[0054] In one embodiment, the first source doping layer 810 is connected to the N-type connection region 830 via a plurality of first N-type channel structures 410 , and the second source doping layer 820 is connected to the N-type connection region 830 via a plurality of second N-type channel structures 420 .
[0055] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 As shown, in step S30, an N-type connection region 830 is formed on the voltage channel layer 210, and a first source doping layer 810, a second source doping layer 820 and a plurality of alternating P-type doping structures and N-type channel structures are formed on both sides of the N-type connection region 830, including steps S311 to S313.
[0056] In step S311 , an N-type epitaxial layer 400 is epitaxially grown on the voltage channel layer 210 and the P-type switch isolation layer 300 .
[0057] In this embodiment, see Figure 6 As shown, an N-type epitaxial layer 400 is epitaxially grown on the voltage channel layer 210 and the P-type switch isolation layer (ie, the first switch isolation region 311 and the second switch isolation region 321 ) using an N-type semiconductor material epitaxial growth process.
[0058] In step S312, the first preset etching area on the N-type epitaxial layer 400 is etched to form a plurality of first etched deep grooves 301 and a plurality of first N-type channel structures 410, and the second preset etching area on the N-type epitaxial layer 400 is etched to form a plurality of second etched deep grooves 302 and a plurality of second N-type channel structures 420, so as to form an N-type connection region 830, a first source doping layer 810 and a second source doping layer 820 on the voltage channel layer 210.
[0059] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4As shown, a first predetermined etching area on the N-type epitaxial layer 400 is etched to form a plurality of first etched deep grooves 301, and the first etched deep grooves 301 penetrate into the first switch isolation region 311, thereby dividing the N-type epitaxial layer 400 on the first switch isolation region 311 into a plurality of first N-type channel structures 410, a first source doping layer 810, and an N-type connection region 830. The first source doping layer 810 and the N-type connection region 830 are located in the plurality of first N-type channel structures 410. On both sides, the second preset etching area on the N-type epitaxial layer 400 is etched to form a plurality of second etched deep grooves 302, and the second etched deep grooves 302 penetrate into the second switch isolation area 321, thereby dividing the N-type epitaxial layer 400 on the second switch isolation area 321 into a second N-type channel structure 420, a second source doping layer 820, and an N-type connection area 830. The second source doping layer 820 and the N-type connection area 830 are located on both sides of the second N-type channel structure 420.
[0060] In one embodiment, the first etched deep trench 301 extends deep into the first switch isolation region 311 so that adjacent first N-type channel structures 410 do not contact each other, and the second etched deep trench 302 extends deep into the second switch isolation region 321 so that adjacent second N-type channel structures 420 do not contact each other.
[0061] In step S313 , a first P-type doping structure 312 contacting the first switch isolation region 311 is formed in the first etched trench 301 , and a second P-type doping structure 322 contacting the second switch isolation region 321 is formed in the second etched trench 302 .
[0062] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 7 As shown, the first etched deep trench 301 penetrates into the first switch isolation region 311 , and the first P-type doped structure 312 contacts the first switch isolation region 311 ; the second etched deep trench 302 penetrates into the second switch isolation region 321 , and the second P-type doped structure 322 contacts the second switch isolation region 321 .
[0063] In one embodiment, combined Figure 7 As shown, there may be multiple first P-type doping structures 312 , which are arranged in parallel and formed by filling the P-type doping material with multiple first etched deep trenches 301 .
[0064] In one embodiment, combined Figure 7As shown, the first preset etching area is used to determine the position of the first P-type doping structure 312 in the N-type epitaxial layer 400, and the second preset etching area is used to determine the position of the second P-type doping structure 322 in the N-type epitaxial layer 400. By determining the positions of the first P-type doping structure 312 and the second P-type doping structure 322, the structure between the first P-type doping structure 312 and the second P-type doping structure 322 is used as the N-type connection area 830. Therefore, the first preset etching area is located above the first P-type doping structure 312, the second preset etching area is located above the second P-type doping structure 322, and the N-type connection area 830 is located between the first preset etching area and the second preset etching area.

[0066] In one embodiment, the widths of the plurality of first P-type doping structures 312 are equal.
[0067] In one embodiment, a plurality of second P-type doping structures 322 are arranged in parallel.
[0068] In one embodiment, the widths of the plurality of second P-type doping structures 322 are equal.
[0069] In one embodiment, in step S313 , forming a first P-type doped structure 312 in contact with the first switch isolation region 311 in the first etched deep trench 301 includes depositing a P-type semiconductor material in the first etched deep trench 301 to form the first P-type doped structure 312 .
[0070] In this embodiment, a first P-type doping structure 312 is formed by filling the first etched deep groove 301 with P-type doping material under the cover of a P-type doping mask. The first source doping layer 312 and the N-type connection region 830 are located on both sides of the first P-type doping structure 312, and the first source doping layer 312 and the N-type connection region 830 are both in contact with the first P-type doping structure 312.
[0071] In one embodiment, in step S313 , forming a second P-type doped structure in contact with the second switch isolation region 321 in the second etched deep trench 302 includes depositing a P-type semiconductor material in the second etched deep trench 302 to form the second P-type doped structure 322 .
[0072] In this embodiment, a second P-type doping structure 322 is formed by filling the second etched deep groove 302 with P-type doping material under the cover of a P-type doping mask. Since the second etched deep groove 302 penetrates into the second switch isolation area 321, the N-type epitaxial layer 400 at the position of the second source doping layer 322 and the N-type connection area 830 is not etched, so that the second source doping layer 322 and the N-type connection area 830 are located on both sides of the second P-type doping structure 322, and the second source doping layer 322 and the N-type connection area 830 are both in contact with the second P-type doping structure 322.

[0074] In step S321 , N-type semiconductor material is epitaxially grown on the voltage channel layer 210 and the P-type switch isolation layer 300 under the cover of a first photomask to form an N-type connection region 830 , a first N-type channel structure 410 , a second N-type channel structure 420 , a first source doping layer 810 , and a second source doping layer 820 .
[0075] In this embodiment, the positions of the N-type connection region 830, the first N-type channel structure 410, the second N-type channel structure 420, the first source doping layer 810 and the second source doping layer 820 are defined by a first mask, and then an N-type semiconductor material is deposited or epitaxially grown under the cover of the first mask, thereby forming an N-type connection region 830 on the voltage channel layer 210, forming a plurality of first N-type channel structures 410 and a first source doping layer 810 on the first switch isolation region 311, and forming a plurality of second N-type channel structures 420 and a second source doping layer 820 on the second switch isolation region 321.
[0076] In this embodiment, the first source doping layer 810 and the N-type connection region 830 are located on both sides of the first N-type channel structure 410 , and the second source doping layer 820 and the N-type connection region 830 are located on both sides of the second N-type channel structure 420 .
[0077] In one embodiment, the N-type semiconductor material may be N-type silicon carbide, N-type silicon, or N-type gallium nitride.
[0078] In step S322 , under the cover of a second mask, a first P-type doping structure contacting the first switch isolation region is formed between adjacent first N-type channel structures 410 , and a second P-type doping structure contacting the second switch isolation region 321 is formed between adjacent second N-type channel structures 420 .
[0079] In this embodiment, the second mask is used to cover the positions of the N-type connection area 830, the first N-type channel structure 410, the second N-type channel structure 420, the first source doping layer 810 and the second source doping layer 820. By depositing P-type semiconductor material under the cover of the second mask, a first P-type doping structure 312 in contact with the first switch isolation area 311 is formed between adjacent first N-type channel structures 410, and a second P-type doping structure 322 in contact with the second switch isolation area 321 is formed between adjacent second N-type channel structures 420.
[0080] In one embodiment, the P-type semiconductor material may be P-type silicon carbide, P-type silicon, or P-type gallium nitride.
[0081] In one embodiment, in order to increase the thickness of the N-type connection region 830, the first N-type channel structure 410, the second N-type channel structure 420, the first source doping layer 810, and the second source doping layer 820, the above-mentioned step S321 and step S322 can be performed alternately, and the first mask and the second mask are used to alternately epitaxially grow N-type semiconductor material and P-type semiconductor material, thereby increasing the thickness of the N-type connection region 830, the first N-type channel structure 410, the second N-type channel structure 420, the first source doping layer 810, the second source doping layer 820, the first P-type doping structure 312, and the second P-type doping structure 322 through multiple epitaxial preparation processes.
[0082] In one embodiment, the first N-type channel structure 410 is located on both sides of the first P-type doping structure 312 , and the second N-type channel structure 420 is located on both sides of the second P-type doping structure 322 .
[0083] In one embodiment, the plurality of first N-type channel structures 410 and the plurality of second N-type channel structures 420 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0084] In one embodiment, the first N-type channel structure 410 and the second N-type channel structure 420 have the same width.
[0085] In one embodiment, the device's withstand voltage can be increased by designing the wafer thickness, thereby increasing the width of the device to accommodate the switching of the vertical transistor, thereby achieving high current density and high breakdown voltage within the same chip area. Although the connection region 830 is added compared to conventional device designs, as process evolution allows for the introduction of more high aspect ratio technologies, the vertical transistor in this embodiment has significant development potential.
[0086] In step S40 , a gate metal layer is formed on the P-type doped structure.
[0087] In this embodiment, the gate metal layer is formed on the first P-type doping structure 312 and the second P-type doping structure 322 , and the gate metal layer is insulated from the first N-type channel structure 410 and the second N-type channel structure 420 .
[0088] In one embodiment, a first gate metal layer is formed on the first P-type doping structure 312 , and a second gate metal layer is formed on the second P-type doping structure 322 .
[0089] In step S50 , a drain metal layer 850 is formed on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 .
[0090] In this embodiment, see Figure 9 As shown, the drain metal layer 850 can be formed in a partial area of the back side of the semiconductor substrate 100 or cover the entire back side of the semiconductor substrate 100 .
[0091] In one embodiment, the N-type connection region 830 , the first source doping layer 810 , and the second source doping layer 820 are disposed in parallel.
[0092] In one embodiment, the first P-type doped structure 312 and the first switch isolation region 311 are both P-type doped semiconductors, and the first N-type channel structure 410 and the first P-type doped structure 312 are alternately arranged to form a fin-shaped JFET structure. The first switch isolation region 311 is also used to isolate the first N-type channel structure 410 and the N-type drift layer 200. Taking the enhancement-type vertical transistor device as an example, a high voltage is connected to the first gate metal layer, which can reduce the depletion region of the JFET structure under the fin gate, thereby turning on the device. If the voltage connected to the first gate metal layer is less than the turn-off threshold voltage, the depletion region of the JFET structure under the fin gate can be kept unchanged, thereby turning off the device.
[0093] In practical applications, if the transistor device is a depletion-type normally-on device, a negative voltage needs to be connected to the first gate metal layer to turn off the transistor.
[0094] Similarly, the fin-shaped JFET structure formed by the second switch isolation region 321 , the second source doping layer 820 , the N-type connection region 830 , the second P-type doping structure 322 and the second N-type channel structure 420 has the same working mechanism.

[0096] An embodiment of the present application further provides a chip, in which a vertical transistor prepared by any of the preparation methods described above is integrated.
[0097] In one embodiment, the chip integrates a vertical transistor manufactured by the manufacturing method described in the above embodiment.
