(半導体装置の構成)
図1~図7を参照して、第1実施形態の半導体装置10の構成について説明する。
エミッタ電極21は、IGBTのエミッタを構成する電極である。エミッタ電極21は、y方向に向けて凹む収容凹部21aが形成されている。収容凹部21aは、装置側面10cに向けて開口している。
FLR部25は、半導体装置10の耐圧向上のための終端構造であり、エミッタ引き回し部24の外方に設けられている。FLR部25は、エミッタ電極21およびゲート電極22を囲む環状に形成されている。本実施形態では、FLR部25は、閉じた環状となるように形成されている。FLR部25は、外周領域12における電界を緩和し、外部イオンからの影響を抑制することによって半導体装置10の耐圧を向上させる機能を有している。
図4は、外周領域12の一部の断面構造を示している。図5は、図4の外周領域12のうちゲートフィンガー23Aおよびエミッタ引き回し部24の拡大構造を示している。図6は、図4の外周領域12のうちFLR部25の一部およびその周辺の拡大構造を示している。図7は、図4の外周領域12のうち等電位リング26の一部およびその周辺の拡大構造を示している。なお、図4~図7では、便宜上、半導体装置10の構成要素のハッチングを省略して示している。
フィールドプレート25eは、開口部39c,38c内に設けられた第1部分27と、第1部分27よりも側方に突出するとともに中間絶縁膜39と重なっている突出部28aを有する第2部分28と、を含む。本実施形態では、第1部分27および第2部分28は、個別に設けられている。第1部分27はたとえばW(タングステン)を有しており、第2部分28はたとえばAlCuを有している。第1部分27は、バリア層側開口部40c内に設けられているともいえる。突出部28aは、z方向から視て、ガードリング25a内に位置している。
バリア層40、中間絶縁膜39、および酸化膜23cのうちゲートフィンガー23Aに対応する位置にはそれぞれ、バリア層側開口部40e、開口部39e,23eが設けられている。バリア層側開口部40eはz方向においてバリア層40を貫通し、開口部39eはz方向において中間絶縁膜39を貫通し、開口部23eはz方向において酸化膜23cを貫通している。バリア層側開口部40eおよび開口部39e,23eは互いに連通している。これにより、バリア層側開口部40eおよび開口部39e,23eを介してゲート層23aが露出している。ゲート配線23bは、バリア層側開口部40eおよび開口部39e,23eに入り込んでゲート層23aに接している。つまり、これらバリア層側開口部40eおよび開口部39e,23eは、ゲート配線23bがゲート層23aに接するためのコンタクトホールを構成している。バリア層側開口部40eを構成する内側面40fと、開口部39eを構成する内側面39fとは面一となっている。
バリア層40、中間絶縁膜39、および絶縁膜38のうちエミッタ引き回し部24に対応する位置にはそれぞれ、バリア層側開口部40g、開口部39g,38gが設けられている。バリア層側開口部40gはz方向においてバリア層40を貫通し、開口部39gはz方向において中間絶縁膜39を貫通し、開口部38gはz方向において絶縁膜38を貫通している。バリア層側開口部40gおよび開口部39g,38gは互いに連通している。これにより、バリア層側開口部40gおよび開口部39g,38gを介してベース領域34Aが露出している。エミッタ引き回し部24は、バリア層側開口部40gおよび開口部39g,38gに入り込んでベース領域34Aに接している。つまり、これらバリア層側開口部40gおよび開口部39g,38gは、エミッタ引き回し部24がベース領域34Aに接するためのコンタクトホールを構成している。バリア層側開口部40gを構成する内側面40hと、開口部39gを構成する内側面39hと、開口部38gを構成する内側面38hは面一となっている。
図8~図20を参照して、第1実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法について説明する。なお、便宜上、図8~図20では、製造過程を示す半導体装置10の構成を簡略化して示している。このため、図8~図20の半導体装置10の構成要素の形状およびサイズが図1~図4の半導体装置10の構成要素の形状およびサイズと異なる場合がある。図8~図20では、セル領域11の一部と、ゲートフィンガー23Aと、FLR部25の一部とのそれぞれの製造過程を示している。また、以降では、便宜上、図7~図20を用いて、1つの半導体装置10の製造方法として説明する。ここで、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法は、1つの半導体装置10の製造に限られず、複数個の半導体装置10の製造であってもよい。
絶縁膜838を形成する工程では、まず、半導体基板830が熱酸化されることによって各トレンチ835の内面を含む半導体基板830の表面全体に酸化膜が形成される。これにより、半導体基板830の基板表面830sのうちセル領域11に絶縁膜838が形成される。絶縁膜838は、絶縁膜38に対応する絶縁膜である。セル領域11の絶縁膜838は、ゲート絶縁膜であり、各トレンチ835の内面にも形成される。また、半導体基板830の外周領域12では、基板側絶縁膜838Bの表面838Bsに絶縁膜838が積層される。
電極材料PSをエッチングする工程では、半導体基板830の基板表面830sのうちセル領域11と、外周領域12のうちゲートフィンガー23A,23Bおよびゲート電極22と、等電位リング26の内部配線26b以外の領域との電極材料PSをエッチングによって除去する。
セル領域11においては、エッチングによってバリア層840、中間絶縁膜839、および絶縁膜838をそれぞれ貫通するように開口部861が形成される。セル領域11における開口部861は、ベース領域34を露出する。この開口部861によってベース領域34に対応する半導体基板830の基板表面830sには凹部831が形成される。
ポリイミド等の有機絶縁膜であるパッシベーション膜13は、半導体装置10をたとえば外部イオンから保護するために装置主面10sの全体にわたり形成されている。つまり、パッシベーション膜13は、外周領域12を全体にわたり覆っている。しかし、パッシベーション膜13は、拡散係数が大きいため、外部イオンがパッシベーション膜13内で拡散されて通過してしまうおそれがある。
本実施形態の半導体装置10によれば、以下の効果が得られる。
(1-1)半導体装置10の外周領域12は、ドリフト層33およびガードリング25a~25dの双方を覆う絶縁膜38Aおよび中間絶縁膜39と、絶縁膜38Aおよび中間絶縁膜39を貫通してガードリング25a~25dと個別に接するフィールドプレート25e~25hと、絶縁膜38A、中間絶縁膜39、およびフィールドプレート25e~25hを覆うパッシベーション膜13と、を備えている。フィールドプレート25e~25hは、開口部38c,39c内に設けられた第1部分27と、第1部分27よりも側方に突出するとともに絶縁膜38Aおよび中間絶縁膜39と重なっている突出部28aを有する第2部分28と、を含む。半導体装置10は、パッシベーション膜13とドリフト層33との間に設けられ、絶縁膜38Aおよび中間絶縁膜39とパッシベーション膜13の双方よりも拡散係数が小さいバリア層40を備えている。バリア層40は、フィールドプレート25e~25hの突出部28aとガードリング25a~25dの間に入り込んだ部分を有している。
この構成によれば、z方向から視て、中間絶縁膜39のうちガードリング25a~25dと重なる領域において外部イオンによって帯電することを抑制できる。したがって、FLR部25の耐圧の低下を抑制できる。
この構成によれば、バリア層40を容易に製造できるため、半導体装置10の製造コストを低減できる。
図21~図25を参照して、第2実施形態の半導体装置10について説明する。本実施形態では、バリア層40の配置位置が異なる。以降の説明では、第1実施形態の半導体装置10と異なる点について詳細に説明し、第1実施形態の半導体装置10と共通の構成要素については同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
図21および図22を参照して、本実施形態の半導体装置10の構成について説明する。図21では、外周領域12のうちFLR部25の一部の断面構造を示している。図示していないが、ゲートフィンガー23A,23Bおよび等電位リング26におけるバリア層40の配置位置は、FLR部25におけるバリア層40の配置位置と同じである。なお、図21および図22では、便宜上、半導体装置10の構成要素の一部または全てのハッチングを省略して示している。
図23~図25を参照して、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法について説明する。本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法においては、第1実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法と比較して、バリア層840を形成する工程の順番が異なる。このため、以下の説明では、第1実施形態と異なる点について説明し、第1実施形態と共通する製造工程の説明を省略する。
本実施形態の半導体装置によれば、以下の効果が得られる。
(2-1)半導体装置10は、絶縁膜38,38Aと、絶縁膜38,38Aの上に形成された中間絶縁膜39と、絶縁膜38,38Aの表面38sに形成されるとともに中間絶縁膜39によって覆われたバリア層40と、中間絶縁膜39を覆うパッシベーション膜13と、を備えている。
図26~図33を参照して、第3実施形態の半導体装置10について説明する。本実施形態では、半導体基板30の基板表面30sに形成された絶縁膜の形状が異なる。以降の説明では、第1実施形態の半導体装置10と異なる点について詳細に説明し、第1実施形態の半導体装置10と共通の構成要素については同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
図26を参照して、本実施形態の半導体装置10の構成について説明する。なお、図26では、便宜上、半導体装置10の構成要素のハッチングを省略して示している。
厚膜部51は、LOCOS酸化膜50の厚さが比較的厚い部分であり、たとえばガードリング25a~25dのうち隣り合うガードリングの間に設けられている。薄膜部52は、LOCOS酸化膜50の厚さが比較的薄い部分であり、たとえばz方向から視て、ガードリング25a~25dと重なる位置に設けられている。傾斜部53は、厚膜部51と薄膜部52との間に設けられており、厚膜部51と薄膜部52とを接続する部分である。傾斜部53は、表面50sおよび裏面50rの両側において、薄膜部52から厚膜部51に向かうにつれてLOCOS酸化膜50の厚さが厚くなるように傾斜している。
薄膜部52には、薄膜部52をz方向に貫通する開口部54が形成されている。これにより、ガードリング25a~25dの一部がLOCOS酸化膜50から露出している。つまり、z方向から視たガードリング25a~25dの面積は、開口部54の面積よりも大きい。なおLOCOS酸化膜50の構成は任意に変更可能である。一例では、LOCOS酸化膜50から薄膜部52を省略してもよい。この場合、LOCOS酸化膜50は、厚膜部51および傾斜部53からなる酸化膜が互いに離間して複数設けられた構成となる。
図27~図33を参照して、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法について説明する。本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法においては、第1実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法と比較して、半導体基板830の基板表面830sに形成される絶縁膜の形成方法が異なる。このため、以下の説明では、第1実施形態と異なる点について説明し、第1実施形態と共通する製造工程の説明を省略する。また、便宜上、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法は、FLR部25の製造過程について主に説明する。
図27に示すように、まず、Siを含む材料から形成された半導体基板830を用意する。半導体基板830には、ドリフト層33が形成されている。続いて、たとえばCVDによって半導体基板830の基板表面830sの全体にわたり酸化膜851を形成する。酸化膜851は、たとえばシリコン酸化膜(SiO2膜)を有している。続いて、たとえばCVDによって酸化膜851の表面851sの全体にわたりマスク852を形成する。マスク852は、たとえばシリコン窒化膜(Si3N4膜)を有している。
図33に示すように、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法は、開口部863を形成する工程を備えている。開口部863の形成方法は、第1実施形態と同様である。これにより、LOCOS酸化膜50、絶縁膜38、中間絶縁膜39、およびバリア層40が形成される。また以降の工程も第1実施形態と同様である。なお、本実施形態の半導体装置10によれば、第1実施形態と同様の効果が得られる。
