[0002] Currently, in the existing technical field, breakdown voltage is the main parameter for measuring the performance of MOSFET devices and is one of the important indicators for engineers to select products. Generally, for MOSFET devices, the higher the breakdown voltage, the higher the on-resistance, and the larger the design size of the unit cell, which is mainly restricted by the raw material specifications and product design principles.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present invention provides a high-voltage MOSFET device with a double-groove structure, including an N+ substrate 1, a first N-epitaxial layer 2, a second N-epitaxial layer 3, a P+ masking layer 4, a first Trench groove 5, a source electrode 6, an N+ layer 9, an insulating layer 11, and a metal layer 12, which are sequentially stacked. Pwell regions 8 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first Trench groove 5, and second Trench grooves 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the two Pwell regions 8 away from the first Trench groove 5. One end of the Pwell region 8 is connected to the second N-epitaxial layer 3 and the P+ masking layer 4, and the other end is connected to the N+ layer 9 and the metal layer 12. Gates 10 are arranged on both sides of the two second Trench grooves 7 away from the Pwell region 8, and the gates 10 are also connected to the insulating layer 11. The components of the gates 10 and the source electrode 6 both include polysilicon.
[0050] In this embodiment, the high-voltage MOSFET device with a double-groove structure includes an N+ substrate 1, a first N-epitaxial layer 2, a second N-epitaxial layer 3, a P+ masking layer 4, a first Trench groove 5, a source electrode 6, an N+ layer 9, an insulating layer 11, and a metal layer 12, which are sequentially stacked from bottom to top. The source electrode 6 is arranged in the first Trench groove 5, and Pwell regions 8 are respectively arranged on both sides of the outer sidewall. One second Trench groove 7 is respectively arranged on one side of the two Pwell regions 8 away from the first Trench groove 5, that is, two second Trench grooves 7 are arranged, and a Pwell region 8 is arranged between each second Trench groove 7 and the first Trench groove 5. The first Trench groove 5 and the second Trench groove 7 are respectively on the left and right sides of the Pwell region 8, and the lower end is connected to the second N-epitaxial layer 3 and the P+ masking layer 4, and the upper end is connected to the metal layer 12 and the N+ layer 9. Gates 10 are arranged on the side of the second Trench groove away from the Pwell region 8, and the upper end of the gates 10 is connected to the insulating layer. Among them, the main components of the gates 10 and the source electrode 6 include polysilicon.
[0051] Specifically, the N+ substrate 1 is an important part of the conductive path of the high-voltage MOSFET device; the first N-epitaxial layer 2 is the inner epitaxy of the double-epitaxy structure in the embodiment of the present application, and the second N-epitaxial layer 3 is the surface epitaxy of the double-epitaxy structure in the embodiment of the present application. The specifications of the two epitaxial layers are different, but they bear the voltage at the same time. Optimizing the original single-epitaxial layer into a double-epitaxial structure can adjust the on-resistance to eliminate the influence. The P+ masking layer 4 is for improving the breakdown voltage; the first Trench groove 5 is an important part of the source electrode 6, and the second Trench groove 7 is an important part of the gate in the embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application optimizes the original planar high-voltage structure product into a double-groove structure high-voltage MOSFET device, reducing the size of the MOSFET device, that is, achieving a reduction in the overall size of the MOSFET device under the same performance specifications. The source electrode 6 is used to adjust the electric field distribution of the MOSFET device; the Pwell region 8 is used to bear the voltage; the N+ layer 9 is an important part of the conductive path; the insulating layer 11 is used to isolate the gate from the gate to prevent short-circuit contact between the two; the metal layer 12 is used for conduction and contact connection with the source electrode 6. Among them, the first N-epitaxial layer 2 and the second N-epitaxial layer 3 are stacked on the front surface of the N+ substrate 1, and the material of the front surface of the N+ substrate 1 is aluminum. The back surface of the N+ substrate 1 includes a stacked Ti-Ni-Ag structure.
[0052] Specifically, in actual product design, the Trench groove structure is usually applied to the design of low-voltage MOSFET products (usually referring to products with a breakdown voltage < 300V), mainly limited by the fact that as the voltage level increases, breakdown is likely to occur at the trench. In the embodiment of the present application, by using the P+ masking layer 4 and the method of setting polysilicon both inside the source electrode 6 and inside the gate 10, a breakdown voltage of more than 300V is achieved.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a structural diagram of a conventional planar MOSFET design. Taking a 900V high-voltage MOSFET product as an example, its unit cell design size is 15um. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the electric field distribution of a conventional planar MOSFET. When a positive voltage is applied between the D (device drain) and S (device source), the device operates in reverse. At this time, the breakdown voltage structure of the device is mainly borne by the diode formed by the raw material and the Pwell and N-epitaxial layers. The reverse-formed depletion region is shown by the dotted line, the electric field is shown by the arrow, and the direction of the electric field is the longitudinal Y direction.
[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , Figure 1This is the design structure diagram of the double-groove MOSFET in the embodiment of the present application. Taking the 900V high-voltage MOSFET product as an example, the parameters of the high-voltage MOSFET device in the embodiment of the present application are based on the 900V high voltage of the high-voltage MOSFET product, which will not be elaborated below. Figure 4 This is the schematic diagram of the electric field distribution of the double-groove MOSFET in the embodiment of the present application. When a positive voltage is applied between D (device drain) and S (device source), the device operates in reverse. At this time, the voltage withstand structure of the device is mainly borne by the diode formed by the raw material, the Pwell region 8, the P+ mask layer 4 and the two N-epitaxial layers. And due to the presence of polysilicon in the source 6, it plays a role in improving the electric field structure, generating a transverse electric field component from the original longitudinal electric field, thereby improving the voltage withstand ability of the product. The reverse-formed depletion region is shown by the dotted line, and the electric field is shown by the arrow.
[0055] Furthermore, the size of the high-voltage MOSFET device is 6.5 - 8.5 μm.
[0056] The original designed width dimension of the single cell of the high-voltage MOSFET device is 15 μm (which can be regarded as the width of the device). Using the structure in the embodiment of the present application for design, without changing the length and height dimensions of the single cell of the high-voltage MOSFET device, the designed width dimension of the single cell of the high-voltage MOSFET device can be optimized to 7.5 μm. Therefore, without changing the chip design size, the chip can accommodate the changed single cells as a whole, and the resistance parameters of the device are further optimized; and without changing the resistance parameters of the device, the chip design area can be reduced by about 2 times. That is, 50% of the design size can be saved. Under the same voltage level, the high-voltage Trench structure in the embodiment of the present application is only 50% of the size of the high-voltage planar structure, which means the chip size / area can be reduced by 50%. On the same wafer size, more effective die can be obtained, and the production cost is reduced by 50%.
[0057] Furthermore, the width of the first Trench groove 5 is 1 - 2 μm, and the depth is 4 - 5 μm; the width of the second Trench groove 7 is 0.5 - 1.5 μm, and the depth is 1.5 - 2.5 μm.
[0058] In this embodiment, the width of the first Trench groove 5 is preferably 1.2 μm, and the depth is preferably 4.5 μm; the width of the second Trench groove 7 is preferably 1.0 μm, and the depth is preferably 1.8 μm.
[0059] Furthermore, a JFET region 71 is provided at the bottom of the second Trench groove 7.
[0060] In this embodiment, a JFET region 71 is further provided at the bottom of the trench of the second Trench groove 7. In theory, the on-resistance of a Trench trench structure product is usually lower than that of a planar structure product, but this is only limited to the design of low-voltage MOSFET products. Because in a high-voltage Trench structure, the resistance of the JFET region accounts for a large proportion of the on-resistance. If it cannot be eliminated, the product advantages will disappear. In the embodiment of the present application, the on-resistance is adjusted by designing a double epitaxial structure, and at the same time, the JFET injection method can better reduce the influence of the JFET region 71 on the on-resistance.

First, fill the first Trench groove 5 and the second Trench groove 7 with polysilicon by chemical vapor deposition, and use in-situ doping technology to synchronously dope the polysilicon to form the source and gate mainly composed of polysilicon. Subsequently, use CMP to remove the polysilicon on the surface. Finally, perform a large-area implantation by ion implantation, and form the Pwell region 8 by thermal oxidation diffusion pushing.

Subsequently, according to the designed size of the holes, the source electrode window is realized by photolithography. Then, the corresponding thicknesses of the insulating layer 11 and the Field Oxide are removed by wet etching.

[0071] The technical effects achieved by manufacturing the high-voltage MOSFET device with a double-groove structure through the above manufacturing method include the following:
[0072] 1. In actual product design, the Trench trench structure is usually applied to the design of low-voltage MOSFET products (usually referring to products with a breakdown voltage < 300V), mainly limited by the fact that as the voltage level increases, breakdown is likely to occur at the trench. In this paper, the method of P+ masking and introducing polysilicon is adopted to achieve a breakdown voltage above 300V.
[0073] 2. Theoretically, the on-resistance of the Trench trench structure product is usually lower than that of the planar structure product, but this is only limited to the design of low-voltage MOSFET products. Because in the high-voltage Trench structure, the resistance of the JFET region accounts for a large proportion of the on-resistance. If it cannot be eliminated, the product advantage will disappear. In this paper, by designing a double-layer epitaxial structure and adopting the JFET injection method, the influence of the JFET region on the on-resistance is reduced.
[0074] 3. At the same voltage level, the high-voltage Trench structure in this article is only 50% of the size of the high-voltage planar structure, which means that the chip size / area can be reduced by 50%. On the same wafer size, more effective die can be obtained, and the production cost is reduced by 50%.
[0075] The present invention provides a high-voltage MOSFET device with a double-groove structure and a manufacturing method. The high-voltage MOSFET device with a double-groove structure includes an N+ substrate, a first N-epitaxial layer, a second N-epitaxial layer, a P+ masking layer, a first Trench groove, a source electrode, an N+ layer, an insulating layer, and a metal layer stacked in sequence. Pwell regions are respectively arranged on both sides of the first Trench groove, and second Trench grooves are respectively arranged on both sides of the two Pwell regions far from the first Trench groove. One end of the Pwell region is connected to the second N-epitaxial layer and the P+ masking layer, and the other end is connected to the N+ layer and the metal layer. Gates are arranged on both sides of the two second Trench grooves far from the Pwell region, and the gates are also connected to the insulating layer. The components of the gates and the source electrodes both include polysilicon. By providing the high-voltage MOSFET device with a double-groove structure and adopting the methods of P+ masking and introducing polysilicon, a breakdown voltage level above 300V is achieved. While reducing the design size and production cost, the main parameter performance of this structure is equivalent to the original design. Among them, the polysilicon in the source electrode plays a role in improving the electric field structure, generating a transverse electric field component from the original longitudinal electric field, thereby enhancing the breakdown voltage ability of the product.
