Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of manufacturing MOSFET devices, and in particular to a super junction trench gate MOSFET and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Trench gate MOSFET devices are widely used in power conversion circuits and are often used in power switching devices. The on-resistance (Rsp) and breakdown voltage (BV) of the trench gate are one of its important parameter indicators. Obtaining a higher breakdown voltage and lower Rsp can improve the competitiveness of the product. In order to improve the on-resistance of the medium and high voltage (50V~200V) trench gate, the concept of super junction-trench gate MOSFET was proposed.

[0003] Taking an N-channel trench gate as an example, an epitaxial layer is formed on a highly doped substrate, a trench gate is formed in the epitaxial layer, a gate dielectric layer is formed between the trench gate and the epitaxial layer, and a P-type ion implantation region (P-pillar) with auxiliary drift region depletion is formed on both sides of the trench gate. In order to improve the characteristics of the super junction-trench gate MOSFET device, the bottom end of the P-pillar is currently placed as close to the highly doped substrate as possible, so that the concentration of the entire epitaxial layer can be increased.

[0004] However, the P-pillar formed by the ion implantation process requires a very thick photoresist / hard mask (3000KeV P-type ions require 5um) for high-energy P-type ion implantation. Therefore, for small-sized cells, high-energy implantation will be limited by the aspect ratio. At the same time, it also makes the P-pillar too close to the gate dielectric layer, which significantly increases the resistance of the device's accumulation region, resulting in an increase in the device's on-resistance.

[0067] For details, please refer to Figure 2-Figure 11 , Figure 2-Figure 11 Schematic diagram of semiconductor structure in each process step of preparing super junction trench gate MOSFET according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment takes N-type channel SJ-TGMOSFET as an example to elaborate on the preparation method of super junction trench gate MOSFET.

[0068] First, if Figure 2As shown, a substrate 101 is provided, an epitaxial layer 102 is formed on the front side of the substrate 101, a trench is formed in the epitaxial layer 102, a gate dielectric layer 104 and a trench gate 105 are formed in the trench, the gate dielectric layer 104 covers the bottom wall and side wall of the trench, the trench gate 105 covers the gate dielectric layer 104 and fills the trench, and a body region 106 is also formed in the epitaxial layer 102, and the upper surface of the body region 106 is flush with the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 102. Specifically, the conductivity type of the doped ions of the substrate is N-type, preferably, the substrate 101 is a highly doped N-type substrate, the epitaxial layer 102 can be an N-type epitaxial layer, which can also be called an N-type drift region, wherein the doping concentration of the N-type impurities can be 5E15atoms / cm 3 ~1E17 atoms / cm 3 .

[0069] Then, if Figure 3 As shown, a first silicon oxide layer 201 and a silicon nitride layer 202 are formed in sequence, wherein the first silicon oxide layer 201 covers the body region 106, the gate dielectric layer 104 and the trench gate 105, and the silicon nitride layer 202 covers the first silicon oxide layer 201. Specifically, the thickness of the first silicon oxide layer 201 is The thickness of the silicon nitride layer 202 is

[0070] Then, if Figure 4 As shown, a mask structure is formed, and the mask structure is located on the silicon nitride layer 202 above the trench gate 105. Specifically, the step of forming a mask structure, and the mask structure is located on the silicon nitride layer 202 above the trench gate 105 includes:

[0071] Step 1: forming a second silicon oxide layer 203, wherein the second silicon oxide layer 203 covers the silicon nitride layer 202. Specifically, the thickness of the second silicon oxide layer 203 may be 2 μm to 5 μm.

[0072] Step 2: forming a photoresist layer 204, wherein the photoresist layer 204 covers the second silicon oxide layer 203. Specifically, the thickness of the photoresist layer 204 may be 0.5 μm to 3 μm.

[0073] Step three: remove the photoresist layer 204 and the second silicon oxide layer 203 above the body region 106 by photolithography and etching processes, and retain the remaining photoresist layer 204 and the second silicon oxide layer 203 on the silicon nitride layer 202 above the trench gate 105 to obtain the mask structure.

[0074] Further, such as Figure 5As shown, an ion implantation process is used to form two high-energy implantation regions 103-1 in the epitaxial layer 201 on both sides of the mask structure (the remaining photoresist layer 204 and the second silicon oxide layer 203), and the high-energy implantation region 103-1 is close to the lower surface of the epitaxial layer 102. Specifically, a p-type impurity (e.g., boron ion) implantation process is used to form two symmetrical high-energy implantation regions 103-1 in the epitaxial layer 102 on the trench side, wherein the ion implantation concentration of the high-energy implantation region 103-1 may be 2E12atoms / cm 2 ~2E13atoms / cm 2 , the injection energy is greater than or equal to 1000KeV~3000KeV.

[0075] Then, if Figure 6 As shown, a portion of the mask structure is removed and a third silicon oxide layer 205 is formed, and the third silicon oxide layer 205 covers the remaining mask structure and the silicon nitride layer 202. Specifically, the photoresist layer 204 is removed, and the third silicon oxide layer 205 is deposited on the surface of the silicon nitride layer 202 and the surface of the second silicon oxide layer 203. The thickness of the third silicon oxide layer 205 is

[0076] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, an ion implantation process is used to form two low-energy implantation regions 103-2 in the epitaxial layer 102 and the body region 106 on both sides of the remaining thickness of the mask structure, and the low-energy implantation region 103-2 is located on the high-energy implantation region 103-1. Specifically, the distance between each of the low-energy implantation regions 103-2 and the gate dielectric layer 104 is greater than the distance between each of the high-energy implantation regions 103-1 and the gate dielectric layer 104. A p-type impurity (e.g., boron ion) implantation process is used to form two symmetrical low-energy implantation regions in the epitaxial layer and the body region on the trench side, wherein the ion implantation concentration of the low-energy implantation region is 2E12atoms / cm 2 ~2E13atoms / cm 2 , the injection energy is less than or equal to 200KeV~2500KeV.

[0077] In this embodiment, based on the thickness of the third silicon oxide layer 205 and the ion implantation opening of the high energy implantation area 103-1, the ion implantation opening of the low energy implantation area 103-2 is self-aligned. It can be seen that the difference between the distance between each low energy implantation area 103-2 and the gate dielectric layer 104 and the distance between each high energy implantation area 103-1 and the gate dielectric layer 104 is equal to the thickness of the third silicon oxide layer 205.

[0078] Then, if Figure 8 As shown, the third silicon oxide layer 205, the remaining thickness of the mask structure (the second silicon oxide layer 203), and the silicon nitride layer 202 are removed. Specifically, first, the silicon nitride layer 202 is used as an etching barrier layer to etch away the third silicon oxide layer 205 and the remaining thickness of the mask structure (the second silicon oxide layer 203), and then the silicon nitride layer 202 is etched away.

[0079] Further, such as Figure 8 As shown, an N-type heavily doped region 108 is formed in the body region 106 by an ion implantation process. Fig. 9 As shown, after the heavily doped region 108 is formed in the body region 106 by an ion implantation process, the method for preparing the super junction trench gate MOSFET may further include:

[0080] Step (1): using a patterned photoresist layer (not shown) to etch the heavily doped region 108 and a portion of the body region 106 to obtain a contact hole 109;

[0081] Step (2): using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask, an ion implantation process is performed to form a diffusion region 107 in the body region 106, wherein the diffusion region 107 is located at the bottom end of the contact hole 109;

[0082] Step (3): performing a thermal annealing process on the diffusion region 107, the high energy injection region 103-1 and the low energy injection region 103-2 to activate the diffusion region 107, the high energy injection region 103-1 and the low energy injection region 103-2;

[0083] Step (4): Filling the contact hole 109 with metal to obtain a metal plug, which can lead out the heavily doped region 108 and the diffusion region 107.

[0084] Then, if Fig.10 As shown, an interlayer dielectric layer 110 is formed, and the interlayer dielectric layer 110 covers a portion of the surface of the gate dielectric layer 104 , the trench gate 105 , and the heavily doped region 108 .

[0085] Finally, if Fig.11 As shown, a source metal layer 111 and a drain metal layer 112 are formed, wherein the source metal layer 111 covers the remaining surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 110 and the heavily doped region 108 and the surface of the metal plug (contact hole 109 ), and the drain metal layer 112 covers the back side of the substrate 101 .

[0086] In the present application, after the high-energy injection region 103-1 is injected, the remaining thickness of the mask structure (the second silicon oxide layer 203) and the third silicon oxide layer 205 are used as masks for injection to form a low-energy injection region 103-2, so that the injection opening of the low-energy injection region 103-2 is reduced, and the low-energy injection region 103-2 is further away from the gate dielectric layer 104 than the high-energy injection region 103-1. In this way, the on-resistance of the accumulation region (the overlap of the trench gate and the epitaxial layer, which can be understood as the lower half structure of the trench gate 105) can be improved, thereby reducing the on-resistance of the device and improving the reliability and safety of the device.
