由于MOSFET器件属于单极型器件,无少数载流子参与导电,因此高频特性优越,但是硅基MOSFET受限于单极型器件设计公式Rdson∝VB 2,在制作高压器件时导通电阻很大,因此市场上常见的高压硅基MOSFET器件的电压等级一般为几百伏。目前主流的高压开关管是硅基IGBT,但是由于其引入了双极型电导调制,开关频率受到了极大的限制。 Since MOSFET devices are unipolar devices, there are no minority carriers participating in conduction, so the high-frequency characteristics are superior. However, silicon-based MOSFETs are limited by the design formula Rdson∝VB 2 of unipolar devices, and the on-resistance is very low when making high-voltage devices. Therefore, the voltage level of common high-voltage silicon-based MOSFET devices on the market is generally several hundred volts. The current mainstream high-voltage switching tube is silicon-based IGBT, but due to the introduction of bipolar conductance modulation, the switching frequency is greatly limited.
高压碳化硅MOSFET器件凭借着宽禁带、耐高压的材料优势而具有较低的导通电阻,因而近些年来越来越受到市场的关注,在电动汽车逆变器、充电桩、不间断电源等领域得到了越来越多的使用。但是由于材料本身特点,碳化硅半导体器件制作工艺在很多方面都与传统硅工艺不同,更加复杂困难。在SIC MOSFET源极制作工艺中,P型源极和N型源极是短路的,且为了简化工艺流程,P型源极和N型源极在同一工艺中同时形成,并同时在快速退火炉中进行相同温度的快速退火。现有工艺方法往往需要对P型和N型源极的接触电阻率进行折中考虑,也就是说最终产品的N型接触和P型接触都不是各自可以达到的最低接触电阻率。发明人经大量研究发现,由于N型碳化硅需要接近1000℃的欧姆接触退火温度,而对于P型碳化硅,最佳退火温度相对较低,只需要800℃-900℃,所以现有技术中在制备SIC MOSFET器件时同时在退火炉中对P型源极和N型源极进行退火的方式无法同时形成良好的P型和N型源极欧姆接触,导致至少其中一方的电阻率偏高,较高的N型源极接触电阻率会导致正向导通电阻增加,较高的P型源极接触电阻率在MOSFET反向体二极管导通时,影响其导通性能。为此,发明人经长期研究,提出了一种改善方案。High-voltage silicon carbide MOSFET devices have low on-resistance due to their wide bandgap and high-voltage-resistant materials, so they have attracted more and more attention from the market in recent years. They are used in electric vehicle inverters, charging piles, and uninterruptible power supplies. and other fields have been used more and more. However, due to the characteristics of the material itself, the manufacturing process of silicon carbide semiconductor devices is different from the traditional silicon process in many aspects, and it is more complicated and difficult. In the SIC MOSFET source manufacturing process, the P-type source and the N-type source are short-circuited, and in order to simplify the process flow, the P-type source and the N-type source are formed at the same time in the same process, and at the same time in the rapid annealing furnace rapid annealing at the same temperature. Existing process methods often need to compromise the contact resistivity of P-type and N-type sources, that is to say, the N-type contact and P-type contact of the final product are not the lowest contact resistivity that can be achieved respectively. The inventors have found through a lot of research that since N-type silicon carbide requires an ohmic contact annealing temperature close to 1000°C, and for P-type silicon carbide, the optimal annealing temperature is relatively low, only 800°C-900°C, so in the prior art In the preparation of SIC MOSFET devices, the method of annealing the P-type source and the N-type source in the annealing furnace at the same time cannot form a good P-type and N-type source ohmic contact at the same time, resulting in at least one of them having a high resistivity. A higher N-type source contact resistivity will lead to an increase in the forward conduction resistance, and a higher P-type source contact resistivity will affect its conduction performance when the MOSFET reverse body diode is turned on. For this reason, the inventor has proposed a kind of improvement scheme through long-term research.

现有技术中的SIC MOSFET器件在制备过程中,P型源极和N型源极在同一工艺中同时形成,并同时在快速退火炉中进行相同温度的快速退火。现有工艺方法往往需要对P型和N型源极的接触电阻率进行折中考虑,也就是说最终产品的N型接触和P型接触都不是各自可以达到的最低接触电阻率。发明人经大量研究发现,由于N型碳化硅需要接近1000℃的欧姆接触退火温度,而对于P型碳化硅,最佳退火温度相对较低,只需要800℃-900℃,所以现有技术中在制备SIC MOSFET器件时,同时在退火炉中对P型源极和N型源极进行退火的方式导致至少其中一方的电阻率偏高,较高的N型源极接触电阻率会导致正向导通电阻增加,较高的P型源极接触电阻率在MOSFET反向体二极管导通时,影响其导通性能。为此,发明人经长期研究,提出了一种改善方案。In the manufacturing process of the SIC MOSFET device in the prior art, the P-type source and the N-type source are simultaneously formed in the same process, and the rapid annealing at the same temperature is carried out in the rapid annealing furnace at the same time. Existing process methods often need to compromise the contact resistivity of P-type and N-type sources, that is to say, the N-type contact and P-type contact of the final product are not the lowest contact resistivity that can be achieved respectively. The inventors have found through a lot of research that since N-type silicon carbide requires an ohmic contact annealing temperature close to 1000°C, and for P-type silicon carbide, the optimal annealing temperature is relatively low, only 800°C-900°C, so in the prior art When preparing SIC MOSFET devices, the method of annealing the P-type source and the N-type source in the annealing furnace at the same time leads to a high resistivity of at least one of them, and the higher contact resistivity of the N-type source will lead to forward conductivity. The on-resistance increases, and the higher P-type source contact resistivity affects its conduction performance when the MOSFET reverse body diode is turned on. For this reason, the inventor has proposed a kind of improvement scheme through long-term research.

于形成第一有源区金属层23和第二有源区金属层24后得到的结构表面形成保护层22,所述保护层22包括但不限于氮化硅层和/或氮化钛层,所述保护层22的厚度根据第一有源区金属层23和第二有源区金属层24的材质和/或保护层22的具体材质的不同而不同,比如在一示例中,所述保护层22为氮化钛层,其厚度为300埃以上,但较佳地为低于2000埃,所述保护层22覆盖所述第一有源区14和第二有源区15中的P型有源区,即第一有源区14为P型区时,则覆盖第一有源区14,否则覆盖第二有源区15,该步骤得到的结构如图8所示,图8中虚线框标记处的两个位置的实际退火温度不同;A protection layer 22 is formed on the surface of the structure obtained after forming the first active region metal layer 23 and the second active region metal layer 24, the protection layer 22 includes but not limited to a silicon nitride layer and/or a titanium nitride layer, The thickness of the protective layer 22 is different according to the material of the first active area metal layer 23 and the second active area metal layer 24 and/or the specific material of the protective layer 22. For example, in an example, the protective layer Layer 22 is a titanium nitride layer with a thickness of more than 300 angstroms, but preferably less than 2000 angstroms. The protective layer 22 covers the P-type active region 14 and the second active region 15. Active region, that is, when the first active region 14 is a P-type region, then cover the first active region 14, otherwise cover the second active region 15, the structure obtained in this step is as shown in Figure 8, the dotted line in Figure 8 The actual annealing temperatures at the two positions at the box marks are different;
采用激光退火对所述第一有源区14和第二有源区15进行同步退火,其中,覆盖有保护层22的P型有源区的实际退火温度低于未覆盖有保护层22的第二有源区15中的N型有源区的实际退火温度。其原理在于,激光快速退火是采用激光束照射半导体表面,在照射区内产生极高的温度,但高温作用的深度较浅,随着深度增加,温度降低,而在制备SiC MOSFET源极欧姆接触时,P型与N型最优的退火温度不同,其中P型最优的退火温度较N型低,因而在P型区域上方制备一层保护层22(如TiN),采用激光退火的方式对源极进行 欧姆接触退火,P型保护层22的存在使得其欧姆接触退火温度相对较低,而激光直接作用在N型区,其欧姆接触退火温度较高,从而同时得到最优的接触电阻率。以镍金属为例,对比不同掺杂类型SiC形成的欧姆接触电阻率数据见下表:Synchronous annealing is performed on the first active region 14 and the second active region 15 by laser annealing, wherein the actual annealing temperature of the P-type active region covered with the protective layer 22 is lower than that of the first active region not covered with the protective layer 22 The actual annealing temperature of the N-type active region in the second active region 15 . The principle is that laser rapid annealing uses laser beams to irradiate the semiconductor surface, which generates extremely high temperatures in the irradiated area, but the depth of the high temperature effect is shallow. As the depth increases, the temperature decreases, while the SiC MOSFET source ohmic contact is prepared. , the optimal annealing temperature of P-type and N-type is different, and the optimal annealing temperature of P-type is lower than that of N-type. The source is subjected to ohmic contact annealing, and the presence of the P-type protective layer 22 makes its ohmic contact annealing temperature relatively low, while the laser directly acts on the N-type region, and its ohmic contact annealing temperature is relatively high, thereby simultaneously obtaining optimal contact resistivity . Taking nickel metal as an example, compare the ohmic contact resistivity data formed by SiC with different doping types as shown in the table below:

表1中,RTA快速退火为采用现有技术的在退火炉汇中对P型源极和N型源极同时进行退火而激光退火(P区有保护层)表示采用本发明示例的P区设有保护层并采用激光退火。由表1可知,P区设有保护层并采用激光退火,改善了P区的接触电阻率,从而使得P型区和N型区均得到最优的接触电阻率。In Table 1, RTA rapid annealing is the simultaneous annealing of the P-type source and the N-type source in the annealing furnace sink using the prior art, and laser annealing (there is a protective layer in the P region) means that the design of the P-type source using the example of the present invention is adopted. Protected and laser annealed. It can be seen from Table 1 that the P region is provided with a protective layer and laser annealing is used to improve the contact resistivity of the P region, so that both the P-type region and the N-type region can obtain optimal contact resistivity.
本申请对P区和N区采取不同的退火温度,可以使得P型区和N型区均得到最优的电阻率,有助于提高器件性能,且在进一步优选的方案中,两者的退火工艺同步进行,有助于简化制备工艺,同时避免器件历经多次退火而受到损伤。当然,若保护层22为非导电层,则形成欧姆接触后还需要将保护层22去除。但如果形成的保护层22为金属层,则可以无需去除。The application adopts different annealing temperatures for the P-region and the N-region, which can make the P-type region and the N-type region obtain optimal resistivity, which helps to improve device performance, and in a further preferred solution, the annealing of the two The process is carried out synchronously, which helps to simplify the manufacturing process, and at the same time prevents the device from being damaged after multiple annealings. Of course, if the protective layer 22 is a non-conductive layer, the protective layer 22 needs to be removed after the ohmic contact is formed. However, if the formed protective layer 22 is a metal layer, it does not need to be removed.
