TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a self-biased split gate bipolar transistor. BACKGROUND
[0002] The emergence of electric energy has promoted the rapid development of modern social science and technology, and how to more efficiently handle electric energy has always been a popular topic of scientific research all over the world. Efficient use of electric energy highly depends on power electronic systems, and the core electronic components of various power electronic systems are semiconductor power devices. Semiconductor power devices are widely used in various household appliances, various industrial equipment and other fields dominated by electric power. In the 21st century, global climate warming has attracted more and more attention, and energy saving and emission reduction and improvement of energy utilization efficiency are becoming increasingly important. Today, as the proportion of clean and renewable energy is increasing, society has higher expectations for energy conversion efficiency, and higher requirements are put forward for the performance of power semiconductor devices, which are the core of energy control.
[0003] Insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are a new generation of power electronic devices because they combine the advantages of field effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). They have the advantages of MOSFETs, such as easy driving, low input impedance, and fast switching speed, and the advantages of BJTs, such as large on-state current density, low on-state voltage drop, small loss, and good stability. Therefore, they have developed into one of the core electronic components in modern power electronic circuits and are widely used in transportation, power grids, communications, household appliances, and aerospace fields. The use of IGBTs has greatly improved the performance of power electronic systems.
[0004] Since the invention of IGBT, people have been committed to improving the performance of IGBT. After more than 20 years of development, multiple generations of IGBT device structures have been proposed, and the performance of the devices has been steadily improved. Traditional trench IGBT (such as Figure 1 ) changes the gate from a horizontal planar MOS to a vertical trench MOS structure, which not only improves the power density and structural design space, but also eliminates the adverse effects of the JFET region and the latch-up effect caused by the parasitic NPN. Shielded gate trench IGBT (such as Figure 2 ) based on trench IGBT has lower gate capacitance, so it has faster switching speed and lower switching loss. Moreover, compared with the high peak electric field at the bottom of the traditional trench gate structure, the SGT structure has the advantage of optimizing the electric field to increase the withstand voltage, so the SGT-IGBT has greater application value in high-reliability high-performance application fields. Figure 2A cell structure of a conventional SGT-IGBT device is shown. As an insulated gate controlled structure, the gate of IGBT attracts electrons in the non-channel region through the gate voltage to form an electron accumulation layer while forming a channel, further reducing the forward conduction voltage drop. However, in the SGT-IGBT, since the shield gate is connected to the emitter, it cannot attract electrons to form an electron accumulation layer, and the channel electron injection efficiency is reduced, so the conductance modulation effect is weaker than that of the conventional trench IGBT, and the forward conduction voltage drop is increased. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to reduce the on-state voltage drop of the device and improve the performance of the device, the present application provides a self-biased split gate bipolar transistor. In the present application, a potential is introduced in the floating P region 13. When the IGBT is blocked, the capacitor is charged through the diode. When the IGBT is turned on, the voltage on the capacitor provides a self-biased potential for the SG (split gate), so that an electron accumulation is formed below the split gate structure, thereby enhancing the forward conduction capability of the IGBT device. At the same time, the split gate structure forms an internal field plate structure when it is blocked, which optimizes the peak electric field at the bottom of the trench and improves the forward voltage resistance capability of the IGBT. Moreover, the existence of the split gate structure weakens the capacitive effect between the gate and the collector, accelerates the switching speed of the IGBT, reduces the switching loss of the device, and further optimizes the characteristics of the device.

[0029] Step 2: growing a field oxide layer 27 on the surface of the silicon wafer, using a photolithography process, and forming the floating P region 13 of the device by high-temperature ion implantation of P-type impurities and annealing in the N-drift region 7, and growing a pre-oxidation layer 28 on the surface of the silicon wafer;
[0030] Step 3: using a photolithography process to form a first trench and a second trench, and forming a trench oxide layer 6 on the side walls and bottom of the first trench and the second trench by a thermal oxidation process;
[0031] Step 4: depositing N-doped polysilicon in the first trench and the second trench, forming a polysilicon trench gate 29 in the first trench, and forming a trench emitter 12 in the second trench;

[0040] The working principle of the present application is that when the polysilicon gate 5 is connected to a high potential higher than the threshold voltage of the device, the collector metal 10 is connected to a high potential, and the emitter metal 1 is connected to a low potential, the device works in the on state, the P-type collector region 9 injects holes into the N-drift region 7, and the N+ emitter region 3 injects electrons into the N-drift region 7, the existence of electron-hole pairs causes the occurrence of conductance modulation effect in the drift region.
[0041] When an external diode is connected in series between the split polysilicon gate 11 and the floating P region 13, the N-type region of the diode is connected to the split polysilicon gate 11, the P-type region of the diode is connected to the floating P region 13, and an external capacitor is connected in series between the split polysilicon gate 11 and the emitter metal 1, the floating P region 13 obtains a relatively stable potential through active region clamping, which makes the external diode open and charges the external capacitor. Since the split polysilicon gate 11 is connected to the capacitor, the N region of the diode maintains a stable value, and since the diode N region is connected to the split gate 11, the split gate also has a stable potential, which attracts electrons near the split gate to accumulate and form an electron accumulation layer, which improves the injection efficiency of the channel and further enhances the conductance modulation effect of the drift region, thereby reducing the forward on-state voltage drop of the device.
[0042] When the floating P region 13 forms a Schottky diode with the metal layer 14, the potential below the floating P region 13 is clamped by the reverse-biased PN junction composed of the P-type base region 4 and the N-drift region 7, which charges the integrated capacitor through the Schottky diode. Since the diode can maintain the charge on the capacitor and the floating P region 13 has a relatively stable clamping voltage, the metal layer 14 of the Schottky diode maintains a stable value, and since the metal layer 14 of the Schottky diode is connected to the split gate 11, the split gate 11 also has a stable potential, which attracts electrons near the split gate 11 to accumulate and form an electron accumulation layer, which improves the injection efficiency of the channel and further enhances the conductance modulation effect of the drift region, thereby reducing the forward on-state voltage drop of the device.
[0043] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0044] The present application utilizes the potential of the floating P region 13 to provide a bias potential for the split polysilicon gate 11, thereby forming an electron accumulation capability under the trench, enhancing the conductance modulation effect, and thus enhancing the forward conduction capability of the device. Compared with the conventional split gate structure, the introduction of the self-bias structure is beneficial to simultaneously improving the conduction capability and switching performance of the device, eliminating the negative effects brought by the split gate, improving the switching loss and switching speed, and also optimizing the forward conduction capability of the device, improving the compromise characteristics between the forward conduction voltage drop and the off-state loss of the device.
[0045] The gate oxide layer 6 around the split polysilicon gate 11 is not limited by the threshold voltage design, so its thickness can be further increased to improve the voltage resistance and oxide layer reliability of the device, and improve the performance of the device.

[0089] By introducing a thick FS layer 8 for hydrogen implantation between the N-drift region and the P+ collector region, the hydrogen implantation process is well-suited to replace the high-temperature pre-diffusion process for deep implantation of IGBTs due to its advantages of large implantation depth at lower energies and low annealing temperatures.

[0098] The eleventh embodiment of the present invention provides a method for fabricating the above-described self-biased split insulated gate bipolar transistor, comprising the following steps:
[0099] Step 1: Select an N-type lightly doped FZ silicon wafer as the N-drift region 7 of the device, such as... Figure 14 As shown;
[0100] Step 2: A field oxide layer 27 is grown on the silicon wafer surface using photolithography. Following high-temperature ion implantation of P-type impurities in the N-drift region 7 and annealing, a floating P-region 13 of the device is formed. Figure 15 As shown, a pre-oxidized layer 28 is grown on the surface of the silicon wafer;
[0101] Step 3: Using photolithography, form the first and second trenches, such as... Figure 16 As shown, a trench oxide layer 6 is formed on the sidewalls and bottom of the first and second trenches through a thermal oxidation process.
[0102] Step 4: N-doped polysilicon is deposited in the first and second trenches. A polysilicon trench gate 29 is formed in the first trench, and a trench emitter 12 is formed in the second trench. Figure 17 As shown;
[0103] Step 5: An oxide shielding layer is formed using a thermal oxidation process. The oxide layer on the surface of the polysilicon trench gate 29 and the polysilicon layer on top of the polysilicon trench gate 29 are etched away using a photolithography process to form a split polysilicon gate 11. An oxide isolation layer is then formed on the surface of the split polysilicon gate 11 through thermal oxidation and further deposition to form the polysilicon gate 5. Figures 18-19 As shown;
[0104] Step 6: Using photolithography, and after high-temperature ion implantation of P-type impurities followed by annealing, the P-type base region 4 of the device is formed, as shown below. Figure 20 As shown;
[0105] Step 7: Fabricate N+ emitter region 3 of the device by high temperature ion implantation of N-type impurities and annealing, as shown in Figure 21 ;
[0106] Step 8: Fabricate emitter ohmic contact P+ region 2 of the device by high temperature ion implantation of P-type impurities and annealing, as shown in Figure 22 ;
[0107] Step 9: Perform Al metal deposition to form emitter metal 1, as shown in Figure 23 ;
[0108] Step 10: Perform Schottky metal deposition to form Schottky contact diode metal layer 14, as shown in Figure 24 ;
[0109] Step 11: Turn over the silicon wafer, thin the silicon wafer, and form N-type field stop layer 8 and P-type collector region 9 on the back surface of the silicon wafer by high energy ion implantation of N-type impurities and ion implantation of P-type impurities and annealing, as shown in Figure 25 ;
[0110] Step 12: Deposit metal on the back surface of the silicon wafer to form collector metal 10 on the surface of P-type collector region 9, as shown in Figure 26 .
[0111] The present application obtains a higher potential on the back surface of the silicon wafer at the time of IGBT turn-off by series connection of a diode between split polysilicon gate 11 and floating P region 13, connection of the cathode of the diode to split polysilicon gate 11, connection of the anode of the diode to floating P region 13, series connection of a capacitor between split gate 11 and emitter metal 1, and clamping of floating P region 13 by the active region, and the potential makes the diode open, thereby charging the capacitor and making the capacitor obtain a stable potential. Split gate 11 is connected to the capacitor, so that split gate also has a stable potential, which attracts electrons near the split gate to accumulate and form an electron accumulation layer, which improves the injection efficiency of the channel and further improves the drift region conductance modulation effect, thereby reducing the forward on-state voltage drop of the device.
