[0002] Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is a voltage-controlled electronic device, generally having three ports of source, gate and drain. For power MOSFET, since it needs to bear high voltage when turned off, it is necessary to form a depletion layer with a certain chip area to withstand voltage. In particular, for lateral power MOSFET device, high voltage device means larger chip area, resulting in the increase of chip cost, but such device has the advantage of easy integration. For vertical power MOSFET device, the part of withstand voltage is transferred from lateral to vertical, which greatly reduces the area of the chip. In addition, the field plate technology commonly used in lateral power devices can greatly improve the voltage resistance efficiency of the device.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] A lateral power MOSFET device, wherein when the device is an N-type power semiconductor device, the first conductivity type is N-type and the second conductivity type is P-type; and when the device is a P-type power semiconductor device, the first conductivity type is P-type and the second conductivity type is N-type. This embodiment uses an N-type power semiconductor device as an example. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a substrate metal 101, an N-type substrate 102 on the substrate metal 101, an N-type epitaxial layer 103 on the N-type substrate 102, and a longitudinal trench 105 composed of silicon dioxide insulating material within the N-type epitaxial layer 103. A first gate 108 and a second gate 106 composed of polysilicon are also disposed within the longitudinal trench 105. The first gate 108 is located at the upper part of the longitudinal trench 105, and the second gate 106 is located at the lower part of the longitudinal trench 105. Silicon dioxide isolates the first gate 108 and the second gate 106. A P-type body region 104 is also disposed on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103, and heavily doped N-type source 109 and P-type source 107 are also disposed on the surface of the P-type body region 104. One side of the heavily doped N-type source 109 is connected to the longitudinal trench 105, and the other side of the heavily doped N-type source 109 is connected to the heavily doped P-type source 107. In the direction of the horizontal extension of the longitudinal trench 105, an N-type drain 110 is also provided on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103. The N-type drain 110 is connected to the longitudinal trench 105. An insulating medium 112 is also provided on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103 and the longitudinal trench 105. A source metal 113 and a drain metal 114 are also provided on the surface of the insulating medium 112. The source metal 113 passes through the insulating medium 112 and is connected to the heavily doped N-type source 109 and the P-type source 107. The drain metal 114 passes through the insulating medium 112 and is connected to the heavily doped N-type drain 110.
[0034] As shown in the drawings, the source metal 113 and the drain metal 114 of the lateral power MOSFET device are on the surface of the device, which facilitates the mutual integration between devices. Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the source metal 113 and the drain metal 114 of the lateral power MOSFET device are on the surface of the device, which facilitates the mutual integration between devices.
[0035] When the power device of the present application is turned on, i.e. the first gate voltage of the device is greater than the threshold voltage of the device, the source is connected to a low potential (usually ground), and the drain is connected to a positive voltage. At this time, the device is turned on, the P-type body region on both sides of the first gate is inverted into an N-type channel, and the current flows from the N-type source to the N-type drain through the N-type channel. When the device is horizontally conducting current, since the substrate metal is also connected to a positive voltage, the current flowing in the horizontal direction may flow into the device, and eventually form a leakage through the substrate metal. This leakage will reduce the current capacity of the device and cause reliability problems of the device.
[0036] In order to avoid leakage as much as possible, the present embodiment improves the size of the leakage of the device by using the following scheme.
[0037] As shown in the drawings, the depth of the first gate 108 is less than the depth of the P-type body region 104, and the depth of the first gate 108 is greater than the depth of the heavily doped N-type source 109 and the heavily doped N-type drain 110. Figure 1 Figure 2 The depth of the first gate 108 is less than the depth of the P-type body region 104, which can avoid the formation of a current channel from the surface of the device to the interior of the device when the first gate is connected to a positive voltage to turn on the device. The depth of the first gate 108 is greater than the depth of the heavily doped N-type source 109 and the heavily doped N-type drain 110, which can ensure that a deep enough current channel is formed when the device is turned on, thereby improving the current capacity of the device.
[0038] For example, if the depth of the P-type body region is 5um, and the depth of the heavily doped N-type source and the heavily doped N-type drain is 1um, then the depth of the first gate is preferably 1.5um~2um.
[0039] The manufacturing method based on the present embodiment includes the following steps:
[0040] Step one: select N-type substrate 102 material and epitaxially grow N-type epitaxial layer 103 on the surface thereof;
[0041] Step two: use a mask window to selectively etch a longitudinal groove 105 on the upper surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103;
[0042] Step three: grow an oxide layer composed of silicon dioxide in the longitudinal groove 105, and then fill polycrystalline silicon in the longitudinal groove 105 to the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103;
[0043] Step four: form a first gate 108 on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103, and form a P-type body region 104 on the surface of the first gate 108;
[0044] Step four: remove the polysilicon on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103, further etch the polysilicon in the longitudinal trench 105 to form the second gate 106, and then deposit an oxide layer in the longitudinal trench 105 to the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103;
[0045] Step five: etch the oxide layer in the longitudinal trench 105, and then grow a gate oxide layer in the longitudinal trench 105 to form the gate oxide layer of the first gate 108;
[0046] Step six: fill the longitudinal trench 105 with polysilicon again to the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103 to form the first gate 108, and remove the excess polysilicon;
[0047] Step seven: implant P-type ions on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103, and perform high-temperature annealing to form the P-type body region 104, use a mask window to implant high-concentration N-type ions and P-type ions on the surface of the P-type body region 104 respectively, and perform high-temperature annealing to form the heavily doped N-type source 109, N-type drain 110, and P-type source 107;
[0048] Step eight: deposit an insulating medium 112 on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 103 and the surface of the longitudinal trench 105, then selectively etch a via on the insulating medium 112, then deposit metal and selectively etch the metal to form the source metal 113, gate metal, and drain metal 114, and deposit metal under the N-type substrate to form the substrate metal 101.
[0049] The lateral power MOSFET device and the manufacturing method thereof provided by the embodiment can be compatible with the traditional SGT MOSFET process. Here, the traditional SGT MOSFET device structure and the traditional SGT MOSFET device process method are introduced first, and then the compatibility with the present application is analyzed.
[0050] For the traditional SGT MOSFET device, taking the N-type MOSFET device as an example, as shown in FIG. 1, the device structure includes a substrate 101, a P-type body region 104, a first gate 108, a second gate 106, a N-type source 109, a N-type drain 110, and a P-type source 107. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the N-type SGT MOSFET device includes a drain metal 201, an N-type substrate 202 disposed on the drain metal 201, an N-type epitaxial layer 203 disposed on the N-type substrate 202, a longitudinal trench 205 composed of silicon dioxide insulating material disposed in the N-type epitaxial layer 203, a first gate 208 and a second gate 206 composed of polysilicon material disposed in the longitudinal trench 205, the first gate 208 being located at the upper portion of the longitudinal trench 205, the second gate 206 being located at the lower portion of the longitudinal trench 205, the first gate 208 and the second gate 206 being separated by silicon dioxide, a P-type body region 204 disposed on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203, a heavily doped N-type source 209 and a P-type source 207 disposed on the surface of the P-type body region 204, the heavily doped N-type source 209 and the P-type source 207 extending horizontally along the longitudinal trench 205, one side of the heavily doped N-type source 209 being connected to the longitudinal trench 205, the other side of the heavily doped N-type source 209 being connected to the heavily doped P-type source 207, an insulating medium 211 disposed on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203 and the longitudinal trench 205, and a source metal 210 disposed on the surface of the insulating medium 211, the source metal 210 being connected to the heavily doped N-type source 209 and the P-type source 207 through the insulating medium 211.
[0051] The conventional SGT MOSFET device is a longitudinal device, i.e., when the device is turned on, the current flows from the source on the surface of the device to the drain on the back of the device through the channel inside the device, and the drain on the back of the device is not easy to integrate, so the conventional SGT MOSFET device is usually used as a power device alone.
[0052] The biggest difference between the structure of the conventional SGT MOSFET device and the lateral power MOSFET device provided by the present application is that the drain of the lateral power MOSFET device is designed on the surface of the device. Secondly, the depth of the first gate of the device of the present application is smaller than that of the conventional SGT MOSFET device. The above two differences can be realized by fine-tuning of the manufacturing process.
[0053] The manufacturing method of the conventional SGT MOSFET device includes the following steps:
[0054] Step one: select N-type substrate 202 material and epitaxially grow N-type epitaxial layer 203 on the surface thereof;
[0055] Step two: use a mask window to selectively etch a longitudinal trench 205 on the upper surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203;
[0056] Step three: grow an oxide layer composed of silicon dioxide in the longitudinal trench 205, and then fill polysilicon in the longitudinal trench 205 to the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203.
[0057] Step four: remove the polysilicon on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203, further etch the polysilicon in the longitudinal trench 205 to form the second gate 206, and then deposit an oxide layer in the longitudinal trench 205 to the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203;
[0058] Step five: etch the oxide layer in the longitudinal trench 205, and then grow a gate oxide layer in the longitudinal trench 205 to form the gate oxide layer of the first gate 208;
[0059] Step six: fill the longitudinal trench 205 with polysilicon again to the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203 to form the first gate 208, and then remove the excess polysilicon;
[0060] Step seven: implant P-type ions on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203, and then perform high-temperature annealing to form the P-type body region 204. Use a mask window to implant high-concentration N-type ions and P-type ions on the surface of the P-type body region 204, respectively, and then perform high-temperature annealing to form the heavily doped N-type source 209 and the P-type source 207.
[0061] Step eight: deposit an insulating medium 211 on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 203 and the surface of the longitudinal trench 205, then selectively etch a via in the insulating medium 211, and then deposit metal and selectively etch the metal to form the source metal 210, the gate metal, and the drain metal 201 deposited under the N-type substrate.
[0062] Compared with the traditional SGT MOSFET manufacturing method and the manufacturing method of the lateral power MOSFET device provided by the present application, the traditional SGT manufacturing method only needs to be adjusted to realize the manufacturing of the lateral MOSFET device provided by the present application. Specifically, the following steps can be adjusted:
[0063] Step five: increase the mask window, etch away the oxide layer in the longitudinal trench of the traditional SGT MOSFET device, etch away the oxide layer in the longitudinal trench of the lateral power MOSFET device, and then grow a gate oxide layer in the longitudinal trench to form the gate oxide layer of the first gate;
[0064] Step seven: implant P-type ions on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer, and then perform high-temperature annealing to form the P-type body region. Use a mask window to implant high-concentration N-type ions and P-type ions on the surface of the P-type body region, respectively, and then perform high-temperature annealing to form the heavily doped N-type source and the P-type source of the traditional SGT MOSFET device, and simultaneously form the heavily doped N-type source, N-type drain, and P-type source of the lateral power MOSFET.
[0065] Step eight: depositing insulating medium on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer and the surface of the longitudinal trench, then etching through holes in the insulating medium selectively, then depositing metal and etching the metal selectively to form the source metal and the gate metal of the conventional SGT MOSFET device, and simultaneously form the source metal, the gate metal and the drain metal of the lateral power MOSFET device, and depositing metal under the N-type substrate, which is the drain metal for the conventional SGT MOSFET device and the substrate metal for the lateral power MOSFET device.
[0066] In step five, a new mask window is needed to form the first gate with smaller depth in the lateral power MOSFET device; in step seven, the N-type source and the N-type drain of the lateral power MOSFET device can share a mask window with the N-type source of the conventional SGT MOSFET device, and no additional mask window is needed; and in step eight, the source metal and the drain metal of the lateral power MOSFET device can share a mask window with the conventional SGT MOSFET device, and no additional mask window is needed.
[0067] In summary, based on the manufacturing method of the conventional SGT MOSFET device, at least one mask window is added to realize the manufacturing of the lateral power MOSFET device, and meanwhile, the manufacturing of the conventional SGT MOSFET device is not affected, i.e., the manufacturing of the conventional SGT MOSFET device and the manufacturing of the lateral power MOSFET device can be realized by using one set of processes, which greatly reduces the development cost of the new device. In addition, the manufacturing of the power MOSFET device with protection function or the smart switch chip can be realized by using the processes, and the expandability of the processes is improved.
