Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power semiconductor technology, specifically a P+ shielding layer self-clamping trench silicon carbide IGBT device. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) is a representative of third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials, possessing characteristics such as a large bandgap, high critical avalanche breakdown field strength, high thermal conductivity, and strong radiation resistance, making it a promising candidate for high-voltage, high-power systems. IGBT devices combine the advantages of simple drive circuitry of MOS field-controlled structures and strong bipolar on-state conduction capability, resulting in low conduction losses, high blocking voltage, fast switching speed, good high-temperature performance, and strong radiation resistance. SiC IGBTs mainly come in two types: planar gate and trench gate. Planar gate SiC IGBTs exhibit a JFET effect in the adjacent P-well region, significantly increasing their forward conduction voltage; while trench gate SiC IGBTs eliminate the JFET effect, increasing channel density and further enhancing the near-surface carrier concentration.
[0003] Although trench-gate silicon carbide IGBTs are more effective at mitigating the trade-off between on-state voltage drop and switching losses, when the IGBT is in the forward blocking state, the blocking voltage is borne by the P-well region and the reverse-biased PN junction in the drift region. When the device is at critical breakdown, the electric field strength in the gate oxide layer is much higher than the peak electric field strength in silicon carbide, approximately 2.5 times that of silicon carbide, leading to a sharp increase in the risk of failure due to gate oxide layer degradation. To address the problem of excessive electric field strength in the gate oxide layer during the blocking state, a P+ shielding layer at the bottom of the trench is typically used to weaken the electric field strength of the gate oxide layer and improve its reliability.
[0004] The P+ shielding layer exists in two states: emitter short-circuited and floating. An emitter short-circuited P+ shielding layer effectively reduces the electric field strength of the trench gate oxide layer, but it accelerates the extraction of non-equilibrium minority carriers, leading to a weakened conductivity modulation effect and an increased forward conduction voltage. A floating P+ shielding layer achieves a stronger conductivity modulation effect and reduces the forward conduction voltage, but the IGBT saturation current is larger with a floating P+ shielding layer, reducing its short-circuit capability. Simultaneously, the floating P+ shielding layer weakens its shielding ability against the gate oxide electric field. Furthermore, during the initial IGBT turn-on stage, the gate potential is low, and holes accumulate near the gate oxide layer, generating a displacement current that charges the gate capacitance. This weakens the gate resistance Rg's control over the IGBT turn-on, increasing EMI noise during device turn-on. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention combines the advantages of emitter shorting and a floating P+ shielding layer, proposing a trench-type silicon carbide IGBT device with a self-clamped P+ shielding layer and its fabrication method. Automatic clamping of the P+ shielding layer potential is achieved by introducing an enhancement-mode P-channel MOSFET structure: When the IGBT operates in the forward blocking region, the gate-emitter voltage is zero or negative. At this time, the potential of the P+ shielding layer and the N-type base region will increase with the increase of the blocking voltage. When the potential difference between the N-type base region potential and the virtual gate reaches the threshold voltage of the enhancement-mode P-channel MOSFET, the enhancement-mode P-channel MOSFET turns on, and the P+ shielding layer is automatically clamped at a low potential to protect the gate oxide layer. When the IGBT operates in the saturation region, the gate-emitter voltage is positive. At this time, the collector-emitter voltage is small, the enhancement-mode P-channel MOSFET is turned off, and the P+ shielding layer remains in a floating state, increasing the near-surface carrier concentration and achieving a lower on-state voltage drop. When the IGBT operates in the active region, the collector-emitter voltage is large, the enhancement-mode P-channel MOSFET turns on, and the shielding layer switches to a clamping state, achieving a lower saturation current and improving the device's short-circuit capability. Due to the clamping of the P+ shield at low potential and the introduction of the virtual gate structure, the displacement current generated by hole accumulation near the gate oxide layer is reduced in the initial stage of IGBT turn-on, thereby reducing the EMI noise generated when the device is turned on. The device has a smaller Miller capacitance. This invention maintains the advantages of low forward conduction voltage and low switching loss while ensuring the reliability of the gate oxide layer of the trench silicon carbide IGBT device, and takes into account EMI noise characteristics and short-circuit capability.
