Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a high-reliability glass bead composite diode and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of semiconductors. Background Art
[0002] Fast recovery diode is a semiconductor diode with good switching characteristics and short reverse recovery time. It is mainly used in electronic circuits such as switching power supplies, PWM pulse width modulators, and frequency converters as high-frequency rectifier diodes, freewheeling diodes, or damping diodes. The internal structure of a fast recovery diode is different from that of an ordinary PN junction diode. Because the base region is very thin and the reverse recovery charge is very small, the reverse recovery time of a fast recovery diode is short, the forward voltage drop is low, and the reverse breakdown voltage is high.
[0003] The Schottky diode is made based on the principle of metal-semiconductor junction formed by the contact between metal and semiconductor. The Schottky barrier is formed at the contact surface of the two, and the metal-semiconductor device has rectification characteristics. Therefore, the Schottky diode is also called metal-semiconductor (contact) diode or surface barrier diode. It is a hot carrier diode. The Schottky diode does not have the diffusion region in the PN junction, so there is no carrier recombination phenomenon in the PN junction, which can achieve faster switching speed and reverse recovery time, which can greatly reduce reverse leakage current and energy consumption during reverse switching.
[0004] However, compared with Schottky diodes, fast recovery diodes have longer reverse recovery time. There are a large number of high-concentration impurities in fast recovery diodes, which leads to the formation of a wider depletion region in the PN junction, prolonging the reverse recovery time. In addition, when the fast recovery diode is forward-conducted, there will be a large forward voltage drop, which will cause a certain power loss. Compared with fast recovery diodes, Schottky diodes also have some disadvantages. The performance of Schottky diodes at high frequencies is relatively poor. This is because it has a certain carrier storage effect when forward-conducted, and the junction capacitance of Schottky diodes is large, which limits its working performance at high frequencies. In addition, since the forward conduction characteristics of Schottky diodes are faster, but the reverse conduction characteristics are poor, the performance of Schottky diodes is not as good as that of fast recovery diodes in situations where strong rectification is required.
[0005] CN104716038B discloses a composite fast recovery diode and a preparation method thereof. The diode comprises a metal cathode layer, an N+ substrate layer, an N-type epitaxial layer, a field oxide layer and a metal anode layer connected in sequence. The field oxide layer has an active region window. The N-type epitaxial layer is located at the active region window and is provided with three or more P-type regions and Schottky regions connected to each P-type region. The N-type epitaxial layer also has a charge accumulation region at the bottom of each P-type region. The preparation steps include: (1) oxidizing and photolithography the active region; (2) N-type impurity ion implantation; (3) N push junction; (4) P region implantation window formation; (5) P-type impurity ion implantation; (6) push junction; (7) Schottky region formation; (8) metal film deposition; (9) back side thinning; and (10) back side metallization. However, the switching time of the composite diode prepared by the above method varies greatly under the influence of temperature, and in the high-temperature welding step of the later packaging, additional metal atoms will diffuse, changing the original barrier height, affecting the Schottky barrier characteristics of the device, and then affecting the key parameters of the device such as the on-state voltage and leakage current. In addition, in the welding step, the temperature rises rapidly and then cools, which will cause stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the materials. This stress may cause micro cracks or fractures inside the chip, affecting the mechanical strength and reliability of the device. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a high-reliability glass bead composite diode. The diode adopts chip stacking composite technology. In the chip assembly, the fast recovery chip includes a Schottky chip, which has ultra-fast and ultra-soft recovery characteristics while also having low forward conduction loss and high reverse breakdown voltage. The structure provided by the present invention effectively solves the problem that the Schottky chip cannot be welded at high temperature, and can also effectively improve the high-temperature working characteristics of the chip.
[0007] The invention provides a high-reliability glass bead composite diode, comprising a crystal grain, wherein a welding piece is respectively arranged on both sides of the crystal grain, a lead is arranged on the side of the welding piece away from the crystal grain, a molybdenum grain is further arranged between the crystal grain and the welding piece, and the crystal grain, the molybdenum grain and the welding piece are wrapped in a glass bead; the crystal grain comprises a metal cathode, an N+ substrate, an N region, a P region, a P+ region, an insulating dielectric layer, a Schottky region and a metal anode, wherein the metal cathode is located on the back of the N+ substrate, the N region is located on the front of the N+ substrate, the P region is located on the side of the N region away from the N+ substrate, the P region contains a plurality of P+ regions, the insulating dielectric layer is located on the side of the P region away from the N region, is in a circular ring shape, and has a width smaller than the P region, the metal anode is located on the side of the insulating dielectric layer away from the P region, covers the insulating dielectric layer, and the Schottky region is located in the circular ring formed by the insulating dielectric layer and is connected to the P+ region.
[0008] Furthermore, there are at least two P+ regions, and the P+ regions are connected to the insulating dielectric layer and the Schottky region at the same time.
[0009] Furthermore, the crystal grain is a truncated cone, and the side surface is an inward arc.
[0010] Furthermore, the P+ region has a depth of 0.8-1 μm, a width of 20-45 μm, and a doping concentration of 1e16-1e19 cm -3 The P region has a depth of 40-60 μm and a doping concentration of 2e13-2e15 cm -3 ; The depth of the N region is 50-70μm, and the depth of the N+ region is 100-120μm.
[0011] According to the above-mentioned method for preparing a high-reliability glass bead composite diode, the following steps are included:
[0012] S1. Boron sheet treatment: push the boron sheet into the furnace tube, dry it in nitrogen atmosphere, and then heat it up to oxidize the boron sheet in anhydrous oxygen atmosphere;
[0013] S2. The wafer is cleaned in SC1 solution, and then in SC2 solution, and then cleaned and dehydrated with pure water. After dehydration, it is sent to the oven for baking; impurities on the surface of the original wafer are cleaned to ensure that the subsequent process will not be contaminated by impurities;
[0014] S3. The wafer is sent to a diffusion furnace for boron diffusion pre-deposition, washed with hydrofluoric acid and pure water respectively, dehydrated and baked, and then subjected to high-temperature oxidation, washed with hydrofluoric acid, BOE, and pure water respectively, dehydrated and baked, and then the wafer is arranged on a quartz boat and sent to a diffusion furnace for boron diffusion, washed with hydrofluoric acid and pure water respectively, and baked; high-temperature oxidation deposits a layer of B on the EPI layer of the wafer 2 O 3 And make boron diffuse to a certain depth and concentration to meet the design requirements; boron diffusion is to form a p-region with a certain concentration that meets the requirements;
[0015] S4. Sandblast the boron surface of the wafer, clean it with pure water and bake it, send the wafer into the platinum expansion furnace for platinum diffusion, soak the wafer in acid after diffusion, clean it with pure water and bake it, sandblast both sides of the wafer, clean it with pure water, SC1, SC2 and pure water respectively and bake it; the sandblasting step can remove the residual source covering layer on the surface; the solid solubility of platinum atoms in solids varies greatly due to the influence of temperature, so a rapid cooling method should be adopted when cooling down the platinum expansion, otherwise the platinum atoms will precipitate on the surface or accumulate in the interior, and will not play the role of recombination center. Incorporating heavy metal atoms into the PN junction to increase the recombination center can reduce the carrier lifetime, achieve a rapid recovery effect and thus reduce TRR;

The initial oxide layer can be used as a hard mask during ion implantation and can also be used as a protective layer for subsequent PN junctions; the oxide layer grows to form silicon dioxide on the wafer surface by using oxygen and temperature, which can prevent channel effects and also serve as a sacrificial layer for subsequent steps; after ion implantation, it diffuses to form a P+ region;
[0017] S6. Pre-depositing titanium on the wafer, then plating a barrier metal on the wafer surface, and then sending the wafer into a metal alloying furnace for metal alloying. After metal alloying, removing excess barrier metal with an etching solution, and then plating a welding metal on the wafer surface; the barrier metal is plated on the wafer surface to form a Schottky region, and the metal alloying ensures that the high temperature during subsequent device welding will not damage the device;
[0018] S7. Perform the third photolithography and metal etching, remove the photoresist, grind the back of the wafer, and then clean and dry it; grind the back of the wafer to thin the wafer and reduce the VF value, which is beneficial for subsequent packaging;
[0019] S8. Deposit a layer of aluminum film on the surface of the wafer to form a metal cathode and a metal anode, separate the crystal grains from the glass sheet after sand blowing, rinse and dry the crystal grains, corrode with mixed acid, and then dehydrate and dry; deposit a uniform layer of aluminum film on the surface of the wafer for electrode contact; sand blowing can cut the wafer with regularly arranged iron sheets on the surface to obtain crystal grains with reasonable table shape; use chemical reagents to clean the surface of the aluminum layer and the PN junction of the crystal grains, which can improve the welding quality of the crystal grains and molybdenum grains in the later stage and form a crystal table that meets the size requirements and surface quality;
[0020] S9. Welding is performed in a vacuum welding furnace in the order of leads, solder tabs, molybdenum grains, grains, molybdenum grains, solder tabs, and leads. The grains after welding are washed with mixed acid and water, and glass powder is applied to form a spherical glass frit attachment layer on the molybdenum column portion of the die of the welded member to obtain a diode blank;

Sintering the diode blank to obtain a diode component, tinning the diode component, cleaning and drying it, and packaging it to obtain the desired product; sintering is to seal the diode blank into a diode component whose electrical parameters and appearance meet the internal passivation requirements; tinning the sintered diode component can protect the lead from oxidation.
[0022] Furthermore, in step S3, nitrogen is passed throughout the boron diffusion pre-deposition process, the temperature is raised from 300°C, oxygen is introduced when the temperature reaches 600°C, the temperature is raised to 1150°C and kept constant for 4-6 hours, and then the oxygen is turned off when the temperature is lowered to 600°C, and the temperature is lowered to 350°C before being taken out of the furnace; the thickness of the oxide film of the high-temperature oxidation is required to be ≥80nm.
[0023] Furthermore, in step S4, the platinum source is diffused, the platinum source is placed on a stirrer for stirring, the wafer is placed on a source coating machine for source coating, preheated for 14-16 minutes at the furnace mouth, and then pushed into the constant temperature zone, nitrogen is passed throughout the process, and the wafer is taken out of the furnace and transferred to the support for natural cooling.
[0024] Furthermore, the pre-deposition in step S6 is two layers, the first layer is titanium silicide, and the second layer is titanium nitride.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0028] 1. The present invention adopts superposition composite technology, and the fast recovery diode in the assembly includes a Schottky diode, which has ultra-fast and ultra-soft recovery characteristics while also having low forward conduction loss and high reverse breakdown voltage. The switching time TRR is less than 15ns, and VB is greater than 1200v, which can reduce the heat loss of the device, save energy, and effectively improve the high-temperature working characteristics of the device Tg to 175°C; the titanium silicide and titanium nitride formed by the pre-deposition of titanium and the Ag layer after metal alloying protect the internal structure of the diode, solving the problem that the Schottky diode cannot be welded at high temperature.
[0029] 2. The glass bead firing passivation technology is adopted.

[0030] 3. The outer grain round and inner grain round molding technology has a more reasonable structure, which can effectively avoid the tip discharge phenomenon of the diode under high voltage and improve the stability and reliability of the chip.
[0031] 4. In actual production, it is found that the fast recovery diodes made of epitaxial silicon wafers show obvious negative temperature characteristics within the normal working current range, and the switching time increases rapidly with the increase of temperature; for the fast recovery diodes made of chip stacking and composite, the switching time does not increase much with the increase of temperature; clever selection of the doping concentration of the single crystal silicon substrate can produce a fast recovery diode with a small correlation between the forward voltage drop VF and temperature under the maximum forward current.
[0032] 5. In terms of overall diode layout, avoid excessive density, make the spacing between components more reasonable, and reduce the mutual influence between electronic components. After rigorous testing and evaluation, the reliability and stability of diodes in various extreme working environments are ensured to maximize the reliability requirements of electronic products in complex environments. The resulting products are mainly used in lighting, power supply, screen display and other devices with large temperature differences and high voltages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
