P-body区3的第一主面1S1上;在所述栅氧化层1的上表面上形成的多晶硅栅电极2;覆盖所述栅氧化层1和多晶硅栅电极2露出表面的介质层6(例如,BPSG等)。其中,多晶硅栅电极2正下方的P-body区3的部分称为沟道区。P+有源区5的作用为减小发射极和P-body区3连接电阻,在其他实施例中,也可以不形成P+有源区5。
可以看出,此时的绝缘栅型晶体管单元还未形成第一主电极接触孔(图12中的16)以及后续正面工艺所形成的正面结构,比如第一主电极(图13中的14)和钝化层(未示出)等。图2中的所述N型沟道的MOSFET可以采用现有工艺进行制备,在此不再赘述。在图2所示的实施例中,所述绝缘栅性晶体管为DMOS结构的MOSFET,在其他实施例中,其还可以为沟槽型MOSFET或V字形的MOSFET。
此外,由于所述栅氧化层1和多晶硅栅电极2通常都是通过炉管的方式生长的,因此在所述半导体衬底10的第一主面1S1侧形成MOSFET的栅氧化层1和多晶硅栅电极2时,也会在所述N-型半导体衬底10的第二主面1S2上依次形成氧化层21和多晶硅层22。由于所述氧化层21和多晶硅层22都不是被有意形成的,因此在后续的合适步骤中会被去除,去除所述氧化层21和多晶硅层22的工序可以根据需要调整。在一些实施例中,假如在所述半导体衬底10的第一主面1S1侧形成MOSFET的栅氧化层1和多晶硅栅电极2时,没有同时形成氧化层21和多晶硅层22,那么在这些实施例中则没有后续的去除步骤。
步骤120,在所述晶圆的正面和反面上形成保护层。
如图3所示,所述保护层包括依次形成于绝缘栅型晶体管单元的介质层6上方的氮化硅(SIN)保护层7和二氧化硅(SIO2)保护层8,其中氮化硅保护层7的厚度以能够保证介质层6和二氧化硅保护层8隔离为原则;二氧化硅保护层8的厚度以保证刻蚀背面多晶硅层22和背面离子注入时,不造成正面介质层6损伤为原则。由于所述氮化硅保护层7和二氧化硅保护层8都是通过热生长的方式形成的,因此,在所述晶圆的正面上形成氮化硅保护层7和二氧化硅保护层8的同时,还会在所述晶圆的反面上依次形成氮化硅保护层27和二氧化硅保护层28。
由于氮化硅保护层27和二氧化硅保护层28都不是被有意形成的,因此在后续的合适步骤中会被去除,去除氮化硅保护层27和二氧化硅保护层28的工序可以根据需要调整。在一些实施例中,假如在形成所述氮化硅保护层7和二氧化硅保护层8时,没有同时形成氮化硅保护层27和二氧化硅保护层28,那么在这些实施例中则没有后续的去除步骤。
步骤130,去除所述晶圆的反面上形成的保护层。
在一个实施例中,首先如图4所示,在所述正面二氧化硅保护层8表面涂布一层光刻胶保护层9;然后如图5所示,采用湿法刻蚀去除所述晶圆的反面上的二氧化硅保护层28;随后如图6所示,去除所述光胶保护层9;最后,如图7所示,采用氮化硅全剥技术去除所述晶圆的反面上的氮化硅保护层27。如上文所述,在一些实施例中,假如在形成所述氮化硅保护层7和二氧化硅保护层8时,没有同时形成氮化硅保护层27和二氧化硅保护层28,则没有该去除步骤。
步骤140,如8所示,将晶圆正反面翻转,刻蚀去除所述晶圆的背面上的多晶硅层22。如上文所示,该多晶硅层22是在所述晶圆的正面上形成所述绝缘栅型晶体管单元的多晶硅栅极2时同时形成的。在一些实施例中,假如在形成MOSFET的多晶硅栅电极2时,没有同时形成多晶硅层22,那么则没有该去除步骤。
步骤150,在所述晶圆的反面侧注入第二导电类型杂质离子12(比如P型杂质离子)。
在一个实施例中,如图9所示,在所述晶圆的反面侧进行硼离子注入,注入能量由形成于所述晶圆的反面上的氧化层21的厚度决定,以能够穿过氧化层21打入场终止层(N+层)11为原则,而注入的剂量则以能够实现导通压降和关断损耗很好的折中为原则。
步骤160,去除形成于所述晶圆正面上的保护层。
在一个实施例中,如图10,图11所示,依次去除晶圆正面的二氧化硅保护层8和氮化硅保护层7。具体的,将完成背面注入的晶圆翻转为正面向上,先通过湿法腐蚀去除二氧化硅保护层8,同时去除晶圆背面的氧化层21,然后通过SIN全剥技术去除所述氮化硅保护层7。
步骤170,如图12所示,在所述绝缘栅型晶体管单元上形成第一主电极接触孔16,并通过孔注入激活热过程对注入所述晶圆的反面侧的第二导电类型杂质离子12进行激活以形成第二导电类型半导体层13。该孔注入激活热过程指通过第一主电极接触孔16将第二导电类型杂质离子12注入晶圆,并为了激活晶圆反面侧的第二导电类型杂质离子12和从第一主电极接触孔16注入的第二导电类型杂质离子12而进行的退火过程。
在一个实施例中,通过光刻、刻蚀工艺刻对所述介质层6进行选择性刻蚀形成短接N+有源区4和所述P-body区3的第一主电极接触孔16。所述孔注入激活热过程中的注入温度和注入时间根据所述第二导电类型杂质离子激活的需要进行调整。在一个实施例中,所述注入温度为850℃,所述注入时间为30~90min。
步骤180,如图13,在形成有第一主电极接触孔16的所述绝缘栅型晶体管单元上覆盖金属层(比如,AL-Si-Cu)以形成第一主电极14,在第二导电类型半导体层13上覆盖金属层(比如,AL-Ti-Ni-Ag)以形成第二主电极15。在第一导电类型为N型,第二导电类型为P型时,第一主电极14为发射极,第二主电极15为集电极,第一主电极接触孔16为发射极接触孔,所述第二导电类型半导体层13为P+集电极层。
与现有技术相比,根据上述绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法,在形成晶圆的正面的第一主电极之前,利用开孔步骤之后的孔注入激活热过程对掺入所述晶圆的反面的第二导电类型杂质离子进行退火,此种激活方式不受金属熔点低的限制,可以实现所述第二导电类型杂质离子的高效率激活,从而更好的实现绝缘栅双极晶体管的加工。
在上文中以场终止(FS)结构的绝缘栅双极性晶体管的制造方法为例进行介绍,很显然,该制造方法还可以适用于制造非穿通型(NPT)绝缘栅双极性晶体管,其仅需要省去制造FS层11的步骤即可。
在上述实施例中,以所述第一导电类型为N型,所述第二导电类型为P型为例进行介绍,在其他改变的实施例中,也可以使得第一导电类型为P型,所述第二导电类型为N型,此时采用P-型的半导体衬底1,所述绝缘栅型晶体管为P沟道的MOSFET单元,第二主电极15为发射极,第一主电极14为集电极,具体结构和原理与上文的中IGBT相似,这里不在赘述。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本发明的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对本发明专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本发明的保护范围。因此,本发明专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
