Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to a SiC MOSFET device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the integrated circuit manufacturing process, ohmic contact is a key process for device preparation. With the improvement of SiC MOSFET integration and the expansion of its application range, higher requirements are placed on the electrode's specific contact resistance and high-temperature reliability.
[0003] SiC devices are widely used in electronic power systems. The working environment is often under high power, high temperature and high pressure conditions. Under such working conditions, a smaller specific contact resistance is required to reduce conduction loss. In addition, the high temperature and high pressure environment will accelerate the aging of the contact, causing the specific contact resistance to increase or even damage the device and make it unable to work. Therefore, a good ohmic contact needs to take into account both the specific contact resistance and the contact reliability. At present, it is difficult to achieve good contact characteristics and reliability at the same time by changing the components and process conditions of the contact metal. The two often restrict each other in terms of process. In addition, it currently mainly relies on adding additional heat dissipation structures to dissipate heat, and does not change the materials and structures of the MOSFET itself. This approach not only increases the process difficulty and cost, but is also not conducive to the high integration development of SiC MOSFET. The additional heat dissipation structure also increases the risk of failure and reduces the overall reliability. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a SiC MOSFET device and a preparation method thereof to improve the above defects. Summary of the invention

[0027] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a SiC MOSFET device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. A SiC MOSFET device provided by the present invention includes:
[0029] Substrate 10;
[0030] The epitaxial layer 20 is located on the first surface of the substrate 10;
[0031] The first graphene layer 30 is located on the surface of the epitaxial layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10, and two first graphene layers 30 are arranged at intervals along a direction D1 parallel to the substrate;
[0032] The source electrode 40 is located on the surface of the first graphene layer 30 facing away from the substrate 10. Two source electrodes 40 are arranged at intervals along a direction D1 parallel to the substrate. Along a direction D2 perpendicular to the substrate, the orthographic projection of the source electrode 40 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first graphene layer 30.
[0033] The second graphene layer 50 is located on the second surface of the substrate 10; wherein the first surface and the second surface of the substrate 10 are arranged opposite to each other;
[0034] a drain electrode 60 , located on a surface of the second graphene layer 50 facing away from the substrate 10 ;
[0035] The gate dielectric layer 70 is located on the surface of the epitaxial layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10 and between the two source electrodes 40;
[0036] The gate 80 is located on the surface of the gate dielectric layer 70 facing away from the substrate 10 .
[0037] For more details, please see Figure 1In this embodiment, a SiC MOSFET device is provided, which is stacked with a substrate 10 and an epitaxial layer 20, a source 40 and a gate 80 are arranged on the epitaxial layer 20, and a drain 60 is arranged on the back of the substrate 10. SiCMOSFET plays an important role in new energy vehicle motors, solar inverters, high-voltage transmission and other occasions due to its high power density and low on-resistance. Although SiC chips can work at high temperatures, the materials (such as electrode materials) supporting them cannot withstand such high temperatures, thereby limiting the application of the device. In addition, the large on-resistance under high power will reduce the working efficiency of the system; therefore, in this embodiment, a metal / graphene / SiC electrode is provided, that is, in addition to a layer of metal, a layer of graphene is also included in the source 40 and the drain 60.
[0038] On the one hand, considering that the port electrode of SiC MOSFET in the prior art adopts the ohmic contact form, the conventional ohmic contact has specific requirements on the doping concentration of the substrate and requires careful selection of the metal system and metal composition; in addition, in order to form an ohmic contact, most processes require an annealing temperature of 950°C or above, while the contact metal of the metal / graphene / SiC structure used in this embodiment has a relatively simple and single structure, and the annealing temperature for achieving ohmic contact is relatively low, and even under certain conditions, ohmic contact can be formed without annealing. Under appropriate conditions, the specific contact resistance can reach 10 -6 Ω·cm 2 , which simplifies the process steps and reduces the process costs to a certain extent.
[0039] On the other hand, SiC MOSFET is often used under high power conditions, and its high thermal stability has always been a research focus. Currently, mainstream Si-based devices introduce cooling systems to ensure thermal stability. This method not only increases the complexity and volume power consumption of the system, but also reduces reliability. The good thermal conductivity inherent in graphene in the metal / graphene / SiC structure provided in this embodiment can improve the heat dissipation performance at the contact point and improve the thermal stability of the device.
[0040] On the other hand, at submicron size, when faced with high current density, high field strength and high temperature conditions, the diffusion or electromigration of the contact metal to the semiconductor becomes a serious problem; under the stress of high current density, the junction temperature will rise rapidly, causing electromigration of the contact metal, thereby destroying the original flat contact morphology, generating peaks, voids and other phenomena, thereby reducing the contact area and increasing the on-resistance. This embodiment introduces graphene at the SiC-Metal interface. Compared with the step-like morphology of the SiC surface, graphene is flatter and denser, and can effectively improve electromigration under high current density.
[0041] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, two P-type well regions 90 arranged at intervals are provided on the side of the epitaxial layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10, and an N+ region 100 is provided on the side of each P-type well region 90 facing away from the substrate 10, and both the P-type well region 90 and the N+ region 100 are provided in the epitaxial layer 20;
[0042] Along a direction D2 perpendicular to the substrate, the orthographic projection of the first graphene layer 30 overlaps with both the orthographic projection of the P-type well region 90 and the orthographic projection of the N+ region 100 .
[0043] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, along a direction D2 perpendicular to the substrate, the first graphene layer 30 and the second graphene layer 50 have the same thickness, and both the first graphene layer 30 and the second graphene layer 50 include multiple graphene layers, and the thickness of a single graphene layer is 0.33 to 0.35 nm.
[0044] Specifically, the metal / graphene electrode provided in this embodiment achieves good heat dissipation at the contact point through the excellent thermal conductivity of graphene. If a heat dissipation structure is added on this basis, the thermal reliability of the device can be further improved.
[0045] Optionally, the first graphene layer 30 and the second graphene layer 50 both include 1 to 5 graphene layers. As the number of graphene layers increases, the thickness of the first graphene layer 30 and the second graphene layer 50 increases, the number of carriers increases, the resistivity decreases, and the bandgap width of the device is improved, see Table 1.

[0101] Raise the temperature to 1200-1250°C under low vacuum and maintain for 9-11 minutes.
[0102] Finally, graphene is grown epitaxially;
[0103] The epitaxial growth temperature is 1650°C, and the heating is as uniform as possible to prevent the generation of temperature gradients. The heating rate is as fast as possible, and high-purity argon gas is introduced at 850-950 mbar;

Optionally, in this embodiment, the number of epitaxially grown graphene layers is determined according to actual needs, and can be 1 to 5 layers.
[0105] It should be noted that single-layer graphene can also be prepared by transfer plus annealing.
[0106] S104 , sputtering metal on the first graphene layer 30 to form a source electrode 40 , and sputtering metal along a direction D1 parallel to the substrate to form two source electrodes 40 arranged at intervals.
[0107] S105 , sputtering metal on the second graphene layer 50 to form a drain electrode 60 .
[0108] Specifically, metal is sputtered on the single-layer silicon carbide-based epitaxial graphene layer on the surface of the epitaxial layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10 to form a first metal layer, and metal is sputtered on the single-layer silicon carbide-based epitaxial graphene layer on the second surface of the substrate 10 to form a second metal layer, i.e., the drain 60;
[0109] Coating photoresist on the surface of the first metal layer facing away from the substrate 10, and coating photoresist on the surface of the second metal layer facing away from the substrate 10;
[0110] Patterning the photoresist coated on the first metal layer, wet etching the first metal to form a source electrode 40, and etching the single-layer silicon carbide-based epitaxial graphene layer on the surface of the epitaxial layer 20 away from the substrate 10 by oxygen plasma to form a first graphene layer 30;

[0113] S106, forming a gate dielectric layer 70 on the surface of the epitaxial layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10 and between the two source electrodes 40;
[0114] S107 , preparing a gate 80 on the gate dielectric layer 70 .
[0115] Specifically, PECVD is used to deposit gate oxide, and then photoresist is applied and exposed to etch away excess silicon oxide. Then, photoresist is applied and exposed again to pattern polysilicon, and then polysilicon is deposited and peeled off to form the gate 80 .
[0116] In this embodiment, a positive source-drain voltage VDS is applied between the drain 60 and the source 40, and a positive voltage VGS is applied between the gate 80 and the source 40, and electrons are attracted to the P-type semiconductor region to form an N-type channel. The current flows from the drain 60 to the source through the channel, reducing the relative contact resistance between the drain 60 and the source 40, and further increasing the saturation current of the drain 60. For the source-drain electrode, SiC epitaxial graphene, due to the high surface state concentration at the contact interface, the height of the contact barrier is pinned by the high-density surface state, and part of the barrier height falls inside the semiconductor, and does not completely depend on the work function of the metal. The carrier concentration at the interface is very high, and electrons and holes are transported by recombination, so that the forward and reverse recombination currents are very large, which destroys the Schottky barrier formed by the contact between graphene and SiC, thereby forming and reducing the contact resistance of the SiC ohmic contact. On the other hand, graphene contacts the SiC substrate 10, and the narrow-bandgap semiconductor and the wide-bandgap semiconductor form a gradual heterojunction, which itself reduces the contact barrier, thereby promoting the formation of ohmic contact and reducing the specific contact resistance. In addition, graphene has high thermal conductivity and can dissipate the heat generated by the device to the environment in a timely manner.
[0117] In summary, the present invention provides a SiC MOSFET device and a preparation method thereof, wherein the source and drain electrodes include a graphene layer. On the one hand, the device has low contact resistance and high thermal stability, and utilizes the flat, dense and uniform characteristics of graphene, which can effectively prevent the penetration of large atoms and molecules and improve the device's resistance to electromigration. On the other hand, due to the contact resistance of the source and drain electrodes and the high mobility of graphene, the on-current is improved compared to the traditional structure, and the good heat dissipation of such electrodes is beneficial to the integration and packaging of the device. In addition, the good thermal conductivity of graphene makes the device more thermally stable, reduces the design requirements and difficulty of the heat dissipation structure, and is beneficial to improving the integration of SiC MOSFET.
