Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular to a super junction MOSFET structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of power device technology, industry insiders have proposed relevant improvement methods for the "silicon limit" problem. Among them, the superjunction metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (Metal Oxide SemiconductorField Effect Transistor, MOSFET) structure that uses charge balance to change the internal electric field distribution has become one of the main methods. Compared with the traditional vertical double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (Vertical Double-diffused Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, VDMOS) structure, the superjunction MOSFET introduces P-type doped columns in the N-type epitaxial region to form alternating PNPN columns, and its internal electric field distribution also changes from the original longitudinal electric field to the joint action of the horizontal and vertical electric fields. Due to the introduction of the lateral electric field, the electric field in the device body changes from a triangular distribution to an approximately rectangular distribution, reducing the specific on-resistance (Rsp) at the same breakdown voltage level, which to a certain extent breaks the "silicon limit".

[0003] At present, the conventional multi-epitaxial super junction MOSFET structure includes: a heavily doped first conductivity type substrate, a first conductivity type epitaxial, a P column, a P-type body region and a heavily doped first conductivity type source region on the P column, a gate oxide layer, a gate polysilicon, an interlayer dielectric layer and a metal layer on the silicon surface, and the metal layer contacts the silicon surface through a contact hole to form an electrode. However, the current distribution of the conventional multi-epitaxial super junction MOSFET structure under the withstand voltage state flows from the drain to the source contact hole, passing through the P-type body region under the heavily doped first conductivity type source region, which easily causes the parasitic NPN transistor in the body to turn on, resulting in device failure, especially under the condition of charge imbalance (biased in the N direction), the situation is more serious.
