Description
【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,IGBT)的制造方法。
【背景技术】
绝缘栅双极晶体管(Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistor,IGBT)是由双极结型晶体管 (Bipolar Junction Transistor,BJT)
和金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor-Field-Effect-Transistor,MOSFET)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。在实际应用中,IGBT很少作为一个独立器件使用,尤其在感性负载的条件下,IGBT需要一个快恢复二极管续流。因此,现有的绝缘栅双极晶体管产品,一般采用并联一个续流二极管(Freewheeling
diode,简称FWD)的方式来保护IGBT。为了降低成本,并联的续流二极管可以集成在IGBT芯片内,即该IGBT为具有内置二极管或具有反向导通功能的IGBT。
常见的反向导通的IGBT需要减薄后双面光刻制备出背面P+集电极区的注入窗口。这种方案的缺点主要有两个方面:第一、需要有减薄晶圆流通能力,特别是对于常见的1200V以下的IGBT,其厚度在200μm以下,对薄片流通工艺要求很高;第二、需要使用专门的双面曝光机对晶圆曝光。此外,现有的反向导通的IGBT通常采用背面两次光刻技术,工序复杂。
因此,有必要提供一种改进的技术方案来克服上述问题。
【发明内容】
基于此,有必要提供一种与现有的常规工艺兼容且工艺较为简单的绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法。
一种绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法,其包括:提供第一导电类型的半导体晶片,半导体晶片包括第一表面和与第一表面相对的第二表面,在半导体晶片的第一表面上进行杂质注入以形成第一导电类型或第二导电类型的导电层;在第一导电类型或第二导电类型的导电层的表面形成间隔的凹槽;在凹槽内填充第二导电类型或第一导电类型的半导体材料以形成通道,其中通道的导电类型与导电层的导电类型不同,通道和导电层间隔交错排布;在导电层和通道上形成氧化层;在氧化层上键合衬底半导体晶片;自半导体晶片的第二表面减薄半导体晶片,并将减薄后的第一导电类型的半导体晶片作为漂移区;基于漂移区形成绝缘栅双极晶体管的正面结构;去除衬底半导体晶片;去除氧化层;在通道和导电层上形成背面金属电极,该背面金属电极与通道和导电层电性连接。
在其中一个实施例中,提供的半导体晶片的厚度为200-700μm,电阻率为5-500Ω*cm。
在其中一个实施例中,在半导体晶片的第一表面上注入导电层的注入剂量为1×10-13-1×10-20cm-2,能量为30-200KEV。
在其中一个实施例中,通过光刻、蚀刻工艺在第一导电类型或第二导电类型的导电层的表面形成间隔的凹槽。
在其中一个实施例中,凹槽的深度为0.5-50μm。
在其中一个实施例中,在填充第二导电类型或第一导电类型的半导体材料后,通过高温步骤使填充的半导体材料变成单晶硅,随后通过化学机械抛光工艺平整衬底的第一表面。
在其中一个实施例中,通过热氧化或化学气相沉积方式在导电层及通道上形成氧化层,氧化层的厚度为0.01-5μm。
在其中一个实施例中,在氧化层上键合的衬底半导体晶片的厚度为50-650μm。
在其中一个实施例中,在基于漂移区形成绝缘栅双极晶体管的正面结构前,该方法还包括:
通过化学机械抛光或湿法腐蚀方式抛光减薄后的半导体晶片的第二表面。
在其中一个实施例中,衬底半导体晶片的厚度和键合形成的漂移区的厚度的和为625μm-725μm。
与相关技术相比,上述绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法,首先完成绝缘栅双极晶体管的背面的相互间隔的集电极区和通道的制作,之后在半导体晶片的第二表面上制备绝缘栅双极晶体管的正面结构,在正面结构完成后仅需要做减薄和背面金属化的步骤,对薄片流通能力没有特殊要求,更不需要双面曝光机设备,极大地降低了工艺成本。
【附图说明】
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案,下面将对实施例描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动性的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其它的附图。其中:
图1为一实施例的绝缘栅双极晶体管的制造方法的流程图;
图2至图11为图1中的各个制造工序所得到的晶圆的纵剖面示意图。
【具体实施方式】
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式做详细的说明。在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本发明。但是本发明能够以很多不同于在此描述的其它方式来实施,本领域技术人员可以在不违背本发明内涵的情况下做类似改进,因此本发明不受下面公开的具体实施的限制。
在介绍本发明中的绝缘栅双极晶体管(Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistor,IGBT)的制造方法之前,需要说明的是,IGBT的发射极和栅极所在的面通常被理解为正面,而IGBT的集电极所在的面通常被理解反面或背面。半导体晶片种类众多,常用的为硅片,在以下实施例中,将以硅片为例。
图1为一实施例的IGBT的制造方法100的流程图。如图1所示,该制造方法100包括如下步骤。
步骤110,如图2所示,提供N型硅片10,其中硅片10包括第一表面11和与第一表面11相对的第二表面12,在硅片10的第一表面11上进行杂质注入以形成N型或P型的导电层13。
具体的,所述硅片10的厚度可以为200-700μm,电阻率可以为5-500Ω*cm。如图2所示,在硅片10的第一表面11上做普注,导电层13的杂质注入剂量为1×10-13-1×10-20cm-2,能量为30-200KEV,该杂质可以为施主杂质,如磷或砷等,也可以为受主杂质,如硼或氢等。
步骤120,如图3所示,通过光刻、蚀刻工艺在N型或P型的导电层13的表面形成间隔的凹槽25。
具体的,凹槽25的深度可以为0.5-50μm。
步骤130,如图4所示,在凹槽25内填充N型或P型半导体材料以形成N型或P型通道14。
在导电层13为P型时,步骤130中形成N型通道,在导电层13为N型时,步骤130中形成P型通道,导电层13和通道14的导电类型相反。在图2-11所示出的实施例中,以导电层13为N型,通道14为P型为例进行介绍。具体的,如图3所示,在凹槽25内填充P型半导体材料(比如单晶硅、多晶硅、非晶硅),其电阻率为0.001-50Ω*cm,通过高温步骤使填充的半导体材料变成单晶硅从而得到激活后的P型通道14,随后通过化学机械抛光(CMP)工艺平整导电层13的表面。在图3中的光刻胶30可以在合适步骤中被去除。
在相关工艺中P型通道14的激活通常发生在正面金属电极形成之后,而本发明中的激活步骤都发生在金属电极形成之前,提高了掺杂区域(比如P型通道14)的激活效率。
步骤140,如图5所示,在导电层13和通道14上形成氧化层15。
具体的,注入完成后,去胶清理导电层13及通道14表面,通过热氧化或化学气相沉积(CHEMICAL VAPOR
DEPOSITION,CVD)方式在导电层13及通道14上形成一厚度为0.01-5μm的氧化层15,以起到保护导电层13及通道14的作用。
步骤150,如图6所示,翻转硅片10,在氧化层15上键合P型或N型的衬底16。衬底16的厚度与下文提到的键合漂移区的厚度相关。
具体的,采用直接键合(SDB)方式将氧化层15与N型或P型的衬底16键合,衬底16的厚度为50-650μm。
步骤160,如图7所示,自硅片10的第二表面12减薄硅片10,并将减薄后的硅片10,作为N型漂移区(N
Drift)17。
具体的,减薄形成的漂移区17的厚度与衬底16的厚度相关。衬底16的厚度和漂移区17的厚度之和为正常流通硅片厚度,比如对于6寸片的正常厚度为625μm或675μm,8寸片的正常厚度为725μm。
在减薄完成后,采用化学机械抛光 (CHEMICAL MECHANICAL POLISHING,CMP)
或湿法腐蚀方式抛光使硅片10的第二表面12光滑。
步骤170,如图8所示,基于漂移区17采用正常IGBT工艺流程形成所述IGBT的正面结构。
图8中展示了一种平面IGBT的正面结构。IGBT的正面结构包括:在漂移区17的上表面上有选择地形成的P型基区(P-body)18,在P型基区18内有选择地形成的N型发射极区19,在漂移区17的上表面上形成栅氧化层20,在栅极氧化层20上形成的多晶硅栅极21(G),形成覆盖栅极氧化层20和多晶硅栅极21的介质层22,以及形成与所述P型基区18和所述N型发射极区19电性连接的正面金属电极23(即发射极E)。
图8中只是示意性的示出了正面金属电极23,事实上,正面金属电极23可能会覆盖整个介质层22。此外,IGBT的正面结构还可能包括形成于正面金属电极23外侧的钝化层(未示出),比如二氧化硅和氮化硅。
在其他实施例中,也可以制造沟槽型IGBT,沟槽型IGBT的正面结构与图8中的IGBT的正面结构并不相同,不过现有技术中已经公开了很多沟槽型IGBT,在此不再重复描述了。需要知晓的是,从本发明的某个角度来说,本发明并不特别关心IGBT的具体正面结构,只要有正面结构并且能形成可以使用的IGBT器件即可。
本发明提出一种图8中的IGBT的正面结构的制造流程的一个示例,该流程包括:
步骤一、形成栅极氧化层,比如厚度为100Å-15000Å。
步骤二、在栅极氧化层上形成多晶硅栅极层,比如厚度为4000Å-15000Å。
步骤三、对多晶硅栅极光刻、蚀刻、离子注入、推阱以形成P基区,P型杂质注入剂量为1×10-12-1×10-15cm-2,注入能量为20KEV-1MEV;推阱温度为1000-1250℃,时间为10min-1000min。
步骤四、对N型发射区光刻、离子注入、退火以形成N型,剂量为1×10-14-1×10-16
cm-2,能量为20KEV-1MEV;退火温度为800-1000℃,时间为10min-1000min;
步骤五、形成介质层,厚度:6000Å-20000Å;
步骤六、光刻、蚀刻以形成接触孔,该接触孔与N型发射区和P型基区相通;
步骤七、淀积正面金属层,正面金属层的厚度约为2μm-6μm;
步骤八、淀积钝化层。
从另一个角度来讲,有关IGBT的正面结构的具体制造工艺也不属于本发明的重点,其可以采用现有的各种制造工艺制造而成,因此为了突出本发明的重点,有关IGBT的正面结构的具体制造工艺在本文中并未被详细描述。
步骤180,如图9所示,去除衬底16。
在一个实施例中,在IGBT的正面结构完成后,通过研磨(Grinding)工艺对衬底16进行减薄,在减薄到一定厚度后,用湿法腐蚀进一步去除衬底16,直至露出氧化层15。
步骤190,如图10所示,去除氧化层15。
在一个实施例中,在衬底16完全去除后,继续采用湿法腐蚀将氧化层15全部去除。
步骤200,如图11所示,在导电层13及通道14外侧通过溅射或蒸发的方式制得背面金属电极(集电极C)24,该背面金属电极24与通道14和导电层13电性连接。
所属领域内的普通技术人员应该能够理解的是,本发明的特点或目的之一在于:首先完成IGBT的背面的相互间隔的N型集电极区和P型通道的制作,之后在硅片10的第二表面12上制备IGBT的正面结构,在正面结构完成后仅需要做减薄和背面金属化步骤,这样对薄片流通能力没有特殊要求,更不需要双面曝光机设备。
上述实施例中的N型可以被称为第一导电类型,P型可以被称为第二导电类型。在其他实施例中,上述实施例中的所涉及的所有P型的区域(比如P基区、P型集电极区)都可以更改为N型的,所有的N型的区域(N型漂移区、N型发射极区、N型阴极区)都可以更改为P型,此时可以认为第一导电类型是P型,第二导电类型为N型。
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。
