[0002] In order to form a matching p-type structure, the SJ MOS (super junction MOSFET) with multiple epitaxial implantation process must undergo multiple epitaxial layer growth and p-type ion implantation. The number of growths is directly proportional to the cost. Although the multiple epitaxial implantation process is more expensive, different parameters such as implantation energy and implantation dose can be controlled after each epitaxy to form different p-type region distributions at different depths as required.
[0003] The mass production of SJ MOS requires precise control of the charge balance between n-type and p-type. How to precisely control the charge balance is of great significance to the mass production of SJ MOS, and it significantly affects the level of BVDSS (drain-source breakdown voltage).
[0004] In the current mass production of SJ MOS multi-layer epitaxy, it is necessary to monitor the stability of one or more pillar doping layers to simultaneously monitor the stability of the BVDSS of the SJ MOS. In current mass production, the stability of doping is mainly ensured by monitoring the stability of ion implantation RS (square resistance). In the existing monitoring method, the RS overlaps for every 0.1e13 difference in boron ion implantation, resulting in low monitoring accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0033] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, a power device PCM monitoring structure and monitoring method proposed in accordance with the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0034] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention are clearly presented in the following detailed description of the specific implementation modes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Through the description of the specific implementation modes, the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose can be more deeply and specifically understood. However, the attached drawings are only for reference and explanation purposes and are not used to limit the technical solutions of the present invention.
[0035] In the first aspect, the embodiment of the present invention provides a power device PCM monitoring structure, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a power device PCM monitoring structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the power device PCM monitoring structure of this embodiment includes: a plurality of stacked resistor bars 10 located in the dicing lanes of the wafer, the resistor bars 10 are connected to two adjacent p-pillars 20 in the SJ MOS, and the number of the resistor bars 10 is the same as the number of p-type ion implantations of the p-pillars 20.
[0036] In the process of preparing SJ MOS, the p-pillar is formed by multiple epitaxial layer growth and p-type ion implantation, and the p-pillar can be regarded as composed of multiple pillars stacked from bottom to top. In this embodiment, when preparing the p-pillar, epitaxial layer growth and p-type ion implantation are performed simultaneously in the wafer dicing lane to form a rectangular parallelepiped structure, which serves as the resistor bar 10, and the p-type ion implantation dose of the resistor bar 10 is the same as the p-type ion implantation dose of the corresponding pillar in the p-pillar 20.
[0037] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the p-pillar in the SJ MOS includes six pillars stacked from bottom to top, namely, the first layer pillar 21, the second layer pillar 22, the third layer pillar 23, the fourth layer pillar 24, the fifth layer pillar 25 and the sixth layer pillar 26. Therefore, six resistor bars 10 are correspondingly arranged in the power device PCM monitoring structure of this embodiment.
[0038] Optionally, the ratio of width to length of the resistor strip 10 is 10 / 1000.
[0039] Please continue to see Figure 1 The power device PCM monitoring structure of this embodiment also includes two contact holes 31 arranged in the ILD (InterLayer Dielectric) layer 30, and a metal lead 32 is arranged in the contact hole 31. One end of the metal lead 32 is connected to the p column 20, and the other end is connected to the pad 40.
[0040] In this embodiment, the resistance value of the resistor bar 10 can be tested by applying a voltage across the pad 40 .
[0041] In the power device PCM monitoring structure of this embodiment, since the p-type ion implantation dosage of the resistor bar 10 is the same as the p-type ion implantation dosage of the corresponding pillar in the p-pillar 20, the resistance value of the corresponding pillar in the p-pillar 20 can be monitored by measuring the resistance value of the resistor bar 10, thereby determining the stability of doping. For example, the resistance value of the first layer of pillar 21 can be monitored by testing the resistance value of the resistor bar 10 corresponding to the first layer of pillar 21, that is, the resistance value of the bottom layer of resistor bar 10, thereby determining the stability of the first doping of the p-pillar 20; the resistance values of the first layer of pillar 21 and the second layer of pillar 22 can be monitored by testing the resistance values of the resistor bars 10 corresponding to the first layer of pillar 21 and the second layer of pillar 22, that is, the resistance values of the two resistor bars 10 at the bottom layer, thereby determining the stability of the first and second doping superposition of the p-pillar 20.
[0042] The power device PCM monitoring structure of this embodiment can monitor the resistance value of one or more pillar layers of the p-pillar 20 , solving the problem that the doping of one or more pillar layers of the p-pillar 20 cannot be arbitrarily monitored.
[0043] The PCM monitoring structure of the power device of the embodiment of the present invention designs and arranges multiple stacked resistor bars in the wafer dicing lane, the resistor bars are connected to two adjacent p-pillars in the SJ MOS, the number of resistor bars is the same as the number of p-type ion implantations of the p-pillars, and the resistance value of the resistor bars in the dicing lane is tested to detect any one or more layers of pillar resistance of the p-pillars of the SJ MOS in wafers of different lots, and the corresponding relationship between pillar doping and BVDSS stability is confirmed by comparing the difference in the pillar resistance value of any one or more layers of the p-pillars of the SJ MOS in wafers of different lots. By comparing the results, the factors of BVDSS fluctuation can be accurately and quickly found, the stability of mass production process can be better achieved, BVDSS fluctuation can be reduced, and thus the economic losses caused by BVDSS fluctuation can be reduced.
[0044] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a monitoring method for a PCM monitoring structure of a power device, comprising:
[0045] Step 1: Expose the resistor strip corresponding to the pillar to be monitored in the p-column of the SJ MOS.
[0046] In this embodiment, the pillar to be monitored may be any one layer or any multiple layers of pillars of the p-column of the SJ MOS.
[0047] Step 2: Load voltage on the pad to test the resistance value of the exposed resistor strip and obtain the resistance detection value of the pillar to be monitored.
[0048] Step 3: Compare the resistance detection values of the pillar to be monitored of the SJ MOS in wafers of different lots, and determine whether the BVDSS of the SJ MOS is stable based on the comparison results.
[0049] "Lot" refers to a group of wafers or a batch of products in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Usually, multiple wafers are put together for the same process during wafer manufacturing, and the group of these wafers is a "Lot". In this embodiment, when the difference in the resistance detection value of the pillar to be monitored of the SJ MOS in wafers of different Lots is greater than a preset threshold, the BVDSS of the SJ MOS is unstable.
[0050] Furthermore, the monitoring method of the power device PCM monitoring structure of this embodiment is described in detail through specific examples.

The above method can be used to detect the resistance detection value of the first layer pillar 21 in the p-pillar of the SJ MOS in wafers of different lots, and then compare them. If the difference in the resistance detection value of the first layer pillar 21 of the SJ MOS in wafers of different lots is less than a preset threshold, then the first doping of the p-pillar 20 is stable, otherwise the first doping of the p-pillar 20 is unstable.
