[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor device manufacturing, and in particular relates to a silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device. Background Art

[0002] Power electronics technology has become one of the important supporting technologies of modern industrial society. Semiconductor technology, especially silicon carbide semiconductor devices, is widely used in various fields of industrial and agricultural production, transportation, national defense, aerospace, petroleum refining, nuclear industry and energy industry. With the development of industrial technology, improving efficiency has become an important development direction of semiconductor technology. Improving efficiency means that under the condition of obtaining the same output power and meeting the load requirements, the loss is lower, the heat is less, and the design pressure of the heat dissipation system is reduced. From the perspective of long-term energy consumption, it can reduce the consumption of electric energy and achieve the effect of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0003] At present, the measure to improve the efficiency of silicon carbide semiconductor devices, with silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor devices as a typical example, is to reduce the forward working voltage, and the main method of reducing the working voltage is to increase the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer (second electron type semiconductor layer) and reduce the thickness of the epitaxial layer (second electron type semiconductor layer). However, although increasing the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer (second electron type semiconductor layer) and reducing the thickness of the epitaxial layer (second electron type semiconductor layer) can quickly and effectively reduce the forward working voltage, it will also reduce the breakdown voltage, which has an adverse effect on the reverse working characteristics of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device, affecting the further improvement of the working efficiency of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device. Summary of the invention

[0012] Furthermore, the first electron-type semiconductor layer and the second electron-type semiconductor layer are both formed of N-type silicon carbide semiconductor material, and the first hole-type semiconductor layer and the second hole-type semiconductor layer are both formed of P-type silicon carbide semiconductor material.

[0013] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device is provided, wherein the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device is the above-mentioned silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device, and the manufacturing method comprises: step 1, preparing a first electron type semiconductor layer; step 2, preparing a second electron type semiconductor layer and a hole type semiconductor semi-finished layer connected to the side of the second electron type semiconductor layer on the upper surface of the first electron type semiconductor layer; step 3, converting the hole type semiconductor semi-finished layer into a first hole type semiconductor layer and a second hole type semiconductor layer arranged on the upper surface of the first hole type semiconductor layer; step 4, preparing a cathode electrode layer, a first anode structure and a second anode structure on the first electron type semiconductor layer, the second hole type semiconductor layer and the second electron type semiconductor layer, respectively.

When the cathode electrode layer is connected to a positive voltage and the second anode structure is connected to a negative voltage, that is, when a bias voltage is applied to the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device, a reverse biased PN junction will be generated at the contact surface between the first hole-type semiconductor layer and the second hole-type semiconductor layer and the second electron-type semiconductor layer, and as the voltage increases, the PN junction depletion layer increases, and the free charges in the second electron-type semiconductor layer can be gradually depleted, so that the second electron-type semiconductor layer is close to the intrinsic semiconductor layer, and a very high lateral electric field is generated, thereby improving the withstand voltage level of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device, that is, improving the breakdown voltage. In other words, the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device and its manufacturing method provided by the present invention can solve the problem that the existing silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device is difficult to increase the breakdown voltage while reducing the forward working voltage, thereby reducing the forward conduction loss of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device and improving the working efficiency of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device.

The anode electrode layer includes a first anode structure 51 and a second anode structure 52, the first anode structure 51 is separated from the second anode structure 52, the first anode structure 51 is arranged on the second electron type semiconductor layer 2 and is in Schottky contact with the second electron type semiconductor layer 2, and the second anode structure 52 is arranged on the second hole type semiconductor layer 4 and is in Schottky contact between the second hole type semiconductor layer 4. The cathode electrode layer 6 is disposed on the lower surface of the first electron type semiconductor layer 1 and makes ohmic contact with the first electron type semiconductor layer 1. The doping concentration of the first electron type semiconductor layer 1 is greater than the doping concentration of the second electron type semiconductor layer 2, and the doping concentration of the first hole type semiconductor layer 3 is less than the doping concentration of the second hole type semiconductor layer 4.

[0024] like Figure 2a to Figure 2i As shown, the manufacturing method of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100 includes: step 1, preparing a first electronic type semiconductor layer 1 (see Figure 2a ); Step 2, preparing a second electron type semiconductor layer 2 and a hole type semiconductor semi-finished layer 7 connected to the side of the second electron type semiconductor layer 2 on the upper surface of the first electron type semiconductor layer 1 (see Figure 2g ); Step 3, the hole-type semiconductor semi-finished product layer 7 is transformed into a first hole-type semiconductor layer 3 and a second hole-type semiconductor layer 4 provided on the upper surface of the first hole-type semiconductor layer 3 (see Figure 2h ); Step 4, respectively prepare a cathode layer 6, a first anode structure 51 and a second anode structure 52 on the first electron type semiconductor layer 1, the second hole type semiconductor layer 4 and the second electron type semiconductor layer 2 (see Figure 2i ).

[0025] like Figure 2a-2gAs shown, in step 2, the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2 and the hole-type semiconductor semi-finished product layer 7 are jointly formed by a stacked composite structure 7a, and the manufacturing steps of each composite structure 7a include: step 2.1, depositing a silicon carbide layer 7b on the first electron-type semiconductor layer 1 or the previous composite structure 7a, and performing N-type doping on it; step 2.2, depositing a buffer layer 8 (also known as an oxide layer) on the silicon carbide layer 7b; step 2.3, depositing a barrier layer 9 (for example, a polysilicon layer) on the buffer layer 8; step 2.4, etching and P-doping the barrier layer 9, the buffer layer 8 and the silicon carbide layer 7b in sequence to make the silicon carbide layer 7b into a composite structure 7a, and finally removing the buffer layer 8 and the barrier layer 9 on the composite structure by etching.

When the first anode structure 51 is connected to a positive voltage and the cathode electrode layer 6 is connected to a negative voltage, the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100 is forward-conducted, and a PN junction is formed in the contact area between the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2 and the first hole-type semiconductor layer 3 and between the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2 and the second hole-type semiconductor layer 4, preventing the electrons in the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2 from entering the first and second hole-type semiconductor layers 3 and 4, and forcing the electrons to be evenly distributed in the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2, so that the resistance during forward conduction can be reduced, the forward working voltage can be reduced, and the loss of forward conduction can be reduced, thereby improving the working efficiency. When the cathode electrode layer 6 is connected to a positive voltage and the second anode structure 52 is connected to a negative voltage, that is, when a bias voltage is applied to the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100, a reverse biased PN junction will be generated at the contact surface of the first hole-type semiconductor layer 3 and the second hole-type semiconductor layer 4 with the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2, and as the voltage increases, the PN junction depletion layer increases, and the free charges in the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2 can be gradually depleted, so that the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2 is close to the intrinsic semiconductor layer, and a very high lateral electric field is generated, thereby improving the withstand voltage level of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100, that is, improving the breakdown voltage. Therefore, the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100 and the manufacturing method thereof provided by the present invention can solve the problem that the existing silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device is difficult to reduce the forward working voltage and improve the breakdown voltage at the same time, thereby reducing the loss of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device in the forward conduction and improving the working efficiency of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device. The silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100 has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, is safe and reliable to use, and is easy to implement and promote.

The doping concentration of the second hole-type semiconductor layer 4 is 1e19-1e21 cm -3 The thickness is 0.8-1.1 μm. The doping concentration of the first electron type semiconductor layer 1 is 1e20-1e21 cm -3 The thickness is 2-3 μm. The doping concentration of the second electron type semiconductor layer 2 is 1e15-1e16 cm -3 , and its thickness is 3-4μm. Among them, the contact surface between the first hole-type semiconductor layer 3 and the second hole-type semiconductor layer 4 is preferably arc-shaped. The first electron-type semiconductor layer 1 and the second electron-type semiconductor layer 2 are both formed of N-type silicon carbide semiconductor material, and the first hole-type semiconductor layer 3 and the second hole-type semiconductor layer 4 are both formed of P-type silicon carbide semiconductor material, because silicon carbide semiconductor material has the advantages of large bandgap width, high breakdown field strength, high saturated electron drift velocity and high thermal conductivity.

[0028] In this embodiment, the materials of the cathode electrode layer 6, the first anode structure 51 and the second anode structure 52 all include titanium, nickel and / or silver, the thickness of the cathode electrode layer 6 is 4-5 μm, the thickness of the first anode structure 51 is 4-5 μm, and the thickness of the second anode structure 52 is 4-5 μm, wherein the cathode electrode layer 6, the first anode structure 51 and the second anode structure 52 are all prepared by magnetron sputtering process, and the cathode electrode layer 6 is annealed at 800-1000°C to achieve ohmic contact, and the first anode structure 51 and the second anode structure 52 are annealed at 400-600°C to achieve Schottky contact. In a preferred embodiment, the materials of the cathode electrode layer 6, the first anode structure 51 and the second anode structure 52 are nickel-silver alloy with low cost and good performance.

[0029] Next, the performance of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor devices prepared in the aforementioned embodiment (referred to as embodiment 1) and the comparative example was tested.

[0030] Experimental equipment: Keysight 1505A is used for the performance test of silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor devices.

[0031] The silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100 of Example 1 includes a 2μm thick first electron type semiconductor layer 1, a 3.5μm thick second electron type semiconductor layer 2, a 5um thick first hole type semiconductor layer 3, a 0.8um thick second hole type semiconductor layer 4, a 1μm thick anode electrode layer (including a 1μm thick first anode structure 51 and a 1μm thick second anode structure 52) and a 1μm thick cathode electrode layer 6.

The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that the anode electrode layer 5a of Comparative Example 1 is an integrated structure.

The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that the anode electrode layer 5b of Comparative Example 2 is an integrated structure, the thickness of the second electron type semiconductor layer 2b is 5 μm, and Comparative Example 2 does not have a first hole type semiconductor layer.

[0034] The test results are shown in Table 1:

[0036] It can be seen from this that the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is equivalent to adding a first hole-type semiconductor layer 3 to the prior art and decomposing the structure of the anode electrode layer, which can not only effectively increase its breakdown voltage while reducing the forward operating voltage of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100, but also effectively reduce the overall thickness of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100, thereby promoting the development of semiconductor devices towards thinner directions, and making them suitable for thinner changes in electronic products.

[0037] In summary, the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device 100 and its manufacturing method of the embodiment of the present invention can solve the problem that the existing silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device is difficult to increase the breakdown voltage while reducing the forward operating voltage, thereby reducing the forward conduction loss of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device and improving the working efficiency of the silicon carbide Schottky semiconductor device.
