Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to an integrated high-voltage semiconductor device structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The superjunction structure introduces the ordinary PN junction into the voltage-resistant layer of the power device, and introduces a significant two-dimensional field effect inside the voltage-resistant layer. This complex field modulation can greatly reduce the peak electric field on the surface of the device and optimize the field distribution inside the body. The rated voltage of superjunction MOSFET devices is generally above 650V, and is widely used in various high-voltage fields such as automotive electronics, photovoltaic new energy, artificial intelligence, servers, computers, industrial power supplies, and household appliances.

[0003] AC-DC chips are switching power chips specially designed to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). They are commonly used in various electronic devices such as automotive electronics, photovoltaic new energy, artificial intelligence, servers, computers, industrial power supplies, household appliances, etc. to provide the required low-voltage DC power. AC-DC chips contain functional modules such as input power filter circuit, rectifier circuit, switching power control circuit and output voltage stabilization circuit to achieve efficient AC to DC conversion.

[0004] Figure 1 It is a common flyback AC-DC circuit topology, which includes AC-DC chip, super junction power MOSFET (M1) device, transformer, rectifier and output filter. The AC-DC chip can periodically open and close the super junction power MOSFET (M1) device to generate high-frequency pulse signals. These pulse signals are transmitted to the output end through the transformer, and then converted into a smooth DC output voltage through the rectifier and filter.

[0005] For traditional AC-DC chips, VDD is connected to the input stage through resistor R1. When the chip is powered on, the input stage supplies power to the chip's VDD through resistor R1. When the potential of C1 reaches the minimum startup voltage of the chip, the chip starts to work. When the chip is started, VDD draws power through the inductor winding coupled to the output end and supplies power to the chip. Therefore, once the chip is started, the AC-DC chip does not need to be powered through resistor R1, but the path is always in the on state, which increases the loss of the system and reduces the AC-DC conversion efficiency.

[0006] In addition, in this circuit topology, it is necessary to additionally set up a super junction power MOSFET device as a switching device, which increases the complexity of the system. Moreover, due to the introduction of additional devices, higher stray inductance and stray capacitance will be brought about, affecting the reliability of the system. Summary of the invention

[0085] An N-type epitaxial layer 003 is disposed on the surface of the N-type substrate 002;

[0086] The drain metal 001 is disposed on the back side of the N-type substrate 002;

[0087] P-type columns 004 are arranged at intervals in the N-type epitaxial layer 003, including a first P-type column 004a located in the M1 device region 300 and the M2 device region 500, and a second P-type column 004b located in the isolation region 600;

[0088] A P-type body region 005 is disposed in the N-type epitaxial layer 003 and is located above each of the P-type pillars 004, and the P-type body region 005 is connected to one or more of the P-type pillars 004 thereunder; the P-type body region 005 includes a first P-type body region 005a located in the M1 device region 300 and the M2 device region 500, and a second P-type body region 005b located in the isolation region 600; wherein a first heavily doped N-type source 007a and a first heavily doped P-type source 006a are disposed in the first P-type body region 005a, and the first heavily doped N-type source 007a is located on both sides of the first heavily doped P-type source 006a;

[0089] A threshold adjustment region 009 located on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003 in the M2 device region 500;

[0090] A gate oxide layer 008 is disposed on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003;

[0091] A first gate polysilicon 010a is disposed on the surface of the gate oxide layer 008 located in the M1 device region 300 and the M2 device region 500;

[0092] The dielectric layer 011 is disposed on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003, including a first dielectric layer 011a located in the M1 device region 300 and the M2 device region 500, and a second dielectric layer 011b located in the isolation region 600;

[0093] The M1 source metal 014 and the M2 source metal 013 correspond to the surfaces of the first dielectric layer 011a located in the M1 device region 300 and the M2 device region 500, respectively, wherein the M1 source metal 014 is connected to the first heavily doped N-type source 007a and the first heavily doped P-type source 006a in each of the first P-type body regions 005a in the M1 device region 300, and the M1 source metal 014 is connected to the first heavily doped N-type source 007a and the first heavily doped P-type source 006a in each of the first P-type body regions 005a in the M2 device region 500;

[0094] The diode device D1 includes an anode metal 018 and a cathode metal 017, both of which are located on the surface of the second dielectric layer 011b;

[0095] The second heavily doped N-type source 007b and the second heavily doped P-type source 006b are respectively disposed in the second P-type body region 005b, the anode metal 018 is connected to the second heavily doped N-type source 007b, and the cathode metal 017 is connected to the second heavily doped P-type source 006b.

[0096] Specifically, the first dielectric layer 011a is provided with a first contact hole 012a filled with a first metal; the first metal is in contact with the M1 source metal 014 and the M2 source metal 013 below, and the first metal is in contact with the corresponding first heavily doped N-type source 007a and the first heavily doped P-type source 006a respectively; the first dielectric layer 011a isolates the first gate polysilicon 010a and the first metal.

[0098] Specifically, for the convenience of design, the threshold adjustment region 009 is provided on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003 in the M2 device region 500. Since the doping concentration of the heavily doped N-type source and the heavily doped P-type source is much higher than the threshold adjustment region 009, the threshold adjustment region 009 in the source region can be ignored. In addition, since the threshold adjustment region 009 mainly adjusts the threshold voltage of the channel region, the threshold adjustment region 009 can also be provided only on the surface of the first P-type body region 005a in the M2 device region 500.

[0099] It can be understood that an enhancement-type super junction power MOSFET device M1 is formed in the M1 device region 300, a depletion-type super junction power MOSFET device M2 is formed in the M2 device region 500, an isolation structure 200 and the diode device D1 are formed in the isolation region 600, and the drain of the enhancement-type super junction power MOSFET device M1 is connected to the drain of the depletion-type super junction power MOSFET device M2; in addition, it also includes a first gate pad 1, a first source pad 3, a second gate pad 2 and a second source pad 4; wherein:

[0100] The first gate pad 1 is connected to the first gate polysilicon 010a in the M1 device region 300 through a metal or polysilicon lead;

[0102] The second gate pad 2 is connected to the first gate polysilicon 010a in the M2 device region 500 through a metal or polysilicon lead;

[0103] The second source pad 4 is connected to the M2 source metal 013 through a metal or polysilicon lead.

[0104] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the drain of the enhancement-type super junction power MOSFET device M1 is connected to the drain of the depletion-type super junction power MOSFET device M2, and an isolation structure 200 is further provided between the enhancement-type super junction power MOSFET device M1 and the depletion-type super junction power MOSFET device M2, and the diode device D1 is provided in the isolation structure 200. The cross-sectional structure of the enhancement-type super junction power MOSFET device M1 is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional structure of the depletion-type super-junction power MOSFET device M2 is shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.

[0105] Reference Figure 3 As shown, there are a first gate pad 1, a second gate pad 2, a first source pad 3, a second source pad 4, an anode pad 5, and a cathode pad 6, and the pads correspond to Figure 2 The various pins in the circuit schematic shown.

[0106] It should be noted that in order to save chip area, the depletion-mode super junction power MOSFET device M2 is arranged inside the enhancement-mode super junction power MOSFET device M1, and an isolation structure 200 of different sizes is provided between the depletion-mode super junction power MOSFET device M2 and the enhancement-mode super junction power MOSFET device M1 depending on different isolation requirements. Not only that, the diode device D1 is also arranged in the isolation structure 200.

[0107] Figure 3 The heavily doped N-type source and the heavily doped P-type source located in the isolation structure 200 are schematically shown, which respectively constitute the cathode and anode of the diode device D1 and are respectively connected to the cathode pad 6 and the anode pad 5 through metal.

[0108] It should be noted that the depletion-mode super junction power MOSFET device M2 and the diode device D1 may also be arranged outside the enhancement-mode super junction power MOSFET device M1.

[0109] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in the enhancement-mode super junction power MOSFET device M1 and the depletion-mode super junction power MOSFET device M2 adjacent to the isolation structure 200, the gate oxide layer 008 and the first gate polysilicon 010a thereon are not provided. Meanwhile, the threshold adjustment region 009 is not provided on the side adjacent to the isolation structure 200 of the depletion-mode super junction power MOSFET device M2. The main purpose of the above measures is to avoid the existence of leakage channels on the surface of the first P-type body region 005a on both sides of the isolation structure 200, thereby affecting the isolation effect.

[0110] Specifically, in order to ensure that the depletion-type super junction power MOSFET device M2 has lower leakage when turned off, in the M2 device region 500, two first P-type pillars 004a are exemplarily provided under each of the first P-type body regions 005a, which makes the channel length of the device longer, while not affecting the original charge balance of the super junction device. The increase of the first P-type pillars 004a in the M2 device region 500 further increases the channel length, and the increase in the channel length can further reduce the leakage of the device in the off state.

[0111] Reference Figure 8 As shown in the figure, it is the transfer characteristic curve of the depletion-type device under different channel length conditions. Under the condition of Vgs=0V, the device is in the on state, and under the condition of Vgs=-3V, the device is in the off state. However, for different channel lengths, the leakage of the device in the off state is not the same. When the channel is longer (L=5μm), the leakage of the device in the off state is at the pA level, and when the channel is shorter, the leakage of the device in the off state is about 0.1mA, which is nearly 7 orders of magnitude different. Therefore, increasing the channel length can effectively reduce the leakage level of the device, thereby reducing the power consumption of the system and improving the system efficiency.

[0112] When designing a device, a trade-off needs to be made between the leakage level of the device and the device area. Therefore, in the M2 device region 500, 2 to 5 first P-type pillars 004a are provided under each first P-type body region 005a.

[0113] Specifically, in the isolation region 600, two second P-type columns 004b are exemplarily provided below each second P-type body region 005b. The above arrangement improves the isolation withstand voltage between the enhancement-type super junction power MOSFET device M1 and the depletion-type super junction power MOSFET device M2. Generally speaking, the larger the area of ​​the isolation structure 200, the better the isolation effect. Therefore, depending on the different isolation withstand voltage requirements between the enhancement-type super junction power MOSFET device M1 and the depletion-type super junction power MOSFET device M2, the area of ​​the isolation structure 200 is also different, and the number of the second P-type columns 004b below each second P-type body region 005b is 2 to 5.

[0114] When the above-mentioned integrated high-voltage semiconductor device 100 is used, it will be integrated with the control circuit in the same AC-DC chip. When the AC-DC chip is powered on, since the depletion-type super-junction power MOSFET device M2 is naturally turned on, a current path can be formed to supply power to the chip. After the chip is started, the depletion-type super-junction power MOSFET device M2 is turned off by the control circuit, and the above-mentioned charging path through the depletion-type super-junction power MOSFET device M2 is also disconnected, thereby avoiding power loss in this charging circuit after the chip is started.

[0115] In addition, a diode device D1 is also provided in the power semiconductor device. Since the diode device D1 has a natural temperature characteristic, that is, the forward conduction voltage drop of the diode will decrease with the increase of temperature, the forward voltage drop of the diode can be used to monitor the operating temperature of the chip. When the temperature is too high, the control circuit will give a signal to shut down the enhanced super junction power MOSFET device M1 to prevent the temperature from further increasing and causing chip failure.

[0116] Example 2

[0117] This embodiment provides an integrated high-voltage semiconductor device 100 structure. The difference from the first embodiment is that Figure 7 As shown, a second gate polysilicon 010b is provided in the second dielectric layer 011b, and heavily doped N-type polysilicon 015 and heavily doped P-type polysilicon 016 are respectively provided on both sides of the second gate polysilicon 010b, the heavily doped N-type polysilicon 015 is connected to the cathode metal 017, and the heavily doped P-type polysilicon 016 is connected to the anode metal 018. The heavily doped N-type polysilicon 015 is connected to the cathode metal 017 through the second metal, and the heavily doped P-type polysilicon 016 is connected to the anode metal 018 through the second metal. The rest of the structure is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0118] Embodiment 2 provides a new diode implementation method, that is, using polysilicon to implement the diode. Since a dielectric layer 011 is provided between the polysilicon and the bulk silicon for isolation, the diode device D1 formed using polysilicon can effectively avoid the leakage problem of the polysilicon diode in the bulk silicon.

[0119] Example 3

[0120] This embodiment provides a method for manufacturing an integrated high-voltage semiconductor device 100 structure. Figure 6 Taking the cross-sectional structure shown as an example, the following steps are included:

[0121] Step S1: Fig. 9 As shown, an N-type substrate 002 material is selected and an N-type epitaxial layer 003 is epitaxially grown. Each region in the figure only shows the basic structure of the device and does not represent the actual area size of each region;

[0122] Step S2: Fig.10 As shown, a deep trench 019 is selectively etched on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003. The deep trench 019 is generally deep, reaching a depth of more than 2 / 3 of the epitaxial layer, and a typical depth of more than 20 μm;

[0123] Step S3: Fig.11As shown, P-type silicon material is deposited to fill the above-mentioned deep trench 019 to form a P-type column 004, and the excess P-type silicon material on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003 is removed to form a basic N / P spacing distribution structure of the super junction structure. It should be noted that the industry usually uses deep trench 019 or multiple epitaxial process methods to achieve a super junction N / P spacing distribution structure. The power semiconductor device can also use multiple epitaxial process methods to achieve an N / P spacing super junction structure;

[0124] Step S4: Fig.12 As shown, a mask window is used, and the mask window is generally a photoresist, and its function is to transfer the pattern on the layout to the actual device, that is, on the silicon wafer. Through chemical and optical treatment, the area opened by the photoresist can form a corresponding doped area or remove the medium in this area. In this step, by means of ion implantation, P-type impurities are implanted on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003 and thermally annealed to form a P-type body region 005, and the P-type body region 005 is connected to one or more P-type pillars 004 thereunder;

[0125] Step S5: Fig.13 As shown, by using a mask window and ion implantation, N-type impurities are implanted on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003 to form a threshold adjustment region 009. The threshold adjustment region 009 is only arranged in the M2 device region 500. Its main purpose is to enable the device to be turned on when the gate voltage is 0.

[0126] Step S6: Fig.14 As shown, a gate oxide layer 008 is grown on the surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 003, and gate polysilicon 010 is deposited on the surface of the gate oxide layer 008 and the surface of the dielectric layer 011, and the excess gate oxide layer 008 and the gate polysilicon 010 thereon are etched away using a mask window;

[0127] Step S7: Fig.15 As shown, using a mask, N-type impurities are injected to form a heavily doped N-type source, and then using another mask, P-type impurities are injected to form a heavily doped P-type source. The gate polysilicon will block the injection of N-type impurities or P-type impurities into the N-type epitaxial layer 003. After high-temperature annealing, the N-type impurities and P-type impurities are activated. Due to the high temperature, the N-type impurities will further diffuse into the dielectric layer 011 and the N-type epitaxial layer 003 under the gate oxide layer. The high temperature here is usually around 1000°C, and it can also be achieved by laser annealing or rapid thermal annealing.

[0128] Step S8: Fig.16 As shown, a dielectric layer 011 is deposited, and a mask window is used to etch the dielectric layer 011 to form a contact hole 012;

[0129] Step S9: Fig.17As shown, metal is deposited on the dielectric layer 011, the metal fills the contact hole 012 and connects the heavily doped N-type source, the heavily doped P-type source and the surface metal, and the surface metal is etched using a mask window to form an M1 source metal 014, an M2 source metal 013, a cathode metal 017 and an anode metal 018;

[0130] Step S10: Figure 6 As shown, the N-type substrate 002 is thinned, usually to 100 μm to 200 μm, and a metal is deposited on the back side thereof to form a drain metal 001 .

[0131] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
