[0064] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the embodiments in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only embodiments of one area of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0065] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0066] As described in the background technology, for trench MOSFET devices, the high electric field in the drift region will cause a very high electric field on the gate dielectric layer, which will cause the gate dielectric layer to quickly break down under high drain voltage, especially at the trench corners, making the trench MOSFET poorly resistant to electrostatic effects in harsh environments and high-voltage spikes in circuits.
[0067] In addition, the parasitic diode (also called body diode) in the trench MOSFET device is a bipolar device with minority carrier storage effect, long reverse recovery time and large switching loss.
[0068] Based on the above, the present application provides a trench MOSFET device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the MOSFET device includes:
[0069] The substrate 100 may be a wide bandgap substrate, such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), gallium oxide (Ga2O3), diamond (C), aluminum nitride (AlN), etc. Accordingly, the trench MOSFET device described in the present application may be a wide bandgap trench MOSFET device.
[0070] The epitaxial layer 200 is located on the surface of the substrate 100, and specifically, the epitaxial layer 200 is located on the upper surface of the substrate 100. It should be noted that the surface of the substrate 100 specifically refers to the upper surface of the substrate 100. It should be noted that the epitaxial layer 200 may be an N-type epitaxial layer.
[0071] The well region layer 300 is located on the side of the epitaxial layer 200 away from the substrate 100, and the doping concentration of the well region layer 300 decreases along the direction away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, in the direction from the epitaxial layer 200 to the well region layer 300, the doping concentration of the well region layer 300 decreases. The well region layer 300 may be a P-type doped well region.
[0072] At least one MOSFET structure 400, the MOSFET structure 400 includes a source region 410, a trench gate 420, a source 430 and a drain 440. The trench gate 420 includes a trench 421 located on the side of the well region layer 300 away from the epitaxial layer 200, a gate 422 located in the trench 421, and an interlayer dielectric layer 426 filling the trench 421 and covering the gate 422, and a gate dielectric layer 423 is also filled between the gate 422 and the trench 421, that is, the trench gate 420 is located in the well region layer 300, and is wrapped by the well region layer 300, and then the trench corner of the trench gate 420 can be wrapped by the well region layer 300. The source region 410 is located on the side of the well layer 300 away from the epitaxial layer 200, surrounds the trench 421, and contacts the outer wall of the trench 421. The source region 410 may be composed of a first source region 411 and a second source region 412 of different doping types. For example, the first source region 411 is an N-type doped source region in contact with the outer wall of the trench 421, and the second source region 412 is a P-type doped source region. The source electrode 430 is located on the side of the source region 410 away from the epitaxial layer 200. Specifically, the source electrode 430 contacts the first source region 411 and also contacts the second source region 412. The drain electrode 440 is located on the side of the substrate 100 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the drain electrode 440 is located on the lower surface of the substrate 100, and the lower surface of the substrate 100 is opposite to the upper surface.
[0073] The MOSFET structure 400 further includes a first carrier channel 1, which is located between the trench gate 420 and the epitaxial layer 200. Specifically, one end of the first carrier channel 1 is connected to the trench 421, and the other end is connected to the epitaxial layer 200. When the MOSFET device is working, current flows through the first carrier channel 1.
[0074] From the above, it can be seen that for the trench MOSFET device provided in the present application, its trench gate 420 is located in the well region layer 300, so that the trench corner of the trench gate 420 can be wrapped by the well region layer 300, so that the electric field shielding at the trench gate 420 can be effectively achieved through the well region layer 300, especially for the electric field shielding at the trench corner of the trench 421, which helps to suppress the problem of rapid breakdown of the gate dielectric layer 423 of the trench gate 420 under high drain voltage, thereby ensuring the reliability of the trench MOSFET device.
[0075] It should be noted that when the well region layer 300 is used to achieve electric field shielding of the trench gate 420, the doping concentration of the well region layer 300 has an important influence on the effect of electric field shielding. If the doping concentration is low, a good shielding effect cannot be formed, and if the doping concentration is too high, it will affect the conduction characteristics of the device, resulting in a significant degradation of the conduction characteristics of the device. For this reason, the doping concentration of the well region layer 300 of the trench MOSFET device provided by the present application decreases in the direction away from the epitaxial layer 200. The region with high doping concentration in the well region layer 300 can form a good shielding effect, and the region with low doping concentration can ensure the conduction characteristics of the device. Then, the well region layer 300 can form a good shielding effect without affecting the conduction characteristics of the device, effectively solving the problem that the gate dielectric layer 423 of the trench gate 420 is quickly broken down under high drain voltage, and ensuring the reliability of the trench MOSFET device.
[0076] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the well region layer 300 includes a first well region 310 and a second well region 320 arranged along a first direction, wherein the first direction is from the epitaxial layer 200 to the well region layer 300, that is, the first well region 310 and the second well region 320 are arranged along a direction away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the first well region 310 is located on a side close to the epitaxial layer 200, and the second well region 320 is located on a side away from the epitaxial layer 200.
[0077] The doping concentration of the second well region 320 is lower than the doping concentration of the first well region 310, and the groove 421 is located in the second well region 310, so that the area with low doping concentration in the well region layer 300 ensures the conduction characteristics of the device, and the area with high doping concentration forms a good shielding effect, so that the well region layer 300 can form a good shielding effect without affecting the conduction characteristics of the device.
[0078] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the trench MOSFET device further includes: a first diode structure 500. For the trench MOSFET device, there is a first diode structure 500 between two adjacent MOSFET structures 400 in the at least one MOSFET structure 400, and the first diode structure 500 includes a carrier shielding layer 510 and a second carrier channel 2.
[0079] Specifically, the second carrier channel 2 of the first diode structure 500 is located in the well region layer 300, and penetrates the first well region 310 and the second well region 320, that is, the second carrier channel 2 penetrates the well region layer 300, and its upper and lower ends are respectively exposed on the upper surface and lower surface of the well region layer 300. The source region 410 surrounds the second carrier channel 2, that is, the source region 410 surrounds one end of the second carrier channel 2 exposed on the upper surface of the well region layer 300, and the second carrier channel 2 surrounds the carrier shielding layer 510, specifically, the carrier shielding layer 510 extends into the second well region 320, and is exposed on the side of the second well region 320 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the carrier shielding layer 510 extends into the second well region 320, and the side of the carrier shielding layer 510 away from the epitaxial layer 200 is flush with the side of the second carrier channel 2 away from the epitaxial layer 200.
[0080] As can be seen from the above, there is a first diode structure 500 between two adjacent MOSFET structures 400 in the above-mentioned at least one MOSFET structure 400, and the first diode structure 500 can form a high-speed freewheeling diode controlled by a PN junction. Since the high-speed freewheeling diode is a unipolar device, there will be no minority carrier storage effect, and the reverse recovery time is short, thereby reducing the switching loss of the trench MOSFET device. Specifically, when the high-speed freewheeling diode formed by the above-mentioned first diode structure 500 is in a reverse withstand voltage state, the second carrier channel 2 will be pinched off by the surrounding source region 410, the carrier shielding layer 510 and the depletion region of the well layer 300. At this time, the above-mentioned high-speed freewheeling diode is in a closed state, thereby effectively avoiding the degradation problem of the withstand voltage blocking characteristics of the MOSFET device, thereby reducing the switching loss of the trench MOSFET device.
[0081] In addition, the first diode structure 500 includes a carrier shielding layer 510. In the well region layer 300, the second carrier channel 2 surrounds the carrier shielding layer 510. In other words, the carrier shielding layer 510 is embedded in the second carrier channel 2. As the name implies, the carrier shielding layer 510 is a film layer that blocks carriers. Therefore, due to the presence of the carrier shielding layer 510, the second carrier channel 2 can be made narrower, and then the second carrier channel 2 can be pinched off during reverse withstand voltage.
[0082] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the carrier shielding layer 510 extends along the second direction, the second direction is parallel to the plane where the well region layer 300 is located, and the second carrier channel 2 surrounds the carrier shielding layer 510, that is, the carrier shielding layer 510 is a strip or a piece extending along the second direction, that is, the carrier shielding layer 510 can be an integrally formed structure.
[0083] In another embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the carrier shielding layer 510 includes a plurality of sub-shielding layers 511 arranged along a second direction, and the second direction is parallel to the plane where the well region layer 300 is located. There is a first gap between the plurality of sub-shielding layers 511, and the second carrier channel 2 surrounds the carrier shielding layer 510 and is also filled in the first gap between the plurality of sub-shielding layers 511. The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the carrier shielding layer 510 in this embodiment is intermittently distributed and is not an integrally formed structure.
[0084] Based on the above two embodiments, it can be seen that for the trench MOSFET device provided in the present application, the carrier shielding layer 510 can be an integrally formed structure or can be discontinuously distributed. It can be flexibly selected based on the actual application scenario and is highly practical.
[0085] It should be noted that if the carrier shielding layer 510 is a discontinuous structure including a plurality of sub-shielding layers 511, each sub-shielding layer 511 may be a rectangular shape (eg Figure 4 ), or it can be circular (as shown in Figure 5 As shown), or other shapes, this application does not limit this, depending on the specific circumstances.
[0086] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 for Figure 6 In the cross-sectional view along BB1, the trench MOSFET device also includes a second diode structure 600, wherein, for the present trench MOSFET device, there is a second diode structure 600 between two adjacent MOSFET structures 400 in the at least one MOSFET structure 400, and the second diode structure 600 includes a carrier shielding layer 610 and a second carrier channel 2.
[0087] Specifically, the carrier shielding layer 610 of the second diode structure 600 extends into the second well region 320 and is exposed on the side of the second well region 320 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the carrier shielding layer 610 extends from the upper surface of the well region layer 300 to the second well region 320. In addition, the carrier shielding layer 610 includes a plurality of sub-shielding layers 611 arranged along a second direction, with a first gap between the plurality of sub-shielding layers 611, and the second direction is parallel to the plane where the well region layer 300 is located.
[0088] The second carrier channel 2 of the second diode structure 600 penetrates the well region layer 300, and the second carrier channel 2 surrounds the portion of the carrier shielding layer 610 located in the second well region 320, and the second carrier channel 2 also fills the first gap between the plurality of sub-shielding layers 611. The source region 410 surrounds the side of the second carrier channel 2 away from the epitaxial layer and the side of the carrier shielding layer 610 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the source region 410 surrounds the second carrier channel 2 and the portion of the carrier shielding layer 610 located on the upper surface of the well region layer 300, that is, the second carrier channel 2 located on the upper surface of the well region layer 300 is surrounded by the source region 410 and in contact with the source region 410, and the carrier shielding layer 610 located on the upper surface of the well region layer 300 is surrounded by the source region 410 and in contact with the source region 410.
[0089] The difference between the second diode structure 600 described in this embodiment and the above-mentioned first diode structure 500 is that the part of the second carrier channel 2 located in the well region layer 300 surrounds the part of the carrier shielding layer 610 located in the second well region 320, and the second carrier channel 2 located on the upper surface of the well region layer 300 corresponds to the first gap between the multiple sub-shielding layers 611, that is, the carrier shielding layer 610 is wider, so that the second carrier channel 2 of the second diode structure 600 can be narrower, so as to further ensure that the second carrier channel 2 can be pinched off during reverse withstand voltage.
[0090] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the second carrier channel 2 includes a plurality of channel regions 21 arranged along a first direction, and the diameters of the plurality of channel regions 21 gradually increase along the first direction. The carrier shielding layer 510 includes a plurality of shielding regions 512 arranged along the first direction, and the diameters of the plurality of shielding regions 512 gradually increase in the first direction. In other words, the diameter of the second carrier channel 2 gradually decreases during the process of extending into the well region layer 300, and the diameter of the carrier shielding layer 510 gradually decreases during the process of extending into the well region layer 300, so that the second carrier channel 2 can be more easily pinched off during reverse withstand voltage.
[0091] Based on the above embodiments, in a specific embodiment of the present application, Figure 8As shown, the plurality of channel regions 21 include a first channel region 211, a second channel region 212, and a third channel region 213 arranged along a first direction. The first channel region 211 is located in the first well region 310, and the first channel region 211 is exposed on the side of the first well region 310 facing the epitaxial layer 200, that is, one end of the first channel region 211 is exposed on the lower surface of the well region layer 300. The second channel region 212 is located in the second well region 320, covering the first channel region 211, and the third channel region 213 extends in the second well region 320, covering the second channel region 212, and the third channel region 213 is exposed on the side of the second well region 320 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the second channel region 212 and the third channel region 213 penetrate the second well region 320, and the third channel region 213 is exposed on the upper surface of the well region layer 300.
[0092] Specifically, the diameter of the first channel region 211 is smaller than the diameter of the second channel region 212 , and the diameter of the second channel region 212 is smaller than the diameter of the third channel region 213 .
[0093] Accordingly, the carrier shielding layer 510 may include a first shielding region 5121 and a second shielding region 5122 arranged along the first direction, and a diameter of the first shielding region 5121 is smaller than a diameter of the second shielding region 5122 .
[0094] Alternatively, the carrier shielding layer 510 may include a first shielding region 5121, a second shielding region 5122, and a third shielding region 5123 arranged along the first direction, the diameter of the first shielding region 5121 is smaller than the diameter of the second shielding region 5122, and the diameter of the second shielding region 5122 is smaller than the diameter of the third shielding region 5123. It should be noted that when the carrier shielding layer 510 includes three shielding regions arranged along the first direction, the corresponding diode structure may also be the second diode structure 600, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the carrier shielding layer 610 may include a first shielding area 6121, a second shielding area 6122 and a third shielding area 6123 arranged along a first direction, the diameter of the first shielding area 6121 is smaller than the diameter of the second shielding area 6122, and the diameter of the second shielding area 6122 is smaller than the diameter of the third shielding area 6123.
[0095] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, the layout of the trench MOSFET device may be a square cell layout, such as Fig.10 In another embodiment of the present application, the layout of the trench MOSFET device may be a hexagonal cell layout, such as Fig.11 However, this application does not limit this, and the specific situation depends on the circumstances.
[0096] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, Fig.12 for Fig.10 and Fig.11 Cross-sectional view along CC1, Fig.13 for Fig.10 and Fig.11 In the cross-sectional view along DD1, the gate 422 includes a first gate 424 and a second gate 425. The first gate 424 includes a first sub-gate 4241 and a second sub-gate 4242, the first sub-gate 4241 covers the sidewall of the groove 421, the second sub-gate 4242 also covers the sidewall of the groove 421, and there is a second gap between the first sub-gate 4241 and the second sub-gate 4242, and the second gap exposes the bottom of the groove 421. The second gate 425 covers the sidewall and bottom of the groove 421, and is used to connect to the second gate of the adjacent MOSFET structure, thereby realizing the connection between the adjacent MOSFET structures. It should be noted that, for this embodiment, the interlayer dielectric layer 426 covers the first gate 424 and fills the second gap, and the interlayer dielectric layer 426 covers the second gate 425, so that the interlayer dielectric layer 426 fills the groove 421 and covers the gate 42.
[0097] As can be seen from the above, the first gate 424 is composed of two separate gate structures, which can reduce the contact area between the gate 422 and the drain 440, thereby reducing the gate-drain capacitance of the trench MOSFET device, thereby improving the switching characteristics of the trench MOSFET device.
[0098] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the gate 422 is a fin-shaped gate, but the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present application, the gate 422 can also be a rectangular gate, etc., depending on the specific circumstances.
[0099] The present application also provides a method for preparing a trench MOSFET device, which is used to prepare the trench MOSFET device described in any of the above embodiments. Fig.14 As shown, the preparation method comprises:
[0100] S1: Provide a substrate 100, which may be a wide bandgap substrate, such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), gallium oxide (Ga2O3), diamond (C), aluminum nitride (AlN), etc. Accordingly, the trench MOSFET device described in the present application may be a wide bandgap trench MOSFET device.
[0101] S2 : forming an epitaxial layer 200 on the substrate 100 , specifically growing an N-type epitaxial layer 200 on the upper surface of the substrate 100 .
[0102] S3: A well region layer 300 is formed on the side of the epitaxial layer 200 away from the substrate 100, and the doping concentration of the well region layer 300 decreases along the direction away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the doping concentration of the well region layer 300 decreases in the direction from the epitaxial layer 200 to the well region layer 300. The well region layer 300 may be a P-type doped well region. It should be noted that the well region layer 300 may be formed by ion implantation or secondary epitaxial growth, depending on the specific situation.
[0103] S4: forming at least one MOSFET structure 400, the MOSFET structure 400 comprising a source region 410, a trench gate 420, a source 430 and a drain 440. The trench gate 420 comprises a trench 421 located on the side of the well region layer 300 away from the epitaxial layer 200, a gate 422 located in the trench 421, and an interlayer dielectric layer 426 filling the trench 421 and covering the gate 422, and a gate dielectric layer 423 is also filled between the gate 422 and the trench 421, that is, the trench gate 420 is located in the well region layer 300, and is wrapped by the well region layer 300, and then the groove corner of the trench gate 420 can be wrapped by the well region layer 300. The source region 410 is located on the side of the well layer 300 away from the epitaxial layer 200, surrounds the trench 421, and contacts the outer wall of the trench 421. The source region 410 may be composed of a first source region 411 and a second source region 412 of different doping types. For example, the first source region 411 is an N-type doped source region in contact with the outer wall of the trench 421, and the second source region 412 is a P-type doped source region. The source electrode 430 is located on the side of the source region 410 away from the epitaxial layer 200. Specifically, the source electrode 430 contacts the first source region 411 and also contacts the second source region 412. The drain electrode 440 is located on the side of the substrate 100 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the drain electrode 440 is located on the lower surface of the substrate 100, and the lower surface of the substrate 100 is opposite to the upper surface.
[0104] The MOSFET structure 400 further includes a first carrier channel 1, which is located between the trench gate 420 and the epitaxial layer 200. Specifically, one end of the first carrier channel 1 is connected to the trench 421, and the other end is connected to the epitaxial layer 200. When the MOSFET device is working, current flows through the first carrier channel 1.
[0105] From the above, it can be seen that for the trench MOSFET device prepared by the preparation method provided in the present application, the trench gate 420 is located in the well region layer 300, so that the trench corner of the trench gate 420 can be wrapped by the well region layer 300, so that the electric field shielding at the trench gate 420 can be effectively achieved through the well region layer 300, especially for the electric field shielding at the trench corner of the trench 421, which helps to suppress the problem of rapid breakdown of the gate dielectric layer 423 of the trench gate 420 under high drain voltage, thereby ensuring the reliability of the trench MOSFET device.
[0106] It should be noted that when the well region layer 300 is used to achieve electric field shielding for the trench gate 420, the doping concentration of the well region layer 300 has an important influence on the effect of electric field shielding. If the doping concentration is low, a good shielding effect cannot be formed, and if the doping concentration is too high, the conduction characteristics of the device will be affected, resulting in a significant degradation of the conduction characteristics of the device. For this reason, the doping concentration of the well region layer 300 decreases in the direction away from the epitaxial layer 200. The region with a high doping concentration in the well region layer 300 can form a good shielding effect, and the region with a low doping concentration can ensure the conduction characteristics of the device. Then, the well region layer 300 can form a good shielding effect without affecting the conduction characteristics of the device, effectively solving the problem of the gate dielectric layer 423 of the trench gate 420 being quickly broken down under a high drain voltage, and ensuring the reliability of the trench MOSFET device.
[0107] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, for step S3, forming a well region layer 300 on a side of the epitaxial layer 200 facing away from the substrate 100 includes:
[0108] A first well region 310 and a second well region 320 arranged along a first direction are formed on a side of the epitaxial layer 200 facing away from the substrate 100 , and the first direction is from the epitaxial layer 200 to the well region layer 300 .
[0109] The doping concentration of the second well region 320 is lower than the doping concentration of the first well region 310, and the groove 421 is located in the second well region 320, so that the area with low doping concentration in the well region layer 300 ensures the conduction characteristics of the device, and the area with high doping concentration forms a good shielding effect, so that the well region layer 300 can form a good shielding effect without affecting the conduction characteristics of the device.
[0110] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, the preparation method further comprises:
[0111] S5: forming a first diode structure 500 , wherein a first diode structure 500 is provided between two adjacent MOSFET structures 400 in at least one MOSFET structure 400 , and the first diode structure 500 includes a carrier shielding layer 510 and a second carrier channel 2 .
[0112] Specifically, the second carrier channel 2 of the first diode structure 500 is located in the well region layer 300, and penetrates the first well region 310 and the second well region 320, that is, the second carrier channel 2 penetrates the well region layer 300, and its upper and lower ends are respectively exposed on the upper surface and lower surface of the well region layer 300. The source region 410 surrounds the second carrier channel 2, that is, the source region 410 surrounds one end of the second carrier channel 2 exposed on the upper surface of the well region layer 300, and the second carrier channel 2 surrounds the carrier shielding layer 510, specifically, the carrier shielding layer 510 extends into the second well region 320, and is exposed on the side of the second well region 320 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the carrier shielding layer 510 extends into the second well region 320, and the side of the carrier shielding layer 510 away from the epitaxial layer 200 is flush with the side of the second carrier channel 2 away from the epitaxial layer 200.
[0113] As can be seen from the above, there is a first diode structure 500 between two adjacent MOSFET structures 400 in the above-mentioned at least one MOSFET structure 400, and the first diode structure 500 can form a high-speed freewheeling diode controlled by a PN junction. Since the high-speed freewheeling diode is a unipolar device, there will be no minority carrier storage effect, and the reverse recovery time is short, thereby reducing the switching loss of the trench MOSFET device. Specifically, when the high-speed freewheeling diode formed by the above-mentioned first diode structure 500 is in a reverse withstand voltage state, the second carrier channel 2 will be pinched off by the surrounding source region 410, the carrier shielding layer 510 and the depletion region of the well layer 300. At this time, the above-mentioned high-speed freewheeling diode is in a closed state, thereby effectively avoiding the degradation problem of the withstand voltage blocking characteristics of the MOSFET device, thereby reducing the switching loss of the trench MOSFET device.
[0114] In addition, the first diode structure 500 includes a carrier shielding layer 510. In the well region layer 300, the second carrier channel 2 surrounds the carrier shielding layer 510. In other words, the carrier shielding layer 510 is embedded in the second carrier channel 2. As the name implies, the carrier shielding layer 510 is a film layer that blocks carriers. Therefore, due to the presence of the carrier shielding layer 510, the second carrier channel 2 can be made narrower, and then the second carrier channel 2 can be pinched off during reverse withstand voltage.
[0115] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in one embodiment of the present application, the preparation method further comprises:
[0116] S6: forming a second diode structure 600 , wherein a first diode structure 500 is provided between two adjacent MOSFET structures 400 in at least one MOSFET structure 400 , and the first diode structure 500 includes a carrier shielding layer 610 and a second carrier channel 2 .
[0117] Specifically, the carrier shielding layer 610 of the second diode structure 600 extends to the second well region 320 and is exposed on the side of the second well region 320 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the carrier shielding layer 610 extends from the upper surface of the well region layer 300 to the inside of the second well region 320. The carrier shielding layer 610 includes a plurality of sub-shielding layers 611 arranged along a second direction, with a first gap between the plurality of sub-shielding layers 611, and the second direction is parallel to the plane where the well region layer 300 is located.
[0118] The second carrier channel 2 of the second diode structure 600 penetrates the well region layer 300, and the second carrier channel 2 surrounds the portion of the carrier shielding layer 610 located in the second well region 320, and the second carrier channel 2 also fills the first gap between the plurality of sub-shielding layers 611. The source region 410 surrounds the side of the second carrier channel 2 away from the epitaxial layer and the side of the carrier shielding layer 610 away from the epitaxial layer 200, that is, the source region 410 surrounds the second carrier channel 2 and the portion of the carrier shielding layer 610 located on the upper surface of the well region layer 300, that is, the second carrier channel 2 located on the upper surface of the well region layer 300 is surrounded by the source region 410 and in contact with the source region 410, and the carrier shielding layer 610 located on the upper surface of the well region layer 300 is surrounded by the source region 410 and in contact with the source region 410.
[0119] Compared with the above-mentioned embodiments, in the present embodiment, the portion of the second carrier channel 2 of the second diode structure 600 located in the well region layer 300 surrounds the portion of the carrier shielding layer 610 located in the second well region 320, and the second carrier channel 2 located on the upper surface of the well region layer 300 corresponds to the first gap between the multiple sub-shielding layers 611, that is, the carrier shielding layer 610 is wider, so that the second carrier channel 2 of the second diode structure 600 can be narrower, so as to further ensure that the second carrier channel 2 can be pinched off during reverse withstand voltage.
