[0002] Compared with traditional trench transistors, shielded gate trench field-effect transistors have higher channel density and better charge compensation effect. Their shielded gate structure effectively reduces the transfer capacitance, so it has lower specific on-resistance, smaller conduction and switching losses, and higher operating frequency. Therefore, it is widely used in important fields such as power management.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] When the breakdown voltage is less than 300V, especially when the breakdown voltage is less than 100V or even less than 40V, the channel region and the drift region have comparable specific on-resistance. The structural improvement of the drift region has a significant effect on improving the breakdown voltage of the transistor, but has a lower impact on the specific on-resistance of the channel region, which cannot meet the demand of low-voltage shielded gate trench field-effect transistors for reducing the specific on-resistance.

[0039] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a shielded gate trench field effect transistor with a variable doping structure, which can effectively reduce the specific on-resistance of the channel region.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a shielded gate trench field effect transistor with a variable doping structure shown in an embodiment of the present application.

[0042] See also Figure 1 The variable doping structure shielded gate trench field effect transistor comprises:

[0043] Substrate region 1, drift region 2, shield gate 4, control gate 5, body region 6, source region 7, insulating layer 3, source electrode 8, drain electrode 9 and metal gate 10;

[0044] The drift region 2, the base region 6, the source region 7, and the source electrode 8 are sequentially arranged above the substrate region 1, the drain electrode 9 is arranged below the substrate region 1, the control gate 5 and the shield gate 4 are arranged on the same side of the drift region 2 from top to bottom, and the control gate 5 is respectively attached to the base region 6 and the source region 7 through the insulating layer 3, and the shield gate 4 is attached to the drift region 2 through the insulating layer 3;

[0045] The doping types of the substrate region 1, the drift region 2 and the source region 7 are all the first doping type; the doping type of the base region 6 is the second doping type; the doping concentrations of the substrate region 1 and the source region 7 are both greater than the doping concentration of the drift region 2; the base region 6 includes several layers of doping distribution layers distributed from top to bottom; the doping concentrations of the several layers of doping distribution layers decrease linearly from top to bottom.

[0046] Furthermore, the doping type of the shield gate 4 and the control gate 5 is the second doping type.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, the first doping type and the second doping type are N-type doping and P-type doping, respectively; or the first doping type and the second doping type are P-type doping and N-type doping, respectively. In actual applications, the setting of the doping type can be adjusted according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the plurality of doping distribution layers may be distributed at equal or unequal intervals. Preferably, the plurality of doping distribution layers are distributed at equal intervals in the base region, that is, the thickness of each doping distribution layer in the plurality of doping distribution layers is equal.

[0049] Preferably, the thickness of the doping distribution layer is 0.5 μm.

[0050] For example, the first doping type and the second doping type are N-type doping and P-type doping respectively:

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the base region 6 forms a variable doping structure with a uniformly decreasing doping concentration along the direction of the source region 7 pointing to the drift region 2. A longitudinal variable doping structure is introduced through the base region 6. When the transistor is in an avalanche state, the P-type doped base region 6 and the N-type doped drift region 2 are reverse biased. After the N-type doped drift region 2 is exhausted, electron-hole pairs are generated. When the holes flow into the P-type doped base region 6, the longitudinal variable doping structure introduces a self-built electric field along the direction of increasing doping concentration. The holes are accelerated under the action of the self-built field, so that the voltage caused by the holes flowing into the P-type doped base region 6 is small, which helps to suppress the opening of the doping distribution layer junction with the highest doping concentration in the N-type heavily doped source region 7 and the P-type doped base region 6, and is beneficial to improving the avalanche capability of the device.

[0052] In actual application, the number of doping distribution layers can be designed according to actual needs, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] An embodiment of the present application provides a shielded gate trench field effect transistor with a variable doping structure, which adopts a longitudinal variable doping structure in the base region, that is, the doping concentration of the base region decreases uniformly along the direction from the source region to the drift region. According to the Poisson equation, the electric field in the channel region changes from a uniformly doped approximately triangular distribution to an approximately rectangular distribution. When the transistor is in forward conduction, the electric field in the channel region is modulated to improve the overall electric field in the channel region, so that the carriers in the channel region can reach velocity saturation more evenly, thereby obtaining a shorter channel length, thereby reducing the specific on-resistance of the channel region; when the transistor is in an avalanche state, the self-built electric field along the direction of increasing concentration introduced by the longitudinal variable doping structure accelerates the hole drift motion, reduces the voltage drop of the hole current along the base region, effectively suppresses the opening of the parasitic transistor in the base region, and improves the avalanche capability of the device.

[0078] Ion implantation is the process of doping silicon materials. In practice, a power device is placed at one end of an ion implanter, with a doping ion source located at the other. At the doping ion source, the dopant atoms are ionized, becoming charged and accelerated to ultra-high speeds by the electric field. They then penetrate the surface of the device, using their momentum to inject the doping atoms into the power device, forming a doped region.

The method adopts a longitudinal variable doping structure in the substrate region, and according to the Poisson equation, changes the electric field in the channel region from a uniformly doped approximately triangular distribution to an approximately rectangular distribution. When the transistor is in forward conduction, the electric field in the channel region is modulated to improve the overall electric field in the channel region, so that the carriers in the channel region can reach velocity saturation more evenly, thereby obtaining a shorter channel length, thereby reducing the specific on-resistance of the channel region; when the transistor is in an avalanche state, the self-built electric field along the direction of increasing concentration introduced by the longitudinal variable doping structure accelerates the hole drift motion, reduces the voltage drop of the hole current along the substrate region, effectively suppresses the opening of the parasitic transistor in the substrate region, and improves the avalanche capability of the device.
