Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor device technology, and more specifically, to a semiconductor device, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] In semiconductor device technology, trench-structured oxide-bypassed (OB) technology is widely used, such as in low- and medium-voltage metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and trench MOS barrier Schottky (TMBS) devices. It is also employed in fast recovery diodes (FRDs) and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). Typical mass-produced products include shielded-gate trench MOSFETs (SGT-MOSFETs). In a trench field-plate structure, all conductors are at the same potential as the surface metal electrodes when the device is reverse-biased. Its disadvantage is the uneven electric field distribution within the drift region, which becomes more uneven with increasing trench depth. The charge coupling strength between floating field plates is related to the area between the plates. To achieve ideal charge coupling, the trench width needs to be significantly increased, thus hindering device optimization. For side-passed MOSFETs, the electric field distribution in the drift region is uneven, falling short of the superjunction structure. This led to the design concept of graded oxide-by-passed (GOB) structures, which can optimize the electric field distribution in the drift region, achieving an approximately rectangular distribution and maximizing breakdown voltage. However, this structure has drawbacks: firstly, its fabrication process is difficult; secondly, different breakdown voltages correspond to different field oxide thicknesses—the higher the breakdown voltage, the thicker the field oxide layer, thus limiting the achievable maximum breakdown voltage.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 These are schematic diagrams of two semiconductor devices provided in this embodiment, wherein, Figure 1 The image shown is of a diode with a trench structure. Figure 2 The image shows a trench MOSFET device.
[0056] In this embodiment, the semiconductor device may mainly include a silicon wafer 100, a trench formed on the silicon wafer 100, an L-shaped multilayer first field plate polysilicon 131 in the trench, and a voltage dividing ring metal located on one side of the trench opening.
[0057] Specifically, a plurality of the trenches are located on the silicon wafer 100 and extend along a first direction D1, the first direction D1 being the direction from the terminal region to the active region. A first insulating layer 120 covering the inner wall of the trench is also provided within the trench.
[0058] The trench also contains multiple L-shaped first field plate polysilicon 131s and second insulating layers 140. These multiple layers of first field plate polysilicon 131s and second insulating layers 140 are alternately stacked and nested. Each first field plate polysilicon 131 includes a first extension extending along a first direction D1 and a second extension extending along a second direction D2, where D2 is the thickness direction of the silicon wafer 100. The first extension is located near the bottom of the trench, and the second extension is located at the end of the first extension near the terminal area. Adjacent first field plate polysilicon 131s are isolated from each other by the second insulating layer 140. The trench opening exposes the first polysilicon exposure area of the first field plate polysilicon 131.
[0059] For example, the (n+1)th layer of first field plate polysilicon 131, which is relatively closer to the trench opening, is located in the L-shaped opening of the nth layer of first field plate polysilicon 131, which is relatively closer to the bottom of the trench. The first extensions of a plurality of first field plate polysilicon 131 are stacked and arranged in a direction from the bottom of the trench to the trench opening, and the second extensions of a plurality of first field plate polysilicon 131 are arranged sequentially in a direction from the terminal region to the active region. Adjacent first field plate polysilicon 131 are isolated from each other by the second insulating layer 140.
[0060] Multiple voltage divider rings are located on one side of the trench opening, and each voltage divider ring electrically connects the first polysilicon exposed area of the first field plate polysilicon 131 on the same layer. For example, a second insulating layer 140 covering the trench opening is also provided on one side of the trench opening, and the voltage divider rings are located on the side of the second insulating layer 140 away from the silicon wafer 100. The voltage divider rings extend through a first contact hole 201 penetrating the second insulating layer 140 to make electrical contact with the first field plate polysilicon 131.
[0061] In one possible implementation, the semiconductor device may further include a plurality of voltage divider ring impurity regions 160. The plurality of spaced-apart voltage divider ring impurity regions 160 are formed on one side of the trench opening and extend along a third direction D3, which is perpendicular to the second direction D2 and intersects the first direction D1. Each voltage divider ring impurity region corresponds to the first polysilicon exposed area of the first field plate polysilicon 131 in the same layer. Preferably, the third direction D3 is perpendicular to both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.
[0062] The voltage divider ring metal electrically connects the first polysilicon exposed region of the first field plate polysilicon 131 in the same layer and the corresponding voltage divider ring impurity region. For example, the voltage divider ring metal extends through the second contact hole 202 penetrating the second insulating layer 140 to make electrical contact with the voltage divider ring impurity region, thereby electrically connecting the first polysilicon exposed region of the first field plate polysilicon 131 in the same layer and the corresponding voltage divider ring impurity region.
[0063] Based on the above design, the semiconductor device provided in this embodiment forms a voltage-dividing cascaded trench field plate structure by arranging the first field plate polysilicon 131 in the trench into multiple stacked L-shaped structures and connecting the first field plate polysilicon 131 in the same layer through voltage divider rings. In this way, by increasing the number of voltage-dividing cascaded field plates per unit trench depth, the electric field distribution in the drift region can be made closer to a rectangular distribution, achieving higher breakdown voltage efficiency. This increases the area of the active drift region, reduces the resistivity of the drift region, and improves the current density of the device.
[0064] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 3 In the first direction D1, the voltage divider ring impurity region 160 is located at the end of the first field plate polysilicon 131 exposed at the trench opening corresponding to the voltage divider ring impurity region 160, near the active region.
[0065] Furthermore, in the first direction D1, the first boundary of the voltage divider ring impurity region 160 near the active region is located between the two first polysilicon exposed regions, and is close to the first polysilicon exposed region corresponding to the voltage divider ring impurity region 160. In the first direction D1, the second boundary of the voltage divider ring impurity region 160 away from the active region does not exceed the first polysilicon exposed region corresponding to the voltage divider ring impurity region 160.
[0066] In one possible implementation, please refer again. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The length W1 of the drift region formed by the plurality of first field plate polysilicon 131 in the first direction D1 is greater than the length W2 in the second direction D2.
[0067] Please refer to this again. Figure 1 For trench diodes, the semiconductor device further includes a second field plate polysilicon 132, a main junction impurity region 170, and an active region electrode metal 220.
[0068] The second field plate polysilicon 132 is located in the L-shaped opening of the first field plate polysilicon 131 closest to the trench opening. The second field plate polysilicon 132 is rectangular and extends along the first direction D1. The second field plate polysilicon 132 is isolated from the first field plate polysilicon 131 by the second insulating layer 140.
[0069] The main junction impurity region 170 is located at the trench opening and corresponds to the position of the second field plate polysilicon 132. For example, the main junction impurity region 170 may extend along the third direction D3 and correspond to the positions of the second field plate polysilicon 132 exposed by the plurality of trenches.
[0070] The active region electrode metal 220 is located on one side of the trench opening. For example, the active region electrode metal 220 may be located on the side of the third insulating layer 200 away from the silicon wafer 100, and electrically contact the main junction impurity region 170 through the third contact hole 203 of the third insulating layer 200.
[0071] In addition, the semiconductor device may also include another electrode layer (not shown) located on the side of the silicon wafer 100 away from the trench opening and other components, which will not be described in detail here.
[0072] Please refer to this again. Figure 2 For trench MOSFET devices, the semiconductor device further includes a gate polysilicon 133, a main junction impurity region 170, an N+ source region 180, and an active region electrode metal 220.
[0073] The gate polysilicon 133 is located in the L-shaped opening of the first field plate polysilicon 131 closest to the trench opening. The gate polysilicon 133 is rectangular and extends along the first direction D1. The gate polysilicon 133 is isolated from the first field plate polysilicon 131 by a gate oxide layer.
[0074] The main junction impurity region 170 and the N+ source region 180 are located at the trench opening and correspond to the position of the gate polysilicon 133.
[0075] The active region electrode metal 220 is located on one side of the trench opening. For example, the active region electrode metal 220 may be located on the side of the third insulating layer 200 away from the silicon wafer 100, and electrically contact the main junction impurity region 170 and the N+ source region 180 through the third contact hole 203 of the third insulating layer 200. The active region electrode metal 220 may also electrically contact the first polysilicon exposed area of the first field plate polysilicon 131 closest to the trench opening through a first contact hole 201.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 4This embodiment also provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and the steps of the method are described in detail below.
[0077] Step S110: Provide a silicon wafer 100.
[0078] In this embodiment, the silicon wafer 100 can be an N-type silicon wafer 100. For example, the silicon wafer 100 can include a single wafer or an epitaxial wafer.
[0079] Step S120: A plurality of trenches 110 extending along a first direction D1 are formed on the silicon wafer 100, wherein the first direction D1 is the direction from the terminal region to the active region.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, a plurality of trenches 110 can be formed on the silicon wafer 100 by etching.
[0081] Step S130: A first insulating layer 120 is formed in the trench, covering the inner wall of the trench.
[0082] Please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, a field oxide layer can be formed by surface deposition or thermal oxidation as the first insulating layer 120.
[0083] Step S140, a multilayer first field plate polysilicon 131 and a second insulating layer 140 are sequentially formed in the trench.
[0084] Multiple layers of first field plate polysilicon 131 and second insulating layer 140 are alternately stacked and nested. The first field plate polysilicon 131 includes a first extension extending along a first direction D1 and a second extension extending along a second direction D2, where the second direction D2 is the thickness direction of the silicon wafer 100. The first extension is located near the bottom of the trench, and the second extension is located at the end of the first extension near the terminal area. Adjacent first field plate polysilicon 131 are isolated from each other by the second insulating layer 140. The first field plate polysilicon 131 of the same layer exposed at the openings of the plurality of trenches forms a first polysilicon exposure area.
[0085] In step S150, a plurality of voltage dividing ring metals are formed on one side of the trench opening, and each voltage dividing ring metal electrically connects the first polysilicon exposed area of the first field plate polysilicon 131 in the same layer.
[0086] Specifically, in step S140, the following steps can be repeated to form a multilayer first field plate polysilicon 131 and a second insulating layer 140.
[0087] The trench is filled with an nth layer of polysilicon, where n is greater than or equal to 1. The nth layer of polysilicon is then partially etched, retaining the portion near the bottom of the trench and away from the active region, forming an L-shaped first field plate polysilicon layer 131. An insulating dielectric is then deposited or polysilicon is oxidized within the trench to form a second insulating layer 140 covering the inner side of the L-shaped opening of the nth layer of first field plate polysilicon 131.
[0088] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 After step S140, the first layer of polysilicon 130 can be filled into the trench, and the polysilicon 130 on one side of the trench opening can be removed.
[0089] Then please see Figure 8 The first layer of polysilicon 130 filled by photolithography can be partially etched, retaining the portion near the bottom of the trench and away from the active region, so as to form an L-shaped first layer of first field plate polysilicon 131.
[0090] Then please see Figure 9 An insulating dielectric can be deposited in the trench or polycrystalline silicon can be oxidized to form an insulating dielectric located in the trench as the second insulating layer 140.
[0091] Then please see Figure 10 The second layer of polysilicon 130 can be refilled into the trench, and the polysilicon 130 on one side of the trench opening can be removed. Then, the above steps are repeated to locally etch the second layer of polysilicon 130, re-form the second insulating layer 140, and refill the third layer of polysilicon (e.g., ...). Figure 11 (As shown). Similarly, multiple layers of the first field plate polysilicon 131 and the second insulating layer 140 can be formed.
[0092] For diode devices, after step S140, local impurity doping can be formed on the surface using photolithography and ion implantation to form a main junction region and a voltage divider ring impurity region 160, or a barrier region such as silicide can be formed. Then, an insulating dielectric layer such as an oxide layer is deposited on the surface on one side of the trench opening to form the third insulating layer 200. Then, a third contact hole 203 exposing the source region, a second contact hole 202 exposing the voltage divider ring impurity region 160, and a second contact hole 202 exposing the first field plate polysilicon 131 are formed using photolithography and etching processes. Then, in step S150, metal is deposited on the side of the third insulating layer 200 away from the silicon wafer 100, and the active region electrode metal 220 and the voltage divider ring metal are formed using photolithography and etching processes to form... Figure 1 The structure shown.
[0093] For trench MOSFET devices, after step S140, the polysilicon in the trench can be partially removed by photolithography and etching, and the field oxide layer can be partially removed by wet etching. Then, a gate oxide layer can be formed by deposition or thermal oxidation. Polysilicon is then deposited to form the gate polysilicon 133. Local impurity doping is then formed on the surface using photolithography and ion implantation to form the main junction region and voltage divider ring impurity region 160, or a silicide barrier region. Then, local impurity doping is formed on the surface using photolithography and ion implantation to form the N+ source region 180. An insulating dielectric layer such as an oxide layer is then deposited on the surface on one side of the trench opening to form the third insulating layer 200. The first contact hole 201, the second contact hole 202, and the third contact hole 203 are formed using photolithography and etching. Then, in step S150, metal is deposited on the side of the third insulating layer 200 away from the silicon wafer 100, and the active region electrode metal 220 and the voltage divider ring metal are formed using photolithography and etching.
