Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor, in particular to a SGT device and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Power MOSFET devices with shield gate trench (SGT) can achieve low on-resistance (Rdson) and low reverse recovery capacitance (Crss) at the same time, thereby reducing the on-loss and switching loss of the system at the same time and improving the efficiency of the system.
[0003] The gate structure of the SGT device includes a shield gate (also known as source polysilicon or shield polysilicon) and a control gate (also known as polysilicon gate), both of which are formed in a trench. According to the different settings of the shield gate and the control gate in the trench, it is usually divided into up-down structure and left-right structure. In the up-down structure, the shield gate is located at the bottom of the trench, the control gate is located at the top of the trench, the shield gate and the control gate are in an up-down structure relationship, and the inter-poly oxide (IPO) is located between the shield gate and the control gate.
[0004] In the one-step forming SGT device IPO layer forming process, after etching back the liner oxide, the trench sidewall and the top of the shield gate are exposed. During the formation of the gate oxide (GOX), the doping ions (for example, phosphorus ions) in the shield gate are easy to diffuse to the trench sidewall, causing pollution to the trench sidewall, resulting in poor GOX thickness uniformity and poor threshold voltage (Vth) consistency. In addition, the one-step forming SGT device IPO layer is formed by thermal oxidation of the shield gate, and the thickness of the IPO layer is mainly determined by the ion doping concentration of the shield gate and the oxidation temperature. High doping concentration is easy to cause filling problem, and ion diffusion may also cause gate leakage current (IGSS) to rise or device failure and other problems.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new SGT device and a manufacturing method thereof to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0039] For a thorough understanding of the present application, reference should be made to the following detailed description together with the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0040] In a one-step SGT device inter-gate oxide (IPO) formation process, after etching back the liner oxide, the trench sidewall and the top of the shield gate are exposed. During the gate oxide (GOX) formation, the dopant ions (e.g. phosphorus ions) in the shield gate can easily diffuse to the trench sidewall, causing contamination to the trench sidewall, resulting in poor GOX thickness uniformity and poor threshold voltage (Vth) consistency. In addition, the one-step SGT device IPO layer is formed by thermal oxidation of the shield gate. The thickness of the IPO layer is mainly determined by the ion doping concentration of the shield gate and the oxidation temperature. Too high doping concentration can easily cause filling problems. Ion diffusion can also cause gate leakage current (IGSS) to increase or device failure, etc.
[0041] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a manufacturing method of an SGT device, as shown in Figure 1 The method mainly comprises the following steps:
[0042] Step S101: providing a semiconductor substrate in which a trench is formed, an inner surface of the trench is covered with a first dielectric layer, and a shield gate is formed in the trench;
[0043] Step S102: etching back the first dielectric layer to expose a top of the shield gate and a semiconductor substrate of the trench sidewall;
[0044] Step S103: depositing a dielectric material layer covering the top of the shield gate, the top of the first dielectric layer and the trench sidewall;
[0045] Step S104: etching back the dielectric material layer, the remaining dielectric material of the top of the shield gate as a second dielectric layer.
[0046] Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the SGT device of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, Figures 2A to 2F Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a device obtained from the relevant steps of the manufacturing method of the SGT device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0047] Firstly, step S101 is performed, as shown in Fig. 1, a semiconductor substrate 200 is provided, in which a trench is formed, an inner surface of the trench is covered with a first dielectric layer 201, and a shield gate 202 is formed in the trench. Figure 2A
[0048] Exemplarily, the semiconductor substrate 200 can be any suitable semiconductor material known to those skilled in the art, such as germanium or silicon or a combination thereof, etc. The semiconductor substrate 200 has a first conductivity type, such as N-type or P-type, which is reasonably selected according to the type of the device to be prepared in practice. In the present embodiment, the conductivity type of the semiconductor substrate 200 is N-type.
[0049] In an embodiment, the semiconductor substrate 200 can be at least one of the following materials: silicon, silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-on-insulator stacked silicon (SSOI), silicon-on-insulator stacked germanium silicon (S-SiGeOI), silicon germanium on insulator (SiGeOI), and germanium on insulator (GeOI), etc. As an example, in the present embodiment, the constituent material of the semiconductor substrate 200 is selected to be monocrystalline silicon.
[0050] Exemplarily, the material of the first dielectric layer 201 can use any suitable insulating material, and optionally, the material of the first dielectric layer 201 can include one or more of SiO2, SiCN, SiN, SiC, SiOF, SiON. The first dielectric layer 201 can be formed using a chemical vapor deposition method, an atomic layer deposition method, or a physical vapor deposition method, etc.
[0051] In one embodiment, the first dielectric layer 201 is a liner oxide. The material of the first dielectric layer 201 includes an oxide, such as silicon oxide. In this embodiment, the first dielectric layer 201 is silicon oxide, which can be formed by thermal oxidation of the surface of the semiconductor substrate 200.
[0052] Exemplarily, the shield gate 202 includes one or more of polysilicon, metal, conductive metal nitride, conductive metal oxide, and metal silicide, wherein the material of the metal gate can be tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), or titanium (Ti); the conductive metal nitride includes titanium nitride (TiN); the conductive metal oxide includes iridium oxide (IrO2); and the metal silicide includes titanium silicide (TiSi). In this embodiment, the material of the shield gate 202 includes polysilicon (Poly).
[0053] Exemplarily, the shield gate 202 can be formed by any prior art known to those skilled in the art, preferably by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), such as low temperature chemical vapor deposition (LTCVD), low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD), and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
[0054] Then, step S102 is performed, as shown in FIG. 2B, the first dielectric layer 201 is etched back to expose the top of the shield gate 202 and the semiconductor substrate of the trench sidewall. Figure 2B
[0055] Exemplarily, the etching back of the first dielectric layer 201 can be performed by dry etching or wet etching, and can use a single etching method or more than one etching method. In this embodiment, the wet etching process is used to etch back the first dielectric layer 201 until the top of the shield gate 202 and the semiconductor substrate of the trench sidewall are exposed. In one embodiment, the wet etching method can use a hydrofluoric acid solution, such as buffered oxide etchant (BOE) or buffered hydrofluoric acid solution (BHF).
[0056] It should be noted that due to the isotropic etching characteristics of wet etching, when the first dielectric layer 201 is etched back, it will not only etch in the direction perpendicular to the trench sidewall, but also etch in the direction parallel to the trench sidewall, resulting in the top surface of the etched first dielectric layer 201 being lower than the top surface of the shield gate 202, as shown in FIG. 2C. Figure 2B
[0057] Next, step S103 is performed, as shown in FIG. 2D, the second dielectric layer 202 is formed on the exposed top surface of the first dielectric layer 201 and the top of the shield gate 202. Figure 2C 2D A dielectric material layer is formed to cover the top of the shield gate, the top of the first dielectric layer and the sidewall of the trench.
[0058] Exemplarily, the step of forming the dielectric material layer to cover the top of the shield gate, the top of the first dielectric layer and the sidewall of the trench comprises the following steps:
[0059] performing a first chemical vapor deposition to form a first dielectric material layer 2031 having a first thickness on the top of the shield gate, the top of the first dielectric layer and the sidewall of the trench;
[0060] performing a second chemical vapor deposition to form a second dielectric material layer 2032 on the top of the shield gate, the top of the first dielectric layer and the sidewall of the trench, wherein the second dielectric material layer on the top of the shield gate has a second thickness, and the second dielectric material layer on the sidewall of the trench has a third thickness.
[0061] Exemplarily, the first chemical vapor deposition comprises sub-atmospheric chemical vapor deposition (SACVD). SACVD process refers to a chemical vapor deposition reaction in which the pressure in the chamber is 500 torr to 600 torr when the reaction gas is deposited. The sub-atmospheric chemical vapor deposition process has better step coverage and trench filling capability, and its reaction process is a pure chemical reaction without plasma damage.
[0062] In one embodiment, when chemical vapor deposition is performed using the SACVD process, the power is 200 W to 400 W, the temperature in the chamber is heated to 300 °C to 400 °C, the pressure in the chamber is 500 mTorr to 600 mTorr, the gas flow of O2 is 2000 to 6000 cubic centimeters per minute (sccm / slm), the gas flow of N2 is 4000 to 8000 cubic centimeters per minute (sccm), and the deposition time lasts for 80 to 100 s.
[0063] Referring to Figure 2C By the above steps, the first dielectric material layer 2031 having a first thickness is formed on the top of the shield gate, the top of the first dielectric layer and the sidewall of the trench, and the first thickness is in the range of
[0064] By first forming the first dielectric material layer 2031 having a first thickness on the top of the shield gate, the top of the first dielectric layer and the sidewall of the trench, the doped ions (e.g., phosphorus ions) in the shield gate are prevented from diffusing to the sidewall of the trench, the contamination to the sidewall of the trench is avoided, the GOX thickness uniformity is improved, and the threshold voltage (Vth) consistency is improved.
[0065] Exemplarily, the second chemical vapor deposition includes high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP-CVD). HDP-CVD is a kind of chemical vapor deposition equipment using inductively coupled plasma source. In order to avoid the pinch-off and voids in the middle of the gap when filling the gap with high aspect ratio, HDP-CVD synchronously performs deposition and etching processes in the same reaction chamber, while meeting the filling and cost control of high aspect ratio gap, and improving the trench or hole filling capacity.
[0066] In one embodiment, when chemical vapor deposition is performed by using HDP-CVD process, the power is 200W-400W, the temperature in the cavity is heated to 600-700℃, the pressure in the cavity is 800mTorr-1Torr, the gas flow of SiH4 is 100-140sccm, the gas flow of O2 is 260-300sccm, and the deposition time lasts for 60-90s.
[0067] Referring to Figure 2D By the above steps, a second dielectric material layer 2032 is formed on the top of the shield gate, the top of the first dielectric layer and the sidewall of the trench, wherein the second dielectric material layer on the top of the shield gate has a second thickness, the second dielectric material layer on the sidewall of the trench has a third thickness, the second thickness is in the range of The third thickness is in the range of
[0068] Next, step S104 is performed, as shown in Figure 2E The dielectric material layer is etched back, and the remaining dielectric material on the top of the shield gate serves as a second dielectric layer 203.
[0069] Exemplarily, the dielectric material layer can be etched back by dry etching or wet etching, and a single etching method or more than one etching method can be used. In this embodiment, the dielectric material layer is etched back by wet etching process. In one embodiment, the wet etching method can use hydrofluoric acid solution, such as buffered oxide etchant (BOE) or hydrofluoric acid buffered solution (BHF).
[0070] In one embodiment, the second dielectric layer 203 is an interpoly oxide layer (IPO). The material of the second dielectric layer 203 includes oxide, such as silicon oxide. The thickness of the second dielectric layer 203 is in the range of
[0071] As shown in Figure 2FAs shown, after forming the second dielectric layer 203, a step of forming a third dielectric layer 204 covering the trench sidewall is further included.

Here, the thickness of the second dielectric layer 203 is greater than the thickness of the third dielectric layer 204.
[0073] In one embodiment, in step S104, the dielectric material layer is etched back until the trench sidewall exposes the semiconductor substrate, the dielectric material remaining on top of the shield gate as the second dielectric layer 203, and then the exposed semiconductor substrate of the trench sidewall is oxidized to form the third dielectric layer 204 covering the trench sidewall.
[0074] In one embodiment, the exposed semiconductor substrate of the trench sidewall is oxidized by a thermal oxidation process, which includes dry oxygen oxidation or wet oxygen oxidation.
