[0050] See attached Figure 1The RC-IGBT structure according to an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described. In the following description, N and P represent the conductivity type of the semiconductor. In this embodiment, the first conductivity type is set as N type and the second conductivity type is set as P type for description.
[0051] The RC-IGBT structure includes: a substrate 100, a drift region 110 of a first conductivity type, a collector region 111 of a second conductivity type, a first trench gate 112, a base region 113 of a second conductivity type, a first emitter region 114 of a first conductivity type, a second emitter region 115 of a second conductivity type, a second trench gate 116, an anode region 117 of a second conductivity type, and a channel stop region 118 of a first conductivity type.
[0052] The base body 100 has a first main surface 101 and a second main surface 102 opposite to the first main surface 101 . The first main surface 101 and the second main surface 102 are spaced apart in the vertical direction.
[0053] The drift region 110 of the first conductivity type is disposed between the first main surface 101 and the second main surface 102. The drift region 110110 generally has a lower doping concentration, so it has a higher resistance and can withstand a higher voltage.
[0054] The collector region 111 of the second conductivity type is disposed on the side of the drift region 110 facing the first main surface 101, and the side of the collector region 111 away from the drift region 110 constitutes at least a portion of the first main surface 101. Exemplarily, a collector metal connected to the collector region 111 may be disposed on the first main surface 101.
[0055] The first trench gate 112 extends from the second main surface 102 to the first main surface 101 into the drift region 110. In the present embodiment, the first trench gate 112 includes a first gate trench extending from the second main surface 102 to the first main surface 101 into the drift region 110, a first gate dielectric layer located on the inner surface of the first gate trench, and a first polysilicon gate located on a side of the first gate dielectric layer away from the inner surface of the first gate trench. The first polysilicon gate is an active gate, that is, the first polysilicon gate is connected to an external drive signal source, and its potential is directly controlled by the external drive signal.
[0056] The base region 113 of the second conductivity type is arranged on the side of the drift region 110 facing the second main surface 102 and is located on both sides of the first trench gate 112 in the horizontal direction. The base region 113 can also be called a body region. Exemplarily, the side of the base region 113 away from the first main surface 101 can constitute part of the second main surface 102.
[0057] The first emitter region 114 of the first conductivity type is disposed on the side of the base region 113 facing the second main surface 102 , and the side of the first emitter region 114 away from the first main surface 101 constitutes part of the second main surface 102 . The doping concentration of the first emitter region 114 is higher than that of the drift region 110 .
[0058] The second emitter region 115 of the second conductivity type is arranged on the side of the base region 113 facing the second main surface 102, and is located on the side of the first emitter region 114 away from the first trench gate 112, and the side of the second emitter region 115 away from the first main surface 101 constitutes part of the second main surface 102. That is, in the horizontal direction, the first emitter region 114 is located between the first trench gate 112 and the second emitter region 115, and the first emitter region 114 is in contact with the first trench gate 112 and the second emitter region 115 on both sides in the horizontal direction. The doping concentration of the second emitter region 115 is higher than the doping concentration of the base region 113.
[0059] The second trench gate 116 extends from the second main surface 102 to the first main surface 101 into the drift region 110. In this embodiment, the second trench gate 116 includes a second gate trench extending from the second main surface 102 to the first main surface 101 into the drift region 110, a second gate dielectric layer located on the inner surface of the second gate trench, and a second polysilicon gate located on the side of the second gate dielectric layer away from the inner surface of the second gate trench. The second polysilicon gate is an active gate, that is, the second polysilicon gate is connected to an external drive signal source, and its potential is directly controlled by the external drive signal.
[0060] The anode region 117 of the second conductivity type is disposed on the side of the drift region 110 facing the second main surface 102 and is located on both sides of the second trench gate 116 in the horizontal direction, and the side of the anode region 117 away from the first main surface 101 constitutes part of the second main surface 102. In the horizontal direction, the side of the anode region 117 facing the second trench gate 116 is in contact with the second trench gate 116.
[0061] A channel stop region 118 of the first conductivity type is disposed on a side of the anode region 117 away from the first trench gate 112, and a side of the channel stop region 118 away from the first main surface 101 constitutes a portion of the second main surface 102. In the horizontal direction, a side of the channel stop region 118 facing the anode region 117 contacts the anode region 117. The doping concentration of the channel stop region 118 is higher than the doping concentration of the drift region 110.
[0062] The anode region 117 is conductively connected to the collector region 111 through an external connection line 200. It should be noted that the external connection line 200 mentioned here is a connection line outside the substrate 100, which may include conductive connection parts such as metal layers, metal columns, and wires. The second trench gate 116, the anode region 117 and the channel stop region 118 together constitute a front anode structure.
[0063] When the RC-IGBT structure according to the present embodiment is in a blocking state, a positive voltage is applied to the collector region 111, and no voltage is applied to the first trench gate 112 (i.e., the first polysilicon gate) and the second trench gate 116 (i.e., the second polysilicon gate). The voltages at the first trench gate 112 and the second trench gate 116 are both 0, and no conductive channel is generated.
[0064] According to the RC-IGBT structure of the present embodiment, when the RC-IGBT structure is in the forward conduction state, the collector region 111 and the first trench gate 112 (i.e., the first polysilicon gate) are positively voltageed, and the second trench gate 116 (i.e., the second polysilicon gate) is negatively voltageed. At this time, an electron channel is generated under the first trench gate 112, and a hole channel is generated under the second trench gate 116. Electrons and holes participate in the conduction process together, and the RC-IGBT structure does not have a unipolar transport mode, thereby effectively eliminating the voltage rebound phenomenon. At the same time, the collector region 111 and the anode region 117 both inject holes into the drift region 110, and the hole channel under the second trench gate 116 can also increase the hole injection efficiency of the anode region 117. At this time, the conductivity modulation effect in the drift region 110 is greatly enhanced compared to the traditional IGBT structure, which can effectively increase the current density of the RC-IGBT structure, so that the RC-IGBT structure has a smaller conduction voltage drop.
[0065] According to the RC-IGBT structure of this embodiment, when it is in the off state and the reverse conduction state, the first trench gate 112 (i.e., the first polysilicon gate) is negatively pressurized, and the second trench gate 116 (i.e., the second polysilicon gate) is positively pressurized. At this time, a hole channel and an electron channel are respectively induced under the first trench gate 112 and the second trench gate 116. In the off state, an electron and hole extraction channel can be provided to accelerate the extraction of electrons and holes and reduce the turn-off loss. In the reverse conduction state, the electron channel formed under the second trench gate 116 provides a path for the freewheeling diode.
[0066] In some embodiments, the first trench gate 112 (i.e., the first polysilicon gate) and the second trench gate 116 (i.e., the second polysilicon gate) are connected via an inverter. The inverter is used to invert the phase of the input signal by 180°. Assuming that the first trench gate 112 receives a positive voltage signal, after passing through the inverter, a negative voltage signal is transmitted to the second trench gate 116, and vice versa. This makes the control signals of the two trench gates always in opposite logical states. By setting the inverter, the first trench gate 112 and the second trench gate 116 can be controlled together, and a negative voltage can be automatically applied to the second trench gate 116 through the inverter while a positive voltage is applied to the first trench gate 112.
[0067] In this embodiment, the RC-IGBT structure further includes a first buffer zone 119 of the first conductivity type, the first buffer zone 119 is located between the anode region 117 and the drift region 110, and is located on the side of the second trench gate 116 facing the first trench gate 112. The doping concentration of the first buffer zone 119 is greater than the doping concentration of the drift region 110. The side of the first buffer zone 119 away from the first main surface 101 can constitute part of the second main surface 102, and in the horizontal direction, the side of the first buffer zone 119 away from the first trench gate 112 is in contact with the second trench gate 116. The provision of the first buffer zone 119 can change the electric field distribution of the RC-IGBT structure, so that the RC-IGBT structure can be turned off faster. In some embodiments, the first buffer zone 119 may not be provided between the anode region 117 and the drift region 110, and the anode region 117 is directly in contact with the drift region 110.
[0068] In this embodiment, the RC-IGBT structure further includes a carrier storage region 120 of the first conductivity type, and the carrier storage region 120 is located between the base region 113 and the drift region 110. The doping concentration of the carrier storage region 120 is greater than the doping concentration of the drift region 110. The side of the carrier storage region 120 away from the first main surface 101 can constitute part of the second main surface 102, and in the horizontal direction, the side of the carrier storage region 120 facing the first trench gate 112 is in contact with the first trench gate 112. The provision of the carrier storage region 120 can effectively improve the switching speed of the RC-IGBT structure, stabilize the working state of the RC-IGBT structure, so that the RC-IGBT structure will not generate excessive voltage spikes or current surges due to the rapid change of carriers, reduce switching losses, and allow the RC-IGBT structure to switch between the on state and the off state more quickly and stably. The carrier storage region 120 can also increase the withstand voltage capability of the RC-IGBT structure. It can help the drift region 110 withstand a higher reverse voltage and prevent the RC-IGBT structure from being broken down. In some embodiments, the carrier storage region 120 may not be disposed between the base region 113 and the drift region 110 , and the base region 113 is in direct contact with the drift region 110 .
[0069] In some embodiments, the RC-IGBT structure further includes a terminal structure 121, and the terminal structure 121 is at least partially located between the anode region 117 and the base region 113, and further, can be located between the first buffer region 119 and the carrier storage region 120. It should be noted that the term "located between the anode region 117 and the base region 113" (located between the first buffer region 119 and the carrier storage region 120) here refers to a position located between the two in the horizontal direction, and the terminal structure 121 can be located in the substrate 100, or outside the substrate 100, or partially in the substrate 100 and partially outside the substrate 100, and this application does not make specific restrictions on this. The provision of the terminal structure 121 can effectively improve the withstand voltage of the RC-IGBT structure.
[0070] Exemplarily, the terminal structure 121 may include at least one of a field plate, a field limiting ring, a JTE (Junction Termination Extension) and a VLD (Variation of Lateral Doping). The field plate, the field limiting ring, the JTE and the VLD are structures known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0071] In this embodiment, the RC-IGBT structure further includes a second buffer zone 122 of the first conductivity type, the second buffer zone 122 is located between the drift region 110 and the collector region 111, and the doping concentration of the second buffer zone 122 is greater than the doping concentration of the drift region 110. The second buffer zone 122 contacts the drift region 110 and the collector region 111 on both sides in the vertical direction. The second buffer zone 122 may also be referred to as a field termination zone. The main function of the second buffer zone 122 is to terminate the electric field when the RC-IGBT structure is turned off, to prevent the electric field from penetrating into the collector region 111, thereby improving the withstand voltage capability. When a high voltage is applied, the second buffer zone 122 can withstand a portion of the electric field, so that the electric field gradually weakens before reaching the collector region 111, thereby avoiding the breakdown of the collector region 111. The second buffer zone 122 can also reduce the duration and amplitude of the tail current by adjusting the carrier distribution and extraction speed. The reduction of the tail current helps to reduce the turn-off loss. In some embodiments, the second buffer zone 122 may not be provided between the drift region 110 and the collector region 111.
