Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power semiconductor device technology, and in particular to a shielded gate trench field-effect transistor with low on-resistance and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] Split-gate trench field-effect transistors (SGTs) have been widely used in important low-voltage applications such as power management. SGTs feature high channel density and good charge compensation. Furthermore, their shielded gate structure effectively isolates the coupling between the control gate and drain, thus significantly reducing transfer capacitance.
[0003] Therefore, SGT has lower specific on-resistance, lower conduction and switching losses, and higher operating frequency.
[0004] In SGT devices, due to the electric field concentration effect and the high polysilicon doping concentration of the shielding gate, when the SGT device is forward blocked, the charge flux emitted by the ionized donors in the breakdown region is concentrated at the corner of the trench shielding gate, resulting in a higher peak voltage at the corner of the trench shielding gate, and it is also easier to be broken down at this point.
[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the withstand voltage at the corner of the trench shielding gate in SGT devices, it is urgent to design a new type of shielding gate trench field-effect transistor. Summary of the Invention

[0025] A second aspect of this application provides a method for fabricating a shielded gate trench field-effect transistor with low on-resistance, used to fabricate a shielded gate trench field-effect transistor with low on-resistance as described in any one of the first aspects of this application, comprising:

[0040] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects:
[0041] In traditional SGTs, the shielding gate is made of heavily doped polysilicon. When the transistor is forward-blocked, parasitic capacitance exists between the depletion layer in the shielding gate and the substrate region. This parasitic capacitance slows down the switching speed of the transistor in a traditional transistor.
[0042] Therefore, in this application, the shielding gate has a variable doping concentration structure, with the doping concentration decreasing progressively from top to bottom. When the transistor is forward-biased, the doping concentration of the shielding gate is lower in the portion near the substrate region. Consequently, the portion of the shielding gate near the substrate region is more easily depleted under the same applied voltage, meaning that the portion near the substrate region has a thicker depletion layer width. Since the width of the depletion layer is inversely proportional to the size of the parasitic capacitance, the parasitic capacitance formed between the shielding gate and the substrate region in this embodiment is smaller, weakening the parasitic capacitance between the shielding gate and the substrate region, thereby improving the switching speed of the device.

[0051] Example 1
[0052] In SGT devices, due to the electric field concentration effect and the high polysilicon doping concentration of the shielding gate, the parasitic capacitance formed between the shielding gate and the substrate region is large when the SGT device is forward blocked, which reduces the switching speed of the transistor.
[0053] Therefore, to improve the switching speed of SGT devices, it is necessary to reduce the parasitic capacitance formed between the shielding gate and the substrate region. This application provides a shielded gate trench field-effect transistor with low on-resistance.
[0054] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shielded gate trench field-effect transistor with low on-resistance shown in an embodiment of this application.
[0055] See Figure 1 The low on-resistance shielded gate trench field-effect transistor shown in this application embodiment includes:
[0056] Substrate region 1, drift region 2, substrate region 3, source region 4, trench region 5, drain 6, and source 7;
[0057] The drift region 2 is connected to the substrate region 1, with the direction from the substrate region 1 to the drift region 2 as the top, and the substrate region 3 and the source region 4 are sequentially disposed above the drift region 2;
[0058] The trench region 5 is disposed on the side of the substrate region 3 and is connected to the drift region 2, the substrate region 3 and the source region 4 respectively;
[0059] The trench region 5 includes a shielding gate 51, a control gate 52, an insulating layer 53, and a metal gate; the control gate 52 and the shielding gate 51 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the trench region 5 and are separated by the insulating layer 53; the control gate 52 is connected to the substrate region 3 and the source region 4 respectively through the insulating layer 53, and the shielding gate 51 is connected to the drift region 2 through the insulating layer 53;
[0060] The shielding gate 51 has a variable doping concentration structure, and the doping concentration of the shielding gate 51 decreases step by step from top to bottom;
[0061] The source region 4 is composed of an N-type source region 41 and a P-type source region 42; the P-type source region 42, the N-type source region 41 and the trench region 5 are arranged sequentially along the top surface of the substrate region 3, and the N-type source region 41 is connected to the control gate through the insulating layer 53.
[0062] The source electrode 7 is disposed above the source region 4.
[0063] In this embodiment, the substrate region 1 is doped with N-type doping and has a heavy doping concentration; the drift region 2 is doped with N-type doping and has a light doping concentration; the substrate region 3 is doped with P-type doping and has a medium doping concentration; the source region 4 has a heavy doping concentration; and the control gate 52 has a heavy doping concentration, and the control gate 52 is doped with either P-type or N-type doping.
[0064] In this embodiment, the light doping concentration ranges from 1×10⁻⁶. 15 cm -3 Up to 5×10 16 cm -3 The doping concentration ranges from 1×10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 Up to 5×10 18 cm -3 The range of heavily doped concentration is 1×10. 19 cm -3 Up to 5×10 20 cm -3 .
[0065] In the embodiments of this application, the doping type of the shielding gate is P-type doping or N-type doping.
[0066] Furthermore, the doping concentration of the shielding gate can be either heavily doped or moderately doped.
[0067] In traditional SGTs, the shielding gate is made of heavily doped polysilicon. When the transistor is forward-blocked, parasitic capacitance exists between the depletion layer in the shielding gate and the substrate region. This parasitic capacitance slows down the switching speed of the transistor in a traditional transistor.
[0068] Therefore, in this embodiment, the shielding gate is a variable doping concentration structure, with the doping concentration decreasing progressively from top to bottom. When the transistor is forward-biased, the doping concentration of the shielding gate is lower in the portion near the substrate region. Consequently, the portion of the shielding gate near the substrate region is more easily depleted under the same applied voltage, meaning it has a thicker depletion layer width. Since the width of the depletion layer is inversely proportional to the size of the parasitic capacitance, the parasitic capacitance formed between the shielding gate and the substrate region in this embodiment is smaller, weakening the parasitic capacitance between the shielding gate and the substrate region, thereby improving the switching speed of the device.
[0069] Example 2
[0070] Based on the transistor described in Embodiment 1, due to the electric field concentration effect, when the SGT device is forward blocked, the charge flux emitted by the ionized donors in the withstand voltage region is concentrated at the corner of the trench shielding gate, resulting in a higher peak voltage at the corner of the trench shielding gate.
[0071] Therefore, to improve the breakdown voltage of SGT devices, it is necessary to reduce the electric field strength at the corners of the shielding gate in the trench region. This application provides a shielding gate trench field-effect transistor with low on-resistance.
[0072] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shielded gate trench field-effect transistor with low on-resistance shown in an embodiment of this application.
[0073] See Figure 1 The low on-resistance shielded gate trench field-effect transistor shown in this application embodiment includes:
[0074] Substrate region 1, drift region 2, substrate region 3, source region 4, trench region 5, drain 6, and source 7;
[0075] The drift region 2 is connected to the substrate region 1, with the direction from the substrate region 1 to the drift region 2 as the top, and the substrate region 3 and the source region 4 are sequentially disposed above the drift region 2;
[0076] The trench region 5 is disposed on the side of the substrate region 3 and is connected to the drift region 2, the substrate region 3 and the source region 4 respectively;
[0077] The trench region 5 includes a shielding gate 51, a control gate 52, an insulating layer 53, and a metal gate; the control gate 52 and the shielding gate 51 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the trench region 5 and are separated by the insulating layer 53; the control gate 52 is connected to the substrate region 3 and the source region 4 respectively through the insulating layer 53, and the shielding gate 51 is connected to the drift region 2 through the insulating layer 53;
[0078] In this embodiment, the shielding gate 51 is a variable doping concentration structure, and the doping concentration of the shielding gate 51 decreases gradually from top to bottom.
[0079] Furthermore, the shielding gate 51 includes a first-level shielding gate 510, a second-level shielding gate 511, and a third-level shielding gate 512; the first-level shielding gate 510 has a heavily doped concentration; the second-level shielding gate 511 has a medium doped concentration; and the third-level shielding gate 512 has a low doped concentration.
[0080] In this embodiment, the third-level shielding gate is disposed at the bottom of the shielding gate, close to the substrate region, and the doping concentration of the third-level shielding gate is low. Therefore, when the transistor is forward-blocked, the third-level shielding gate is more easily depleted under the same applied voltage, resulting in a thicker depletion layer width. Consequently, the parasitic capacitance formed between the third-level shielding gate and the substrate region is smaller, weakening the parasitic capacitance between the shielding gate and the substrate region, thereby improving the switching speed of the device.
[0081] The source region 4 is composed of an N-type source region 41 and a P-type source region 42; the P-type source region 42, the N-type source region 41 and the trench region 5 are arranged sequentially along the top surface of the substrate region 3, and the N-type source region 41 is connected to the control gate through the insulating layer 53.
[0082] The source electrode 7 is disposed above the source region 4.
[0083] It should be noted that the doping concentration and arrangement of the substrate region 1, drift region 2, substrate region 3, source region 4 and trench region 5 in this embodiment are the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0084] In this embodiment, to improve the withstand voltage capability of the SGT device, it is necessary to reduce the electric field strength at the corner of the trench shielding gate. Further, the insulating layer 53 includes a low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer 531 and an oxide sublayer 532. The control gate 52 is connected to the substrate region 3 through the oxide sublayer 532; the shielding gate 51 is connected to the drift region 2 through the low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer 531. The bottom surface of the low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer 531 is on the same plane as the bottom surface of the drift region 2.
[0085] In this embodiment, the shielding gate is connected to the drift region via a low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer. Since the low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer can withstand a certain lateral voltage drop compared to the oxide sublayer under the same lateral voltage, when the transistor is forward-blocked, the low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer can suppress the lateral depletion effect between the drift region and the shielding gate, thereby weakening the electric field strength at the corner of the trench region's shielding gate and improving the trench region's withstand voltage at the corner.
[0086] Example 3
[0087] Corresponding to the low on-resistance shielded gate trench field-effect transistor shown in Embodiment 1, this application also provides a method for fabricating a low on-resistance shielded gate trench field-effect transistor and corresponding embodiments.
[0088] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the fabrication method of a shielded gate trench field-effect transistor according to an embodiment of this application.
[0089] like Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the fabrication method of the low on-resistance shielded gate trench field-effect transistor includes the following steps:
[0090] 201. Fabrication of substrate regions using semiconductor materials;
[0091] In the embodiments of this application, the substrate region is prepared using N-type heavily doped semiconductor material, that is, the doping type of the substrate region is N-type doping, and the doping concentration of the substrate region is the heavy doping concentration.
[0092] 202. A drift region is epitaxially formed on the substrate region;
[0093] In the embodiments of this application, different epitaxial processes can be used according to actual needs, including but not limited to: vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
[0094] 203. A matrix region is formed on the drift region by ion implantation or diffusion;
[0095] Ion implantation is a process of doping silicon materials. In practical applications, the power device is placed at one end of the ion implanter, and the dopant ion source is placed at the other end. At the dopant ion source, the dopant atoms are ionized, thus acquiring a certain charge. They are then accelerated to ultra-high speed by an electric field, penetrating the product surface and using their momentum to implant the dopant atoms into the power device, forming a doped region.
[0096] Diffusion is a process of incorporating pure impurity atoms into the surface of silicon materials. In practical applications, diborane or phosphine are usually used as ion sources, and pure impurity atoms are incorporated into the surface of silicon materials through intermittent diffusion or substitutional diffusion.
[0097] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not have strict limitations on the preparation method of the substrate region. In actual process, different processes described above can be selected to complete the preparation of the substrate region according to actual needs.
[0098] 204. Etch grooves on the side of the drift zone;
[0099] In this embodiment, a trench is etched on one side of the drift region using photolithography, and the residual photoresist is removed by wet etching or dry etching.
[0100] 205. Oxide, polysilicon, oxide, polysilicon and oxide are deposited sequentially in the trench to form an insulating layer, a shielding gate and a control gate;
[0101] Preferably, in this embodiment of the application, oxide, heavily doped polysilicon, oxide and heavily doped polysilicon are sequentially deposited in the trench to form the shielding gate, insulating layer and control gate.
[0102] In this embodiment, the doping concentration of the shielding gate decreases gradually from top to bottom, that is, the doping concentration of the portion of the shielding gate near the control gate is the highest, while the doping concentration of the portion of the shielding gate near the substrate region is the lowest.
[0103] 206. A source region is formed on the matrix region;
[0104] 207. Deposit metal on the source region to form a source electrode;
[0105] 208. Fabricate the drain below the substrate region.
[0106] In traditional SGTs, the shielding gate is made of heavily doped polysilicon. When the transistor is forward-blocked, parasitic capacitance exists between the depletion layer in the shielding gate and the substrate region. This parasitic capacitance slows down the switching speed of the transistor in a traditional transistor.
[0107] Therefore, in this embodiment, the shielding gate is a variable doping concentration structure, with the doping concentration decreasing progressively from top to bottom. When the transistor is forward-biased, the doping concentration of the shielding gate is lower in the portion near the substrate region. Consequently, the portion of the shielding gate near the substrate region is more easily depleted under the same applied voltage, meaning it has a thicker depletion layer width. Since the width of the depletion layer is inversely proportional to the size of the parasitic capacitance, the parasitic capacitance formed between the shielding gate and the substrate region in this embodiment is smaller, weakening the parasitic capacitance between the shielding gate and the substrate region, thereby improving the switching speed of the device.
[0108] Example 4
[0109] Corresponding to the low on-resistance shielded gate trench field-effect transistor shown in Embodiment 2, this application also provides a method for fabricating a low on-resistance shielded gate trench field-effect transistor and corresponding embodiments.
[0110] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the fabrication method of a shielded gate trench field-effect transistor with low on-resistance, as shown in an embodiment of this application.
[0111] like Figure 3 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0112] 301. Fabrication of a substrate region using semiconductor materials;
[0113] 302. A drift region is epitaxially formed on the substrate region;
[0114] 303. A matrix region is formed on the drift region by ion implantation or diffusion;
[0115] 304. Etch grooves on the side of the drift zone;
[0116] 305. A low dielectric constant dielectric, polysilicon and another low dielectric constant dielectric are sequentially deposited in the trench to form a low dielectric constant sublayer, a first-level shielding gate, a second-level shielding gate and a third-level shielding gate.
[0117] In this embodiment, the first-level shielding gate has a high doping concentration, the second-level shielding gate has a medium doping concentration, and the third-level shielding gate has a low doping concentration.
[0118] 306. Oxide, polysilicon and oxide are sequentially deposited on the low dielectric constant sublayer to form an oxide sublayer and a control gate;
[0119] In this embodiment, the low dielectric sublayer and the oxide sublayer constitute the insulating layer.
[0120] 307. A source region is formed on the matrix region;
[0121] 308. Deposit metal on the source region to form a source electrode;
[0122] 309. Fabricate the drain below the substrate region.
[0123] In this embodiment, to improve the breakdown voltage of the SGT device, it is necessary to reduce the electric field strength at the corner of the trench shielding gate. Further, the control gate is connected to the substrate region through the oxide sublayer; the shielding gate is connected to the drift region through the low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer. The bottom surface of the low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer and the bottom surface of the drift region are on the same plane.
[0124] In this embodiment, the shielding gate is connected to the drift region via a low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer. Since the low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer can withstand a certain lateral voltage drop compared to the oxide sublayer under the same lateral voltage, when the transistor is forward-blocked, the low-dielectric-coefficient sublayer can suppress the lateral depletion effect between the drift region and the shielding gate, thereby weakening the electric field strength at the corner of the trench region's shielding gate and improving the trench region's withstand voltage at the corner.
