第一掺杂区111开设有穿透第一掺杂区111和体区110并延伸至漂移区100内的沟槽,即沟槽的底端位于漂移区100内,沟槽与第二掺杂区112间隔设置。沟槽内填充有填充结构,填充结构包括形成于沟槽侧壁上的氧化层121、相互隔离的第一导电结构122和第二导电结构123,其中,沟槽的底部未形成氧化层。在同一沟槽内,第一导电结构122的延伸深度大于第二导电结构123的延伸深度,即,第一导电结构122距沟槽底部的距离小于第二导电结构123距沟槽底部的距离。具体的,氧化层121分为隔离氧化层121a和栅氧层121b,其中,位于第一导电结构122和沟槽内壁之间的氧化层为隔离氧化层121a,位于第二导电结构123和沟槽内壁之间的氧化层为栅氧层121b。具体的,第一导电结构122和第二导电结构123可为多晶硅。漂移区100内还形成有扩展区130,扩展区130位于沟槽下方并包围沟槽底部,且扩展区130具有第二导电类型,扩展区130与沟槽内的第一导电结构122接触。The first doped region 111 is provided with a trench that penetrates the first doped region 111 and the body region 110 and extends into the drift region 100, that is, the bottom end of the trench is located in the drift region 100, and the trench and the second doped region The zones 112 are arranged at intervals. The trench is filled with a filling structure. The filling structure includes an oxide layer 121 formed on the sidewall of the trench, a first conductive structure 122 and a second conductive structure 123 that are isolated from each other, wherein no oxide layer is formed at the bottom of the trench. In the same trench, the extension depth of the first conductive structure 122 is greater than the extension depth of the second conductive structure 123, that is, the distance between the first conductive structure 122 and the bottom of the trench is smaller than the distance between the second conductive structure 123 and the bottom of the trench. Specifically, the oxide layer 121 is divided into an isolation oxide layer 121a and a gate oxide layer 121b. The oxide layer located between the first conductive structure 122 and the inner wall of the trench is the isolation oxide layer 121a, which is located between the second conductive structure 123 and the trench. The oxide layer between the inner walls is the gate oxide layer 121b. Specifically, the first conductive structure 122 and the second conductive structure 123 may be polysilicon. An expansion region 130 is also formed in the drift region 100, the expansion region 130 is located below the trench and surrounds the bottom of the trench, and the expansion region 130 has the second conductivity type, and the expansion region 130 is in contact with the first conductive structure 122 in the trench.

The emitter lead-out structure 310 and the gate lead-out structure may be metal pillars, and specifically may be tungsten metal. Wherein, the emitter lead structure 310 is in contact with the first doped region 111 and the second doped region 112, and the gate lead structure is in contact with the second conductive structure 123 in the trench.
其中,第一导电类型为N型,第二导电类型为P型;或者,第一导电类型为P型,第二导电类型为N型。Wherein, the first conductivity type is N type, and the second conductivity type is P type; or, the first conductivity type is P type, and the second conductivity type is N type.
可以理解的,上述IGBT器件的正面还应当具有相互隔离的发射极金属层和栅极金属层,上述发射极引出结构310均与发射极金属层连接,上述栅极引出结构均与栅极金属层连接。可以理解的,IGBT器件还包括与体区隔离的缓冲区140和与缓冲区140接触的集电区150。It is understandable that the front side of the above-mentioned IGBT device should also have an emitter metal layer and a gate metal layer which are isolated from each other. The above-mentioned emitter extraction structures 310 are all connected to the emitter metal layer, and the above-mentioned gate extraction structures are all connected to the gate metal layer. connect. It can be understood that the IGBT device further includes a buffer region 140 isolated from the body region and a collector region 150 in contact with the buffer region 140.
上述IGBT器件,第二导电结构123与沟槽内壁之间的氧化层部分为栅氧层121b,沟槽内部的第二导电结构123和栅氧层121b构成沟槽栅结构,当栅极施加电压,在沟槽两侧的体区110内形成导通沟道,从而为漂移区100提供漂移区电流,使IGBT导通。同时,沟槽底部还形成有第一导电结构122,位于漂移区100内部的第一导电结构122与隔离氧化层121a构成内场板,可以调节漂移区100内部电场分布,使与该内场板接触的漂移区形成耗尽区,提高器件耐压水平。同时,在沟槽底部形成第一导电结构122,还能降低IGBT器件的开关电容,降低器件的导通压降。由于漂移区100内还形成有扩展区130,扩展区130包围沟槽底部且导电类型与漂移区100相反,当IGBT器件由开态转为关态时,扩展区130与漂移区100剩余载流子复合而加快开关速度。且,扩展区130与漂移区100导电类型相反,可进一步增强漂移区100的耗尽,提高器件耐压能力。同时,扩展区130还能调节漂移区电场,解决沟槽底部电场集中问题,在器件反向耐压时,可以将击穿位置从沟槽处转移至扩展区130与漂移区100的交界面,改善击穿性能。In the above-mentioned IGBT device, the oxide layer between the second conductive structure 123 and the inner wall of the trench is the gate oxide layer 121b, and the second conductive structure 123 and the gate oxide layer 121b inside the trench constitute the trench gate structure. , A conduction channel is formed in the body region 110 on both sides of the trench, so as to provide a drift region current for the drift region 100 to turn on the IGBT. At the same time, a first conductive structure 122 is also formed at the bottom of the trench. The first conductive structure 122 located in the drift region 100 and the isolation oxide layer 121a form an inner field plate, which can adjust the electric field distribution in the drift region 100 to make the inner field plate The contact drift region forms a depletion region, which improves the device withstand voltage level. At the same time, forming the first conductive structure 122 at the bottom of the trench can also reduce the switching capacitance of the IGBT device and reduce the turn-on voltage drop of the device. Since the extended region 130 is also formed in the drift region 100, the extended region 130 surrounds the bottom of the trench and the conductivity type is opposite to that of the drift region 100. When the IGBT device changes from the on state to the off state, the extended region 130 and the drift region 100 carry residual current Sub-combination speeds up the switching speed. Moreover, the conductivity type of the expansion region 130 is opposite to that of the drift region 100, which can further enhance the depletion of the drift region 100 and improve the voltage resistance of the device. At the same time, the expansion zone 130 can also adjust the electric field of the drift zone to solve the problem of electric field concentration at the bottom of the trench. When the device is reverse withstand voltage, the breakdown position can be transferred from the trench to the interface between the expansion zone 130 and the drift zone 100. Improve breakdown performance.
其中,第一导电结构122可以是不带电的浮空结构,也可以与发射极电连接,获取发射极电势。在一实施例中,如图1b所示,在元胞区域外,第一导电结构122从沟槽端部引出,即在沟槽端部,第一导电结构122延伸至沟槽顶部,并于发射极连接结构320接触,通过发射极连接结构320与发射极电连接,从而获取发射极电势。此时,由于扩展区130与第一导电结构122 接触,扩展区130也能获取一定的电势,从而增强内场板和扩展区130对电场的调节能力。在另一实施例中,第一导电结构122是浮空结构,第一导电结构122从沟槽端部引出,第一导电结构122未与发射极连接结构320接触,两者之间还具有一定厚度的层间介质层200,但是第一导电结构122可以获取到发射极的感应电势,使第一导电结构122和扩展区130带电,且由于是通过感应方式实现与发射极的电连接,因此可以切断发射极、第一导电结构和扩展区的漏电通路,避免发射极漏电。在另一实施例中,第一导电结构122是浮空结构,第一导电结构122未从沟槽内引出,且未与发射极电连接,不能获取发射极的电势,因此,第一导电结构122和扩展区130均不带电。Wherein, the first conductive structure 122 may be an uncharged floating structure, or may be electrically connected to the emitter to obtain the emitter potential. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1b, outside the cell area, the first conductive structure 122 is drawn from the end of the trench, that is, at the end of the trench, the first conductive structure 122 extends to the top of the trench and is located at the top of the trench. The emitter connection structure 320 is in contact and is electrically connected to the emitter through the emitter connection structure 320 to obtain the emitter potential. At this time, since the expansion area 130 is in contact with the first conductive structure 122, the expansion area 130 can also acquire a certain electric potential, thereby enhancing the ability of the inner field plate and the expansion area 130 to adjust the electric field. In another embodiment, the first conductive structure 122 is a floating structure, the first conductive structure 122 is drawn from the end of the trench, the first conductive structure 122 is not in contact with the emitter connection structure 320, and there is a certain amount between the two. Thickness of the interlayer dielectric layer 200, but the first conductive structure 122 can obtain the induced potential of the emitter, so that the first conductive structure 122 and the expansion region 130 are charged, and since the electrical connection with the emitter is realized by induction, The leakage path of the emitter, the first conductive structure and the expansion area can be cut off, and the leakage of the emitter can be avoided.
