Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power semiconductor devices and relates to a high-reliability VLD terminal. Background Art
[0002] Power semiconductor devices are mainly composed of two parts: the cell region and the terminal region. The design of the terminal structure is crucial to the breakdown voltage characteristics of power devices. Field plate + field limiting ring is the most commonly used terminal structure, but with the increase of device withstand voltage, when the number of field limiting rings increases to a certain extent, the effect of improving the breakdown voltage is no longer obvious, and a large amount of chip area is wasted, increasing production costs. The Variable Lateral Doping (VLD) terminal structure proposed by the literature Stengl R, Gosele U. Variation of lateral doping-A new concept to avoid high voltage breakdown of planar junctions, Proceedings of International Electron Devices Meeting, 1985, etc., greatly reduces the terminal length and chip area, improves the withstand voltage efficiency, reduces the production cost, and is gradually widely used in devices such as power MOSFET. Variation of Lateral Doping (VLD) terminal is one of the most common terminal design methods in medium and high voltage power devices. By injecting a region with a gradient impurity concentration at the edge of the device, it can effectively expand the depletion region, alleviate the electric field concentration, and make the device show better blocking performance. VLD termination is a method of forming a lateral variable doping structure by setting appropriate mask window shapes and window parameter values, and performing ion implantation near the heavily doped main junction. The closer to the main junction, the greater the amount of implantation, and the farther away, the smaller the amount of implantation. The implanted impurities are connected through lateral diffusion of impurities. Compared with field limiting ring and field plate terminations, VLD has a smaller termination area; compared with JTE terminations, VLD has better blocking performance and is less sensitive to terminal impurity implantation dose deviation. The industry and academia have been committed to improving VLD terminations to achieve better blocking performance and reliability.
[0003] Although the traditional VLD terminal is simple in design, in the process of ion implantation to form the VLD terminal, the impurity concentration gradient distribution is achieved by controlling the size of the mask shielding area and the window area. If the mask layout, high temperature annealing process, implantation dose, etc. are not properly set, the impurity concentration distribution formed after high temperature annealing will be wavy, deviating from the smooth gradient impurity distribution, such as Figure 1This wavy distribution will produce an excessively high electric field peak at the low impurity concentration position J, reducing the performance of the VLD terminal and affecting the voltage withstand capability and reliability of the device. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention provides a high-reliability VLD terminal. The method is easy to implement and has a wide voltage application range. The high surface electric field peak value caused by the wavy impurity distribution of the VLD terminal is improved by a single ion implantation plus a floating composite field plate, thereby improving the reliability problem of the excessively high surface electric field peak value of the VLD terminal caused by the uneven impurity distribution and improving the withstand voltage performance of the VLD terminal, and having good practical value.
