Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a manufacturing method of a field effect transistor and the field effect transistor. Background Art

[0002] Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is widely used in various power systems because of its advantages such as fast switching speed, low power consumption, easy gate drive, low drive power, high input impedance and fast frequency response. In various high-electrical stress systems, on the one hand, power field-effect transistors are required to have lower conduction losses, and on the other hand, the devices are required to be able to operate for a longer time under high voltage and high current, that is, the devices must have high reliability and a large safe operating area (SOA). Based on the thermal instability of MOSFET, the greater the channel density, the easier it is for the parasitic transistors in the body to turn on, resulting in current concentration, causing the internal temperature of the device to rise, and causing the safe operating area (SOA) to shrink. In related technologies, a virtual cell structure is used to reduce the channel density, but this structure greatly increases the on-resistance, resulting in a waste of chip area.

[0067] Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is widely used in various power systems due to its advantages such as fast switching speed, low power consumption, easy gate drive, low drive power, high input impedance and fast frequency response. In various high-stress systems, on the one hand, power MOSFETs are required to have lower conduction losses, and on the other hand, the devices are required to be able to operate for a longer time under high voltage and high current, that is, the devices must have high reliability and a large safe operating area (SOA). According to the thermal instability of MOSFET, the greater the channel density, the easier it is for the parasitic transistors in the body to turn on, resulting in current concentration, causing the internal temperature of the device to rise, and causing the safe operating area (SOA) to shrink. In related technologies, a virtual cell structure is used to reduce the channel density, but this structure greatly increases the on-resistance, resulting in a waste of chip area.

[0068] First, as Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a method for manufacturing a field effect transistor, which at least includes steps S110 to S211.

[0069] S110 , providing a substrate 2 , the substrate 2 including a front surface and a back surface opposite to each other, and forming a first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 on the front surface of the substrate 2 ;

[0070] S120, forming first trenches on both sides of the first conductivity type semiconductor drift region 3, and forming first oxide layers 9a in the first trenches;

[0071] S130, depositing polysilicon on the first oxide layer 9a to form a shield gate polysilicon electrode 8;

[0072] S140, performing thermal oxidation growth or deposition on the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8 to form a second oxide layer 9b, wherein the first oxide layer 9a and the second oxide layer 9b partially wrap the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8;

[0073] S150, thermally oxidizing and growing the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 located on the second oxide layer 9b and then etching to form a curved surface structure, thermally oxidizing and growing the third oxide layer 9c on the curved surface structure, and depositing polysilicon on the second oxide layer 9b to form a gate polysilicon electrode 7;

[0074] S160 , performing ion implantation and push-in junction on a side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2 to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 having a slope;

[0075] S170 , performing partitioned ion implantation and push-in junction on a side of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 away from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 to form a first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 ;

[0076] S180, performing passivation on the gate polysilicon electrode 7, the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 and the third oxide layer 9c to form a gate-source dielectric layer 10;

[0077] S190 , performing photolithography on a side of the gate-source dielectric layer 10 away from the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 to form a second trench, and performing ion implantation on the second trench to form a second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 in the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 ;

[0078] S210 , depositing metal on the gate-source dielectric layer 10 and the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 to form a source metal layer 11 ;

[0079] S211, depositing metal on the back side of the substrate 2 to form a drain metal layer 1;

[0080] The first oxide layer 9 a , the second oxide layer 9 b and the third oxide layer 9 c constitute the insulating dielectric layer 9 .

[0081] It should be noted that the substrate 2 is a heavily doped first conductivity type semiconductor, and the second conductivity type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 is also heavily doped.

[0082] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, in step S110 , a substrate 2 is provided, and a single crystal material is grown on the front surface of the substrate 2 to form a first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 .

[0083] Specifically, in step S120, first trenches are formed on both sides of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and a first oxide layer 9a is formed in the first trenches, including: setting a mask on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, exposing, developing and etching the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 to obtain the first trenches, and performing thermal oxidation growth or deposition on the first trenches to form the first oxide layer 9a. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, a mask is set on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 provided with the mask layer is exposed and developed, the position of the first trench is determined, and the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 is etched to form the first trench. Because the semiconductor device is manufactured, the operation is performed on the entire substrate. Therefore, a substrate includes multiple field effect transistors, and the first trenches of two adjacent field effect transistors are adjacent. The first trench is located in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and then the first trench is thermally oxidized to form a first oxide layer 9a on the sidewall and bottom of the first trench.

[0084] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, in step S130, polysilicon is deposited on the first oxide layer 9a. If there is excess polysilicon deposition, the excess polysilicon material inside and outside the first trench is etched to form a shield gate polysilicon electrode 8 on the first oxide layer 9a.

[0085] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, in step S140, the first oxide layer 9a located on the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8 in the first trench is etched, and a second oxide layer 9b is formed on the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8 by thermal oxidation growth or deposition. The first oxide layer 9a and the second oxide layer 9b are used to wrap a portion of the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8. Because two adjacent field effect transistors are in contact with each other, the first oxide layer 9a and the second oxide layer 9b can completely wrap the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8.

[0086] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, in step S150, the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 located on the second oxide layer 9b is first thermally oxidized to form a sacrificial oxide layer, and then the sacrificial oxide layer is etched to form an arc surface structure, so that the side wall of the first trench located on the second oxide layer 9b is etched toward the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, so that the side wall of the first trench located on the second oxide layer 9b has an arc surface structure, thermal oxidation growth is performed on the arc surface structure to form a third oxide layer 9c, polysilicon is deposited on the second oxide layer 9b, and excess polysilicon is etched back to form a gate polysilicon electrode 7, and the second oxide layer 9b and the third oxide layer 9c wrap part of the gate polysilicon electrode 7.

[0087] Specifically, if Figure 7-12 As shown, in step S160, ion implantation and push-in junction are performed on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 located between the third oxide layer 9c on the side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2, and a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope is formed on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3.

[0088] Specifically, ion implantation and push-up are performed on the side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2 to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope, including: performing oblique ion implantation on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 based on a preset angle to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z; and push-up is performed on the initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope. Specifically, as Figure 7As shown, ion implantation is performed on the side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2. The angle of the ion implantation is a preset angle with the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3. An initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z is formed in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3. Then, push-joining is performed to obtain a second conductive type semiconductor region 4 with a slope.

[0089] Specifically, ion implantation and push-up are performed on a side of the first-conductivity-type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2 to form a second-conductivity-type semiconductor body region 4 having a slope. The process includes: creating a window in the first-conductivity-type semiconductor drift region 3 using a mask to obtain an ion implantation window; implanting ions into the first-conductivity-type semiconductor drift region 3 based on the ion implantation window to form an initial second-conductivity-type semiconductor body region 4z; and push-up is performed on the initial second-conductivity-type semiconductor body region 4z to form a second-conductivity-type semiconductor body region 4 having a slope. The region formed by ion implantation using the mask is the initial second-conductivity-type semiconductor body region 4z.

[0090] In more detail, the ion implantation window includes a single window or multiple windows, and ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 based on the ion implantation window to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z, including: when the ion implantation window is a single window, ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through a single window to obtain an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z; when the ion implantation window is multiple windows, ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through multiple windows to obtain an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z.

[0091] The single window ion implantation method is as follows: ① Ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through a single ion implantation window to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3. ② First, low-doping concentration second conductive type impurities are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and then high-doping concentration second conductive type impurities are implanted into one side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through a single window to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z. ③ As Figure 8-9 As shown, the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 is respectively injected with second conductive type impurities of different doping concentrations through a single window mask with two opening positions coordinated with each other to obtain an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z, wherein the two opening positions are coordinated with each other as follows: the openings of the two masks do not overlap and are relatively positioned. For example, the window position of the first mask is a partial area above the left side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and the window position of the second mask is a partial area above the right side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3.

[0092] Specifically, if Figure 10 As shown, three windows of different sizes are set on the mask, and the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 is opened to form three ion implantation windows. Ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through the three ion implantation windows, as shown in FIG. Figure 11 As shown, three initial second conductive type semiconductor body regions 4z of different sizes are formed in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and the three initial second conductive type semiconductor body regions 4z of different sizes are subjected to push-junction, as shown in FIG. Figure 12 As shown, a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 (4a and 4b) with a slope is formed in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3. The number, size and position of the ion implantation windows can be set according to actual conditions and are not limited thereto.

[0093] It should be noted that if Figure 12 As shown, in order to accurately express the doping concentration of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4, the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 is divided into two parts. The doping concentration of the first second conductive type semiconductor body region 4a formed in the area with a large ion implantation window is greater than that of the second second conductive type semiconductor body region 4b formed in the area with a small ion implantation window. Figure 10 As shown, when the ion injection window decreases from left to right, as shown in Figure 12 As shown, the first second conductivity type semiconductor body region 4a located on the left side is heavily doped, and the second second conductivity type semiconductor body region 4b located on the right side is lightly doped.

[0094] In detail, in step S170, Figure 13 As shown, partitioned ion implantation and push-in junction are performed on the side of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 away from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 to form a first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 on the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 .

[0095] Specifically, if Figure 14 As shown, in step S180, the surfaces of the gate polysilicon electrode 7, the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 and the third oxide layer 9c are passivated to form a gate-source dielectric layer 10; in step S190, photolithography is performed on the side of the gate-source dielectric layer 10 away from the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 to form a second trench between the first conductive type semiconductor source regions 6, and ion implantation is performed in the second trench, as shown in FIG. Figure 14 As shown, a second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 is formed in the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 .

[0096] Specifically, if Figure 15As shown, in step S210, metal is deposited on the gate-source dielectric layer 10 and the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5, and then the excess deposited metal layer is photoetched to form a source metal layer 11; in step S211, the back of the substrate 2 is first thinned, and then metal is deposited on the back of the thinned substrate 2 to form a drain metal layer 1.

[0097] Second, as Figure 15 As shown, the present application further provides a field effect transistor, which is manufactured based on the method for manufacturing a field effect transistor provided in the first aspect, comprising:

[0098] A drain metal layer 1, a substrate 2 and a first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 sequentially stacked on the drain metal layer 1;

[0102] A third oxide layer 9c is provided on a side of the second oxide layer 9b facing away from the substrate 2, wherein a portion of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 is located between the third oxide layers 9c;

[0103] a gate polysilicon electrode 7, which is arranged on a side of the second oxide layer 9b facing away from the substrate 2;

[0104] a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4, which is arranged on a side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2;

[0105] a second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5, which is arranged on a side of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 away from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, wherein the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 is located within the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4;

[0106] a first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 , which is arranged on a side of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 away from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 ;

[0107] a gate-source dielectric layer 10, which is disposed on a side of the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 away from the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4, and the gate-source dielectric layer 10 covers the gate polysilicon electrode 7, the third oxide layer 9c, and the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6;

[0108] The source metal layer 11 is disposed on a side of the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 away from the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 , and the source metal layer 11 covers the gate-source dielectric layer 10 and the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 .

[0109] In detail, such as Figure 14 As shown, the shielding gate polysilicon electrode 8 is isolated from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 by the first oxide layer 9a in the horizontal direction; the gate polysilicon electrode 7 is isolated from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4, the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 and the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 by the third oxide layer 9c, wherein the horizontal direction is the direction parallel to the drain metal layer 1.

[0110] In more detail, Figure 14 As shown, the contact surface between the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 and the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 has a slope, and the doping concentration of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 decreases as its volume decreases.

[0111] It should be emphasized that the doping concentration of the heavily doped region of the field effect transistor provided in this application is greater than 1e18 cm -3 , the doping concentration in the lightly doped region is less than 1e17 cm -3 The first conductive type semiconductor is an N-type semiconductor, and the second conductive type semiconductor is a P-type semiconductor; or the first conductive type semiconductor is a P-type semiconductor, and the second conductive type semiconductor is an N-type semiconductor, and the semiconductor material is silicon or silicon carbide.

[0112] like Figure 14 As shown, the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 is divided into two parts. According to the volume relationship, the first second conductive type semiconductor body region 4a is heavily doped, and the second second conductive type semiconductor body region 4b is lightly doped. When the field effect transistor is turned on, on the side of the heavily doped first second conductive type semiconductor body region 4a, as the dosage of the second conductive type semiconductor in the body region increases, the source region gradually reduces the voltage and the voltage drops, so that the voltage drop between the second conductive type semiconductor body regions 4 with different doping concentrations and the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 does not exceed 0.7V, thereby effectively suppressing the turning on of the parasitic transistor of the field effect transistor, enhancing the thermal instability resistance of the field effect transistor, and obtaining a larger safe working area.

[0113] It should be noted that the field effect transistor may not need the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8, and the trench and planar gate field effect transistors are also applicable.

[0114] Thirdly, as Figure 16 As shown, the present application also provides a method for manufacturing a field effect transistor, comprising:

[0115] S1601, providing a substrate 2, the substrate 2 including a front surface and a back surface opposite to each other, and forming a first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 on the front surface of the substrate 2;

[0117] S1603, depositing polysilicon on the insulating dielectric layer 9 to form a gate polysilicon electrode 7;

[0118] S1604, performing ion implantation and push-in junction on the side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2 to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope;

[0119] S1605: performing partitioned ion implantation and push-in junction on the side of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 away from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 to form a first conductive type semiconductor source region;

[0120] S1606, performing passivation on the gate polysilicon electrode 7, the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 and a portion of the insulating dielectric layer 9 to form a gate-source dielectric layer 10;

[0121] S1607 , performing photolithography on a side of the inter-gate-source dielectric layer 10 facing away from the inter-gate-source dielectric layer 10 to form a second trench, and performing ion implantation into the second trench to form a second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 in the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 ;

[0122] S1608 , depositing metal on the gate-source dielectric layer 10 and the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 to form a source metal layer 11 ;

[0123] S1609 , depositing metal on the back side of the substrate 2 to form a drain metal layer 1 .

[0124] It should be noted that the position of the third trench is the same as that of the first trench. Since the third trench does not include the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8 , the depth of the third trench is smaller than that of the first trench.

[0125] Fourthly, Figure 17As shown, the present application further provides a field effect transistor, which is manufactured based on the method for manufacturing a field effect transistor provided in the third aspect, comprising:

[0126] A drain metal layer 1, a substrate 2 and a first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 sequentially stacked on the drain metal layer 1;

[0127] an insulating dielectric layer 9 disposed on a side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2 , wherein a portion of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 is located between the insulating dielectric layers 9 ;

[0128] a gate polysilicon electrode 7, which is disposed on a side of the insulating dielectric layer 9 facing away from the substrate 2;

[0129] a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4, which is arranged on a side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2;

[0130] a second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5, which is arranged on a side of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 away from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, wherein the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 is located within the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4;

[0133] The source metal layer 11 is disposed on a side of the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 away from the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 , and the source metal layer 11 covers the gate-source dielectric layer and the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 .

[0134] The present application provides a method for manufacturing a field-effect transistor and a field-effect transistor. The manufacturing method forms a second conductive type semiconductor body region with different doping concentrations by ion implantation, without significantly increasing the manufacturing process and cost of the field-effect transistor. Due to the difference in doping concentration of the second conductive type semiconductor body region, the turn-on time between cells is different, which avoids the concentration of current and heat, enhances the thermal stability of the field-effect transistor, and increases the safe operating area. Compared with devices with virtual cells, its on-resistance is significantly reduced.
