Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a terminal structure of a shield gate power MOSFET and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The most important research direction of power MOSFET is to continuously reduce power consumption (including on-state loss and switching loss) and improve the robustness of device dynamic performance. Today, power trench MOSFET devices have been applied in most power application circuits, and the characteristics of the devices are continuously approaching the one-dimensional limit of silicon material (which represents the theoretical relationship between the on-state resistance and the breakdown voltage of the drift region of the device). The RESURF technology (Reduced Surface Field) can make the power trench MOSFET device with a withstand voltage of 600V exceed the one-dimensional limit of silicon material. Similarly, according to the working principle of RESURF, the industry also proposes a split gate (shield gate) trench (Split-Gate Trench) MOSFET device structure, which can break the one-dimensional limit of silicon material in the low-voltage and medium-voltage (20V-300V) range, has lower on-state loss, and has superior device performance.

[0003] The method for increasing the avalanche tolerance of a conventional shield gate power MOSFET is to provide a path for avalanche hole current by setting some regions (i.e. dummy structure) with only P well region and without N+ source region in the source region to reduce the size and current density of cell avalanche hole current. The scribe groove of the conventional shield gate power MOSFET does not have a trench structure.

[0004] The problem of the method for increasing the avalanche tolerance of the conventional shield gate power MOSFET is that the regions (i.e. dummy structure) with only P well region and without N+ source region cannot generate forward current due to the absence of N+ source region, so the existence of these structures increases the chip area and improves the chip cost; in addition, N+ lithography needs to be increased to manufacture the dummy structure.

[0048] The method for increasing the avalanche resistance of the conventional shield gate power MOSFET is to set some regions with only P well region and without N+ source region (i.e. dummy structure) in the source region to provide the path of avalanche hole current, so as to reduce the size and current density of cell avalanche hole current. The scribing groove of the conventional shield gate power MOSFET does not have a trench structure.

[0049] The problem of the method for increasing the avalanche resistance of the conventional shield gate power MOSFET is that the regions with only P well region and without N+ source region (i.e. dummy structure) cannot generate forward current due to the absence of N+ source region, so the existence of these structures will increase the chip area and improve the chip cost; in addition, N+ lithography needs to be increased to manufacture the dummy structure.

[0050] Therefore, the application provides a terminal structure of a shield gate power MOSFET and a manufacturing method thereof, some regions with only P well regions but without N+ source regions (i.e. dummy structure) are changed into regions with both P well regions and N+ source regions (i.e. normal cell structure), and an avalanche tolerance enhancement structure is added in the dicing groove region of the normal shield gate power MOSFET.

[0051] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the application provides a terminal structure of a shield gate power MOSFET, in order to reduce the size of source region avalanche hole current, the application changes some regions with only P well regions but without N+ source regions (i.e. dummy structure) into regions with both P well regions and N+ source regions (i.e. normal cell structure), and adds an avalanche tolerance enhancement structure in the dicing groove region of the normal shield gate power MOSFET, the avalanche tolerance enhancement structure comprises additional trench field oxide and additional trench polysilicon.

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 The terminal structure of the shield gate power MOSFET comprises an N+ substrate 1, an N- epitaxial layer 2, a terminal trench field oxide layer 3, a P well 7, an N+ source region 8, a dielectric layer 9, a back metal 10, additional trench field oxide 3A, a front metal 13, a terminal trench polysilicon 14 and additional trench polysilicon 14A.

[0053] The trench of the avalanche tolerance enhancement structure is arranged in the dicing groove outside the terminal structure trench stop ring of the shield gate power MOSFET; referring to Figure 2 The dashed box represents the avalanche enhancement structure. I on the left of the dashed line represents the source region, II in the middle of the dashed line represents the first terminal region, and III on the right of the dashed line represents the second terminal region, the second terminal region is located in the dicing groove region, and the first terminal region and the second terminal region constitute the terminal region of the application. The avalanche enhancement structure is located in the second terminal region, i.e. the dicing groove region, i.e. region III.

[0054] The cell structure comprises: an N+ substrate 1, an N- epitaxial layer 2, a terminal trench field oxide layer 3, an isolation oxide layer 4 between the shield gate and the control gate, a gate oxide layer 5, a shield gate 6, a P well 7, an N+ source region 8, a dielectric layer 9, a back metal 10, a control gate 11, a trench 12, a front metal 13, a terminal trench polysilicon 14 and a contact hole 15.

[0055] The application does not need N+ lithography, and one lithography is reduced compared with the manufacturing method of the normal shield gate power MOSFET. Under the condition of the same chip area, the current density of the on-state current is increased, the on-state resistance is reduced, and the performance of the product is improved due to the absence of regions without N+ source regions.

[0056] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown in the figure, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the avalanche hole current flow direction of the shielding gate power MOSFET of the present application. In the present embodiment, when the device in the inductive circuit is turned off, the reverse peak voltage generated by the load inductance is applied to the drain of the device, and the terminal trench ring bears the voltage, and the trench ring generates an electric field repelling the avalanche holes, and no avalanche holes are generated around the field oxide layer of the terminal trench ring.

[0057] In the present embodiment, the electric field generated by the additional N-type polysilicon in the avalanche tolerance enhancement structure trench 12A is directed from the periphery to the additional N-type polysilicon. Under the action of this electric field, the avalanche holes are attracted around the additional trench field oxide layer 3A under the action of the electric field generated by the additional N-type polysilicon in the avalanche tolerance enhancement structure trench 12A, and the hole current flows to the avalanche tolerance enhancement structure trench 12A in addition to being discharged through the source region, so that the hole current is basically discharged through the source region, and a small part of it flows to the terminal, mainly to the avalanche tolerance enhancement structure trench 12A.

[0058] Referring to Figure 2 as shown in the figure, the arrow A in the figure represents the total avalanche hole current to the device, A1 represents the avalanche hole current discharged to the source region, and A2 represents the avalanche hole current discharged to the terminal region. Therefore, by using the present structure, the avalanche hole current flowing into the source region is reduced, the avalanche breakdown resistance of the device is improved, the avalanche tolerance EAS is increased, and the reliability of the device is improved.

[0059] The working principle of the present application is that the additional trench ring located in the scribe groove is N-type polysilicon, and the electric field direction is from the periphery of the additional trench to the N-type polysilicon in the additional trench.

[0060] In the present embodiment, when the device in the inductive circuit is turned off, part of the terminal avalanche hole current flows to the source region, enters the P-well 7 and is discharged to the source metal, and the other part of the terminal avalanche hole current is attracted to the additional trench field oxide side wall and the additional trench field oxide bottom under the action of the lateral electric field, thereby reducing the current intensity and current density of the total avalanche hole current of the source region.

[0061] In the present embodiment, the avalanche tolerance enhancement structure trench 12A structure proposed by the present application is a series of equidistant trenches 12 arranged in the scribe groove.

[0062] The avalanche enhancement structure of the present application has the same effect as the traditional avalanche enhancement structure, both of which reduce the current density of avalanche hole current flowing through the effective cell structure, and the equivalent effect is equivalent to moving the avalanche enhancement structure of the source region in the traditional structure to the scribing groove. Since the total length of the terminal is not increased, the present application can save the chip area occupied by the traditional avalanche enhancement structure, that is, under the condition of the same chip area, the present application can increase the forward conduction current density, reduce the conduction resistance, and improve the product performance.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, a manufacturing method of the terminal structure of the shield gate power MOSFET is also provided, and the manufacturing method comprises the following steps:
