Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. High preparation cost
For example, SiC epitaxial equipment is expensive, and the epitaxial process consumes a lot of energy, etc.
[0006] 2. It is technically difficult to grow thicker epitaxial layers
For the growth of epitaxial layers with a thickness of 100 μm and above, the process requirements are high, which can only be achieved by top silicon carbide device companies such as Cree in the world. Therefore, technical bottlenecks limit the popularization and application of high-power SiC IGBTs

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for a silicon carbide insulated gate bipolar transistor. The preparation method mainly solves the problem that the preparation cost of an existing SiC insulated gate bipolar transistor is too high. The preparation method comprises the steps that a P-type SiC substrate with excellent structural performance is selected, an oxide layer is grown on the silicon surface of the substrate, and then polycrystalline silicon and silicon nitride are sequentially formed through deposition; a gate self alignment process is adopted, a well region window is formed in the surface, with the polycrystalline silicon and silicon nitride in a deposition mode, of the substrate in an etching mode, and an N well, an N+ contact area and an emitter electrode region are formed through ion implantation; a collector electrode region is formed in the carbon surface of the substrate through ion implantation; then, high-temperature annealing is conducted, a drive-in process is completed, and implanted impurities are activated; metal layers are formed on the silicon surface and the carbon surface of the substrate through deposition, and all electrodes are led out; finally, metal sintering is conducted, and good contact is formed. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method for the silicon carbide insulated gate bipolar transistor has the advantages that an over-thick voltage-withstanding layer does not need to be grown through an epitaxy technique, the production cost is reduced greatly, processing steps are simplified, and the silicon carbide insulated gate bipolar transistor can be applied to a switched-mode power supply and a lighting circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, relates to a preparation method of a semiconductor device, and can be widely used in the fields of frequency converters, inverters, switching power supplies, lighting circuits, motors and the like. technical background [0002] Looking back at the development of power semiconductor devices, it can be roughly divided into four generations. The first generation is represented by the thyristor SCR that appeared in the 1950s. Its advantage is that the power capacity is particularly large, and the current level has reached 7000V / 8000A. But the disadvantage is that the switching speed is low and the shutdown is uncontrollable. In order to solve the uncontrollable problem of SCR turn-off, the second-generation products represented by gate turn-off thyristor GTO and giant bipolar transistor GTR appeared in the 1970s. They are all self-turn-off devices, the switching speed is higher than that ...
