Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, in order to increase the shared voltage of each guard ring, it is necessary to increase the curvature of the diffusion layer to ease the electric field, but there is a problem that it is difficult to achieve when the area of ​​each guard ring is reduced.

Embodiment approach 1

[0071]

[0072] figure 1 It is a sectional view of the terminal region of the power device chip of the present invention, showing a PN junction structure. The structure of a diode is described here as an example of a device. The channel stop area and scribe lines are omitted for convenience.

[0073] On the surface of the low-concentration N-type drift layer 2 formed (epitaxially grown) on the high-concentration N-type substrate 1, the P base layer 3 as the active layer is diffused to form a P base layer 3 to surround the active unit of the P base layer 3 region (a diode is formed in this embodiment), a P well layer 4 is formed as a first well region. The P well layer 4 is the main junction portion of the guard ring structure, and is adjacent to the P base layer 3 and diffused into a ring shape. Further, in the P well layer 4 , along its ring shape, a trench region 5 (sinking region) is formed as a ring-shaped concave portion having a tapered shape whose side surfaces exp...

Embodiment approach 2

[0110]

[0111] In Embodiment 1, the diffusion depth of the P base layer 3 is shallower than the diffusion depth of the P well layer 4, but as Figure 9 As shown, both can be set to the same degree of diffusion depth. The other configurations are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and therefore detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0112]

[0113] By forming the P base layer 3 and the P well layer 4 in this way, the electric field is not concentrated on one radius of curvature portion 22 of the P well layer 4, and the breakdown caused by the avalanche breakdown of the radius of curvature portion 22 is less likely to occur. Improve pressure resistance.

[0114]

[0115] According to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, in the semiconductor device, the diffusion depth of the P base layer 3 as the active layer and the P well layer 4 as the first well region on the high-concentration N-type substrate 1 as the semiconductor substrate is Therefore, the electric field does n...

Embodiment approach 3

[0117]

[0118] In Embodiment Mode 1, the trench region 5 having a tapered shape was formed by dry etching, but as Figure 10~Figure 13 As shown in the process, it can also be formed by the LOCOS (Local Oxidation of Silicon, local oxidation of silicon) oxidation process.

[0119] The following shows the LOCOS oxidation flow. first as Figure 10 As shown, a low-concentration N-type drift layer 2 is formed on a high-concentration N-type substrate 1 , and a nitride film 23 is used to form a pattern for forming a P well layer 4 on the low-concentration N-type drift layer 2 . Nitride film 23 is formed in a region other than the region to be P well layer 4 .

[0120] Then as Figure 11 As shown, the LOCOS oxide film 25 is formed by LOCOS oxidation. Then as Figure 12 As shown, the nitride film 23 and the LOCOS oxide film 25 are removed, and a photoresist 26 is formed so as to open the pattern to be the P well layer 4 . At this time, in the portion where the LOCOS oxide film ...
