Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor devices, and in particular relates to a high-voltage super junction VDMOS device terminal structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The superjunction technology concept improves the 2.5th power proportional limit of the breakdown voltage and on-resistance of silicon-based MOS devices due to its RESURF two-dimensional electric field principle and charge balance principle, reduces the on-resistance of medium and high voltage devices, and greatly improves the power density of the device. Due to its high breakdown and low conduction characteristics, it has quickly entered the high-power device market, and its current scope includes smartphones, chargers, automotive electronics, and commonly used household appliance drivers. In order to solve the problem of low manufacturing yield of PN-type superjunction devices, superjunction devices modulated by resistive field plates have been proposed. For superjunction VDMOS devices modulated by resistive field plates, the resistive field plate can deplete the impurities in the drift region, thereby achieving the effect of charge balance. The advantages of this method are simple compared to PN-type superjunction devices, low manufacturing cost and good breakdown consistency.
[0003] The cells of VDMOS high-voltage power semiconductors withstand a high withstand voltage. The interior is composed of many cells connected in parallel. Usually, breakdown does not occur inside the cell, but at the edge where the electric field is concentrated. In order to improve its edge curvature effect and withstand voltage characteristics, it is necessary to set corresponding withstand voltage terminals at the edge of the cell. Common withstand voltage technologies include field plate technology, lateral variable doping, junction terminal expansion and other lateral technologies. For super junction devices, the concentration of the drift region is higher than that of conventional VDMOS devices. The use of conventional planar technology will cause the breakdown voltage of the terminal region to be much lower than that of the cell region. Therefore, the need for terminal technology is one of the urgent problems to be solved. By adapting the trench longitudinal resistive field plate technology of the resistive field plate super junction vertical double diffused metal-oxide semiconductor device (RFP SJ-VDMOS) cell structure, the electric field optimization effect of the terminal region on the cell region is guided to achieve an improvement in withstand voltage effect with a smaller terminal area.

[0062] S4. Please refer to Figure 5 , a plurality of terminal grooves 210 penetrating the epitaxial layer 200 and exposing the substrate are etched on the epitaxial layer 200, and the transition oxide layer 300 is removed. In this step, deep groove etching is performed through the photolithography pattern, and the terminal grooves 210 are arranged at the same regular intervals in the lateral direction; the etching depth can be the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200 or slightly greater than the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200.

In this embodiment, since the width of the terminal groove 210 is 1.2 μm and the thickness of the vertical field plate dielectric layer 220 is 0.2 μm, the thickness of the vertical resistance field plate 230 is 0.8 μm. The resistivity of the vertical resistance field plate 230 in this embodiment is le10Ω·cm.
[0069] S7, forming a horizontal resistive field plate 500 on the top of the epitaxial region. This step may include the following sub-steps:
[0070] S701, please refer to Figure 8 , a thick oxide layer is deposited on the top of the epitaxial layer 200 to form a top oxide layer 400 .
[0071] S702, please continue reading Figure 8 A contact through hole 401 penetrating the top oxide layer 400 is formed by etching above each vertical resistance field plate 230 and above the second doped region 202 between each two adjacent groups of vertical resistance field plates 230 .
[0072] S703, please refer to Fig. 9 , a layer of second resistance field plate material is deposited on the top oxide layer 400, the second resistance field plate material extends into each contact through hole 401 and contacts the top of the epitaxial layer 200, forming a horizontal resistance field plate 500. In this embodiment, the second resistance field plate material is made of semi-insulating polysilicon material, and the resistivity of the horizontal resistance field plate 500 is 1 e7Ω·cm.
[0073] S8, please refer to Fig.10 , forming a drain metal electrode connected to the substrate, a source metal electrode 601 connected to the first doped region 201, and a floating metal electrode 602 connected to the third doped region 203. This step may include the following sub-steps:
[0074] S801, etching and removing the innermost top oxide layer 400 and the horizontal resistance field plate 500 above the epitaxial layer 200 to form a first gap 501 exposing a portion of the first doped region 201; etching and removing the outermost top oxide layer 400 and the horizontal resistance field plate 500 above the epitaxial layer 200 to form a second gap 502 exposing a portion of the third doped region 203.
[0075] S802, forming a source metal electrode 601 connected to the first doped region 201 at the first notch 501 (i.e., the innermost side above the epitaxial layer 200), wherein the lateral contact between the innermost source metal electrode 601 and the first doped region 201 does not exceed the outer side of the first doped region 201. Forming a floating metal electrode 602 connected to the third doped region 203 at the second notch 502 (i.e., the outermost side above the epitaxial layer 200), wherein the lateral contact between the outermost floating metal electrode 602 and the third doped region 203 does not exceed the inner side of the third doped region 203.
[0076] S803, thinning the substrate by a backside thinning process, and forming a drain metal electrode on the backside of the substrate by metal evaporation.
[0077] This embodiment provides a usable terminal structure and preparation method for a super junction VDMOS device of a resistive field plate type, and the terminal structure uses technologies such as super junction, field plate, and field stop ring; the principle is to make a hole on the field oxygen in the terminal area, and cover a layer of resistivity slightly lower than the resistive field plate layer in the body (i.e., the horizontal resistive field plate 500) connected to the vertical resistive field plate 230 and the surface of the P-region (i.e., the second doped region 202) in the body, to provide a low potential to both, so that the resistive field plate in the body can modulate and deplete the doped region in the middle. Because the connection is made through the resistive field plate in the lateral direction, no electric field spike similar to the metal field plate will appear in the terminal area. Adding a stop ring can form a leakage current path, so that electrons will not continuously accumulate at the oxide layer at the bottom of the resistive field plate, effectively reducing the electric field spike at the bottom of the resistive field plate.
[0078] The effective gain of this embodiment is as follows: when the center spacing of adjacent vertical resistance field plates 230 in the terminal region (i.e., the center spacing of adjacent terminal grooves 210) is 4 μm, and the number of groups of vertical resistance field plates 230 (i.e., the number of groups of terminal grooves 210) increases from 4 to 9, the device breakdown voltage increases from 518 V to 630 V. Increasing the number of vertical resistance field plates 230 can reduce the peak electric field borne by each RFP (resistivity filter plate) unit. Fig.11 As shown in FIG. 1 , the potential simulation result is obtained when the number of groups of vertical resistance field plates 230 is 9. Fig.11 It can be seen that the resistance field plate area of the terminal is almost completely depleted, and the breakdown voltage is 630V. The avalanche breakdown point occurs at the edge of the main junction, and the leakage current flows through the main junction. The terminal length when the breakdown voltage is 630V is only about 50μm, which is 50% smaller than the traditional planar terminal area. The resistance field plate column (i.e., the vertical resistance field plate 230) of the super junction device terminal of this embodiment can be made together with the cell to save process cost, but the width and spacing can be designed separately according to the device withstand voltage requirements.
