Description

[0003] Existing RC-IGBT devices have voltage foldback during forward conduction, and in high-frequency switching applications, their switching loss and thermal management performance still need to be further optimized. Voltage foldback refers to the fact that in the early stage of forward conduction, the P-emitter region cannot inject holes into the N-drift region, resulting in no conductivity modulation effect in the N-drift region, making the on-resistance very large and the voltage folding back. This phenomenon affects the stability and reliability of the device and limits its use in high-frequency applications.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] The embodiment of the present invention provides a reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, such as Figure 1 As shown, including: A semiconductor substrate 1 and an IGBT device body 2 formed on the semiconductor substrate.

[0031] Among them, the semiconductor substrate 1 is the basic material for manufacturing semiconductor devices, and is used to support and construct various semiconductor devices. It is usually a thin piece of single crystal material with high crystalline integrity and electrical properties, providing the necessary physical and chemical basis for subsequent semiconductor process steps. Common materials for the semiconductor substrate 1 are silicon, gallium arsenide, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, etc.

[0032] IGBT device body 2 (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, insulated gate bipolar transistor) is a composite fully controlled voltage-driven power semiconductor device that combines the characteristics of MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) and BJT (bipolar transistor). It has the advantages of MOSFET's high input impedance and fast switching characteristics and BJT's low on-state voltage drop, and is widely used in various power electronic equipment.

[0033] The IGBT device body 2 is composed of an emitter 21, a gate 22, a collector 23 and a field limiting ring structure 24; the emitter 21 region includes a P+ type emitter region 211 and an N type base region 212; the emitter 21 region also includes an N+ heavily doped region 213 and an N- lightly doped region 214 to form a composite buffer structure; the gate 22 region includes a gate oxide layer 221 and a polysilicon filling layer 222; the collector 23 region includes an N+ doped region 231 and a P+ buffer layer 232, and the N+ doped region 231 forms a PIN diode structure and is reversely connected in parallel with the IGBT device.

[0034] The emitter 21 is an important region in the IGBT device body 2 , which is mainly responsible for emitting carriers (electrons or holes) to form a current path, thereby realizing the on and off functions of the IGBT device body 2 .

[0035] The P+ type emitter region 211 is used to form a low-resistance emitter contact to ensure that current can flow efficiently from the emitter to the base region.

[0036] The N-type base region 212 is used to form the source region of the MOSFET, and cooperates with the P+-type emitter region 211 to participate in the on and off control of the IGBT device body 2 .

[0038] The N-lightly doped region 214 refers to a region formed in a semiconductor material by doping N-type impurities (such as phosphorus or arsenic) at a low concentration.

[0039] The gate 22 is a key part for controlling the on and off of the IGBT device body 2. The gate 22 controls the formation and closing of the MOSFET channel by applying voltage, thereby realizing the control of the on state of the IGBT. The design and structure of the gate 22 have an important influence on the switching speed, driving voltage and power consumption of the IGBT device body 2.

[0040] The gate oxide layer 221 is located between the gate 22 and the semiconductor substrate 1 and is a dense dielectric layer, usually made of silicon dioxide (SiO2).

Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention improves the thermal management performance and voltage resistance of the device and prolongs the service life of the device by setting a P+ buffer layer and a field limiting ring structure; a composite buffer structure is formed in the emitter region to reduce the on-state voltage drop and switching loss of the device.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] The embodiment of the present invention provides a reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, such as Figure 2 As shown, including: A semiconductor substrate 1 and an IGBT device body 2 formed on the semiconductor substrate.

[0049] The IGBT device body 2 is composed of an emitter 21, a gate 22, a collector 23 and a field limiting ring structure 24; the emitter 21 region includes a P+ type emitter region 211 and an N type base region 212; the emitter 21 region also includes an N+ heavily doped region 213 and an N- lightly doped region 214 to form a composite buffer structure; the gate 22 region includes a gate oxide layer 221 and a polysilicon filling layer 222; the collector 23 region includes an N+ doped region 231 and a P+ buffer layer 232, and the N+ doped region 231 forms a PIN diode structure and is reversely connected in parallel with the IGBT device.

[0050] Preferably, in the reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, the IGBT device body 2 further includes: a drift region 25; The drift region 25 adopts a non-planar structure, and the non-planar structure has an arc-shaped transition region; the curvature radius of the non-planar structure is 50 micrometers to 100 micrometers.

[0051] The non-planar structure of the drift region 25 means that the shape of the drift region 25 is not a traditional planar structure, but has an arc-shaped transition area. This structural design can optimize the electric field distribution, reduce the electric field concentration phenomenon, and improve the voltage resistance and reliability of the device. The radius of curvature of the non-planar structure is usually between 50 microns and 100 microns, and the specific value depends on the design and application requirements of the IGBT device body 2.

[0052] Preferably, in the reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, the drift region 25 comprises: The thickness of the drift region 25 is 40 micrometers to 120 micrometers; the doping concentration of the drift region 25 is .

[0053] Among them, the setting of the thickness range of the drift region 25 is mainly based on the performance requirements of the IGBT device body 2. A thicker drift region 25 can withstand a higher voltage because the distribution of the electric field in the drift region 25 will change with the increase of thickness, while a thinner drift region 25 can reduce the on-resistance of the IGBT device body 2, which is beneficial to reduce the conduction loss of the IGBT device body 2 in low-voltage, high-current application scenarios.

[0054] Preferably, the reverse-conducting RC-IGBT device, the composite buffer structure comprises: The thickness of the N+ heavily doped region 213 in the composite buffer structure is 1 micron to 1.5 microns; the doping concentration of the N+ heavily doped region 213 is The thickness of the N-lightly doped region 214 in the composite buffer structure is 4 microns to 6 microns, and the doping concentration of the N-lightly doped region 214 is .

[0055] The thickness range of the N+ heavily doped region 213 is selected mainly to ensure good electrical contact and low resistance while avoiding other problems caused by excessive thickness. A thickness of 1 micron to 1.5 microns can ensure that there are enough doping atoms to provide a large number of carriers (electrons), thereby reducing contact resistance and improving the conductivity of the IGBT device body 2. A high doping concentration means that there are a large number of impurity atoms per unit volume, and these impurity atoms provide a large number of free electrons, thereby significantly reducing resistivity.

[0056] The thickness of the N-lightly doped region 214 is relatively thick, and is usually used to form a drift region or a buffer region. The thickness of 4 microns to 6 microns can provide sufficient space to disperse the electric field and improve the voltage resistance of the IGBT device body 2. The thicker N-lightly doped region 214 can effectively reduce the electric field strength and prevent the IGBT device body 2 from being broken down due to excessive electric field. Low doping concentration means fewer impurity atoms per unit volume, thereby providing a lower carrier concentration. This low doping concentration N-lightly doped region 214 can effectively improve the voltage resistance of the IGBT device body 2, because the lower carrier concentration can reduce the electric field strength and prevent the IGBT device body 2 from being broken down due to excessive electric field.

[0057] Preferably, in the reverse-conducting RC-IGBT device, the gate 22 comprises: The length of the gate 22 is 8 micrometers to 12 micrometers; the interval between the gates 22 is 4 micrometers to 6 micrometers.

[0058] Among them, the length of the gate 22 is an important parameter that affects the current control capability of the IGBT device body 2. A longer gate 22 can more effectively control the current in the channel and improve the switching ratio (i.e., the ratio of the on-state current to the off-state current) of the IGBT device body 2. A gate 22 length of 8 microns to 12 microns can provide better current control capability. The spacing of the gate 22 affects the integration density of the IGBT device body 2. A smaller gate spacing can increase the number of IGBT device bodies 2 per unit area, thereby improving the integration of the chip and reducing the cost of the IGBT device body 2.

[0059] Preferably, in the reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, the gate 22 further comprises: The gate 22 adopts a trench gate structure; the thickness of the gate oxide layer 221 is 50 nanometers to 100 nanometers.

[0060] The trench gate structure is a structure in which the gate 22 is embedded in a trench in the semiconductor substrate 1 to form a vertical channel. The thickness of the gate oxide layer 221 directly affects the electric field distribution of the IGBT device body 2. A thicker gate oxide layer 221 can better disperse the electric field and improve the withstand voltage capability of the device.

[0061] Preferably, in the reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, the trench gate structure comprises: The depth of the groove gate structure is 2 micrometers to 5 micrometers; the width of the groove gate structure is 0.5 micrometers to 2 micrometers.

[0062] Among them, the deeper trench gate structure can effectively disperse the electric field and improve the withstand voltage capability of the IGBT device body 2. In high voltage applications, the deep trench gate structure can reduce the electric field concentration phenomenon and reduce the risk of device breakdown. The narrower trench gate structure can significantly increase the number of IGBT device bodies 2 per unit area and improve the integration. The width of 0.5 microns to 2 microns can achieve high-density integration while ensuring the performance of the IGBT device body 2.

[0063] Preferably, in the reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, the N+ doped region 231 comprises: The doping concentration of the N+ doping region 231 is ; The junction depth of the N+ doped region 231 is 2 microns to 5 microns.

[0064] Among them, the high doping concentration of the N+ doping region 231 means that there are a large number of donor impurity atoms in a unit volume, and these impurity atoms provide a large number of free electrons, thereby significantly reducing the resistivity and improving the conductivity. The deeper junction depth can effectively disperse the electric field and improve the withstand voltage capability of the IGBT device body 2. In high voltage applications, the deep junction depth can reduce the electric field concentration phenomenon and reduce the risk of breakdown of the IGBT device body 2.

[0065] Preferably, in the reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, the P+ buffer layer 232 comprises: The thickness of the P+ buffer layer 232 is 1 micron to 5 microns; the doping concentration of the P+ buffer layer 232 is .

[0066] Among them, the thicker P+ buffer layer 232 can effectively disperse the electric field and improve the withstand voltage capability of the IGBT device body 2. In high voltage applications, the thick P+ buffer layer 232 can reduce the electric field concentration phenomenon and reduce the risk of breakdown of the IGBT device body 2. The high doping concentration of the P+ buffer layer 232 means that there are a large number of acceptor impurity atoms per unit volume, and these impurity atoms provide a large number of holes, thereby significantly reducing the resistivity and improving the conductivity.

[0067] Preferably, in the reverse conducting RC-IGBT device, the field limiting ring structure 24 comprises: The width of the field limiting ring structure 24 is 3 micrometers to 10 micrometers.

[0068] Among them, the main function of the field limiting ring structure 24 is to improve the withstand voltage of the IGBT device body 2. The wider field limiting ring structure 24 can disperse the electric field more effectively, reduce the electric field concentration phenomenon, and thus improve the breakdown voltage of the IGBT device body 2. The field limiting ring structure 24 forms equipotential lines on the surface of the IGBT device body 2, thereby reducing the intensity of the surface electric field and preventing surface breakdown. A width of 3 microns to 10 microns can form a sufficiently wide equipotential area on the surface of the IGBT device body 2, effectively reducing the surface electric field.

[0069] It should be noted here that the detailed description of each component of this embodiment can refer to other embodiments and will not be repeated here.
