technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, and relates to an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), in particular to a bidirectional IGBT and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] A new type of power electronic device composed of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), an insulated field effect transistor (MOSFET) and a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), can be equivalent to a MOSFET driven by a bipolar junction transistor. IGBT combines the working mechanism of MOSFET structure and bipolar junction transistor. It not only has the advantages of MOSFET easy to drive, low input impedance, and fast switching speed, but also has the advantages of BJT on-state current density, low on-state voltage, low loss, and stability. Therefore, compared with current-controlled devices such as thyristors, it has obvious advantages in controllability, safe operating area, switching loss and simplification...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] The implementation of method (1) will increase the gate-emitter capacitance and gate-collector capacitance at the same time, and the switching process of the IGBT is essentially the process of charging / discharging the gate capacitance, so the increase in the gate capacitance will Makes the charging / discharging time longer, which in turn causes the switching speed to decrease

Therefore, the deep trench gate depth will reduce the switching speed of the device, increase the switching loss of the device, and affect the compromise characteristics of the device's conduction voltage drop and switching loss; and the implementation of method (2) will increase the device's switching loss The gate capacitance will reduce the switching speed of the device and increase the switching loss, which will affect the compromise between the conduction voltage drop and switching loss of the device. On the other hand, the large channel density will also increase the saturation current density of the device, making the device short-circuit safe. work area deterioration

Additionally, for figure 1 In the bidirectional IGBT structure shown, the gate oxide layer is formed in the trench by one thermal oxidation. In order to ensure a certain threshold voltage, the thickness of the entire gate oxide layer is small. Since the MOS capacitance is inversely proportional to the thickness of the oxide layer, traditional The small gate oxide thickness in the bidirectional IGBT structure greatly increases the gate capacitance of the device

In addition, the small gate oxide thickness concentrates the electric field at the bottom of the trench, making the device less reliable
