AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing gate commutated thyristor (GCT) devices suffer from high manufacturing costs and complex processes, especially the complex photolithography and implantation processes for the wavy P-base region structure, which affect on-state and turn-off performance.

Method used

By employing a trenching-then-diffusion method, wavy P- and P- regions are formed through the discrete gate-cathode height difference, avoiding additional photolithography and implantation processes, optimizing the gate trench depth, achieving one-time evaporation and reverse etching of aluminum, and reducing process costs and difficulty.

Benefits of technology

This improved the ability to turn off current, reduced manufacturing costs and process complexity, and ensured efficient production and stable performance of the device.

Abstract

本发明提供了一种门极换流晶闸管GCT器件结构及其制造方法,从上往下依次设置有阴极和门极铝层,阴极N+区,门极P区,P‑区,N‑基区,N缓冲区,透明阳极P+区和阳极铝层。该结构门极沟槽深度大于阴极N+区深度,阴极N+区正下方分别设有波状P区和波状P‑区,其深度都等于门极沟槽深度。本发明由于门极沟槽深度大于阴极N+区深度,可以避免寄生的NPN晶体管栓锁,提高GCT的可关断电流。通过分立的门—阴极高度差扩散形成波纹高度等于门极沟槽深度的波状P区和波状P‑区,可以减少离子注入和光刻步骤,并进一步提高可关断电流。阴极铝层和门极铝层同时形成,避免了二次刻铝,降低了制造成本和反刻铝的工艺难度。
