Description

绝缘栅双极型晶体管装置及其制备方法Insulated gate bipolar transistor device and method of making the same 技术领域technical field
本公开内容涉及半导体的技术领域,特别地,本公开内容涉及沟槽型绝缘栅双极型晶体管装置及其制备方法。The present disclosure relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and in particular, the present disclosure relates to trench-type insulated gate bipolar transistor devices and methods of fabricating the same.
背景技术Background technique
绝缘栅双极型晶体管(IGBT)是由双极型三极管(BJT)和金属氧化物半导体场效应管(MOSFET)组成的电压驱动型功率半导体器件,其兼有MOSFET的高输入阻抗和BJT的低导通电压两方面的优点,被广泛地应用于轨道交通、智能电网、航空航天、电动汽车、新能源设备等领域。An insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a voltage-driven power semiconductor device composed of a bipolar transistor (BJT) and a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The advantages of the two aspects of the on-voltage are widely used in rail transit, smart grid, aerospace, electric vehicles, new energy equipment and other fields.
目前,针对IGBT的研究的目的主要在于提高IGBT的功率密度和开关速度以及降低IGBT的功耗。为此,现有技术中提出了一种沟槽型IGBT装置,其通过将栅极从水平方向调整为垂直方向而将IGBT中的电流沟道方向从器件表面的横向方向转换为器件体内的垂直方向,使得能够消除IGBT中的结型场效应晶体管(JFET)效应,同时能够增加沟道密度和近表面载流子浓度,进而可以在不增加关断损耗的情况下极大地降低集电极发射极(源极)导通电压(Vceon)。At present, the main purpose of research on IGBT is to improve the power density and switching speed of IGBT and reduce the power consumption of IGBT. To this end, a trench-type IGBT device is proposed in the prior art, which converts the current channel direction in the IGBT from the lateral direction of the device surface to the vertical direction in the device body by adjusting the gate from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction direction, enabling the elimination of the junction field effect transistor (JFET) effect in the IGBT while increasing the channel density and near-surface carrier concentration, which in turn can greatly reduce collector-emitter without increasing turn-off losses (Source) turn-on voltage (Vceon).
然而,对于沟槽型IGBT,高沟道密度以及随之带来的低导通电压Vceon会提高饱和电流,因而可能对IGBT的短路性能造成不利影响。因此,通常需要在进行版图设计时采用伪栅和/或伪阱的伪区(dummy area)以平衡短路电流和导通损耗之间的折衷关系。然而,这会增加版图设计的复杂度并且增加制造成本。However, for trench IGBTs, the high channel density and consequent low on-voltage Vceon increases the saturation current, which may adversely affect the short-circuit performance of the IGBT. Therefore, dummy areas of dummy gates and/or dummy wells are usually required to balance the trade-off relationship between short-circuit current and conduction loss during layout design. However, this increases layout complexity and increases manufacturing costs.

In addition, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the n+ type buffer layer 2 may function as an electric field stop layer for generating electrons that recombine with holes injected from the p+ type collector layer 1 when the IGBT is turned off, thereby improving the turn-off speed.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the p-type channel layer 5 is formed on the n-type carrier blocking layer 6 , and the n+ type source region 7 is formed on the p-type channel layer 5 .
根据本公开内容的实施方式,n-型载流子阻挡层6在垂直方向上的深度小于垂直沟槽4的深度。换言之,在垂直方向上,n-型载流子阻挡层6的下表面可以高于沟槽4的下表面。According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the depth of the n-type carrier blocking layer 6 in the vertical direction is smaller than the depth of the vertical trench 4 . In other words, the lower surface of the n-type carrier blocking layer 6 may be higher than the lower surface of the trench 4 in the vertical direction.
根据本公开内容的实施方式,p+型接触区8的基本结构是通过在刻蚀沟槽之后进行离子注入形成的。通过刻蚀沟槽之后进行离子注入的方式,p+型接触区8的形成不需要使用额外的掩模,同时深沟槽的p+接触区8能够有效地提高沟槽型IGBT装置的抗闩锁能力。According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the basic structure of the p+ type contact region 8 is formed by ion implantation after etching the trench. By performing ion implantation after etching the trench, the formation of the p+ contact region 8 does not require an additional mask, and the deep trench p+ contact region 8 can effectively improve the latch-up resistance of the trench IGBT device .
根据本公开内容的实施方式,p+型接触区8还可以通过例如离子注入工艺在n+型源极区7中形成。可以通过离子注入能量来控制p+型接触区8的注入深度,换言之,p+型接触区8的注入深度越大,则所需的离子注 入能量越大。本领域技术人员应认识到,p+型接触区8的注入深度不应超过p-型沟道层5的深度。According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the p+ type contact region 8 may also be formed in the n+ type source region 7 by, for example, an ion implantation process. The implantation depth of the p+-type contact region 8 can be controlled by the ion implantation energy, in other words, the larger the implantation depth of the p+-type contact region 8, the larger the required ion implantation energy. Those skilled in the art will realize that the implantation depth of the p+-type contact region 8 should not exceed the depth of the p-type channel layer 5 .
根据本公开内容的实施方式,p+型接触区8在垂直方向上的深度可以大于n+型源极区7的深度。换言之,在垂直方向上,p+型接触区8的下表面可以低于n+型源极区7的下表面,但是不低于p-型沟道层5的下表面。According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the depth of the p+ type contact region 8 in the vertical direction may be greater than that of the n+ type source region 7 . In other words, in the vertical direction, the lower surface of the p+ type contact region 8 may be lower than the lower surface of the n+ type source region 7 , but not lower than the lower surface of the p− type channel layer 5 .
根据本公开内容的上述实施方式形成的IGBT结构可被称为载流子存储沟槽型IGBT,其中在p-型沟道层5下方形成的n-型载流子阻挡层6可以用于存储载流子。在传统的沟槽型IGBT装置中,空穴密度随着距源极(发射极)的距离减小而减小。然而,在根据本公开内容的上述实施方式形成的沟槽型IGBT装置中,即使在源极侧仍可以保持高的空穴密度,这样可以减小导通电压(即Vceon)而不增加关断损耗。The IGBT structure formed according to the above-described embodiment of the present disclosure may be referred to as a carrier storage trench IGBT, in which the n-type carrier blocking layer 6 formed under the p-type channel layer 5 may be used for storage carrier. In conventional trench IGBT devices, the hole density decreases as the distance from the source (emitter) decreases. However, in the trench IGBT devices formed according to the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure, a high hole density can be maintained even on the source side, which can reduce the on-voltage (ie, Vceon) without increasing the turn-off loss.
此外,在根据本公开内容的上述实施方式形成的IGBT结构中,由于n+型源极区7和p+型接触区8的版图设置,还可以极大地消除由n+型源极区7、p-型沟道层5、n-型半导体衬底3和p+型集电极层1形成的寄生NPNP晶闸管的闩锁(latch-up)效应。In addition, in the IGBT structure formed according to the above-described embodiment of the present disclosure, due to the layout arrangement of the n+ type source region 7 and the p+ type contact region 8, it is also possible to greatly eliminate the formation of the n+ type source region 7, p-type The latch-up effect of the parasitic NPNP thyristor formed by the channel layer 5 , the n- type semiconductor substrate 3 and the p+ type collector layer 1 .
此外,如图1A中所示,具有不同的p+型接触区8的宽度的第一元胞10A和第二元胞10B沿第一方向DR1交替设置。在第一元胞10A和第二元胞10B中分别形成沟槽型IGBT器件。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1A , the first cells 10A and the second cells 10B having different widths of the p+ type contact regions 8 are alternately arranged along the first direction DR1 . Trench-type IGBT devices are formed in the first cell 10A and the second cell 10B, respectively.
如上文所述,第二元胞10B中的P+接触区8的第二宽度WC2可以大于第一元胞10A中的P+接触区8的第一宽度WC1。也就是说,在第二元胞10B中,通过离子注入工艺形成的p+型接触区8与沟槽4的侧壁之间的距离在约0.1μm至约0.5μm的范围内,使得第二元胞10B中的IGBT器件的沟道掺杂浓度大于10 18cm -3,因此第二元胞10B中的IGBT器件是常断的。相反,在第一元胞10A中,p+型接触区8与沟槽4的侧壁之间的距离大于约1.0μm,使得第一元胞10A中的沟槽型IGBT器件能够正常操作。 As described above, the second width WC2 of the P+ contact region 8 in the second cell 10B may be greater than the first width WC1 of the P+ contact region 8 in the first cell 10A. That is, in the second cell 10B, the distance between the p+ type contact region 8 formed by the ion implantation process and the sidewall of the trench 4 is in the range of about 0.1 μm to about 0.5 μm, so that the second cell 10B The channel doping concentration of the IGBT device in the cell 10B is greater than 10 18 cm -3 , so the IGBT device in the second cell 10B is normally off. In contrast, in the first cell 10A, the distance between the p+ type contact region 8 and the sidewall of the trench 4 is greater than about 1.0 μm, so that the trench IGBT device in the first cell 10A can operate normally.
也就是说,根据本公开内容的第一实施方式的沟槽型IGBT装置具有交替设置的彼此并联的正常的IGBT器件和常断的IGBT器件的元胞布置。因此,根据本公开内容的第一实施方式的沟槽型IGBT装置可以在不牺牲I-V特性的情况下保持小的饱和电流。此外,由于第二元胞10B中的IGBT 器件是常断的,因此第二元胞10B中的IGBT器件中的栅极可被视为伪栅,从而还可以减少栅极电荷(Qg)。因此,在根据本公开内容的第一实施方式的沟槽型IGBT装置中无需再另外添加用于平衡短路电流和导通损耗之间的折衷关系的伪区,使得能够简化制造工艺并且减小芯片面积。That is, the trench IGBT device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure has a cell arrangement of normal IGBT devices and normally-off IGBT devices that are alternately arranged in parallel with each other. Therefore, the trench IGBT device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure can maintain a small saturation current without sacrificing I-V characteristics. In addition, since the IGBT devices in the second cell 10B are normally off, the gates in the IGBT devices in the second cell 10B can be regarded as dummy gates, so that the gate charge (Qg) can also be reduced. Therefore, there is no need to additionally add a dummy region for balancing the trade-off relationship between short-circuit current and conduction loss in the trench IGBT device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified and the chip size can be reduced area.
根据本公开内容的第一实施方式,通过调整第一元胞10A中的p+型接触区8的第一宽度WC1与n+型源极区7沿第二方向DR2的第四宽度WE4之间的比例关系,可以对沟槽型IGBT装置的I-V特性进行调整。According to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, by adjusting the ratio between the first width WC1 of the p+ type contact region 8 in the first cell 10A and the fourth width WE4 of the n+ type source region 7 along the second direction DR2 relationship, the I-V characteristics of the trench IGBT device can be adjusted.

According to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the lengths of the first cell 10A and the second cell 10B along the first direction DR1 may be different. When the lengths of the first cell 10A and the second cell 10B along the first direction DR1 are different, by adjusting the proportional relationship between the lengths of the first cell 10A and the second cell 10B along the first direction DR1, The I-V characteristics of the trench IGBT device can also be adjusted.

也就是说,根据本公开内容的第二实施方式的沟槽型IGBT装置具有交替设置的彼此并联的正常的IGBT器件和常断的IGBT器件的元胞布置。因此,根据本公开内容的第二实施方式的沟槽型IGBT装置可以在不牺牲I-V特性的情况下保持小的饱和电流。此外,由于第二元胞20B中的IGBT器件是常断的,因此第二元胞20B中的IGBT器件中的栅极可被视为伪栅,从而还可以减少栅极电荷(Qg)。因此,在根据本公开内容的第二实施方式的沟槽型IGBT装置中无需再另外添加用于平衡短路电流和导通损耗之间的折衷关系的伪区,使得能够简化制造工艺并且减小芯片面积。That is, the trench IGBT device according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure has a cell arrangement of normal IGBT devices and normally-off IGBT devices which are alternately arranged in parallel with each other. Therefore, the trench IGBT device according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure can maintain a small saturation current without sacrificing I-V characteristics. In addition, since the IGBT devices in the second cell 20B are normally off, the gates in the IGBT devices in the second cell 20B can be regarded as dummy gates, thereby also reducing the gate charge (Qg).

According to the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the lengths of the first cell 20A and the second cell 20B along the first direction DR1 may be different. When the lengths of the first cell 20A and the second cell 20B along the first direction DR1 are different, by adjusting the proportional relationship between the lengths of the first cell 20A and the second cell 20B along the first direction DR1, The I-V characteristics of the trench IGBT device can also be adjusted.
用于制造根据本公开内容的第二实施方式的沟槽型IGBT装置20的方法与用于制造根据本公开内容的第一实施方式的沟槽型IGBT装置10的方法基本上相同,不同之处在于用于形成沟槽4的刻蚀掩模需要根据栅极G的形状变化进行调整,但是这并未增加额外的工艺步骤。The method for fabricating the trench IGBT device 20 according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure is substantially the same as the method for fabricating the trench IGBT device 10 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, except for the difference The fact is that the etching mask used to form the trench 4 needs to be adjusted according to the shape change of the gate G, but this does not add additional process steps.
根据本公开内容的沟槽型IGBT装置不需要复杂的版图设计并且可以以简化的常规半导体工艺步骤制备,从而能够降低制造成本。同时,根据本公开内容的沟槽型IGBT装置能够降低饱和电流,从而改善短路性能。此外,通过对沟槽型IGBT装置中的相关参数进行调整,可以容易地对沟槽型IGBT装置的I-V特性进行调整。The trench-type IGBT device according to the present disclosure does not require complicated layout design and can be fabricated with simplified conventional semiconductor process steps, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Meanwhile, the trench IGBT device according to the present disclosure can reduce saturation current, thereby improving short-circuit performance. In addition, by adjusting the relevant parameters in the trench IGBT device, the I-V characteristics of the trench IGBT device can be easily adjusted.
