Detailed Implementation

[0059] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0060] 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 herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.

[0061] It is understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., used herein may be used to describe various films, regions, and structures, but these films, regions, and structures are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one film, region, or structure from another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first sub-gate may be referred to as a second sub-gate, and similarly, a second sub-gate may be referred to as a first sub-gate. Both the first sub-gate and the second sub-gate are sub-gates, but they are not the same sub-gate.

[0062] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising / including” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Meanwhile, the term “and / or” as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0063] When SEE occurs, a large number of electron-hole pairs are generated inside the trench MOSFET device. Since the mobility of electrons is much higher than that of holes, electrons are instantly removed from the drain, while holes slowly move to the vicinity of the trench gate and accumulate, resulting in an increase in the gate electric field strength, which can easily lead to gate breakdown.

[0064] Based on this, this application provides a trench-type semiconductor field-effect transistor, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a substrate 100, a drift region 200, a first well region 310, a second well region 320, a trench gate 400, a carrier extraction structure 500, and a source metal layer 600.

[0065] The substrate 100 has a first conductivity type. The material of the substrate 100 may be silicon carbide doped with ions of the first conductivity type.

[0066] The drift region 200 is located on the substrate 100 and has a first conductivity type. The material of the drift region 200 can be any suitable drift region 200 material in the art, which can be the same as or different from the material of the substrate 100.

[0067] The first well region 310 is located on the side of the drift region 200 away from the substrate 100 and has a second conductivity type. The second conductivity type is the opposite of the first conductivity type. For example, the first conductivity type is N-type and the second conductivity type is P-type. The second well region 320 is located on the side of the drift region 200 away from the substrate 100, spaced apart from the first well region 310, and has a second conductivity type. The first well region 310 and the second well region 320 can be formed by ion implantation into the drift region 200.

[0068] The trench gate 400 is located between the first well region 310 and the second well region 320.

[0069] The carrier extraction structure 500 extends through the trench gate 400 along a first direction and covers at least a portion of the surface of the trench gate 400 near the substrate 100, and has a second conductivity type. The first direction is along the thickness direction of the substrate 100. The carrier extraction structure 500 can also be formed by ion implantation of the drift region 200.

[0070] The source metal layer 600 covers the first well region 310, the second well region 320, the trench gate 400, and the carrier extraction structure 500. The source metal layer 600 can be any suitable conductive material known in the art, such as copper, titanium, aluminum, etc.

[0071] In this embodiment, a current extraction structure is provided that penetrates the trench gate 400, and the current extraction structure 500 covers at least a portion of the bottom surface of the trench gate 400 and is in contact with the source metal layer 600. In this way, when SEE occurs, holes can be quickly extracted to the source metal layer 600 by the current extraction structure 500, which can prevent holes from accumulating at the bottom of the trench gate 400 and improve the device's SEE resistance.

[0072] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cell structure also includes a JFET region 700. The JFET region 700 is located on the side of the first well region 310 near the substrate 100 and the side of the second well region 320 near the substrate 100, respectively, and has a first conductivity type. The JFET region 700 can also be formed by ion doping the drift region 200.

[0073] In one embodiment, the carrier extraction structure 500 is in contact with the JFET region 700, and the ion doping concentration of the carrier extraction structure 500 is greater than the ion doping concentration of the JFET region 700.

[0074] The ion doping concentration of the carrier extraction structure 500 is greater than that of the JFET region 700 and also greater than that of the drift region 200. Since the carrier extraction structure 500 has a second conductivity type, while the JFET region 700 and the drift region 200 have a first conductivity type, a built-in electric field is formed between the carrier extraction structure 500, the JFET region 700, and the drift region 200. Under the action of this built-in electric field, holes are more efficiently attracted to the carrier extraction structure 500, thus achieving rapid hole extraction.

[0075] In one embodiment, the ion doping concentration of JFET region 700 is 1×10⁻⁶. 16 cm -3 ~1×10 18 cm -3 For example, the ion doping concentration of JFET region 700 can be 1 × 10⁻⁶. 16 cm -3 5×10 16 cm -3 1×10 17 cm -3 5×10 16 cm -3 1×10 18 cm-3 Etc. The ion doping concentration of carrier extraction structure 500 is greater than 1 × 10⁻⁶. 18 cm -3 For example, it can be 2×10 18 cm -3 1×10 19 cm -3 1×10 20 cm -3 wait.

[0076] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the trench-type semiconductor field-effect transistor also includes a source doped region 800 of a first conductivity type. The source doped regions 800 are located on the side of the first well region 310 away from the JFET region 700 and the side of the second well region 320 away from the JFET region 700, respectively.

[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the trench-type semiconductor field-effect transistor also includes a heavily doped region 900 of a second conductivity type, which is located on the side of the source doped region 800 away from the trench gate 400.

[0078] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the trench-type semiconductor field-effect transistor also includes a drain metal layer 1000. The drain metal layer 1000 is located on the side of the substrate 100 away from the drift region 200.

[0079] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the trench gate 400 includes a first sub-gate 410 and a second sub-gate 420. The first sub-gate 410 extends along a second direction, and the second sub-gate 420 extends along a third direction, intersecting each other. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions.

[0080] The first sub-gate 410 and the second sub-gate 420 form a grid-like structure, and the first well region 310 and the second well region 320 are alternately disposed within the grid of the grid-like structure.

[0081] Both the first sub-gate 410 and the second sub-gate 420 include an oxide layer and a gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer is located between the carrier extraction structure 500 and the well region, and the oxide layer surrounds the gate dielectric layer. The material of the gate dielectric layer can be a suitable gate dielectric material in the art, such as High-K dielectric, Low-K dielectric, polysilicon, etc. The material of the oxide layer can be silicon oxide, silicon oxycarbide, silicon oxynitride, etc. The oxide layer located between the gate dielectric layer and the carrier extraction structure, and between the gate dielectric layer and the well region, can serve as the gate oxide layer.

[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the carrier extraction structure 500 includes a first extraction section 510, a second extraction section 520, and a third extraction section 530.

[0083] The first extraction portion 510 covers the surface of the first sub-gate 410 near the substrate 100 and the surface of the second sub-gate 420 near the substrate 100. The second extraction portion 520 penetrates the first sub-gate 410 along a first direction and extends along a second direction. The third extraction portion 530 penetrates the second sub-gate 420 along the first direction and extends along the second direction, intersecting with the second extraction portion 520.

[0084] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the carrier extraction structure 500 includes a first extraction section 510 and a fourth extraction section 540.

[0085] The first extraction portion 510 is located on the surface of the first sub-gate 410 near the substrate 100 and the surface of the second sub-gate 420 near the substrate 100. The fourth extraction portion 540 extends through the intersection region of the first sub-gate 410 and the second sub-gate 420 along the first direction.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the carrier extraction structure 500 includes a first extraction section 510, a fourth extraction section 540, a fifth extraction section 550, and a sixth extraction section 560.

[0087] The first extraction portion 510 is located on the surface of the first sub-gate 410 near the substrate 100 and the surface of the second sub-gate 420 near the substrate 100. The fourth extraction portion 540 penetrates the intersection region of the first sub-gate 410 and the second sub-gate 420 along a first direction. The fifth extraction portion 550 penetrates the first sub-gate 410 along the first direction and is spaced apart from the fourth extraction portion 540. The sixth extraction portion 560 penetrates the second sub-gate 420 along the first direction and is spaced apart from the fourth extraction portion 540.

[0088] In one embodiment, the carrier extraction structure 500 includes a first extraction section 510 and a fourth extraction section 540. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Unlike the trench-type semiconductor field-effect transistor shown, in this embodiment, the fourth extraction portion 540 still penetrates the intersection region of the first sub-gate 410 and the second sub-gate 420 along the first direction, but the first extraction portion 510 is located in the intersection region of the first sub-gate 410 and the second sub-gate 420, on the surface near the substrate 100.

[0089] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a method for fabricating a trench-type semiconductor field-effect transistor, which includes steps S100-S700.

[0090] S100 provides a substrate of the first conductivity type.

[0091] S200, a drift region of the first conductivity type is formed on the substrate.

[0092] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the drift region 200 can be formed on the substrate 100 by an epitaxial growth process.

[0093] S300, a doped pillar of the second conductivity type is formed in the drift region.

[0094] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a doped column 501 can be formed in the drift region through ion implantation and annealing.

[0095] S400, a first trench and a second trench are formed in the doped column, the first trench and the second trench are spaced apart, and a doped column is located between the first trench and the second trench.

[0096] The doped pillars at the bottom of the first trench and the bottom of the second trench, and the doped pillars between the first trench and the second trench, constitute the carrier extraction structure 500. The first trench and the second trench can be formed by etching within the doped pillars using photolithography and etching processes. Optionally, a portion of the drift region 200 near the doped pillars can also be etched to form the first channel and the second trench.

[0097] S500, a first split gate is formed in a first trench, and a second split gate is formed in a second trench, the first split gate and the second split gate constituting a trench gate.

[0098] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a first split gate 401 can be formed in the first trench and a second split gate 402 can be formed in the second trench through a deposition process.

[0099] S600, a first well region is formed on the side of the first split gate away from the second split gate, and a second well region is formed on the side of the second split gate away from the first split gate.

[0100] like Figure 11 As shown, a first well region 310 can be formed on the side of the first split gate 401 away from the second split gate 402 by ion implantation, and a second well region 320 can be formed on the side of the second split gate 402 away from the first split gate 401.

[0101] Before step S600, a JFET region 700 can be formed on the side of the first split gate 401 away from the second split gate 402 and on the side of the second split gate 402 away from the first split gate 401 by an ion implantation process.

[0102] After S600, a heavily doped region 900 and a source doped region 800 can be formed on the side of the first well region 310 and the second well region 320 away from the JFET region 700 by ion implantation process.

[0103] Subsequently, an insulating layer 1100 can be formed on the surface of the heavily doped region 900, the source doped region 800, the trench gate 400, and the carrier extraction structure 500 by a deposition process.

[0104] S700 forms a source metal layer on the exposed surfaces of the first well region, the second well region, the trench gate, and the carrier extraction structure.

[0105] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the insulating layer 1100 can be etched first, leaving only a portion of the insulating layer on the surface of the trench gate 400, and the source metal layer 600 can be formed in the area where the insulating layer 1100 has been removed. Then, the drain metal layer 1000 can be formed on the side of the substrate 100 away from the drift region 200.

[0106] In this embodiment, a substrate 100 of a first conductivity type is provided, a drift region 200 of the first conductivity type is formed on the substrate 100, a doped pillar 501 of the second conductivity type is formed within the drift region 200, a first trench and a second trench are formed within the doped pillar 501, a first split gate 401 is formed within the first trench, and a second split gate 402 is formed within the second trench. The first split gate 401 and the second split gate 402 constitute a trench gate 400. The doped pillar at the bottom of the trench gate 400 and the doped pillar between the first trench and the second trench constitute a carrier extraction structure 500. A first well region 310 is formed on the side of the split gate 401 away from the second split gate 402, and a second well region 320 is formed on the side of the second split gate 402 away from the first split gate 401. A source metal layer 600 is formed on the exposed surfaces of the first well region 310, the second well region 320, the trench gate 400, and the carrier extraction structure 500. The fabrication process is simple. Furthermore, when SEE occurs, holes can be quickly extracted to the source metal layer 600 by the carrier extraction structure 500, which can prevent holes from accumulating at the bottom of the trench gate 400, improve the device's SEE resistance, and enhance the device's reliability.

[0107] In one embodiment, the trench-type semiconductor field-effect transistor of this application was tested, and the current density distribution obtained was as follows: Figure 12As shown, it can be clearly seen that when SEE occurs, the hole current flows through the carrier extraction structure 500 to the source metal layer 600, which avoids the accumulation of holes at the bottom of the trench gate 400, improves the device's SEE resistance, and enhances the device's reliability.
