Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to an SGT-MOSFET cell, a manufacturing method thereof and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The SGT-MOSFET (Split-Gate-Trench-MOSFET) structure has a charge coupling effect, introduces horizontal depletion on the basis of vertical depletion (P-Body / N-Epi junction) of a traditional trench MOSFET, changes the electric field distribution of the device from a triangular shape to a nearly rectangular wave shape. In the case of using the same doping concentration of an epitaxial specification, the device can obtain a higher breakdown voltage, and the structure is widely used in the field of medium and low voltage power devices.

[0003] As shown in Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a traditional SGT-MOSFET (the passivation layer is not shown in the figure), in which 1 is an N+ substrate, 2 is an N- epitaxial layer, 3 is a field oxide layer, 4 is an isolation oxide layer between a shield gate and a control gate, 5 is a gate oxide layer, 6 is a shield gate, 7 is a P well, 8 is an N+ source region, 9 is a dielectric layer, 10 is a back metal, 11 is a control gate, 12 is a trench, 13 is a front metal, and 14 is a contact hole. A trench is first formed by etching, and then a shield electrode dielectric layer, usually a thick oxide layer, is grown in the trench to achieve charge balance. The breakdown voltage of the source and drain of the SGT-MOSFET with this structure is controlled by the thickness of the oxide layer, and the higher the breakdown voltage, the thicker the oxide layer thickness needs to be. For a 100V device, the oxide layer thickness has reached about 6000A. Therefore, the trench CD (critical dimension, which refers to the width of the trench) needs to be defined relatively wide (the trench CD of a 100V device needs to be more than 1um) in the design of the device. However, a mainstream direction of the design of the current SGT (shield gate transistor) device is to obtain a lower Rsp (on-resistance per unit area) by trying to reduce the size of the unit cell as much as possible. The characteristics of the traditional SGT-MOSFET structure make it difficult to further reduce the cell size, which obviously hinders the development of the device itself.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only for understanding the background of the present application, and therefore can include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY

[0044] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. It should be emphasized that the following description is only exemplary, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application and its applications.

[0045] It is to be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed" or "set" on another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element with intervening elements. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element with intervening elements. Further, the connection can be for fixed or coupling or communication purposes.

[0046] It is to be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like, specify relative positions or orientations of an apparatus or element as shown in the drawings and are used for convenience in describing the present embodiments and the principles thereof, but do not limit the scope of the present application to the positions or orientations shown in the drawings. Thus, it is to be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like, are used in the description and in the claims not to limit the scope of the present application to the positions or orientations shown in the drawings, but to encompass different positions or orientations of the apparatus or element.

[0047] In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used herein only to describe different instances, and do not imply a relative importance or a specific number of the technical features indicated thereby. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second", "third", etc. can include one or more of the features explicitly or implicitly. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0048] The problem of the electric field distribution in the conventional SGT-MOSFET drift region is that the longitudinal electric field distribution is not rectangular distribution but wavy distribution, mainly two peaks and one valley, wherein the first peak is located at the interface of the PN junction formed by the P well and the N-drift region, and the second peak is located at the corner of the trench bottom, i.e. in the epitaxial layer in front of the shielding gate of the trench bottom. The valley is located in the drift region outside the trench at the same height as the center of the shielding gate. Generally, the electric field of the second peak is greater than that of the first peak, and the difference between the second peak and the valley is large, generally about 1E5 (105) V / cm. The deeper the trench, the larger the difference between the second peak and the valley, and the less favorable for fully improving the breakdown voltage.

[0049] Since the breakdown voltage of the conventional structure cannot be fully improved, the chip area cannot be fully reduced, and thus the chip manufacturing cost cannot be fully reduced.

[0050] Referring to Figure 2 The SGT-MOSFET cell cross-sectional structure diagram of the embodiments of the present application is shown in Figure 2The structure is shown in the figure (the passivation layer is not drawn). In the figure, 1 is an N+ substrate, N+ represents a high N-type doping concentration, 2 is an N- epitaxial layer, 3 is a trench field oxide layer. 4A is a first isolation oxide layer, i.e. an isolation oxide layer between the first shielding gate and the control gate, 4B is a second isolation oxide layer, i.e. an isolation oxide layer between the first shielding gate and the second shielding gate. 5 is a gate oxide layer, the shielding gate includes a first shielding gate and a second shielding gate, 6A is the first shielding gate, 6B is the second shielding gate, 7 is a P well, 8 is an N+ source region, 9 is a dielectric layer, 10 is a back metal, 11 is a control gate, 12 is a trench, 13 is a front metal, and 14 is a contact hole. The structural features are that the thickness of the first isolation oxide layer 4A between the first shielding gate 6A and the control gate 11 is greater than the thickness of the second isolation oxide layer 4B between the first shielding gate 6A and the second shielding gate 6B. For an SGT-MOSFET of the same voltage level, the thickness of the trench field oxide layer 3 of the structure is less than the thickness of the trench field oxide layer of a conventional structure. In addition, the gate oxide layer is on both sides of the control gate, and the field oxide layer is on both sides of the first shielding gate and the second shielding gate. The contact hole is in the P well, the P well and the N+ source region are above the drift region (epitaxial layer), and the N+ source region is above the P well. The structure splits the conventional shielding gate into an upper shielding gate and a lower shielding gate, which is also called a double-shielding gate structure.

[0051] The SGT-MOSFET cell of the embodiment of the present application includes an N-type substrate (1), an N-epitaxial layer (2), a trench field oxide layer (3), a first isolation oxide layer (4A), a second isolation oxide layer (4B), a gate oxide layer (5), a first shielding gate (6A), a second shielding gate (6B), 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), and a contact hole (14), which are sequentially generated. The conductive polysilicon of the first shielding gate (6A) is used to connect the source potential, and the conductive polysilicon of the second shielding gate (6B) is floating. Thus, the electric field at the corner of the first shielding gate (6A) in the middle of the trench (12) can be raised during use, while the electric field at the corner of the second shielding gate (6B) and the bottom of the entire trench (12) can be reduced, so that the longitudinal electric field distribution of the drift region deviates from the wave-shaped distribution and approaches a rectangle, the electric field distribution is optimized, and the breakdown voltage of the device is improved.

[0052] The control gate (11) is an N-type control gate (11), the first isolation oxide layer (4A) is located between the first shielding gate (6A) and the control gate (11), and the second isolation oxide layer (4B) is located between the first shielding gate (6A) and the second shielding gate (6B).

[0053] In Figure 2In the SGT-MOSFET cell profile structure in the figure, the oxidation of the trench sidewall is performed in a long trench, and an oxide layer with a certain thickness is grown on the sidewall. The second shielding gate, the second isolation oxide layer, the first shielding gate, the first isolation oxide layer, the control gate, the dielectric layer, and the metal are sequentially arranged in the long trench. The thickness of the field oxide layer is much greater than that of the gate oxide layer. The thickness of the field oxide layer is generally 2000-7000 angstroms, and the thickness of the gate oxide layer is generally 200-1000 angstroms.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the N-type gate conductive polysilicon is used to connect the gate potential, the first shielding gate 6A conductive polysilicon is used to connect the source potential, and the second shielding gate 6B conductive polysilicon is floating. Since the first shielding gate 6A conductive polysilicon connects the source potential, the potential of the first shielding gate 6A conductive polysilicon is lower than that of the second shielding gate 6B conductive polysilicon when the device withstands voltage, so a large number of N-type impurities in the N-drift region are depleted with the electrons in the first shielding gate, which increases the electric field of the drift region outside the bottom of the first shielding gate 6A, thereby increasing the electric field of the entire middle part of the trench. In the traditional SGT-MOSFET cell structure, the electric field of the entire middle part of the trench is low. At the same time, since the second shielding gate 6B is floating, the second shielding gate 6B will be charged with high voltage when the device withstands voltage, which reduces the electric field at the bottom of the trench 12. In this way, by increasing the electric field at the corner of the first shielding gate 6A in the middle of the trench 12 and appropriately reducing the electric field at the corner of the second shielding gate 6B, that is, the electric field at the bottom of the entire trench 12, the longitudinal electric field distribution of the drift region deviates from the wave-shaped distribution and approaches a rectangle, which optimizes the electric field distribution and improves the breakdown voltage of the device. Under the same conditions, when the trench depth is 9 microns, the breakdown voltage of the SGT-MOSFET structure of the embodiment of the present application is increased from 100 V of the traditional structure to 125 V-150 V of the present structure, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage of the present structure by more than 25%.

[0055] The first shielding gate 6A and the drift region form a PN junction, which is depleted under the action of reverse voltage to withstand voltage. Since the main function of the first shielding gate 6A is to be depleted with the drift region to improve the electric field distribution and increase the breakdown voltage. The main function of the second shielding gate 6B is to reduce the peak electric field at the corner of the bottom of the trench, so as to make the longitudinal electric field distribution rectangular. Under the condition that the depth of the trench 12 is constant, the optimal depth of the first shielding gate 6A and the second shielding gate 6B can be set through simulation and process biasing, so as to achieve the highest breakdown voltage. However, under the condition that the depth of the trench 12 is constant, the breakdown voltage achieved by the different depths of the first shielding gate 6A and the second shielding gate 6B in the present case is greater than that achieved by the single shielding gate in the traditional structure.

[0056] The isolation oxide layer 4A between the two shielding gates and the N-type control gate 11 in the embodiment of the present application is the same as the conventional structure, and the thickness is between 0.2 microns and 0.5 microns. If the thickness of the isolation oxide layer 4B between the first shielding gate 6A and the second shielding gate 6B is too large, the breakdown voltage will be affected. Therefore, the thickness of the isolation oxide layer 4A between the first shielding gate 6A and the control gate 11 is larger than the thickness of the isolation oxide layer 4B between the first shielding gate 6A and the second shielding gate 6B, so that the breakdown voltage can be sufficiently improved.

[0057] In the case of the same trench depth, the SGT-MOSFET double shielding gate structure of the embodiment of the present application can obtain a larger breakdown voltage than the conventional single shielding gate structure, so that the trench depth can be reduced, and the thickness of the epitaxial layer can be reduced accordingly, so that the specific on-resistance can be reduced, and the chip area can be saved.

[0058] Since the conductive polysilicon of the first shielding gate 6A is connected to the source electrode, and the conductive polysilicon of the second shielding gate 6B is floating, the second shielding gate 6B will be charged with a high voltage when the device is subjected to a voltage, that is, the second shielding gate 6B will bear a part of the drain voltage. Therefore, for the SGT-MOSFET of the same voltage level, the thickness of the trench field oxide layer 3 of the structure is smaller than the thickness of the trench field oxide layer of the conventional structure. In one embodiment, the thickness of the trench field oxide layer 3 can be reduced from the thickness of the conventional structure (angstrom) to the thickness of the structure of 33%. Therefore, a smaller cell size and a larger cell density can be obtained, so that the specific on-resistance can be reduced, and the chip area can be further saved.

[0059] The embodiment of the present application also includes a split gate trench metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, which comprises the SGT-MOSFET cell described above; the embodiment of the present application also includes a medium and low voltage power device, which comprises the split gate trench metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor described above; and the embodiment of the present application also includes an electronic device, which comprises the medium and low voltage power device described above.
