[0002] Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is widely used in various power systems because of its advantages such as fast switching speed, low power consumption, easy gate drive, low drive power, high input impedance and fast frequency response. In various high electrical stress systems, on the one hand, power field effect transistors are required to have lower conduction losses, and on the other hand, the devices are required to be able to work for a longer time under high voltage and high current, that is, the devices must have high reliability and a large safe operating area (SOA). Based on the thermal instability of MOSFET, the greater the channel density, the easier it is for the parasitic transistors in the body to turn on, resulting in current concentration, causing the internal temperature of the device to rise, resulting in a reduction in the safe operating area (SOA).

[0074] S160, performing ion implantation and push-in junction on a side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2 to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 having a slope;
[0075] S170, performing partitioned ion implantation and push-junction on a side of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 away from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 to form a first conductive type semiconductor source region 6;

[0079] S211, depositing metal on the back side of the substrate 2 to form a drain metal layer 1;
[0080] The first oxide layer 9 a , the second oxide layer 9 b and the third oxide layer 9 c constitute the insulating dielectric layer 9 .
[0081] It should be noted that the substrate 2 is a heavily doped first conductivity type semiconductor, and the second conductivity type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 is heavily doped.
[0082] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, in step S110 , a substrate 2 is provided, and a single crystal material is grown on the front surface of the substrate 2 to form a first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 .
[0083] Specifically, in step S120, first trenches are formed on both sides of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and a first oxide layer 9a is formed in the first trenches, including: setting a mask on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, exposing, developing and etching the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 to obtain the first trench, and performing thermal oxidation growth or deposition on the first trench to form the first oxide layer 9a. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, a mask is set on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 provided with the mask layer is exposed and developed, the position of the first trench is determined, and the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 is etched to form the first trench. Because the semiconductor device is manufactured, the operation is performed on the entire substrate. Therefore, a substrate includes multiple field effect transistors, and the first trenches of two adjacent field effect transistors are adjacent. The first trench is located in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and then the first trench is thermally oxidized to form a first oxide layer 9a on the sidewall and bottom of the first trench.
[0084] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, in step S130, polysilicon is deposited on the first oxide layer 9a. If there is excess polysilicon deposition, the excess polysilicon material inside and outside the first trench is etched to form a shield gate polysilicon electrode 8 on the first oxide layer 9a.
[0085] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, in step S140, the first oxide layer 9a located on the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8 in the first trench is etched, and thermal oxidation growth or deposition is performed on the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8 to form a second oxide layer 9b, and the first oxide layer 9a and the second oxide layer 9b are used to wrap a portion of the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8. Since two adjacent field effect transistors are in contact with each other, the first oxide layer 9a and the second oxide layer 9b can completely wrap the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8.
[0086] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, in step S150, the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 located on the second oxide layer 9b is first thermally oxidized to form a sacrificial oxide layer, and then the sacrificial oxide layer is etched to form an arc surface structure, so that the side wall of the first trench located on the second oxide layer 9b is etched toward the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, so that the side wall of the first trench located on the second oxide layer 9b has an arc surface structure, and thermal oxidation growth is performed on the arc surface structure to form a third oxide layer 9c, polysilicon is deposited on the second oxide layer 9b, and excess polysilicon is etched back to form a gate polysilicon electrode 7, and the second oxide layer 9b and the third oxide layer 9c wrap part of the gate polysilicon electrode 7.
[0087] Specifically, Figure 7-12 As shown, in step S160, ion implantation and push-junction are performed on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 located between the third oxide layer 9c on the side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2, and a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope is formed on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3.
[0088] Specifically, ion implantation and push-up are performed on the side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 away from the substrate 2 to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope, including: performing oblique ion implantation on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 based on a preset angle to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z; and pushing-up is performed on the initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope. Specifically, as Figure 7As shown, ion implantation is performed on the side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2. The ion implantation angle is a preset angle with the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3. An initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z is formed in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3. Then, push-joining is performed to obtain a second conductive type semiconductor region 4 with a slope.
[0089] In detail, ion implantation and push-up are performed on the side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 away from the substrate 2 to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope, including: opening a window on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 based on a mask to obtain an ion implantation window; ion implantation is performed on the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 based on the ion implantation window to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z; and push-up is performed on the initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z to form a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 with a slope. The region formed by ion implantation through the mask is the initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z.
[0090] In more detail, the ion implantation window includes a single window or multiple windows, and ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 based on the ion implantation window to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z, including: when the ion implantation window is a single window, ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through a single window to obtain an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z; when the ion implantation window is multiple windows, ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through multiple windows to obtain an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z.
[0091] The single window ion implantation method is as follows: ① Ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through a single ion implantation window to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3. ② First, low doping concentration of second conductive type impurities are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and then high doping concentration of second conductive type impurities are implanted into one side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through a single window to form an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z. ③ As Figure 8-9 As shown, second conductive type impurities of different doping concentrations are respectively injected into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through a single window mask with two opening positions coordinated with each other to obtain an initial second conductive type semiconductor body region 4z, wherein the two opening positions are coordinated with each other as follows: the openings of the two masks do not overlap and their positions are relatively arranged, for example, the window position of the first mask is a partial window in the upper left area of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and the window position of the second mask is a partial window in the upper right area of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3.
[0092] Specifically, Fig.10 As shown, three windows of different sizes are set on the mask, and the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 is opened to form three ion implantation windows, and ions are implanted into the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 through the three ion implantation windows, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown, three initial second conductive type semiconductor body regions 4z of different sizes are formed in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, and the three initial second conductive type semiconductor body regions 4z of different sizes are pushed, as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown, a second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 (4a and 4b) with a slope is formed in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3. The number, size and position of the ion implantation windows can be set according to actual conditions and are not limited thereto.
[0093] It should be noted that if Fig.12 As shown, in order to accurately express the doping concentration of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4, the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 is divided into two parts, and the doping concentration of the first second conductive type semiconductor body region 4a formed in the area with a large ion implantation window is greater than that of the second second conductive type semiconductor body region 4b formed in the area with a small ion implantation window, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, when the ion implantation window decreases from left to right, as Fig.12 As shown, the first second conductivity type semiconductor body region 4a located on the left side is heavily doped, and the second second conductivity type semiconductor body region 4b located on the right side is lightly doped.
[0094] In detail, in step S170, Fig.13 As shown, partitioned ion implantation and push-junction are performed on the side of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 away from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 to form a first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 on the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 .
[0095] Specifically, Fig.14 As shown, in step S180, the surfaces of the gate polysilicon electrode 7, the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 and the third oxide layer 9c are passivated to form a gate-source dielectric layer 10; in step S190, photolithography is performed on the side of the gate-source dielectric layer 10 away from the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 to form a second trench between the first conductive type semiconductor source regions 6, and ion implantation is performed in the second trench, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 As shown, a second conductivity type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 is formed in the second conductivity type semiconductor body region 4 .
[0096] Specifically, Fig.15As shown, in step S210, metal is deposited on the gate-source dielectric layer 10 and the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5, and then the excess deposited metal layer is photolithographically processed to form a source metal layer 11; in step S211, the back of the substrate 2 is first thinned, and then metal is deposited on the back of the thinned substrate 2 to form a drain metal layer 1.

[0108] The source metal layer 11 is disposed on a side of the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 away from the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 , and the source metal layer 11 covers the gate source dielectric layer 10 and the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 .
[0109] In detail, Fig.14 As shown, the shielding gate polysilicon electrode 8 is isolated from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 by the first oxide layer 9a in the horizontal direction; the gate polysilicon electrode 7 is isolated from the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3, the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4, the second conductive type semiconductor ohmic contact region 5 and the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 by the third oxide layer 9c, wherein the horizontal direction is the direction parallel to the drain metal layer 1.
[0110] In more detail, Fig.14 As shown, the contact surface between the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 and the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 has a slope, and the doping concentration of the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 decreases as its volume decreases.
[0111] It should be emphasized that the doping concentration of the heavily doped region of the field effect transistor provided in the present application is greater than 1e18 cm -3 , the doping concentration in the lightly doped region is less than 1e17cm -3 The first conductive type semiconductor is an N-type semiconductor, and the second conductive type semiconductor is a P-type semiconductor; or the first conductive type semiconductor is a P-type semiconductor, and the second conductive type semiconductor is an N-type semiconductor, and the semiconductor material is silicon or silicon carbide.
[0112] like Fig.14 As shown, the second conductive type semiconductor body region 4 is divided into two parts. According to the volume relationship, the first second conductive type semiconductor body region 4a is heavily doped, and the second second conductive type semiconductor body region 4b is lightly doped. When the field effect transistor is turned on, on the side of the heavily doped first second conductive type semiconductor body region 4a, as the dosage of the second conductive type semiconductor in the body region increases, the source region gradually reduces the voltage and the voltage drops, so that the voltage drop between the second conductive type semiconductor body regions 4 with different doping concentrations and the first conductive type semiconductor source region 6 does not exceed 0.7V, thereby effectively suppressing the turning on of the parasitic triode of the field effect transistor, enhancing the thermal instability resistance of the field effect transistor, and obtaining a larger safe working area.
[0113] It should be noted that the field effect transistor may not need the shield gate polysilicon electrode 8, and the trench and planar gate field effect transistors are also applicable.
[0114] Thirdly, Fig.16 As shown, the present application also provides a method for manufacturing a field effect transistor, comprising:
[0115] S1601, providing a substrate 2, the substrate 2 comprising a front side and a back side arranged opposite to each other, and generating a first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 on the front side of the substrate 2;

[0123] S1609 , depositing metal on the back side of the substrate 2 to form a drain metal layer 1 .
[0124] It should be noted that the position of the third trench is the same as that of the first trench. Since the third trench does not include the shielding gate polysilicon electrode 8 , the depth of the third trench is smaller than that of the first trench.
[0125] Fourthly, Fig.17As shown, the present application further provides a field effect transistor, which is manufactured based on the method for manufacturing a field effect transistor provided in the third aspect, comprising:
[0126] A drain metal layer 1, and a substrate 2 and a first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 sequentially stacked on the drain metal layer 1;
[0127] An insulating dielectric layer 9 is disposed on a side of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 facing away from the substrate 2, wherein a portion of the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 3 is located between the insulating dielectric layers 9;
[0128] A gate polysilicon electrode 7, which is arranged on a side of the insulating dielectric layer 9 facing away from the substrate 2;

[0134] The present application provides a method for manufacturing a field effect transistor and a field effect transistor. The manufacturing method forms a second conductive type semiconductor body region with a difference in doping concentration by ion implantation, without significantly increasing the manufacturing process and cost of the field effect transistor. Due to the difference in doping concentration of the second conductive type semiconductor body region, the turn-on time between cells is different, which avoids the concentration of current and heat, enhances the thermal stability of the field effect transistor, and increases the safe operating area. Compared with a device with virtual cells, its on-resistance is significantly reduced.
