Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a MOSFET structure and a MOSFET structure. Background Art

[0002] As a third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor material, silicon carbide (SiC) has excellent properties such as high critical breakdown electric field strength, high electron saturation drift rate and high thermal conductivity, making it an ideal material for making high-power, high-temperature, high-frequency and radiation-resistant devices. Silicon carbide power devices have performance advantages such as low on-resistance, fast switching speed, high thermal conductivity, and the ability to withstand high voltage. They can significantly reduce energy loss and improve system efficiency during power conversion. They have been used in a certain range of applications in industrial automation, 5G communications, electric vehicle revolution, and renewable energy generation.

[0003] In practical applications, power equipment will inevitably work for a long time under overload, short circuit and other conditions. This requires that silicon carbide power devices, in addition to having a certain current-carrying capacity, also need to have good overload capacity, short-circuit capacity and reliability to ensure the long and stable service life of the device. However, in traditional cognition, the smaller the on-resistance of the silicon carbide power device, the stronger its current-carrying capacity, the worse the short-circuit capacity and the worse the reliability. Therefore, the more or less optimization of the short-circuit performance and reliability of most silicon carbide power devices will affect the current-carrying capacity of the device. The conventional integrated Schottky structure VDMOSFET structure has the advantages of high input impedance, fast switching speed, good thermal stability, low on-resistance, self-shutdown capability and easy parallel use.

[0070] Embodiment 1:

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a MOSFET structure, comprising:

[0072] S10, manufacturing a wafer, performing ion implantation on the wafer to form a p-type shielding region, and etching grooves on the wafer, wherein the wafer includes a first current transmission layer and a second current transmission layer, and the grooves are distributed on both sides of the second current transmission layer;

[0073] S20, forming doped regions on both sides of the second current transport layer, wherein the doped regions include a first doped region and a second doped region, the first doped region is located below the trench, and the second doped region is located on both sides above the second current transport layer;

[0074] S30, growing a gate oxide layer and an eighth barrier layer on the doped region and the wafer, etching the eighth barrier layer by photoresist and depositing polysilicon to form two gate regions;

[0075] S40, forming an oxide dielectric layer to wrap the gate region, depositing a source region and a Schottky contact region on the doped region, the oxide dielectric layer and the second current transfer layer, depositing a drain region at the bottom of the wafer, making ohmic contacts and Schottky contacts, and completing the manufacture of the MOSFET structure.

[0076] Specifically, making a wafer with a first current transmission layer and a second current transmission layer can increase the current path of the MOSFET structure and reduce the on-resistance, thereby ensuring the forward conduction capability of the MOSFET structure. Ion implantation is performed in the wafer to form a p-type shielding region and a p+ region, which can well protect the gate region and the Schottky contact region of the MOSFET structure, thereby improving the short-circuit capability and reliability capability of the MOSFET structure. Grooves are etched on both sides of the second current transmission layer of the wafer to facilitate the conduction of the current and the coupling of the p-type shielding region and the p+ region. The gate is deposited on the doped region and the groove, and the ohmic contact and Schottky contact of the MOSFET structure are completed by depositing the source region and the Schottky contact region above the wafer and the doped region, and the drain region is deposited below the wafer.

[0077] The present invention uses the p-type shielding region and the P+ region of the doped region to work together, and the self-clamping structure controls the width of the conductive current path, thereby reducing the saturation current and improving the short-circuit capability. At the same time, the p-type shielding region shields the SiC-SiO2 interface, reducing the gate oxide electric field strength, and the p-type shielding region and the P+ region work together to protect the gate oxide and the Schottky contact region, preventing high electric fields from damaging the structure and improving the structural reliability.

[0078] As an optional implementation, manufacturing a wafer includes: growing an N-epitaxial layer on an N+ substrate layer, and then growing a first current transmission layer on the N-epitaxial layer. After growing a first barrier layer on the first current transmission layer, etching the middle of the first barrier layer by photoresist and implanting N ions to form a second current transmission layer and removing the first barrier layer, thereby completing the manufacturing of the wafer. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, an N-epi layer (ie, N-epi: SiC low-doped N-type epitaxial layer) of appropriate concentration and thickness is grown on an N+ substrate layer (ie, N+sub, SiC high-doped N-type substrate); as shown Figure 4 As shown, a first current transmission layer (Csl, Current Spreading Layer) of appropriate concentration and thickness is grown on the N-epitaxial layer, and a first barrier layer is grown on the first current transmission layer. The middle of the first barrier layer is etched by photoresist to form an injection region of the second current transmission layer. The width range of the injection region of the etched second current transmission layer can be adaptively set according to actual needs, and can be selected as 0.4um-1um; as shown Figure 5 As shown, the injection angle is adjusted, and N ions are injected multiple times to form a second current transmission layer (i.e., Csl2) in the first current parameter layer. The injection depth range of the second current transmission layer can be selected to be 0um-2um, and the energy of the injected N ions is about 100keV-1100keV, and the dose is 1e12-1e14. Then, the first barrier layer forming the second current transmission layer is removed to complete the wafer production.

[0079] As an optional implementation, ion implantation is performed on a wafer to form a p-type shielding region, and a groove is etched on the wafer, including: after growing a second barrier layer on the first current transmission layer and the second current transmission layer, etching both sides of the second barrier layer through photoresist and implanting Al+ ions to form a p-type shielding region and remove the second barrier layer. A third barrier layer is grown on the second current transmission layer of the wafer, and both sides of the third barrier layer are etched through photoresist to form a groove region. Then, etching is performed into the wafer along the groove region to form grooves on both sides of the wafer and remove the third barrier layer.

[0080] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, a second barrier layer is grown on the first current transport layer and the second current transport layer, and both sides of the second barrier layer are etched by photoresist to form an injection region of a p-type shielding region. The width range of the injection region of the etched p-type shielding region can be adaptively set according to actual needs, and can be selected to be 1.4um-2um. Figure 7 As shown, the injection angle is adjusted, and Al+ ions are injected into the injection area of ​​the p-type shielding area multiple times to form a p-type shielding area (i.e., p+ shielded area). When injecting Al+ ions, the energy of the injected Al+ ions is controlled to control the depth of the injected p-type shielding area. The greater the energy of the injected Al+ ions, the deeper the injection depth of the p-type shielding area. The injection depth of the p-type shielding area ranges from 1um to 1.5um, and the energy of the injected Al+ ions is about 800keV to 1500keV, with a dose of 1e13 to 1e15. After the Al+ ions are injected, some Al+ ions will remain in the upper part but will be compensated, so that the p-type shielding area is injected in the middle of the first current transmission layer and the second current transmission layer, and is located on both sides of the middle of the wafer.

[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, a third blocking layer is grown on the second current transport layer, and both sides of the third blocking layer are etched by photoresist to form a groove area. Fig. 9 As shown, etching continues downward along the trench area to form trenches, which are located on both sides of the wafer. Then, the third barrier layer forming the trenches is removed.

[0082] As an optional embodiment, a doped region is formed on both sides of the second current transport layer, including: growing a fourth barrier layer on the groove and the second current transport layer, etching both sides of the fourth barrier layer and implanting Al+ ions through photoresist to form a Pwell region and remove the fourth barrier layer. Growing a fifth barrier layer on the Pwell region, the groove and the second current transport layer, etching both sides of the fifth barrier layer and implanting N ions through photoresist to form an N+ region and remove the fifth barrier layer. Growing a sixth barrier layer on the N+ region, the Pwell region, the groove and the second current transport layer, etching both sides of the sixth barrier layer and implanting Al+ ions through photoresist to form a P+plus region and remove the sixth barrier layer. Growing a seventh barrier layer on the P+plus region, the N+ region, the Pwell region, the groove and the second current transport layer, etching and implanting Al+ ions through photoresist to form a P+ region and remove the seventh barrier layer.

[0083] Specifically, Fig.10 As shown, a fourth barrier layer is grown on the groove and the second current transmission layer, and both sides of the fourth barrier layer are etched by photoresist to form a Pwell injection region. The width of the etched Pwell injection region can be adaptively set according to actual needs. Fig.11 As shown, the injection angle is adjusted, and Al+ ions are injected into the Pwell injection area multiple times to form a Pwell area. The Pwell area is located above the p-type shielding area. The injection depth of the Pwell area ranges from 0.9um to 1.2um. The energy of the injected Al+ ions is about 100keV to 600keV, and the dose is 1e12 to 1e14. Then the fourth barrier layer is removed.

[0084] like Fig.12 As shown, a fifth barrier layer is grown on the Pwell region, the trench and the second current transport layer, and both sides of the fifth barrier layer are etched by photoresist to form an N ion implantation region. The width of the etched N ion implantation region can be adaptively set according to actual needs. Fig.13 As shown, the implantation angle is adjusted, and N ions are implanted into the N ion implantation area to form an N+ region, which is located above the Pwell region. The implantation depth of the N+ region ranges from 0.1um to 0.4um, and the energy of the implanted N ions is about 50keV to 150keV, with a dose of 5e14 to 1e15. Then the fifth barrier layer is removed.

[0085] like Fig.14 As shown, a sixth barrier layer is grown on the N+ region, the Pwell region, the trench, and the second current transmission layer, and both sides of the sixth barrier layer are etched by photoresist to form a P+plus injection region. The width of the etched P+plus injection region can be adaptively set according to actual needs. Fig.15 As shown, the implantation angle is adjusted, and Al+ ions are implanted into the P+plus implantation area to form a P+plus area. The P+plus area is located above the Pwell area and abuts against the N+ area, and is located outside the wafer. The implantation depth of Al+ ions ranges from 0.2um to 1um, and the energy of the implanted Al+ ions is about 50keV to 450keV, with a dose of 5e14 to 3e15. Then the sixth barrier layer forming the P+plus area is removed.

[0086] like Fig.16 As shown, the seventh barrier layer is grown on the P+plus region, N+ region, Pwell region, trench and second current transmission layer, and the seventh barrier layer is etched by photoresist (i.e., the seventh barrier layer on both sides above the second current transmission layer is etched) to form a P+ injection region. The width of the etched P+ injection region can be adaptively set according to actual needs, and the width range of the etched P+ injection region can be selected to be 0.1um-0.5um. Fig.17 As shown, the injection angle is adjusted, and Al+ ions are injected into the P+ injection area to form a P+ area, and the P+ area is located on both sides above the second current transmission layer. The injection depth of Al+ ions into the P+ injection area is in the range of 0.1um-0.3um, the energy of the injected Al+ ions is about 50keV-150keV, and the dose is 1e12-1e14. Then the seventh barrier layer forming the P+ area is removed.

[0087] As an optional implementation, a gate oxide layer and an eighth barrier layer are grown on the doped region and the wafer, the eighth barrier layer is etched by photoresist and polysilicon is deposited to form gate regions on both sides, including: growing a gate oxide layer on the P+plus region, the N+ region, the Pwell region, the trench, the P+ region and the second current transmission layer. An eighth barrier layer is grown on the gate oxide layer, the eighth barrier layer is etched by photoresist and polysilicon is deposited, two gate regions are formed on the trench and the eighth barrier layer is removed. Specifically, as Fig.18 As shown in FIG. 19 , a gate oxide layer is grown on the P+plus region, the N+ region, the Pwell region, the trench, the P+ region, and the second current transmission layer. As shown in FIG. 19 , an eighth barrier layer is grown on the gate oxide layer, and the eighth barrier layer is etched by photoresist to form a deposition area for a polysilicon gate. The width of the deposition area of ​​the etched polysilicon gate can be adaptively set according to actual needs. Fig. 20 As shown, polysilicon is deposited in the polysilicon gate deposition area to form two polysilicon gate regions, which are located on both sides of the second current transmission layer and above the gate oxide layer. Then the eighth barrier layer forming the gate region is removed.

After depositing source metal in the source metal deposition region to form a source region, drain metal is deposited at the bottom of the wafer to form a drain region to complete ohmic contact. While depositing source metal in the source metal deposition region to form a source region, a Schottky contact electrode is deposited on the Schottky contact electrode region to form a Schottky contact region to complete Schottky contact.
