[0049] As a direct indicator of the reverse recovery performance of power devices, when the MOSFET body diode changes from the on state to the withstand voltage state, a reverse current will be generated in the MOSFET due to the reverse voltage. This reverse current is called the reverse recovery current. It is easy to understand that the magnitude of the reverse recovery current has a great influence on the switching frequency characteristics of the power device.

[0050] SuperJunction Metal-oxide-semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (SJ MOSFET) is a structure in which N-type column regions and P-type column regions are alternately arranged in the N-type drift region in the traditional power MOSFET, which can reduce the on-resistance while improving the breakdown resistance. However, the body diode of the superjunction MOSFET stores more charge during forward conduction, resulting in a higher reverse recovery current peak. Therefore, the reverse recovery characteristics of the superjunction MOSFET still need to be improved to expand its application in scenarios such as high-frequency switching and improve work efficiency.

[0051] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. The semiconductor device provided by the present invention is first introduced below.

[0052] First, see Figure 1 to Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a semiconductor device, which includes a substrate 110, a cell region 100 and an emitter 300 which are stacked in sequence. The cell region 100 includes a first region 121 and a second region 122 which are alternately arranged along a first direction (e.g., the X direction in the figure), a gate dielectric region 130 located in the first region 121, a gate 140 located in the gate dielectric region 130, a source region 150 located in the second region 122, and a metal conduction region 210, wherein the first region 121 and the source region 150 are of the first conductivity type, the second region 122 is of the second conductivity type, the first region 121 is interconnected with the emitter 300 through the metal conduction region 210, and the metal conduction region 210 is connected to the emitter 300. The through region 210 forms a Schottky contact with the first region 121; along the first direction, gate dielectric regions 130 are provided on both sides of each second region 122, and the second region 122 is interconnected with the emitter 300; the gate 140 is located on one side of the gate dielectric region 130 close to the second region 122; along the first direction, both sides of the source region 150 are respectively connected to the gate dielectric region 130 and the emitter 300; along the second direction (for example, the Z direction in the figure), the metal conduction region 210 is provided between the emitter 300 and the first region 121.

[0053] Optionally, the first conductivity type is one of N type or P type, and the second conductivity type is the other of N type or P type. Exemplarily, the first conductivity type is N type doping, and the second conductivity type is P type doping. When the gate 140 voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, the second region 122 located between the source region 150 and the first region 121 along the second direction can form a channel on the side close to the gate 140 to achieve current conduction.

[0054] Optionally, the cell region 100 further includes a third region 123 of the first conductivity type, the third region 123 is sandwiched between the second region 122 and the substrate 110 , and along the first direction, the second regions 122 are interconnected through the third region 123 .

[0055] As a result, a Schottky barrier diode is formed between the metal conduction region 210 and the first region 121, and a body diode of the super junction MOSFET is formed between the first region 121 and the second region 122. When the super junction MOSFET is in a forward bias state, since the Schottky barrier diode has a lower voltage drop, the current of the MOSFET mainly flows through the Schottky barrier diode, thereby reducing the amount of charge stored in the body diode during the forward conduction process. On the one hand, the excellent reverse recovery characteristics of the Schottky barrier diode itself are utilized, and on the other hand, the reverse recovery current of the body diode is reduced by reducing the charge stored in the body diode, thereby improving the reverse recovery performance of the super junction MOSFET.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, the semiconductor device further includes a source 220 located in the gate dielectric region 130 . The source 220 is located in a side of the gate dielectric region 130 away from the second region 122 .

[0057] As a result, a trench MOS Schottky barrier diode is formed between the source 220, the metal conduction region 210 and the first region 121. When the super junction MOSFET is in a reverse bias state, the MOS structure laterally depletes the epitaxial layer between the trenches, reducing the surface electric field of the Schottky contact, thereby reducing the leakage current, increasing the reverse breakdown voltage of the device, and reducing the impact of the integrated Schottky barrier diode on the voltage resistance performance of the super junction MOSFET.

[0058] Optionally, the source electrode 220 is made of the same material as the emitter electrode 300 .

[0059] For further information, see Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present application, in the gate dielectric region 130 , the source 220 and the gate 140 are arranged spaced apart along a first direction.

[0060] Optionally, the length of the gate 140 in the first direction is smaller than the length of the gate 140 in the second direction.

[0061] Therefore, by adjusting the arrangement of the source 220 and the gate 140, the proportion of the gate 140 in the gate dielectric region 130 is reduced, thereby reducing the surface area of ​​the gate 140 relative to the first region 121, reducing the parasitic gate-drain capacitance of the super junction MOSFET, and thus reducing switching losses.

[0062] According to certain embodiments of the present application, the semiconductor device further includes an interlayer dielectric layer 160 , which is disposed between the metal conduction region 210 and the emitter 300 along a first direction and between the emitter 300 and the cell region 100 along a second direction.

[0063] Optionally, the interlayer dielectric layer 160 includes silicon dioxide.

[0064] Thus, partial insulation between the metal conduction region 210 and the emitter 300 is achieved through the interlayer dielectric layer 160 to prevent unexpected conduction from occurring in the semiconductor device.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present application, the semiconductor device further includes a first connection portion 221 , and the sources 220 in the two gate dielectric regions 130 disposed on both sides of the metal conduction region 210 along the first direction are interconnected through the first connection portion 221 .

[0066] Optionally, along the first direction, the first connection portion 221 is disposed between two source electrodes 220 to simplify the connection.

[0067] Optionally, along a third direction (eg, the Y direction in the figure), first connecting portions 221 are provided on both sides of the metal conductive region 210 .

[0068] Optionally, the semiconductor device includes a plurality of cell regions 100 , and two first connection portions 221 distributed along the third direction on both sides of the metal conductive region 210 are shared by two adjacent cell regions 100 .

[0069] Optionally, each first connection portion 221 passes through the interlayer dielectric layer 160 and is interconnected with the emitter 300 .

[0070] Thus, a plurality of source electrodes 220 can be interconnected through the first connection portion 221 , and each cell region 100 can be interconnected through the first connection portion 221 .

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, the semiconductor device further includes a second connection portion 141 , and the gates 140 in the two gate dielectric regions 130 disposed on both sides of the metal conduction region 210 along the first direction are interconnected through the second connection portion 141 .

[0072] Optionally, along the first direction, the second connection portion 141 is disposed between two gates 140 to simplify the connection.

[0073] Optionally, along the third direction, second connecting portions 141 are provided on both sides of the metal conductive region 210 .

[0074] Optionally, along the third direction, the two second connection portions 141 are disposed on the outer sides of the two first connection portions 221 .

[0075] Optionally, the semiconductor device includes a plurality of cell regions 100 , and two second connection portions 141 distributed along the third direction on both sides of the metal conductive region 210 are shared by two adjacent cell regions 100 .

[0076] Thus, the plurality of gates 140 can be interconnected through the second connection portion 141 , and the cell regions 100 can be interconnected through the second connection portion 141 .

[0077] Optionally, the semiconductor device further includes a gate bus bar, wherein two gate bus bars are provided, and the two gate bus bars are arranged on both sides of the source pad along the third direction, and the two gate bus bars are respectively connected to two second connection portions 141 located in the same cell area 100 .

[0078] Optionally, the second connection portion 141 passes through the interlayer dielectric layer 160 and connects to the gate bus bar.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present application, the metal conduction region 210 and the emitter 300 are made of the same material, and the metal conduction region 210 and the emitter 300 are integrally formed.

[0080] Optionally, the metal conduction region 210 and the emitter 300 are integrally formed after the first connection portion 221 and the second connection portion 141 are prepared.

[0081] Optionally, the metal conduction region 210 and the emitter 300 are formed by a deposition process.

[0082] Therefore, the preparation process of the metal conductive region 210 is simplified, making the metal conductive region 210 easier to obtain in terms of process.

[0083] According to some embodiments of the present application, the metal conduction region 210 is made of a material different from that of the emitter 300 . The metal conduction region 210 is made of a material having a work function greater than that of the emitter 300 .

[0084] Optionally, the metal conducting region 210 is formed by a deposition process.

[0085] Optionally, the work function of the metal conduction region 210 is greater than 4.85 eV.

[0086] Therefore, the height of the Schottky barrier can be adjusted by selecting the material of the metal conduction region 210 , thereby adjusting the leakage current of the Schottky barrier diode and changing the withstand voltage performance of the Schottky barrier diode.

[0087] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4According to certain embodiments of the present application, the semiconductor device further includes a terminal region 400 , which is disposed on one side of the substrate 110 and connected to the cell region 100 , a work function tuning layer 420 is disposed between the terminal region 400 and the cell region 100 , and the emitter 300 is interconnected with the first region 121 through the work function tuning layer 420 .

[0088] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the work function tuning layer 420 along the second direction is a continuous closed figure.

[0089] Therefore, when the super junction MOSFET is in a forward bias state, the MOSFET can be forward-conducted through the metal conduction region 210 and the work function tuning layer 420 at the same time, so as to further reduce the number of carriers flowing through the body diode and further improve the reverse recovery performance of the super junction MOSFET.

[0090] According to some embodiments of the present application, the emitter 300 includes a terminal contact 410 , which is in electrical contact with the work function tuning layer 420 .

[0091] Optionally, the work function of the work function tuning layer 420 is greater than the work function of the terminal contact 410 .

[0092] Optionally, the work function of the work function tuning layer 420 is greater than 4.85 eV.

[0093] Thus, the barrier height of the Schottky barrier diode formed at the work function tuning layer 420 is adjusted, and the withstand voltage performance of the semiconductor device is improved.

[0094] Optionally, an orthographic projection of the terminal contact 410 on the plane where the work function tuning layer 420 is located falls within the range of the work function tuning layer 420 .

[0095] Optionally, the terminal contact 410 and the emitter 300 are manufactured in an integral manner.
