Description

半導体装置
 本発明は、1チップ上にスイッチング素子とその動作温度を測定する温度センスダイオードとを備えた半導体装置に関する。
 IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)やMOSFET(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)等のパワーチップ(半導体装置)を搭載したパワーモジュールは、電流を高速で通電/遮断するスイッチング動作を行うスイッチング装置として用いられている。
 スイッチング動作を続けると、スイッチング装置に流れる電流とスイッチング装置に印加される電圧との積分による電力損失がパワーチップにて発熱として発生する。パワーチップの温度が動作保証範囲を超えてしまうと、パワーチップに不具合が生じる可能性がある。
 従来、パワーチップの温度が動作保証範囲を超えないようにするために、パワーチップの表面温度をモニタする温度センスダイオードを備えたパワーチップが用いられている(例えば、特許文献1~3参照)。
特開2007-287919号公報 特開平8-213441号公報 特開平10-116987号公報
 ダイオードの順電圧VFは、温度の上昇に応じて低下するため、温度センスダイオードの順電圧VFの値を温度に換算することによってパワーチップの温度検出を行うことができる。
 従来、温度センスダイオードの順電圧VFを温度に換算する処理は、パワーモジュール内にパワーチップとは別に設けられ当該パワーチップに接続された制御回路が行っていた。パワーチップと制御回路とを接続する際は、パワーチップ内の温度センスダイオードのカソード電極(端子)と、パワーチップ内のスイッチング素子の主電極(例えば、スイッチング素子がIGBTの場合はエミッタ電極)とを、制御回路内や中継端子で接続していた。すなわち、温度センスダイオードのカソード電極パッドとスイッチング素子の主電極パッドとがパワーチップ内で分離して設けられており、両電極パッドを短絡させる場合は各電極パッドからパワーチップ外に設けられた中継端子に配線を施す必要があり、組み立て性が悪いという問題があった。
 本発明は、これらの問題を解決するためになされたものであり、組み立て性の向上および小型化が可能な半導体装置を提供することを目的とする。
 上記の課題を解決するために、本発明による半導体装置は、半導体基板に形成されたスイッチング素子と、半導体基板に形成された温度センスダイオードと、半導体基板上に配設されたスイッチング素子の主電流電極パッドと、半導体基板上に配設され、温度センスダイオードの一方電極と主電流電極パッドとを電気的に接続する導電膜とを備える。
 本発明によると、半導体基板に形成されたスイッチング素子と、半導体基板に形成された温度センスダイオードと、半導体基板上に配設されたスイッチング素子の主電流電極パッドと、半導体基板上に配設され、温度センスダイオードの一方電極と主電流電極パッドとを電気的に接続する導電膜とを備えるため、組み立て性の向上および小型化が可能となる。
 この発明の目的、特徴、態様、および利点は、以下の詳細な説明と添付図面とによって、より明白となる。

 本発明の実施の形態について、図面に基づいて以下に説明する。
 なお、本実施の形態において、半導体装置の基板(半導体基板)上に形成されるスイッチング素子はIGBTであるものとして説明する。
 <前提技術>
 まず、本発明の前提となる技術(前提技術)について説明する。
 図7は、前提技術による半導体装置1(パワーチップ)の構成の一例を示す平面図である。
 半導体装置1は、基板上にエミッタ電極パッド6(主電流電極パッド)、ゲート電極パッド7、およびトレンチ8を設けてIGBT(スイッチング素子)を形成している。また、半導体装置1は、基板上に温度センスダイオード2を形成している。
 温度センスダイオード2のカソード電極2aは、カソード配線4aを介してカソード電極パッド3に接続されている。また、温度センスダイオード2のアノード電極2bは、アノード配線4bを介してアノード電極パッド5に接続されている。
 カソード電極パッド3、アノード電極パッド5、およびゲート電極パッド7の各々は、中継端子接続用配線10を介して中継端子9aに接続されている。中継端子9aは、半導体装置1と図示しない制御回路とを含むパワーモジュールに備えられた端子部9の中の一要素である。なお、中継端子接続用配線10は、例えばアルミニウムワイヤであってもよく、他の金属ワイヤであってもよい。
 なお、図示していないが、制御回路から引き出された配線も必要に応じて中継端子9aに接続されているものとする。
 図8は、図7のA-A断面の一例を示す断面図である。なお、図8においては、説明を簡単にするために、説明に必要な主な構成要素のみを簡略化して図示している。
 N層11およびP層12からなるSi基板13(半導体基板)上には、絶縁膜14を介してカソード電極パッド3およびエミッタ電極パッド6が形成されている。
 Si基板13のエミッタ電極パッド6下には、IGBTの各セルのゲート電極を形成するためのトレンチ8が形成されている。なお、トレンチ8のピッチは、図7と図8とでは一致していない。
 ドープドポリシリコン15およびゲートメタル配線16は、積層して形成されており、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6との間に離間して設けられている。また、ドープドポリシリコン15およびゲートメタル配線16はゲート配線部17を構成し、ゲート配線部17はゲート電極パッド7に接続されている。
 保護膜18は、絶縁膜14、ゲートメタル配線16、一部のカソード電極パッド3、および一部のエミッタ電極パッド6を覆うように形成されている。
 なお、図8の断面図には表われていないが、温度センスダイオード2もSi基板13上に形成されている。
 上記のように、前提技術による半導体装置1では、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とが絶縁されている(電気的に接続されていない)。しかしながら、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを短絡して使用する場合があり、その場合はカソード電極パッド3およびエミッタ電極パッド6から中継端子接続用配線10を引き出し、中継端子9aにて各電極パッドから引き出された中継端子接続用配線10を接続することによってカソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを短絡させる必要がある。従って、半導体装置1の組み立て性が悪くなるという問題があった。
 本発明は、上記の問題を解決するためになされたものであり、以下に詳細に説明する。
 <実施の形態1>
 図1は、本発明の実施の形態1による半導体装置1の構成の一例を示す平面図である。また、図2は、図1のA-A断面の一例を示す断面図である。
 図2に示すように、本実施の形態1による半導体装置1は、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを電気的に接続する導電性のカソード・エミッタ接続用配線19(導電膜)を設けることを特徴としている。その他の構成は、図7に示す前提技術による半導体装置1と同様であるため、ここでは説明を省略する。
 カソード・エミッタ接続用配線19は、保護膜18を覆うように、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを接続(短絡)するように設けられている。すなわち、カソード・エミッタ接続用配線19は、Si基板13上に配設され、温度センスダイオード2のカソード電極2a(一方電極)に接続されたカソード電極パッド3(一方電極パッド)と、エミッタ電極パッド6(主電流電極パッド)とを電気的に接続する。
 なお、カソード・エミッタ接続用配線19は、例えばアルミニウム膜で形成されてもよく、他の導電性の金属膜で形成されてもよい。
 カソード・エミッタ接続用配線19を設けることによって、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とが同電位となる。従って、図1に示すように、カソード電極パッド3と中継端子9aとを接続する中継端子接続用配線10が不要になる。
 図3は、図1のB-B断面の一例を示す断面図である。
 図3に示すように、ゲート電極パッド7は、ゲートメタル配線16と直接接続されている。
 また、トレンチ8にはドープドポリシリコン15が充填されており、ドープドポリシリコン15はゲートメタル配線16に接続されている(すなわち、トレンチゲートを構成している)。
 以上のことから、本実施の形態1によれば、半導体装置1の内部でカソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを短絡することができる。従って、カソード電極パッド3と中継端子9aとを接続する中継端子接続用配線10が不要になるため、半導体装置1の組み立て性の向上および小型化が可能となる。
 また、Si基板13が両面はんだ付け対応(Si基板13の表面および裏面に対してはんだ付け可能)である場合において、エミッタ電極パッド6上にはんだと接合可能な金属膜(Front Metal:FM)を形成する際に、当該金属膜をカソード・エミッタ接続用配線19として形成してもよい。このようにすることによって、金属膜(FM)とカソード・エミッタ接続用配線19とを同時に(同一工程で)形成することができるため、新たな工程を追加することなくカソード・エミッタ接続用配線19を形成することができる。
 <実施の形態2>
 図4は、本発明の実施の形態2による半導体装置1の構成の一例を示す断面図であり、図1のA-A断面の一例を示している。
 図4に示すように、本実施の形態2による半導体装置1は、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とが同一の層で接続して形成されており、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6と交差する部分におけるゲート配線部17では、ゲートメタル配線16(制御電極配線)が分断して形成されていることを特徴としている。すなわち、ゲートメタル配線16の分断部分では、ドープドポリシリコン15が連続して形成されている。このような構成とすることによって、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを電気的に接続する導電膜は、ゲートメタル配線16と同一工程で形成することができる。その他の構成は、実施の形態1(図1~3を参照)と同様であるため、ここでは説明を省略する。
 以上のことから、本実施の形態2によれば、実施の形態1による効果に加えて、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを電気的に接続する導電膜を同一工程で形成するため、新たな製造工程を追加することなくカソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを短絡させることができる。
 また、図5において、カソード・エミッタ接続部20を図4に示すような構成とすることによって、カソード配線4aとカソード電極パッド3およびエミッタ電極パッド6とを直接的に接続するようにしてもよい。すなわち、カソード電極パッド3とエミッタ電極パッド6とを電気的に接続する導電膜は、図1に示すような温度センスダイオード2のカソード電極パッド3を介することなく、温度センスダイオード2のカソード電極2aとエミッタ電極パッド6とを電気的に接続する。ここで、カソード・エミッタ接続部20は、カソード配線4aとエミッタ電極パッド6とが接続されている部分を示す。このような構成とすることによって、カソード電極パッド3を省略することができ、半導体装置1における有効面積を拡大することができる。
 また、図5のような構成とするときは、図6に示すように、温度センスダイオード2のアノード電極パッド5(他方電極パッド)を半導体基板上の周縁部に配設し、温度センスダイオード2を半導体基板上の中央部に形成するようにしても上記と同様の効果が得られる。なお、アノード電極パッド5の位置は任意に変更してもよい。これにより、設計の自由度が向上する。
 なお、本発明は、その発明の範囲内において、実施の形態を適宜、変形、省略することが可能である。
 この発明は詳細に説明されたが、上記した説明は、すべての態様において、例示であって、この発明がそれに限定されるものではない。例示されていない無数の変形例が、この発明の範囲から外れることなく想定され得るものと解される。
