Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to an SGT device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) can be roughly divided into the following categories: planar MOSFET; trench MOSFET, mainly used in low voltage fields; shielded gate trench (Shielded Gate Transistor, SGT) MOSFET, mainly used in medium voltage and low voltage fields; super junction (SJ) MOSFET, mainly used in high voltage fields.

[0003] Insulated gate field effect transistors are widely used in various power systems because of their advantages such as fast switching speed, low power consumption, easy gate drive, low drive power, high input impedance and good frequency response. SGT MOSFET is widely used in medium and low voltage power systems because of its excellent specific on-resistance and switch conduction figure of merit. SGT MOSFET uses the lateral depletion of the epitaxial layer by the shielded gate to modulate the longitudinal electric field distribution in the epitaxial layer, thereby improving the avalanche characteristics of the device. Since the shielded gate polycrystalline is at the same potential as a whole, and the potential of the epitaxial layer (EPI) varies in the longitudinal direction, the lateral depletion line will not be completely horizontal, and it will contribute in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the longitudinal electric field distribution of the SGT is not straight, but concave, which makes the SGT device able to withstand a smaller voltage and has poor avalanche characteristics.
