Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor device manufacturing, and in particular to a structure for improving a CGC capacitor of an IGBT device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor power devices are basic electronic components for energy control and conversion in power electronics systems. The continuous development of power electronics technology has opened up a wide range of application areas for semiconductor power devices. MOS-type semiconductor power devices, represented by IGBT, VDMOS, and CoolMOS, are the mainstream devices in the field of power electronics today. Among them, the most representative semiconductor power device is IGBT.

[0003] IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is a voltage-controlled MOS / BJT composite device. Structurally, the structure of IGBT is very similar to that of VDMOS, except that the N+ substrate of VDMOS is adjusted to P+ substrate. However, the conductivity modulation effect introduced overcomes the contradiction between the on-resistance and breakdown voltage inherent in VDMOS itself, so that IGBT has the main advantages of both bipolar power transistors and power MOSFETs: high input impedance, low input drive power, low on-voltage drop, large current capacity, fast switching speed, etc. It is precisely because of the unique and irreplaceable performance advantages of IGBT that it has been widely used in many fields since the launch of practical products, such as new energy technology, advanced transportation vehicles represented by motor vehicles and high-speed railways, hybrid vehicles, office automation, and household appliances. Under the demand for a resource-saving society that advocates low-carbon and environmental protection, IGBT, as a high-performance and high-efficiency switch control component, has received more attention and development, and has put forward higher requirements for safety, reliability, and intelligence.

[0004] IGBT high-speed switching operation can reduce turn-on loss, but high-speed switching operation will bring higher turn-on dv / dt. High dv / dt is a source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiation noise, which will stress the user's motor insulation. Usually, it is necessary to increase the gate resistance (R G ) to limit the turn-on dv / dt below a certain value, however, the larger R G It will reduce the switching speed of the IGBT module and lead to higher turn-on losses.
