Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of monolithic integrated circuit technology, and in particular to a vertical BCD device and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] The mainstream power semiconductor integration technology is the Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS process (BCD process for short). The BCD process is a process that integrates Bipolar devices, CMOS devices, and DMOS devices on the same silicon substrate. Among them, Bipolar devices have the characteristics of high and low noise, high precision, and high current density per unit area, while CMOS devices have the characteristics of high integration, simple logic control, and low power consumption. When integrated with high-power DMOS devices on a chip, it has the advantages of improving system performance, reducing cost, and reducing power consumption.
[0003] The existing mature BCD process is a planar structure. LDMOS is widely used because it is more compatible with CMOS process. However, due to its lateral structure, it is limited by the on-resistance and cannot provide large current. It can only meet the needs of low-power applications. To meet the high-power requirements, VDMOS devices need to be integrated in the BCD process. However, since VDMOS is a vertical structure, its compatibility with planar structure process is poor.

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0063] The following is combined with Figures 1-12 This invention describes a vertical BCD device and its fabrication method.
[0064] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vertical BCD device provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0065] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a vertical BCD device, comprising: an N-type substrate 1, a first N-type epitaxial layer 2, a second N-type epitaxial layer 3, a BCD structure, and a Trench VDMOS structure; the first N-type epitaxial layer 2 is epitaxially grown on the surface of the N-type substrate 1, and the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 is epitaxially grown on the surface of the first N-type epitaxial layer 2; the BCD structure is disposed on the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, and the Trench VDMOS structure is formed on the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 by etching, oxidation, deposition, photolithography, and ion implantation processes; the BCD structure is provided with a VBB lead 14 and a GND lead 15, the Trench VDMOS structure is provided with a Trench VDMOS source lead 13, and the drain lead 16 of the Trench VDMOS structure is disposed on the side of the N-type substrate 1 away from the first N-type epitaxial layer 2.
[0066] In a specific implementation, the N-type substrate 1 side is defined as the bottom side, and the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 side is defined as the top side, such as... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The left side is the bottom side. Figure 1 The right side is the top side. The N-type substrate 1, the first N-type epitaxial layer 2, and the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 are arranged sequentially in the longitudinal direction. The first N-type epitaxial layer 2 is obtained by epitaxial growth on the upper surface of the N-type substrate 1, and a P-type buried layer 4 is disposed inside the first N-type epitaxial layer 2, such as... Figure 1 Three P-type buried layers 4 are provided, and then a second N-type epitaxial layer 3 is epitaxially grown on the upper surface of the first N-type epitaxial layer 2. Both the BCD structure and the TrenchVDMOS structure are disposed within the second N-type epitaxial layer 3.
[0067] By integrating the BCD structure and the Trench VDMOS structure within the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, the compatibility issue between the BCD process and VDMOS can be effectively resolved. Furthermore, since the DMOS uses a Trench VDMOS, and the drain is led out from the back of the BCD device and the side of the N-type substrate 1 furthest from the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, under the same voltage withstand capability, the vertically stacked structure of the N-type substrate 1, the first N-type epitaxial layer 2, and the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 results in a smaller chip area, higher chip utilization, and reduced complexity of high-voltage interconnects compared to the BCD process integrating planar VDMOS.
[0068] Furthermore, the P-type buried layer 4 serves as the base region of the parasitic NPN transistor. By adjusting the concentration of the P-type buried layer 4, the conduction of the parasitic NPN transistor can be suppressed, preventing latch-up effects and effectively protecting the device from overheating and burning out.
[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the Trench VDMOS structure in this embodiment includes: a Trench VDMOS trench region 7, a Trench VDMOS gate 8, and a Trench VDMOS PB region 9; the Trench VDMOS trench region 7 is formed on the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 by an etching process; the Trench VDMOS gate 8 is formed inside the Trench VDMOS trench region 7 by an oxidation process and a deposition process; the Trench VDMOS PB region 9 is formed in the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 and is located on both sides of the Trench VDMOS gate 8.
[0070] Specifically, an etching process is used to etch the upper surface of the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 to form a Trench VDMOS trench region 7. The Trench VDMOS trench region 7 contains a Trench VDMOS gate 8, while the Trench VDMOS trench region 7 is surrounded by a Trench VDMOS PB region 9. Therefore, the Trench VDMOS trench region 7 separates the Trench VDMOS gate 8 from the Trench VDMOS PB region 9. The Trench VDMOS trench region 7, the Trench VDMOS gate 8, and the Trench VDMOS PB region 9 are all integrated with the BCD structure on the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, better achieving compatibility between the BCD process and VDMOS.
[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the BCD structure in this embodiment includes: a P-type buried layer, a DPW region 5, a DNW region 6, an LDMOS device, a CMOS device, and a Bipolar device; the P-type buried layer is disposed inside the first N-type epitaxial layer, the DPW region 5 is formed inside the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, the DPW region 5 and the P-type buried layer 4 form an isolation island structure, and the DPW region 5 is connected to the P-type buried layer 4; the LDMOS device, the CMOS device, and the Bipolar device are sequentially fabricated inside the isolation island structure; the DNW region 6 is formed inside the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, the DNW region 6 is disposed between the DPW regions 5, and shallow trench isolation regions 10 are disposed between the Trench VDMOS structure and the BCD structure, and between the LDMOS device, the CMOS device, and the Bipolar device.
[0072] Specifically, a DPW region 5 is formed on the upper surface of the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 through high-energy injection and high-temperature push-bonding, and a deep DNW region 6 is formed through a high-temperature push-well process. The DPW region 5 is connected to the P-type buried layer 4 in the longitudinal direction. Figure 1 As shown, in the non-TrenchVDMOS region, DPW region 5 and DNW region 6 are spaced apart, thus forming isolation islands between DPW regions 5 with P-type buried layers 4. LDMOS devices, CMOS devices, and Bipolar devices are respectively disposed within these isolation islands. Figure 1As shown, three P-type buried layers 4 are configured, forming isolation island structures with the corresponding DPW region 5 and DNW region 6, respectively. An LDMOS device is placed inside the first isolation island structure to form an LDMOS region, a CMOS device is placed inside the second isolation island structure to form a CMOS region, and a Bipolar device is placed inside the third isolation island structure to form a Bipolar region. This allows for the integration of the Trench VDMOS trench region 7, Trench VDMOS gate 8, Trench VDMOS PB region 9, DPW region 5, DNW region 6, LDMOS device, CMOS device, and Bipolar device within the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, improving the compatibility of the BCD process with VDMOS.
[0073] Among them, the ions implanted in DPW region 5 are P-type ions such as boron ions, the ions implanted in DNW region 6 are N-type ions such as phosphorus ions, and the ions implanted in P-type buried layer 4 are boron ions.
[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further includes: a P+ contact region 11 and an N+ contact region 12; both the P+ contact region 11 and the N+ contact region 12 are disposed on the surface of the Trench VDMOS PB region 9; the P+ contact region 11 is also disposed on the surface of the DPW region 5, and the N+ contact region 12 is also disposed on the surface of the DNW region 6; a shallow trench isolation region 10 is also disposed between the P+ contact region 11 disposed on the surface of the DPW region 5 and the N+ contact region 12 disposed on the surface of the DNW region 6.
[0075] Specifically, P+ contact region 11 and N+ contact region 12 are used to form the drain and source of the P-type MOS device, the drain and source of the N-type MOS device, the lead-out terminal of the DPW, and the lead-out terminal of the DNW, respectively. P+ contact region 11 and N+ contact region 12 are formed on the surface of the Trench VDMOS PB region 9 on the second N-type epitaxial layer 3. P+ contact region 11 and N+ contact region 12 are formed on both sides of the PB region of the Trench VDMOS trench region 7, and then the Trench VDMOS source is led out. P+ contact region 11 is formed on the upper surface of each DPW region 5, and N+ contact region 12 is formed on the upper surface of each DNW, and both are effectively isolated by the shallow trench isolation region 10. VBB is led out from the P+ contact region 11 on the surface of each DPW region 5, and GND is led out from the N+ contact region 12 on the surface of each DNW region 6.
[0076] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, the thickness of the first N-type epitaxial layer 2 in this embodiment is 7.0-8.0 μm, and the resistivity is 3.0-5.0 ohm*cm; the thickness of the second N-type epitaxial layer 3 is 6.4-6.8 μm, and the resistivity is 1.1-1.3 ohm*cm.
[0077] In this invention, the LDMOS device, CMOS device, and Bipolar device in the vertical BCD device are all fabricated within an isolation island formed by the DPW region 5 and the P-type buried layer 4. The lead-out structure formed by the P-type buried layer 4 and the DPW region 5 is biased to ground potential on the chip surface, forming a reverse-biased diode between the DPW region 5 and the P-type buried layer 4 and the first N-type epitaxial layer 2. This ensures electrical insulation between the other devices and the substrate in the vertical direction, resulting in strong anti-interference capability of the vertical BCD device. Simultaneously, the Trench VDMOS trench region 7, Trench VDMOS gate 8, and Trench VDMOS PB region 9 are integrated, effectively improving the compatibility of the vertical BCD device with VDMOS.
[0078] In traditional BCD technology, the substrate is a P-type substrate, and the device leads are all front-side out. Only LDMOS or VDMOS with front-side leads can be integrated, but both are limited by on-resistance. Since LDMOS has a lateral structure, the on-resistance limitation prevents it from providing large currents, limiting its application to low-power applications and failing to meet the demands of high-power motor drives. However, in the BCD device with integrated VDMOS of this invention, the drain of the N-type substrate (Trench VDMOS) is connected to a high voltage during use. To avoid the influence of this voltage on the BCD device, each BCD device is placed within an isolation island composed of the DPW region and the P-type buried layer. When the N-type substrate is connected to a high voltage, the DPW and P-type buried layer form a reverse-biased diode with the N-type substrate, providing isolation. Therefore, the BCD device is not affected by the high voltage on the N-type substrate during operation.
[0079] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of the fabrication method of the vertical BCD device provided in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0080] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the method for fabricating a vertical BCD device provided in this embodiment of the invention mainly includes the following steps:
[0081] 101. Select crystal orientation as <100> N-type substrate.
[0082] 102. A first N-type epitaxial layer is grown on an N-type substrate. Using a P-type buried layer photomask, a P-type buried layer ion implantation region is formed in the first N-type epitaxial layer by photolithography. Boron ions are then implanted in the P-type buried layer ion implantation region by ion implantation, and furnace tube push-bonding is performed at a temperature of 1000-1100℃ to form a P-type buried layer.
[0083] Among them, the ion implantation energy of the P-type buried layer 4 is 50 keV to 80 keV, and the implantation dose is 5.5E13cm. -2 ~8.5E13cm -2 .
[0084] 103. Continue to grow a second N-type epitaxial layer on the P-type buried layer.
[0085] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the structure formed after steps 101, 102, and 103, relating to the N-type substrate 1, the first N-type epitaxial layer 2, the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, and the P-type buried layer 4. Figure 3 The structural relationship between the N-type substrate 1, the first N-type epitaxial layer 2, the second N-type epitaxial layer 3, and the P-type buried layer 4 can be clearly understood.
[0086] 104. Using the DPW photomask, the DPW region is formed in the second N-type epitaxial layer by photolithography, and then the DPW region is implanted with ions by ion implantation.
[0087] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the structure after the formation of DPW region 5. Figure 4 An isolation island structure can be obtained between DPW region 5 and P-type buried layer 4, and DPW region 5 and P-type buried layer 4 are connected. The high-temperature push-bonding temperature for forming DPW region 5 can be 1100-1150℃, and the time is 120-180 minutes.
[0088] In this process, ion implantation of DPW region 5 was selectively performed in three stages. The first ion implantation energy was 1500 keV–1700 keV, and the implantation dose was 2.0E12cm. -2 ~3.0E12cm -2 The second ion implantation energy was 400 keV–800 keV, and the implantation dose was 1.5E12cm. -2 ~2.5E12cm -2 The third ion implantation energy was 120 keV–180 keV, and the implantation dose was 1.0E12cm. -2 ~2.0E12cm -2 .
[0089] 105. Using the DNW photomask, the DNW region is formed in the second N-type epitaxial layer by photolithography, and then the DNW region is implanted with ions by ion implantation.
[0090] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic after the formation of DNW region 6. Figure 5 The relationship between DPW zone 5, P-type buried layer 4 and DNW zone 6 can be seen, and the DPW zone and DNW zone are set at intervals.
[0091] The DNW region 5 underwent selective ion implantation in three stages. The first stage involved implantation at an energy of 2800 keV–3200 keV and an implantation dose of 4.5E12cm. -2 ~5.5E12cm -2 The second ion implantation energy was 1100 keV–1400 keV, and the implantation dose was 4.0E12cm. -2 ~5.0E12cm -2 The third ion implantation energy was 120 keV–180 keV, and the implantation dose was 3.5E12cm. -2 ~4.5E12cm -2 .
[0092] It should be noted that there is no logical order between steps 105 and 104.
[0093] 106. A silicon dioxide layer is formed on the surface of the second N-type epitaxial layer using a deposition process.
