[0044] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0047] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means one or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0048] Shielded gate MOSFET has the advantages of low internal resistance, large saturation current, strong output capacity, and low power consumption. It is widely used in digital circuits, analog circuits, power management, radio frequency applications, etc. However, when the shield gate and control gate are distributed in the left, middle, and right of the trench, usually, the middle gate acts as a shield gate with a longer downward distance and is connected to the source signal to assist in depleting the drift region and increase the breakdown voltage of the device. The gate structures on both sides are connected to the gate signal as the control gate structure. In this way, the doped silicon in the channel can be reverse biased, so that the device is turned on. However, under this structure, the larger overlap area between the control gate and the shield gate will lead to a larger input capacitance, thereby reducing the switching performance of the device.

[0049] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a shielded gate trench MOSFET structure, which can reduce the capacitance of the shielded gate trench MOSFET device and optimize the switching characteristics of the shielded gate trench MOSFET device.

[0050] See also Figure 1 As shown, the shielded gate trench MOSFET structure in the embodiment of the present application includes: an N-type substrate 210, an N-type drift region 220, a first dielectric material layer 310, a first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411, a second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412, a P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413, a first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414, a second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415, a first P-type base region 511, a second P-type base region 512, a first N-type doped region 513, a second N-type doped region 514, a drain layer 611, a source layer 612 and a gate layer 613.

[0051] The N-type drift region 220 is a concave structure, the first dielectric material layer 310 is arranged in the groove of the N-type drift region 220, the first dielectric material layer 310 wraps the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411, the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412, the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413, the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414 and the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415, the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411 and the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412 are respectively located on both sides of the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 and contact the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413, the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414 is isolated from the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411 by the first dielectric material layer 310, and the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415 is isolated from the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412 by the first dielectric material layer 310 isolation; the first P-type base region 511 and the second P-type base region 512 are in an L-shaped structure, and are respectively arranged on both sides of the N-type drift region 220; the first N-type doping region 513 is located on the horizontal part of the first P-type base region 511 of the L-shaped structure, and the second N-type doping region 514 is located on the horizontal part of the second P-type base region of the L-shaped structure; the drain layer 611 is arranged on the back side of the N-type substrate 210; the source layer 612 is in contact with the first N-type doping region 513, the second N-type doping region 514, the first P-type base region 511, and the second P-type base region 512, and is in contact with the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 through the shielding gate source through hole on the first dielectric material layer 310; the gate layer 613 is in contact with the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414 and the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415 through the control gate gate through hole on the first dielectric material layer 310.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414, the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411, the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413, the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412 and the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415 are sequentially arranged in parallel in the groove of the N-type drift region 220, and are wrapped by the first dielectric material layer 310, and the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414 and the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411 are isolated by the first dielectric material layer 310, and the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415 and the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412 are isolated by the first dielectric material layer 310, so as to achieve the isolation of the control gate and the shielding gate by the first dielectric material layer 310. In addition, the present application realizes the isolation of the control gate and the shielding gate by the first dielectric material layer 310. 2 are in contact with the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413, and then the reverse-biased PN junction between the shielding gates (that is, the reverse-biased PN junctions between the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411, the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413, and the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412) is used to shield the low electric field of the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413, so as to make the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411 and the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412 in a floating state, and then further isolate the shielding gate from the control gate (that is, isolate the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 from the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414, and isolate the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 from the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415), finally achieving the purpose of reducing the capacitance of the shielded gate trench MOSFET device and optimizing the switching characteristics of the shielded gate trench MOSFET device.

[0055] Table 1:

[0056]

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the depth of the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 is greater than the depth of the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411 and the depth of the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412 .

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the depth of the first N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 411 is the same as the depth of the second N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 412 .

[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the depth of the first N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 411 is greater than the depth of the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414 .

[0060] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the depth of the second N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 412 is greater than the depth of the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415 .

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 is a rectangular structure, and the width of the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 is smaller than the width of the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411 and the width of the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412 .

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the depth of the P-type shield gate polysilicon layer 413 to be greater than the depth of the first N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 411 and the depth of the second N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 412, the depth of the first N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 411 is greater than the depth of the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414, and the depth of the second N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 412 is greater than the depth of the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415, an auxiliary depletion drift region is realized, which is beneficial to improving the breakdown voltage of the device.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1As shown, the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 is a rectangular structure, and the width of the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 is smaller than the width of the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411 and the width of the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412, so as to further isolate the shielding gate from the control gate (that is, isolate the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 from the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414, and isolate the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 from the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415), so as to reduce the capacitance of the shielding gate trench MOSFET device and optimize the switching characteristics of the shielding gate trench MOSFET device.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, in order to optimize the electric field of the N-type drift region 220 , the P-type shield gate polysilicon layer 413 is a stepped structure, and the width of the P-type shield gate polysilicon layer 413 increases step by step from the drain layer 611 to the source layer 612 .

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, a P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 including a step is provided in an embodiment of the present application. In this structure, the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 is deeper than the first N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 411 and the second N-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 412, and the portion is a convex structure, and the convex portion of the P-type shielding gate polysilicon layer 413 faces the N-type substrate 210.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, when the P-type shield gate polysilicon layer 413 is a stepped structure, the maximum width of the P-type shield gate polysilicon layer 413 is greater than the width of the first N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 411 and the width of the second N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 412 to optimize the electric field of the N-type drift region 220 .

[0067] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the first N-type doping region 513 and the second N-type doping region 514 are both in contact with the first dielectric material layer 310. That is, the first N-type doping region 513 and the first N-type control gate polysilicon layer 414 are isolated by the first dielectric material layer 310, and the second N-type doping region 514 and the second N-type control gate polysilicon layer 415 are isolated by the first dielectric material layer 310.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, the first dielectric material layer 310 may be silicon dioxide or hafnium dioxide.

[0069] Since traditional shielded gate MOSFETs usually use silicon dioxide (SiO2) as the gate oxide layer of the shielded gate, this design can improve the device's withstand voltage strength to a certain extent, but limited by the physical characteristics of silicon dioxide's low dielectric constant, the thickness of the gate oxide layer of the shielded gate cannot be too thick, otherwise the shielded gate cannot deplete the drift region, and although a thin SiO2 layer can achieve a better auxiliary depletion effect, it will cause the thin SiO2 of the device to break down. In summary, the above two points lead to a low breakdown voltage of the device.

[0070] In order to increase the breakdown voltage of the device, Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a second dielectric material layer 311 may also be arranged between the first dielectric material layer 310 and the first N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 411, between the first dielectric material layer 310 and the second N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 412, and between the first dielectric material layer 310 and the P-type shield gate polysilicon layer 413, and the dielectric constant of the second dielectric material layer 311 is greater than the dielectric constant of the first dielectric material layer 310.

[0071] For example, the first dielectric material layer 310 is made of silicon dioxide, and the second dielectric material layer 311 is made of hafnium dioxide.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the second dielectric material layer 311 between the first dielectric material layer 310 and the first N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 411, between the first dielectric material layer 310 and the second N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 412, and between the first dielectric material layer 310 and the P-type shield gate polysilicon layer 413, and the dielectric constant of the second dielectric material layer 311 is greater than the dielectric constant of the first dielectric material layer 310, a composite dielectric material layer obtained by combining the first dielectric material layer 310 and the second dielectric material layer 311 is achieved to isolate the shield gate level (that is, the shield gate composed of the first N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 411, the second N-type shield gate polysilicon layer 412, and the P-type shield gate polysilicon layer 413) from the N-type drift region 220, and the same auxiliary depletion effect can be achieved with a thicker shield gate oxide layer, thereby enhancing the breakdown voltage at the bottom of the shield gate, and since the auxiliary depletion effect is close, the impact on the on-resistance of the device is low.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application further provides a method for preparing a shielded gate trench MOSFET structure, and the preparation method includes: steps S100 to S900.

[0074] Step S100 : forming an N-type drift layer 211 by epitaxial growth on the front surface of the N-type substrate 210 .

[0075] like Figure 6As shown, an N-type drift layer 211 having a thickness greater than that of the N-type substrate 210 may be formed by epitaxial growth on the front side of the N-type substrate 210 .
