Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of semiconductor power devices, and particularly relates to a manufacturing method of a back low-resistance via structure of a longitudinal power device. BACKGROUND
[0002] For power devices, a larger on-resistance means greater power consumption, so it is desirable to reduce the on-resistance as much as possible to reduce the power consumption of the device. Among them, the substrate resistance of the longitudinal transistor power device is one of the components of the on-resistance, and the proportion is particularly large at low voltage levels. The current substrate thinning technology can reduce the substrate resistance by thinning the substrate and optimize the heat dissipation problem, but it is subject to the level of thinning process technology, and thinning the substrate to a lower thickness requires more expensive costs and more advanced process technology. In addition, the wafer is subject to support and stress problems, and it must maintain a relatively thick substrate thickness, resulting in a large substrate resistance. In order to further reduce the substrate resistance, researchers have proposed a low-resistance via structure on the back of the power longitudinal device. By etching a groove in the back substrate and depositing heavily doped polysilicon to form a low-resistance via structure and shorting to the back drain as the back electrode of the longitudinal device, the substrate resistance of the device can be further reduced to improve the power consumption of the longitudinal device.
