Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor, in particular to a transistor device and a manufacturing method, a power module and a power conversion circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] Compared with Si, wide band gap semiconductor material SiC and GaN have about 3 times of band gap width, 10 times of critical breakdown field strength, and higher electron mobility. Therefore, SiC and GaN devices have higher voltage resistance, working frequency, efficiency and temperature resistance than Si devices. The power electronic system based on wide band gap semiconductor material SiC and GaN devices not only reduces the switching loss by more than half, but also has smaller volume, weight and comprehensive cost advantages, which is the development direction of the new generation of power electronic system.

[0003] Compared with the low channel mobility and gate reliability problem caused by the high MOS interface state of SiC MOSFET, there is no MOS gate structure in SiC junction field effect transistor (JFET), so the device is relatively simple and mature. The conventional SiC junction field effect transistor (JFET) is a trench type structure or a planar structure, which is connected by the P+ region of the gate to pinch off the N type region, so as to realize the turn-off of the device. However, due to the existence of the gate P+ region, the avalanche breakdown position when the device breaks down is often at the edge of the gate P+ region, and the avalanche current passes through the gate, which will damage the gate drive control chip. The invention of the junction field effect transistor device with avalanche capability has very important significance for the power electronic system using the junction field effect transistor device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which several embodiments of the present application are given, but the present application can be realized in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the text, on the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosed content of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0051] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can be a middle element, and when an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there can be a middle element, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for illustrative purposes.

[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The use herein of the terms "and / or" and "at least one of" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0053] As shown in Figure 1 Specific embodiments 1 provide a transistor device and manufacturing method, power module, power conversion circuit, device structure, the transistor device includes a first doped type substrate 100, a first doped type buffer layer 101 and a first doped type drift layer 102 which are stacked in sequence;

[0054] An array of active pillars is arranged in the first doped type drift layer 102, the top surface of the active pillars is flush with the top surface of the first doped type drift layer 102; the active pillars include first active pillars 102a and second active pillars 102b, gate trenches 21 are between the first active pillars 102a, source trenches 22 are between the second active pillars 102b, the depth of the source trenches 22 is greater than the depth of the gate trenches 21;

[0055] Both sides of the source trenches 22 are the gate trenches 21, one of the two sides of the gate trenches 21 is the gate trench 21 and the other is the source trench 22. By making the depth of the source trenches 22 greater than the depth of the gate trenches 21, the maximum electric field in the off state is constrained at the junction edge of the second type doped region at the bottom of the source trenches 22, effectively avoiding the concentration of high electric field in the gate region, thereby improving the voltage withstand capability and reliability of the device. This structure design makes the avalanche breakdown occur far away from the gate region, reducing the risk of avalanche current passing through the gate. At the same time, this structure can be realized by two-step etching under the same photolithography mask, simplifying the process flow.

[0056] Preferably, the depth of the source trenches 22 is greater than the depth of the gate trenches 21, so that the maximum electric field in the off state is at the junction edge of the second type doped region at the bottom of the source trenches 22.

[0057] Preferably, the bottom of the source trenches 22 is a multi-stage trench structure composed of multiple stepped trenches, second type doped ions are simultaneously implanted under the multi-stage trenches, forming a stepped P + region, which can disperse the concentration of electric field and improve the robustness of avalanche.

[0058] Preferably, the top of the mesa is a source ohmic contact 303 of the source region, the bottom of the source trench 22 is a source ohmic contact 302 of the source region, and the source ohmic contact 303 on the top of the mesa and the source ohmic contact 302 on the bottom of the source trench 22 are in electrical communication. The bottom of the gate trench 21 is a gate ohmic contact 301 of the gate region. The double-path conduction design (top of the mesa + bottom of the trench) effectively reduces the series resistance of the source region, and the source ohmic contact 302 on the bottom of the source trench 22 directly collects avalanche current, avoiding the current crowding effect in the traditional structure and improving the dynamic conduction characteristics. The source ohmic contact 303 and the source ohmic contact 302 are formed synchronously by a self-alignment process, eliminating the alignment error of the traditional step-by-step process and improving the process stability.

[0059] Preferably, the source ohmic contact 303 on the top of the mesa, the source ohmic contact 302 on the bottom of the source trench 22, and the gate ohmic contact 301 on the bottom of the gate trench 21 are formed simultaneously by a self-alignment process. The distance between the synchronously formed gate ohmic contact 301 and the source ohmic contact 302 is accurately controllable, effectively reducing the gate-source capacitance and switching loss. This process avoids short circuit defects caused by multiple photolithography alignments, improving production yield. Thermal annealing synchronously forms all ohmic contacts 301, 302, 303, improving the temperature characteristics of the contact resistance.

[0060] Preferably, there is a gate dielectric layer 201a on both sides of the inner sidewall of the gate trench 21, which protects the sidewall of the trench from forming an ohmic contact when the ohmic contact is formed on the bottom of the mesa and the gate trench 21, thereby avoiding gate-source short circuit on the sidewall of the trench.

[0061] Preferably, there is a metal layer 400 on the gate ohmic contact 301 on the bottom of the gate trench 21, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the entire gate.

[0062] Preferably, the gate ohmic contact 301 in the gate trench 21 and the source ohmic contact 303 on the mesa are isolated by a dielectric first isolation layer 500 and a second isolation layer 600, ensuring that the gate and the source are not short-circuited.

[0063] Preferably, the gate trenches 21 and the source trenches 22 are distributed in a certain proportion, and the number of gate trenches 21 is greater than or equal to that of source trenches 22. The N region between the two gate trenches 21 and the N-type region between the gate trench 21 and the source trench 22 are both conductive channels, which can be controlled by the gate voltage.

[0064] Specific embodiment 2 differs from embodiment 1 in that both sides of the gate trench 21 are gate trenches 21.

[0065] As shown in Figures 3-6 The present application also provides a manufacturing method of a transistor device, comprising:

[0066] Epitaxial growth of a first doped type buffer layer 101 and a first doped type drift layer 102 on a first doped type substrate 100. The concentration and thickness of the drift layer is determined by the breakdown voltage of the device design.

[0067] Further, a first doped type doping layer 103 is formed by implantation on the surface of the active region.

[0068] A dielectric mask 10 is formed on the surface. SiC surface is etched by plasma method to form SiC gate trench 21. Second type doping ion implantation is performed by vertical implantation and angle implantation to form second type doping first implantation region 104a on the bottom and sidewall of the gate trench 21 without dielectric mask on the active region. The region of the first doped type drift layer 102 between two gate trenches 21 forms a controllable conductive channel first active pillar 102a. The conductive channel can be depleted or turned on by applying a certain voltage between the gate and the source, thus achieving the control of the turn-off and turn-on of the device.

[0069] The mask is removed, RCA cleaning is performed, and a dielectric mask is formed on the surface. SiC surface is etched by plasma method to form source trench 22. The depth of the source trench 22 is greater than or equal to that of the gate trench 21.

[0070] Anisotropic etching of the dielectric layer is performed to etch away the dielectric on the bottom of the trench while retaining the dielectric on the sidewall as a protective layer for multi-stage trench etching. Plasma etching is performed to form a second stage trench on the bottom of the trench. In this way, a multi-stage trench can be formed. The thickness of the dielectric layer is determined by the width of the second stage trench. Second type doping ion implantation is performed by vertical implantation and angle implantation to form second type doping second implantation region 104b on the bottom and sidewall of the source trench 22. The region of the first doped type drift layer 102 between the gate trench 21 and the source trench 22 forms a controllable conductive channel second active pillar 102b. The conductive channel can be depleted or turned on by applying a certain voltage between the gate and the source, thus achieving the control of the turn-off and turn-on of the device.

[0071] All dielectric masks are removed, and the wafer is cleaned by RCA and buffer HF solvent. A thin layer of carbon film is isotropically deposited on the surface, including the mesa and the trench, and then high-temperature annealing is performed to activate the implanted ions, forming a high-efficiency doping. The annealing temperature is above 1500°C.

[0072] The wafer is cleaned by RCA. Sacrificial oxidation process is performed, i.e., thermal oxidation is performed first, and then acid is used for removal. Since the thermal oxidation rate of silicon carbide is relatively low, high-temperature thermal oxidation is required, and the thermal oxidation temperature is preferably greater than or equal to 1100°C. The sacrificial oxidation process can effectively remove or reduce the damage layer and roughness of the sidewall caused by etching.

[0073] A thermal oxidation process is performed to grow a dense thin oxide layer on the SiC surface, further reducing sidewall defects and protecting the sidewalls.

[0074] An isotropically deposited dielectric layer, such as SiO2, is then anisotropically etched away from the top of the mesa and the bottom of the trench, while retaining the dielectric on the sidewalls. This forms a gate dielectric layer 201a on the sidewalls of the gate trench 21 and a source dielectric layer 201b on the sidewalls of the source trench 22.

[0075] A metal layer is deposited and thermally annealed so that the metal at the top of the mesa and the bottom of the trench reacts with the SiC to form an ohmic contact, while the metal does not react with the dielectric on the sidewalls. An acid solution is used to selectively remove the metal on the sidewalls, leaving the ohmic contact metal after the reaction. Annealing is performed again at a higher annealing temperature than the previous temperature to further improve the ohmic contact. A gate ohmic contact 301 is formed at the bottom of the gate trench 21, a source ohmic contact 302 is formed at the bottom of the source trench 22, and a source ohmic contact 303 is formed on the top of the mesa.

[0076] Metal is deposited and etched back to form a metal layer 400 on the bottom ohmic contact metal in the gate trench 21 and the source trench 22. The metal layer 400 in the gate trench 21 helps reduce the gate resistance of the chip, and the metal layer 400 in the source trench 22 helps reduce the resistance of the avalanche current from the bottom of the source trench 22 to the source.

[0077] A dielectric is deposited and etched back to form a first isolation layer 500 on the metal in the gate trench 21 and the source trench 22. The first isolation layer 500 in the gate trench 21 isolates the gate and source, and also reduces the difficulty of subsequent dielectric filling of the trench.

[0078] like Figure 8 As shown, a second dielectric isolation layer 600 is deposited to fill the trench, and a portion of the dielectric on the mesa is selectively removed using photolithography and etching, exposing the source ohmic contact 303 metal in the middle of the mesa. The second isolation layer 600 further isolates the gate and source. Source and gate metal blocks 700 are deposited and etched for electrical connection to external circuits in chip applications. A dielectric layer is then deposited and etched to form a passivation layer, followed by a polyimide protective layer.

[0079] The back of the wafer is thinned to remove most of the substrate and retain only part of the supporting layer to further reduce the resistance of the substrate. Metal is deposited and laser annealed to form an ohmic contact. A thick block metal 800 is then made on the back of the wafer for electrical connection with the external circuit.

[0080] Preferably, the heavily doped first-doping type doped layer 103 at the top of the mesa overlaps to a certain extent with the gate dielectric layer 201a on the sidewall of the gate trench 21. That is, the bottom of the heavily doped first-doping type doped layer 103 at the top of the mesa is lower than the highest point of the gate dielectric layer 201a on the sidewall of the gate trench 21. This prevents simultaneous ohmic contact between the first-doping type doped layer 103 at the top of the mesa and the second-doping type first implanted region 104a on the sidewall, thereby preventing a short circuit between the source and the gate.

[0081] Preferably, the first active pillar 102a and the second active pillar 102b in the conductive channel region between the two trenches are subjected to ion implantation of the first type of doping to increase the doping concentration of the conductive channel, thereby further reducing the on-resistance.

[0082] like Figure 9 As shown. The device structure of the specific embodiment 3 of the present application is similar to that of the embodiment 1. The difference from the embodiment 1 is that the structure inside the source trench 22 is inconsistent with the gate trench 21. The block metal 700 fills the source trench 22 and is directly connected to the source ohmic contact 302 inside the source trench 22, which can further reduce the on-resistance between the bottom of the source trench 22 and the source. The device preparation method is similar to that of the embodiment 1. The difference from the embodiment 1 is that after the ohmic contact process is completed for the source trench 22 and the gate trench 21 at the same time, the process of the source trench 22 and the gate trench 21 are separated. The structure inside the gate trench 21 is completed first. Before making the metal pad, the source trench 22 is opened and the source trench 22 is filled at the same time when the block metal 700 is deposited.

[0083] The present application also provides a power module comprising: at least one semiconductor device as described above;

[0084] A substrate is used to carry the semiconductor device.

[0085] The present application also provides a power conversion circuit, which is used for one or more of current conversion, voltage conversion, and power factor correction;

[0086] The power conversion circuit includes a circuit board and at least one semiconductor device as described above, wherein the semiconductor device is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0087] The present application also provides a vehicle comprising: a load and the power conversion circuit as described above, wherein the power conversion circuit is used to convert AC power into DC power, convert AC power into AC power, convert DC power into DC power, or convert DC power into AC power and then input it into the load.

[0088] The application is described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the specific implementation of the application is not limited to the above-described manner, and as long as such non-essential improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solutions of the application, or the concept and technical solutions of the application are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the application.
