Abstract
Description

[0002] In a planar field-effect transistor (MOSFET, Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-EffectTransistor), the part between the two P-type body regions is called the junction field effect region (JFET, Junction FET), which is the region where the current must flow when the device is in the on state. The JFET region and part of the P-type body region need to be made into a gate oxide dielectric to isolate the semiconductor from the gate electrode to avoid gate-source shorting. The doping concentration of the JFET region directly affects the on-resistance of the MOSFET. Therefore, in the production of planar MOSFET, the JFET region is usually re-doped to obtain a higher concentration than the epitaxial layer to reduce the on-state resistance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0029] As mentioned in the prior art, the doping concentration of the JFET region directly affects the on-resistance of the MOSFET. Therefore, in the manufacture of planar MOSFET, the JFET region is usually re-doped to obtain a higher concentration than the epitaxial layer to reduce the on-resistance. The increased concentration in the JFET region will cause the gate oxide layer at the top of the region to generate a higher electric field when the device is in a blocking state, causing the gate oxide layer to break down, thereby causing a gate-drain short circuit and causing the field effect transistor device to fail. To this end, the present application proposes a field effect transistor and a method for preparing the same.
[0030] In order to solve the above technical problem, according to an embodiment of the present application, a field effect transistor is provided. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a field effect transistor according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the field effect transistor includes: a substrate 10 having a first doping type; a drift layer 20 located on one side of the substrate 10, the drift layer 20 including a JFET region 201, the drift layer 20 having a first surface on a side away from the substrate 10, and the drift layer 20 having the first doping type, and the drift layer 20 having a symmetry axis in a thickness direction; a barrier layer 40 located in the JFET region 201; a plurality of first body regions 30 located on both sides of the barrier layer 40, the surface of the first body region 30 on a side away from the substrate 10 being located in the first surface, the first body regions 30 being symmetrically located in the drift layer 20 along the symmetry axis, and the first body regions 30 having a second doping type.
[0031] In order to reduce the on-resistance of the device, the doping concentration of the JFET region is usually increased, but this will cause the gate oxide layer at the top of the region to generate a higher electric field when the device is in a blocking state, and the gate oxide layer at the middle position of the two adjacent first body regions is easily broken down. The present application sets a barrier layer in the JFET region between the adjacent first body regions, while ensuring that the on-resistance of the device is low, and reduces the risk of the gate oxide layer being broken down when the device is in a blocking state, thereby protecting the field effect transistor and improving the reliability of the device.
[0032] In MOSFET devices, the main flow channel of electron current in the JFET region is close to the first body region, and in the blocking state, the gate oxide layer is prone to breakdown at the middle of the two adjacent first body regions. Therefore, a shallow trench is etched in the middle of the JFET region between the two adjacent first body regions and filled with a barrier layer. Even if other JFET regions outside the trench are doped with a higher concentration, the barrier layer protects the gate oxide layer at the location where breakdown is likely to occur in the blocking state, which reduces the probability of breakdown and even prevents breakdown.
[0033] In the above embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, after the barrier layer 40 is provided in the device, the on-state resistance of the device can be better reduced, and the barrier layer 40 will also protect the gate oxide layer from being broken down. The substrate 10 and the drift layer 20 have the same doping type, and the doping concentration of the drift layer 20 is lower than the doping concentration of the substrate 10. The doping concentration of the drift layer 20 is about two orders of magnitude lower than the doping concentration of the substrate 10. The first body region 30 is of the second doping type, such as the drift layer 20 is of N type and the first body region 30 is of P type. The barrier layer 40 can be an insulating dielectric layer, and those skilled in the art can reasonably select the type of the barrier layer according to actual conditions, and this application does not make specific limitations.
[0034] For example, when the on-voltage of the device is 3300 V, the doping concentration of the JFET region in the prior art ranges from 1E16 to 3E16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the JFET region of the present application may range from 3E16 to 5E16 cm -3 , and the on-resistance of the present application is reduced by 15% compared with the on-resistance in the prior art. The present application not only reduces the on-resistance of the device, but also reduces the risk of the gate oxide layer being broken down when the device is in a blocking state.
[0035] In the prior art, trench-type transistors usually thicken the gate oxide layer to protect the reliability of the gate oxide layer in the blocking state. This is achieved by thickening the necessary structure of the transistor, and the gate oxide layer wraps the bottom and sidewalls of the gate. The present application is a planar transistor, and the barrier layer is not a necessary structure of the device, and the width of the barrier layer is less than or equal to 1μm. If the barrier layer is made too wide to wrap the bottom of the gate oxide layer, it will affect the channel of the device's electronic current and increase the on-resistance.
[0036] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the field effect transistor also includes a first sub-doping region 31 and a second sub-doping region 32, wherein: the first sub-doping region 31 is located on a side of the second sub-doping region 32 close to the blocking layer 40, the first sub-doping region 31 has a first doping type, and the second sub-doping region 32 has a second doping type.
[0037] In the above optional implementation, if Figure 1 As shown, the first body region 30 may be a silicon carbide matrix region, N-type ions may be implanted into the first body region 30 to form a first sub-doping region 31 , and P-type ions may be implanted into the first body region 30 to form a second sub-doping region 32 .
[0038] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the first body region 30 includes a first sub-body region 33 and a second sub-body region 34. The second sub-body region 34 is located on the side of the first sub-body region 33 away from the substrate 10, and the second sub-body region 34 is located on the side of the first sub-doping region 31 away from the second sub-doping region 32. The doping concentration of the second sub-body region 34 is lower than the doping concentration of the first sub-body region 33.
[0039] In the above optional implementation, if Figure 1 As shown, in the process of forming the first body region 30 , ions are implanted into the drift layer 20 to form sub-body regions with two doping concentrations, wherein the doping concentration of the first sub-body region 33 is high and the doping concentration of the second sub-body region 34 is low.
[0040] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the field effect transistor further includes a gate structure 50 . The gate structure 50 is located on a side of the barrier layer 40 away from the drift layer 20 .
[0041] In the above optional implementation, if Figure 1 As shown, the gate structure 50 includes a gate oxide layer 51 and a gate 52. Before forming the gate structure 50, the device is subjected to a high temperature ion activation process. The thickness of the gate oxide layer 51 is 0.04 μm to 0.12 μm, such as 0.06 μm, 0.1 μm and 0.11 μm; the gate structure 50 also includes a gate 52, and the thickness of the gate 52 is 0.5 μm to 0.9 μm, such as 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm and 0.8 μm. The gate oxide layer 51 can be an insulating dielectric layer, and the material of the gate 52 can be polysilicon.
[0042] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the field effect transistor further includes an insulating layer 60 . The insulating layer 60 is located on a side of the gate structure 50 away from the drift layer 20 .
[0043] In the above optional implementation, if Figure 1 As shown, the insulating layer 60 can be used as an isolation dielectric layer for the source 70 and the gate structure 50. The insulating layer 60 has an opening for the source electrode to facilitate electrical connection between the source 70 and the gate 52. The insulating layer 60 can be made of any one of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride and aluminum oxide.
[0044] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the barrier layer 40 in the drift layer 20 has a thickness of 0.2 μm to 0.5 μm.
[0045] In the above optional implementation, if Figure 1As shown, setting the thickness of the barrier layer 40 within the above range can effectively reduce the risk of the gate oxide layer 51 being broken down. For example, the thickness of the barrier layer 40 is 0.3 μm or 0.4 μm.
[0046] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the field effect transistor further includes a source 70, an insulating layer 60 and a drain 80, wherein: the insulating layer 60 is located on a side of the drift layer 20 away from the substrate 10, the source 70 is located on a side of the insulating layer 60 away from the substrate 10, and the drain 80 is located on a side of the substrate 10 away from the drift layer 20.
[0047] In the above optional implementation, if Figure 1 As shown, the source 70 is located on the side of the insulating layer 60 away from the gate structure 50, and the source 70 covers the above-mentioned first body region 30. The drain 80 is located on the side of the substrate 10 away from the drift layer 20. The material of the above-mentioned source 70 and drain 80 can be any one or more of copper, aluminum, chromium, silver and tungsten, and this application does not make specific limitations.
[0048] When the device is in a blocking state and the doping concentration of the JFET region is high, the gate oxide layer above the JFET region between the two first body regions is easily broken down. The present application sets a shallow trench in the middle of the JFET region and sets a barrier layer in the shallow trench so that the barrier layer is located in the center of the JFET region. The barrier layer can reduce the risk of the gate oxide layer being broken down and protect the effectiveness of the field effect transistor, thereby solving the problem in the related art that in order to reduce the on-resistance of the field effect transistor, the doping concentration of the JFET region is increased, resulting in the field effect transistor being easily failed in the blocking state.
[0049] According to another aspect of the present application, a method for preparing a field effect transistor is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:
[0050] Step S100: providing a substrate, wherein the substrate has a first doping type;

[0054] In order to reduce the on-state resistance of the device, the doping concentration of the JFET region is usually increased. However, when the device is in a blocking state, a higher electric field will be generated in the gate oxide layer on the top of the region, causing breakdown of the gate oxide layer. The present application provides a blocking layer in the JFET region between the adjacent first body regions, thereby reducing both the on-state resistance of the device and the risk of breakdown of the gate oxide layer of the device in a blocking state. The barrier layer is provided to protect the field effect transistor and improve the reliability of the device.

[0067] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:
[0068] An embodiment of the present application provides a field effect transistor. Usually, in order to reduce the on-resistance of the device, the doping concentration of the JFET region is increased. However, in this case, when the device is in a blocking state, a high electric field will be generated at the gate oxide layer, especially in the middle region of the JFET, which can easily cause the gate oxide layer to break down. The present application sets a blocking layer at the middle position of the JFET region, which can reduce the risk of the gate oxide layer being broken down, thereby protecting the field effect transistor. Under the protection of the blocking layer, the JFET region can have a very high doping concentration, which not only reduces the on-resistance of the device, but also improves the reliability of the device in the blocking state.
