AI Technical Summary
When a traditional flat plate single-chip silicon epitaxial furnace grows a multi-layer silicon epitaxial sheet of an ultra-doped phosphorus-doped substrate, there is mutual interference due to the high-temperature self-doping effect of the heavy-doped substrate and the doped pipelines of the inner and outer silicon epitaxial layer, resulting in unstable resistivity of the outer doped silicon epitaxial layer.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor silicon epitaxial wafer preparation, and in particular relates to an ultra-heavy phosphorus-doped substrate multilayer silicon epitaxial wafer for power devices and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the technical field, power devices such as MOS, SBD, and FRD are developing in the direction of high breakdown voltage and low on-resistance. Since the breakdown voltage and on-voltage drop of power devices are mutually restrictive, that is, if the breakdown voltage is increased, the on-voltage drop will also increase, and vice versa. The traditional planar device structure is based on a single-layer silicon epitaxial wafer, which consists of a heavily doped silicon substrate and a high-resistance silicon epitaxial layer. In recent years, with the continuous progress in the field of technology, in order to ensure the low on-resistance requirements of power devices, ultra-heavily doped silicon substrates have gradually replaced heavily doped silicon substrates as the substrate material of power devices. The adverse effect is that the silicon epitaxial layer faces a stronger self-doping effect during growth, which is more unfavorable for the control of the resistivity stability and consistency of the high-resistance silicon epitaxial layer. In order to ensure the high breakdown voltage requirements of power devices, a thick and high-resistance silicon epitaxial layer is required, but this leads to high on-resistance.
[0003] In recent years, in order to further reduce the on-resistance, designers have adopted a large number of double-layer silicon epitaxial wafers based on the optimization and adjustment of the device structure, shifting the location of the breakdown voltage from the surface to the body of the silicon material. By growing a doped epitaxial inner layer on a heavily doped silicon substrate as a buffer layer, and then growing the second doped outer layer required for the breakdown voltage, both the reverse breakdown voltage and the forward high current characteristics can be improved, but more stringent control requirements are imposed on the stability and consistency of the epitaxial structure. At the same time, the resistivity difference between the first and second silicon epitaxial layers of the double-layer epitaxial generally reaches more than 10 times, and the resistivity of the second high-resistance silicon epitaxial layer has been tightened from <3% to ≤1.2% based on the tolerance requirements of the application field, which places higher requirements on the process control method.
[0004] The process methods used in traditional double-layer silicon epitaxial wafers are as follows: the Chinese patent with publication number CN 110349841 B discloses: using a method of alternating high-temperature, high-flow H2 and normal-flow H2 to blow away impurities in the near-surface layer of the silicon wafer, so that the impurities adsorbed on the silicon wafer and the base have enough energy to escape, thereby realizing the preparation of double-layer silicon epitaxial wafers. However, this patent is applicable to double-layer silicon epitaxial wafers with a resistivity of 0.001~0.004Ω·cm for silicon substrates and a target resistivity of 2.9~3.1Ω·cm for the outer layer of the epitaxial layer. For silicon substrates with lower resistivity, the preparation of double-layer silicon epitaxial wafers with a higher target resistivity of the outer layer of the epitaxial layer is not applicable, and the difficulty of implementing its preparation process will be significantly increased when the substrate resistivity is lower and the epitaxial resistivity is higher. The Chinese patent with the publication number CN111463116A discloses a method for preparing a double-layer epitaxial film for a MOS device structure. By setting comprehensive conditions such as the main process hydrogen flow rate, the heating power of the infrared bulbs in the inner and outer zones, and the precise distribution of the doping flow rate, the overall thickness and resistivity uniformity of the double-layer epitaxial film are controlled, and the inhomogeneity within the film is significantly improved from the current technical level of 2% to 3% to a well-controlled level of <1.5%. However, the technical solution of this patent is not suitable for the preparation of super-heavy phosphorus-doped substrates with lower substrate resistivity. If the traditional flat-plate monolithic silicon epitaxial furnace growth process is used to grow multi-layer silicon epitaxial wafers on super-heavy phosphorus-doped substrates, the substrate self-doping effect will lead to a more serious problem of unstable resistivity of the outer doped silicon epitaxial layer during the growth process. In addition, in this patent, the control of resistivity uniformity still needs to be improved. In addition, the above patents all have complex process steps, and the first silicon epitaxial layer and the second silicon epitaxial layer share a common doping pipeline. Due to the large difference in doping flow rates, there is a problem of mutual interference. Ultimately, the optimal effect of the non-uniformity of the outer high-resistance silicon epitaxial layer is <1.5%.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a method for preparing a multilayer silicon epitaxial wafer that has good parameter stability and is adaptable to the requirements of industrial continuous production. Summary of the invention
