Problems solved by technology

However, the use of trench FCL terminal structures also has disadvantages. The reduction of the peak electric field will enhance the expansion ability of the lateral space charge region of the FCL terminal, resulting in an increase in the terminal area.

Abstract

The invention discloses a stepped SiC trench field limiting ring terminal structure, a preparation method and a device thereof. The terminal structure comprises a SiC substrate layer, a SiC epitaxiallayer located on the SiC substrate layer, a plurality of trenches located on the surface of the SiC epitaxial layer, ion implantation regions located in the trenches, and a passivation layer located on the SiC epitaxial layer. The trench depths of the plurality of trenches are distributed in a stepped manner from the edge of the main junction to the outside. According to the terminal structure provided by the invention, the depths of the plurality of trenches on the surface of the terminal are changed into the step shapes, the deeper trenches are adopted on one side close to the main junction,and the shallower junction depth structure is adopted on the periphery of the terminal, so that the terminal area of a device can be effectively reduced; and the peak electric field at the edge terminal of the source region can be effectively reduced to prevent the device from being broken down in advance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and in particular relates to a stepped SiC trench field-limiting ring terminal structure, a preparation method and a device thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of microelectronics technology, the application of Si-based power electronic devices in extreme environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and high humidity has become more and more restricted. As a representative of the third-generation semiconductor material, silicon carbide (SiC) material has a band gap about three times that of silicon material, a breakdown electric field that is eight times that of silicon material, and a thermal conductivity that is three times that of silicon, so SiC is used The devices made of the material also have higher withstand voltage capacity and current density. Based on these excellent characteristics, SiC devices are not only widely ...
