Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, specifically to the technical field classified under H01L, and more specifically to a power semiconductor device with high reliability and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Since the development of discrete power semiconductors, various fields have developed structural designs to improve characteristics in order to achieve mass-producible high-power, low-on-resistance specifications and improve the reliability of power components. Patent CN100554016 discloses a power semiconductor component with light recovery characteristics, which can prevent damage from fast recovery phenomena to some extent; however, its voltage withstand capability is limited. The document "A Novel 800V Multi-RESURFLDMOS Utilizing a Linear RESURF Substrate" discloses a novel 800V multi-RESURF lateral double-diffused MOS (LDMOS) transistor and has successfully performed simulations. The proposed RESURFFLDMOS has low on-resistance and a breakdown voltage exceeding 800V. This document focuses on designing and improving the P-substrate, but does not improve reliability. Patent US 10,763,353B2 discloses a MOSFET semiconductor device that reduces electron-hole pair impacts by using P+ ion arrangement. Patent application CN 112271208 A discloses a silicon carbide single-gate dual-channel thyristor transport IGBT and its manufacturing method. In this patent, the thyristor is activated by a dual-channel gate through a parasitic P-type collector layer / N-type drift region / P-type base floating layer / N-type carrier layer. The PNP base acts as a hole blocking layer to increase the hole concentration at the top, and the NPN collector is used to extract electrons from the drift region to reduce the hole concentration at the bottom. This technical solution provides a semiconductor device with lower turn-off loss and turn-off time; however, the reliability of this semiconductor device is not high. In an IGBT, when a predetermined voltage is applied between the gate and emitter, a channel is formed along the trench in the p-type base layer, opening the connection between the collector and emitter and conducting current. At this time, the N-drift region below the base region generates a high electric field, affecting the reliability cycle of the device operation. The high electron-hole pair impact rate reduces the reliability of the gate oxide layer. The existing literature, "A convex p-based SiC trench MOSFET structure for low oxide field and enhanced switching performance," shows that a high electric field is generated below the trench. The low quality of the SiC oxide layer in the MOSFET structure reduces the reliability period of the MOSFET structure. However, the literature does not provide any solutions for reducing the high electric field or improving the reliability of the MOSFET structure.

[0003] There is an urgent need for a power semiconductor device that reduces the impact rate of electron holes and improves reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a high-reliability power semiconductor device is provided, comprising, from bottom to top, a collector layer, a P+ type silicon substrate layer, an N+ type buffer epitaxial silicon layer, an N- type drift region epitaxial silicon layer, an N-type field cutoff layer, a P-type base layer, a trench penetrating the N-type drift region epitaxial silicon layer, the N-type field cutoff layer, and the P-type base layer, a gate insulating oxide layer surrounding the trench sidewalls and bottom, an N+ emitter region and a P+ emitter region located above the P-type base layer on both sides of the trench, a second insulating isolation layer located above the trench, and emitter layers located above the N+ emitter region and the P+ emitter region on both sides of the trench, respectively.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the resistivity of the P+ type silicon substrate is 0.01-0.03 Ω·m.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the epitaxial concentration in the N+ type buffer epitaxial silicon layer is 10. 16 -10 17 cm -3 The thickness is 2-5um.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the second insulating layer is an insulating oxide layer.

[0013] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing the aforementioned high-reliability power semiconductor device, comprising at least the following steps:

[0014] (1) Prepare a P+ type silicon substrate, form an N+ type buffer epitaxial silicon layer on the P+ type silicon substrate, form an N- type drift region epitaxial silicon layer on the N+ type buffer epitaxial silicon layer, and form an N- type diffusion layer on the N- type drift region epitaxial silicon layer. The thickness of the N-type diffusion layer is 4-6 μm, and the phosphorus atom implantation amount in the N-type diffusion layer is 3e. 13 -5e 13 cm -2 The energy is 50-120 keV, the annealing temperature is 1100-1200℃, and the annealing time is 150-240 min;

[0015] (2) The N-type drift region epitaxial silicon layer is formed by stacking, and the lateral epitaxial concentration increases in an intermittent step manner from top to bottom;

[0016] (3) The thickness of the N-type diffusion layer is 4-6 μm. An ion implantation mask is placed on the N-type diffusion layer, and a P-type base layer ion implantation mask is used to implant boron atoms. The amount of boron atoms implanted is 3e. 13 -9e 13 cm- 2 The energy is 50-150 keV, the annealing temperature is 1000-1200℃, and the annealing time is 3-30 min, so as to form an N-type field stop layer and a P-type base layer.

[0017] (4) A trench is formed by etching that penetrates the epitaxial silicon layer, the N-type field stop layer and the P-type substrate in the N-type drift region;

[0018] (5) A sacrificial oxide layer is formed at the bottom and sidewalls of the trench, the thickness of which is 350-500 Å, to remove etching defects on the surface of the trench.

[0019] (6) Remove the sacrificial oxide layer, and then form a gate insulating oxide layer on the sidewalls and bottom of the trench, wherein the thickness of the gate insulating oxide layer is 100-150 μm;

[0020] (7) Deposit a doped polycrystalline silicon gate electrode inside the trench and etch to define the polycrystalline silicon gate;

[0021] (8) Phosphorus atoms are implanted into the P-type substrate near both sides of the trench to form N+ emitter regions, and boron atoms are implanted on both sides of the N+ emitter regions to form P+ emitter regions. The amount of phosphorus atoms implanted is 1e. 15 -5e 15 cm -2 The energy is 50-110 keV, and the amount of boron atoms implanted is 1e. 14 -1e 15 cm -2 The energy is 50-110 keV;

[0023] (10) Finally, an emitter layer metal is covered on the P+ emitter region and the N+ emitter region, and a collector layer metal is covered on the lower part of the P-type silicon substrate to obtain the final product.

[0024] Beneficial Effects: This technical solution involves setting N-type drift region epitaxial silicon layers with different epitaxial concentrations below the P-type substrate. This results in a stepped, intermittent increase in the lateral epitaxial concentration of the N-type drift region epitaxial silicon layer from the trench downwards, enhancing the overall concentration of the N-type drift region epitaxial silicon layer. This concentration distribution places the high-concentration distribution away from the gate bottom, thus minimizing the electron hole impact rate at the bottom of the gate trench and significantly improving the device's operational reliability. By maintaining the same epitaxial doping dose in the N-type drift region epitaxial silicon layer and only changing the doping design distribution, the power semiconductor device can maintain both low resistance and high current, as well as a relatively high breakdown voltage. Therefore, it can improve the device's withstand voltage while maintaining its existing low on-state voltage. Attached Figure Description

[0044] (3) Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the N-type diffusion layer 1 is 5 μm. An ion-implanted photomask is placed on the N-type diffusion layer 1, and a P-type base layer ion-implanted photomask is used to implant boron atoms. The amount of boron atoms implanted is 6e. 13 cm- 2 The energy is 100 keV, the annealing temperature is 1100℃, and the annealing time is 10 min, so as to form an N-type field stop layer 6 and a P-type base layer 5.
