Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular relates to a semiconductor device terminal structure and a preparation method thereof, as well as a semiconductor device comprising the semiconductor device terminal structure. Background Art
[0002] When in the blocking state, a semiconductor device primarily carries voltage through the depletion region formed by the pn junction (main junction) under reverse bias. According to Poisson's equation, the peak electric field intensity in the depletion region is located near the pn junction; when the peak electric field intensity reaches the critical breakdown electric field intensity of the semiconductor material, the device will breakdown. In the actual fabrication process, cylindrical and spherical junctions form at the edges and corners of the pn junction. Due to the curvature effect, the electric field near these junctions is more concentrated, and the electric field intensity is much greater than that of the parallel plane junction in the middle region. Consequently, the edges and corners will breakdown before the parallel plane junction, resulting in a device breakdown voltage far lower than the ideal value.
[0003] To alleviate the problem of premature breakdown at the edges and corners of the pn junction, where curvature reduces device blocking capability, the industry often adds termination structures around the pn junction. These structures disperse the electric field that originally gathered at the main junction edge, reducing the field strength there and bringing the device's breakdown voltage closer to the ideal value for a parallel-plane junction.
[0004] Current junction termination technology is relatively mature for silicon materials. However, for third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials, such as silicon carbide, firstly, due to the extremely low diffusion coefficient of impurities in silicon carbide materials, the doping of silicon carbide materials is often performed through high-temperature ion implantation to form a shallow pn junction, resulting in a smaller radius of curvature of the pn junction of silicon carbide power devices, making it easier for the electric field to concentrate, and further reducing the blocking capability of the device and the protection capability of the junction terminal. Secondly, in a high-voltage, high-temperature, and high-humidity environment, charge accumulation, moisture corrosion, and ion migration will occur at the terminal, and the electrode on the front of the device and the cutting path may be short-circuited. At this time, the cutting path and the back electrode, as well as the main junction and the back electrode, need to withstand the blocking voltage of the device. The traditional terminal structure only protects the main junction and ignores the protection of the cutting path area, resulting in increased leakage current in the cutting path area or premature breakdown in the cutting path area, and the breakdown voltage of the device is lower than the ideal value. Third, on the outside of the junction terminal and at the outermost edge of the device (i.e., the cutting path area of the device), when the device is in the blocking state, the potential of the cutting path area is equal to the bus voltage, while the potential of the electrode in the middle of the front of the device is 0V, which means that there is a huge potential difference between the electrode and the cutting path. Air breakdown may occur between the front electrode and the cutting path, causing the device to burn. Summary of the Invention

The second doped region 32 is in direct contact with the buried layer 4 located in the saw street region of the semiconductor device. When current flows from the substrate 1 to the drift layer 2, the height of the buried layer 4 is higher than the height of the bottom of the recessed structure. The interior of the recessed structure is filled with an insulating dielectric layer 5. Field plates 6 are disposed on the inner sides of both the first and second sidewalls. The field plates 6 and the first doped region 31, and the field plates 6 and the second doped region 32 are both isolated by the insulating dielectric layer 5. A terminal structure 7 is provided at the bottom of the recessed structure. Both the first doped region 31 and the second doped region 32 are in direct contact with the terminal structure 7. A third doped region 33 is provided above the drift layer 2 located in the main junction region of the semiconductor device. Along the direction from the substrate 1 to the drift layer 2, the height of the third doped region 33 is higher than that of the buried layer 4. The third doped region 33 is in direct contact with the first doped region 31. The substrate 1 and the drift layer 2 are both doped with the first doping type; the first doped region 31, the second doped region 32, the third doped region 33, the buried layer 4, and the terminal structure 7 are all doped with the second doping type.
[0048] As an example, the substrate 1 is at least one of a silicon carbide substrate, a silicon substrate, a gallium nitride substrate, a gallium oxide substrate, a diamond substrate, and an aluminum nitride substrate.
[0049] As an example, in some embodiments, the recessed structure is a groove whose bottom surface is parallel to the substrate. In other embodiments, the shape of the recessed structure is not limited.
[0050] As an example, the field plate 6 is made of a metal material (such as aluminum, copper, nickel, etc.) or a semiconductor material (such as polysilicon).
[0051] As an example, the terminal structure 7 is one or a combination of a field limiting ring (FLR), a junction termination extension (JTE), and a field plate (FP). Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the terminal structure 7 is a field limiting ring. Figure 8 As shown, the terminal structure 7 is a junction terminal extension structure. Figure 9 As shown, the terminal structure 7 is a combination of a field limiting ring and a junction terminal extension structure. Figure 10 As shown, the terminal structure 7 is a combination of a junction terminal extension structure and a floating field plate 6. Figure 11 As shown, the terminal structure 7 directly in contact with the first doped region 31 is a field limiting ring, and the terminal structure 7 directly in contact with the second doped region 32 is a junction terminal extension structure; that is, the terminal structure close to the main junction area of the semiconductor device and the terminal structure close to the cutting street area can be the same or different.
[0052] As an example, the doping type of the substrate 1 and the drift layer 2 is n-type, and the doping type of the first doping region 31, the second doping region 32, the third doping region 33, the buried layer 4, and the terminal structure 7 is p-type. Alternatively, the doping type of the substrate 1 and the drift layer 2 is p-type, and the doping type of the first doping region 31, the second doping region 32, the third doping region 33, the buried layer 4, and the terminal structure 7 is n-type.
[0053] Example 2
[0054] Reference Figures 7 to 12 A semiconductor device is divided into a main junction region A, a terminal region B and a cutting street region C. The terminal region B includes the terminal structure of the semiconductor device in Example 1. A cathode 8 is deposited on the surface of the substrate 1 facing away from the drift layer 2. An anode 9 is deposited on the upper surface of the third doped region 33 (or the drift layer 2) located in the main junction region A. Figure 12 A fourth doping region 34 is provided on the upper layer of the drift layer 2 in the scribe line region C. The doping type of the fourth doping region 34 is the same as that of the first doping region 31. The fourth doping region 34 can further reduce the risk of breakdown in the scribe line region C.
[0055] As an example, the doping depth of the third doping region 33 in the direction from the drift layer 2 to the substrate 1 can be adjusted. For example, the doping depth of the third doping region 33 makes the third doping region 33 directly contact the buried layer 4 (e.g. Figure 13 shown).
[0056] As an example, the doping depth of the fourth doping region 34 in the direction from the drift layer 2 to the substrate 1 can be adjusted. For example, the doping depth of the fourth doping region 34 makes the fourth doping region 34 directly contact the buried layer 4 (e.g. Figure 14 shown).
[0057] As an example, the drift layer 2 is divided into a first drift layer 21 and a second drift layer 22. The first drift layer 21 is located between the substrate 1 and the buried layer 4, and the second drift layer 22 is located above the buried layer 4. The second drift layer 22 and the first drift layer 21 have the same doping type but different doping concentrations. The doping depth of the third doping region 33 is such that the third doping region 33 does not directly contact the buried layer 4 (e.g., Figures 7 to 12As shown), at this time, the second drift layer 22 of the main junction region A serves as a current diffusion layer, which can enhance the conduction capability of the device.
[0058] As an example, the drift layer 2 is divided into a first drift layer 21 and a second drift layer 22. The first drift layer 21 is located between the substrate 1 and the buried layer 4, and the second drift layer 22 is located above the buried layer 4. The second drift layer 22 and the first drift layer 21 have the same doping type but different doping concentrations. The doping depth of the fourth doping region 34 is such that the fourth doping region 34 does not directly contact the buried layer 4 (e.g., Figure 12 As shown), at this time, the second drift layer 22 in the cutting channel region C serves as a current diffusion layer, which can enhance the conduction capability of the device.
[0059] As an example, the insulating dielectric layer 5 extends from the inside of the recess structure to the upper surface of the drift layer 2. The field plate 6 extends from the inner side of the first sidewall of the recess structure to the upper surface of the insulating dielectric layer 5 located in the main junction region A, and periodically contacts the anode 9 in three-dimensional space (e.g., Figure 15 As shown, Figure 15 For the convenience of observation, the interior of the recessed structure is not completely filled with an insulating dielectric layer to achieve the purpose of grounding.
