Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the VLD terminal still has a disadvantage, which is specifically reflected in its sensitivity to charges. The charges here not only refer to the charges introduced by impurities in the VLD region, but also include trap charges, fixed charges, and movable charges.
In engineering applications, trap charges, fixed charges, and movable charges affect the reliability of VLD terminals, and the breakdown voltage decreases during reverse withstand voltage, which limits the application of VLD terminals.

Abstract

The invention provides a lateral variable doping terminal structure and a design method thereof. The terminal structure comprises a passivation layer, a first conductive type lightly doped drift region, and an anode region sequentially distributed from the surface to the bottom of the terminal structure. The terminal structure further comprises a medium-doped second conduction type main junction region, a medium-doped second conduction type transition region, a medium-doped second conduction type piecewise linear VLD terminal region and a heavy-doped first conduction type floating cut-off ring which are sequentially arranged on the upper portion of the interior from left to right, wherein the medium-doped second conduction type piecewise linear VLD terminal region is composed of two or more sections of regions of which the impurity concentration is linearly decreased from a main junction to a terminal tail end. The terminal area adopting the piecewise linear VLD region can obtain a better VLD terminal surface electric field, so that the withstand voltage of the device can be improved, and the influence of terminal surface oxide layer charges on the reliability of the VLD terminal is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, in particular to a lateral variable doping terminal structure and a design method thereof. Background technique [0002] The cell area of ​​a power semiconductor device is composed of a large number of cells connected in parallel. The PN junction of the internal cells bearing the withstand voltage can be approximated as a parallel plane junction. However, the area of ​​the cell area is limited, and the withstand voltage of those cells near the edge of the chip will be greatly reduced due to the influence of electric field concentration. Transferring the electric field concentration point, that is, the breakdown point, to the body can improve the withstand voltage on the one hand, and improve the reliability of the device on the other hand. To this end, it is necessary to make some structures on the outside of the cell at the edge to relieve the concentration of the electric f...
