A groove-type anode fast recovery diode with bipolar Schottky control and a manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a groove-type anode fast recovery diode with bipolar Schottky control and a manufacturing method thereof. The diode includes a cathode metal, Above the cathode metal there isan N-type intrinsic region, Above the N-type intrinsic region there is an anode metal, the cathode metal is provided with a lightly doped N-type region and a heavily doped N-type region spaced apart from each other, the bottom of the lightly doped N-type region is in Schottky contact with the cathode metal, A heavily doped P-type region and a lightly doped P-type region are arranged between the N-type intrinsic region and the anode metal, and the upper surface of the heavily doped P-type region is lower than the upper surface of the lightly doped P-type region, so that a groove-type anode region is formed, and the lightly doped P-type region is in Schottky contact with the anode metal. The manufacturing method of the groove-type anode fast recovery diode with bipolar Schottky control is characterized in that Schottky contacts of an anode surface and a sidewall can be simultaneously formed by one-step etching.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly relates to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, in particular to a groove type anode fast recovery diode with bipolar Schottky control. Background technique [0002] In various frequency conversion circuits and power electronic systems, whether the main circuit in the circuit is a thyristor with commutation shutdown or a new type of switching device with self-shutoff capability, it is necessary to connect it in parallel and provide freewheeling. The diode of the loop (subsequently referred to as FRD). As the frequency and performance of power electronic devices in these circuit systems continue to increase, in order to match their turn-off capabilities, their FRDs must have fast turn-on and turn-off capabilities, that is, have a lower forward conduction voltage V F and extremely short reverse recovery time. At the same time, in order to improve the energy efficiency and reliability of the system, its FRD must have ...

Problems solved by technology

It is also because of this that the traditional PiN diode has a large amount of minority carriers stored in the intrinsic region during the forward conduction period, so that during the reverse recovery period, the extraction speed of the minority carriers in the intrinsic region is slow, and finally It leads to a longer reverse recovery time, which seriously increases the power consumption of the system circuit and limits the improvement of the system operating frequency.

In order to improve the switching speed of FRD,
