Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular to a thyristor chip, a thyristor and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Thyristor chip is a three-terminal four-layer semiconductor device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the three ends of the conventional thyristor are respectively an anode metal 31, a cathode metal 32, and a gate metal 33 (including an amplifying gate metal 34), and the four layers are respectively: an anode P-type layer 35 of a deep diffusion layer, a low-resistance N-type base region 36, a P-type base region 37 of a deep diffusion layer, and a high-concentration cathode N-type region 38 diffused to form an ohmic contact metal electrode on the anode P-type layer 35 and the cathode N-type region 38 as the anode and cathode terminals respectively, and an ohmic contact metal electrode is led out from the P-type base region 37 as the gate.

[0003] The rate of rise of the on-state current of the thyristor, di / dt, refers to the maximum rate of rise of the on-state current that the thyristor can withstand and will not cause damage to the thyristor when the thyristor changes from blocking to conducting. That is, at the moment when the thyristor is triggered to conduct, if the rate of increase of the anode current (di / dt) is too large, even if the current value does not exceed the rated value of the component, the internal current of the thyristor will not have time to expand to the PN junction surface and burn out due to excessive current density. Therefore, when using thyristors, the current rise rate of the circuit cannot be greater than the rate of rise of the on-state current of the thyristor, di / dt, otherwise the thyristor will be damaged.

[0004] The turn-on process of thyristors includes three stages: delay, rise, and expansion. In the delay stage, the voltage on the device is high, but the current is small, so the instantaneous power is small; in the rise stage, the voltage across the device drops rapidly, the current rises sharply, and the instantaneous power is maximum; in the expansion stage, the voltage drops slowly, and the current is basically maintained at a stable current value, and its instantaneous power is much smaller than that in the rise stage. Because the conduction current in the rise stage is concentrated in the initial conduction area, the higher the di / dt, the earlier the peak of the instantaneous power is, and the more concentrated it is on the smaller initial conduction area.

[0005] The di / dt that a thyristor can withstand is related not only to the size and expansion speed of the initial conduction area, but also to the heat capacity of the conduction area. Since silicon has a small specific heat, a small heat capacity, and a low thermal conductivity (148W / mk), at the extreme of the rise, most of the heat generated by the current is concentrated in the conduction area, and only a small amount of heat can be transferred out, causing the temperature of the conduction area to rise rapidly. When the temperature reaches a certain critical value, the hot carriers have exceeded the injected carriers, which leads to thermal feedback. The larger the current, the higher the temperature, and the lower the body resistance of the conduction area. At this time, a larger current will flow through the area, so that the temperature will rise further. In this cycle, the current will be concentrated at a certain point with the highest temperature in a short time, forming a hot spot, which will make the device unable to work normally or even burn out. According to relevant literature, the damage temperature caused by the di / dt failure of the opening is in the range of 1100℃ to 1300℃. This temperature is only slightly lower than the melting point of silicon (1415°C), or the temperature caused by the fault far exceeds the melting point of the metal-semiconductor contact, causing the device to burn out in a very short time. The usual phenomenon of di / dt damage is a small but obvious hole burned near the gate.

[0006] The existing methods of improving the di / dt of thyristors include: strong triggering to increase the expansion speed; measures to improve the design of photolithography patterns to increase the length of the initial conduction line; measures to improve the crystal orientation, cross-sectional resistivity uniformity, and residual minority carrier lifetime of single crystal materials; design issues to coordinate di / dt and dv / dt, etc. There are also methods that use thermal conductive paste to cover the silicon between the gate cathode electrodes and other measures to effectively improve the di / dt capability of thyristors. .

[0007] Improving the ability of thyristors to withstand di / dt without changing the mature thyristor design and process and without affecting the various performance parameters of the thyristors has always been a technical problem that technical personnel in the field want to solve. Therefore, a new structure and manufacturing method that can improve the thyristor's ability to withstand di / dt without greatly increasing the cost is needed. Summary of the invention

[0086] This embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a thyristor chip, comprising the following steps:

[0087] Step 1: synchronously forming an anode P-type layer 35 and a P-type base region 37 on the lower surface and upper surface of an N-type substrate respectively.

[0089] Specifically, after the upper surface of the P-type base region 37 is photolithographically processed, ions are injected at the corresponding position to form a cathode N-type region 38 that does not completely cover the P-type base region 37, wherein the cathode N-type region 38 includes a cathode emitter N-type region 381 and a gate N-type region 382 that is closer to the center of the chip in a direction parallel to the surface of the P-type base region 37.

[0090] Step 3, simultaneously forming ohmic contact electrode metals on the cathode emitter N-type region 381, the P-type base region 37, the gate N-type region 382 and under the anode P-type layer 35, wherein a cathode metal 32 is formed on the cathode emitter N-type region 381 to expose a portion of the upper surface of the cathode emitter N-type region 381, and an amplified gate metal 34 is formed on the upper surface of the P-type base region 37 to contact both the P-type base region 37 and the gate N-type region 382, ​​and a central gate metal 33 is formed on the upper surface of the P-type base region 37 that is not in contact with the gate N-type region 382, ​​and an anode metal is formed under the anode P-type layer.
