Detailed implementation manners

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0032] It should be noted that, without conflict in structure or function, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0033] The present invention proposes a power semiconductor device integrated with a gate drive chip 200, where the power semiconductor device here is an IGBT transistor, as Figure 1 shown, the IGBT transistor includes an IGBT chip 100, a gate drive chip 200, and a dielectric isolation layer 300. The dielectric isolation layer 300 is vertically arranged, and the IGBT chip 100 and the gate drive chip 200 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the dielectric isolation layer 300. The main component of the dielectric isolation layer 300 is silicon dioxide, and its thickness is generally between 50 nm and 100 nm, playing an insulating isolation role between the two. A gate 106 is arranged near the dielectric isolation layer 300 on the IGBT chip 100, and a drive output terminal is arranged near the dielectric isolation layer 300 on the gate drive chip 200. The gate 106 and the drive output terminal are electrically connected, specifically, the two are connected through a resistor, so as to realize the drive of the IGBT transistor by the gate drive chip 200.

[0034] The power semiconductor device of the present invention integrates the IGBT chip 100 and the gate drive chip 200, and the isolation between the two is achieved through the dielectric isolation layer 300, thereby effectively reducing the volume of the two separate chips, and thus reducing the PCB wiring area applied to control circuits such as PFC circuits. Moreover, due to the integration of the IGBT chip 100 and the gate drive chip 200, the transmission distance of the drive signal transmitted from the gate drive chip 200 to the IGBT chip 100 is greatly shortened, thereby improving the anti-interference ability of the gate drive circuit where the gate drive chip 200 is located, and contributing to improving the working reliability of the control circuit. Further, since the gate 106 of the IGBT chip 100 and the drive output pole of the gate drive chip 200 are both arranged close to the dielectric isolation layer 300, the signal line connecting the two is further shortened, thereby further reducing the transmission distance of the drive signal, and thus further improving the anti-interference ability of the gate drive circuit.

[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the internal circuit of the gate drive chip 200 includes a power supply circuit 220, a Schmitt circuit 230, a filtering circuit 240, a level conversion circuit 250, and a half-bridge drive circuit 260. Among them, the power supply circuit 220 converts the input power supply, such as boosting or bucking it into a stable direct current, to provide power for the operation of other circuits. The Schmitt circuit 230 realizes signal shaping, converting the input control signal into a regular square wave. The output end of the Schmitt circuit 230 is connected to the filtering circuit 240 to further filter out the interference clutter in the square wave signal. The output end of the filtering circuit 240 is connected to the level conversion circuit 250 to boost the square wave signal to meet the level requirements for driving the subsequent stage. The output end of the level conversion circuit 250 is connected to the half-bridge drive circuit 260. The half-bridge drive circuit 260 is mainly composed of a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) unit composed of a PMOS (Positive-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor, P-channel metal oxide semiconductor) transistor and an NMOS (Negative-channel-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, N-channel metal oxide semiconductor) transistor to realize the half-bridge drive function. Among them, the output end HO is the output pole where the source of the PMOS transistor and the drain of the NMOS transistor are commonly connected.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2As shown, the IGBT chip 100 and the gate driver chip 200 include a common P-type substrate 420, and a common buried oxide layer 410 is disposed on the front surface of the P-type substrate 420. The IGBT chip 100 includes LIGBT cells, and the gate driver chip 200 includes a drive signal processing unit and a gate driver unit. The LIGBT cells and the CMOS cells are disposed on the surface of the buried oxide layer 410, and the LIGBT cells and the CMOS cells are respectively disposed on both sides of the dielectric isolation layer 300. Among them, the drive signal processing unit mainly includes the power supply circuit 220, the Schmitt circuit 230, the filter circuit 240, and the level conversion circuit 250 mentioned in the above embodiments, and the gate driver unit is mainly composed of CMOS cells.

[0037] Among them, the P-type substrate 420 is made of a P-type silicon wafer with a relatively low doping concentration. For example, the silicon wafer material can be pure silicon or synthetic silicon such as silicon, silicon carbide, silicon germanide, etc. For example, the P-type substrate 420 can be a silicon substrate. The buried oxide layer 410, as an insulating isolation layer, can be made of silicon dioxide, and its thickness is generally 2 μm. The LIGBT cell is the main unit that constitutes the IGBT chip 100 to perform its functions, and its structure can be a lateral or vertical structure. In this embodiment, it is a lateral structure, that is, an LIGBT cell. A collector 102, a gate 106, and an emitter 109 are disposed on the front surface of the LIGBT cell, and the gate 106 is disposed close to the dielectric isolation layer 300. The CMOS cell is the gate driver unit of the gate driver chip 200, and the drive output terminal of the gate driver chip 200 is the output terminal HO of the gate driver unit. The positive power supply and the negative power supply of the CMOS cell are respectively connected to the positive electrode VB of the high-voltage direct current and the negative electrode VS of the high-voltage direct current.

[0038] Specifically, as Figure 2As shown, the LIGBT cell includes a first N-type drift region 101, and an N-type buffer region 104, a collector region 103, a first P-well region 110, an emitter region 108, a gate dielectric layer 107, and a gate 106 formed on the front surface of the first N-type drift region 101. The collector region 103 is disposed within the N-type buffer region 104, and the emitter region 108 is disposed within the first P-well region 110. The first N-type drift region 101 is an N-type with a low doping concentration, and the bottom surface of the first N-type drift region 101 is connected to the surface of the dielectric isolation layer 300. On the front surface of the first N-type drift region 101, the N-type buffer region 104, the collector region 103, the first P-well region 110, and the emitter region 108 made of silicon material can be fabricated through a photolithography and diffusion process respectively. The N-type buffer region 104 is an N-type with a low doping concentration. The collector region 103 is disposed within the N-type buffer region 104 and is a P-type with a high doping concentration. The first P-well region 110 serves as a local substrate and is a P-type with a relatively low doping concentration. The emitter region 108 is disposed within the first P-well region 110 and is an N-type with a high doping concentration. The first P-well region 110 is disposed close to the dielectric isolation layer 300, so that the emitter region 108 located in the first P-well region 110 is disposed close to the dielectric isolation layer 300. The N-type buffer region 104 functions to increase the distance between the electric ions in the depletion region of the PN junction during conduction, that is, to reduce the electric field strength under the same conduction voltage, thereby increasing the on-resistance of the LIGBT cell during conduction and avoiding too rapid a change in dv / dt.

[0039] Furthermore, a relatively thin first insulating layer 105 is also disposed on the surface of the first N-type drift region 101. The first insulating layer 105 can be made of silicon dioxide material. A conducting electrode passing through the first insulating layer 105 is disposed on the surface of the collector region 103 to form a collector 102, that is, the collector 102 is connected to the surface of the collector region 103. Conducting electrodes passing through the first insulating layer 105 are disposed on the surfaces of the emitter region 108 and the first P-well region 110 to form an emitter 109, that is, the emitter 109 is simultaneously connected to the surfaces of the first P-well region 110 and the emitter region 108. A gate dielectric layer 107 passing through the first insulating layer 105 is also disposed on the front surface of the first P-well region 110, and a gate 106 connected to the gate dielectric layer 107 is disposed above the first insulating layer 105. The gate 106, the collector 102, and the emitter 109 are made of a metal material such as aluminum or conductive polysilicon.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the CMOS cell includes a second N-type drift region 26H, a second P-well region 26E, a first body region 261, a first source region 263, a first drain region 266, a second source region 269, a second drain region 26A, and a second body region 26C. The second N-type drift region 26H and the first N-type drift region 101 are arranged in parallel. The second N-type drift region 26H is a low-doped N-type, and the two are isolated by a dielectric isolation layer 300. On the front surface of the second N-type drift region 26H, the above-mentioned second P-well region 26E, first body region 261, first source region 263, N-type gate dielectric layer 265, first drain region 266, second source region 269, P-type gate dielectric layer 26F, second drain region 26A, and second body region 26C made of silicon material can be fabricated through a photolithography and diffusion process. The second P-well region 26E serves as a local substrate, which is a P-type with a relatively low doping concentration. The first body region 261, first source region 263, and first drain region 266 are located within the second P-well region 26E. The first body region 261 is a P-type with a high doping concentration, and the first source region 263 and first drain region 266 are N-types with a high doping concentration. The second source region 269 and second drain region 26A are P-types with a high doping concentration, and the second body region 26C is an N-type with a high doping concentration.

[0041] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown in the figure, a second insulating layer 26D is provided on the surface of the second N-type drift region 26H. The second insulating layer 26D and the first insulating layer 105 can be integrally formed. A conducting electrode penetrating the second insulating layer 26D is provided on the surfaces of the first body region 261 and the first source region 263 to form an N-type source electrode 262. The N-type source electrode 262 is simultaneously connected to the first body region 261 and the first source region 263. The N-type source electrode 262 serves as the negative power supply of the CMOS cell and is connected to the negative electrode VS of the high-voltage direct current. A conducting electrode penetrating the second insulating layer 26D is provided on the surface of the first drain region 266 to form an N-type drain electrode 267. An N-type gate dielectric layer 265 penetrating the second insulating layer 26D is provided between the first source region 263 and the first drain region 266. The second insulating layer 26D is provided with an N-type gate 264 connected to the N-type gate dielectric layer 265. A conducting electrode penetrating the second insulating layer 26D is provided on the surface of the second source region 269 to form a P-type source electrode 268. The P-type source electrode 268 is electrically connected to the N-type drain electrode 267. The electrical connection method can be through a wire connection, or as Figure 2The two electrodes are directly connected as shown. The electrode formed by electrically connecting the P-type source 268 and the N-type drain 267 serves as the output terminal HO of the gate driving unit. A conductive electrode penetrating the second insulating layer 26D is provided on the surfaces of the second drain region 26A and the second body region 26C to form a P-type drain 26B, and the P-type drain 26B is connected to both the second drain region 26A and the second body region 26C. A P-type gate dielectric layer 26F penetrating the second insulating layer 26D is provided between the second source region 269 and the second drain region 26A, and a P-type gate 26G connected to the P-type gate dielectric layer 26F is provided on the surface of the second insulating layer 26D. Among them, the N-type source 262, the N-type gate 264, the N-type drain 267, the P-type source 268, the P-type drain 26B, and the P-type gate 26G are made of a metal material such as aluminum or conductive polysilicon. The N-type gate 264 and the P-type gate 26G are simultaneously connected to the components of other circuits of the gate driving chip 200, specifically to the output terminal of the level conversion circuit 250. Figure 2 The structures of other circuit components of the gate driving chip 200 are not shown. The electrode formed by electrically connecting the P-type source 268 and the N-type drain 267 is connected to the gate of the LIGBT cell through a metal wire connection resistor R1 to form a driving connection between the gate driving chip 200 and the IGBT chip 100. Further, by reasonably designing the gate oxide length parameters of the two gates of the CMOS cell to adjust the resistance of the gate conduction, thereby controlling the current passing through the gate during conduction, the connection resistor R1 can also be removed.

[0042] The present invention also proposes a PFC circuit applying the above-mentioned power semiconductor device, such as Figure 4 shown, including the power semiconductor device mentioned in the above embodiment composed of the gate driving chip 200 and the IGBT chip 100, specifically an IGBT tube. The collector 102 of the IGBT tube is simultaneously connected to the cathode of the freewheeling diode D1, the anode of the output diode D2, and one end of the energy storage inductor L1. The emitter 109 of the IGBT tube is simultaneously connected to the anode of the freewheeling diode D1 and the negative electrode of the electrolytic capacitor C1. The cathode of the output diode D2 is connected to the positive electrode of the electrolytic capacitor C1. By integrating the gate driving chip 200 and the IGBT chip 100 inside the IGBT tube, the PCB wiring of the PFC circuit is effectively reduced, thereby reducing the PCB board area of the PFC circuit, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the corresponding controller. At the same time, due to the integration of the gate driving chip 200 and the IGBT chip 100, the length of the driving signal connecting the two is greatly shortened, the transmission distance of the driving signal can be effectively reduced, and the anti-interference ability of the gate driving circuit can be further improved, thereby improving the working reliability of the PFC circuit.
