Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a MOS device and a method for preparing the MOS device. Background Art
[0002] Silicon-based IGBTs dominate high-voltage and high-current scenarios, but they cannot withstand high-frequency conditions and have high power consumption. SiC's high-voltage and high-temperature resistance allows it to cover the voltage resistance level of silicon-based IGBTs with only simpler MOSFET devices, while avoiding its high energy consumption disadvantages. Under the same environment, silicon carbide-based MOSFETs reduce energy losses by 66% compared to silicon-based IGBTs of the same specifications, mainly due to a significant reduction in switching losses. In the new energy vehicle industry, SiC can be used to drive and control inverters, on-board chargers, and fast charging piles for motors. In photovoltaic power generation, leading photovoltaic inverter companies have currently adopted SiC power devices to replace silicon devices.
[0003] SiC MOSFET mainly acts as an electronic switch in power electronic systems. When MOSFET is in the off state, there will be a reverse leakage current between the drain and the source. If a diode is not added in reverse parallel, this leakage current may cause damage to other devices in the circuit. In addition, when SiC MOSFET is used for rectification of AC circuits, since MOSFET can only be turned on under forward voltage, an anti-parallel diode is required to provide a conduction channel under reverse voltage to achieve current rectification. Therefore, it is usually necessary to anti-parallel or integrate a diode in the body of SiC MOSFET to improve the performance of the SiC MOSFET body diode, thereby improving the working efficiency of SiC MOSFET. However, the external anti-parallel diode will increase the circuit space occupied, increase the packaging cost of the device, and introduce parasitic capacitance and parasitic inductance, resulting in slow response speed of the reverse diode, poor reliability and other problems. The internal integrated heterojunction Schottky diode (Schottky Barrier Diode, referred to as SBD) has a too high turn-on voltage (2.7-3.0V), and it is difficult to play the role of freewheeling protection MOSFET under reverse bias. Both methods will take up extra area. The reverse leakage of the integrated Schottky diode device is large, and even the reverse breakdown voltage of the MOSFET will be affected when the SBD area is too large. In addition, the Schottky diode's own voltage drop is too large at high currents, which will cause the voltage drop loss on the Schottky diode to be very large when the freewheeling current is large. When the SiC MOS device is in the off state, there will be a reverse leakage current between the drain and the source. If the freewheeling channel is not added, this leakage current may cause damage to other devices in the circuit. Summary of the invention

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0032] As described in the background technology, in the prior art, when the SiC MOS device is in the cut-off state, there will be a reverse leakage current between the drain and the source. If a freewheeling channel is not added, this leakage current may cause damage to other devices in the circuit. The present application provides a MOS device and a method for preparing a MOS device.
[0033] According to one aspect of the present application, a MOS device is provided, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, it includes a plurality of cells 1, the cell 1 includes a substrate 10 and a drift layer 20 located on one side of the substrate 10, the drift layer 20 has a first surface 201 away from the substrate 10, and the cell 1 also includes: a plurality of source region structures 30, the plurality of source region structures 30 are arranged at intervals along a first direction A, two adjacent source region structures 30 have a first side surface 301 close to each other and two second side surfaces 302 away from each other in the first direction A, wherein the area between the two adjacent second side surfaces 302 is a drift region 202, the drift region 202 is a partial area in the drift layer 20, and the first direction A is parallel to the first surface 201; a plurality of gate structures 40, the gate structure 40 is located on the side of the drift region 202 away from the substrate 10, and the gate structure 40 is in contact with the source region structures 30 located on both sides of the drift region 202 respectively; at least one source trench structure 50, the source trench structure 5 0 is located between two adjacent first side surfaces 301 and is in contact with the source region structure 30. The source trench structure 50 includes a first gate 51, a second gate 52, a first dielectric layer 53 and a second dielectric layer 54. The first gate 51 and the second gate 52 are spaced apart along a first direction A. The first dielectric layer 53 is located between the first gate 51 and the second gate 52. The first gate 51, the second gate 52 and the first dielectric layer 53 constitute a first structure. The second dielectric layer 54 is respectively located on the side and bottom of the first structure and is in contact with the source region structure 30 and the drift layer 20. The first dielectric layer 53 at least includes a first material layer 531 and a second material layer 532 which are stacked in sequence along a second direction B. The dielectric constant of the material of the first material layer 531 is greater than the dielectric constant of the material of the second material layer 532. The second direction B is a direction from the substrate 10 to the source region structure 30.
[0034] In the above MOS device, a source trench structure is formed between the first side surfaces of the two source regions, a first gate and a second gate in the source trench structure are arranged at intervals, and a first dielectric layer is provided between the first gate and the second gate, so that the source trench structure has a structure similar to a split gate. When the MOS device is in a forward state, the source trench structure and the source structure work together to reduce lateral leakage; when the MOS device is in a reverse state, the first gate and the second gate will respectively induce an annular inversion layer with the nearby source structure around the source trench structure, thereby forming a freewheeling channel for current to flow from the source to the drain. However, the source trench structure will result in a large coupling area between the source and the drain, increase the feedback capacitance and source charge of the device, and reduce the switching speed of the device. The first dielectric layer between the first gate and the second gate has a first material layer and a second material layer. The dielectric constant of the first material layer is greater than the dielectric constant of the second material layer. The smaller the dielectric constant, the smaller the polarization charge, and the weaker the ability of the material to affect the electric field. The second material layer has a smaller dielectric constant, which can shield the coupling area between the source and the drain, reduce the feedback capacitance and source charge of the device, increase the switching speed of the device and reduce the power consumption of the device. The first material layer is located at the bottom of the first dielectric layer, which can protect the second material layer from breakdown, increase the breakdown resistance at the bottom of the source trench structure, and thereby improve the overall performance of the device.
[0035] Among them, the depth of the source trench structure is 0.8μm~1.5μm, the width is 0.15μm~1.3μm, and the thickness of the second dielectric layer is 0.03μm~0.08μm. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable selections according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific limitations.
[0036] In the above embodiment, the substrate and the drift layer have the same doping type, and the resistivity of the substrate is 0.016-0.24Ωcm; the drift layer is the main breakdown layer of the device, and its doping concentration is 1.0×10 15 cm -3 ~1.0×10 16 cm -3 The thickness of the drift layer can be selected according to product requirements. For example, the thickness of the drift layer of a 1200V MOS device is 9 μm to 11 μm, and the thickness of the drift layer of a 650V MOS device is 5 μm to 7 μm.
[0037] In the above embodiment, if Figures 1 to 5As shown, the source region structure 30 includes a body region 31 and a first doping region 32, the side of the first doping region 32 away from the drift region 202 is located in the first side 301, the body region 31 is located on the side of the first doping region 32 close to the substrate 10 and the body region 31 is located on the side of the first doping region 32 close to the drift region 202, and the gate structure 40 is in contact with the body region 31, wherein the doping type of the body region 31 is different from that of the first doping region 32, the first doping region 32 has the same doping type as the drift layer 20, and the doping concentration of the first doping region 32 is greater than the doping concentration of the body region 31. The magnitude of the gate voltage applied to the gate structure 40 can control the formation of a current channel in the body region 31 region in contact with the gate structure 40, and when the MOS device works normally, that is, when a current is applied to the source, a current channel is formed in the body region 31 region in contact with the source trench structure 50, thereby forming a freewheeling channel for current to flow from the source to the drain.
[0038] Specifically, the depth of the body region is 0.7 μm to 0.8 μm, and its doping concentration is 5.0×10 16 cm -3 ~1.5×10 17 cm -3 The depth of the first doping layer is 0.2 μm to 0.3 μm, and its doping concentration is 1.0×10 19 cm -3 ~1.0×10 20 cm -3 , technical personnel in this field can make adjustments according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific limitations.
[0039] In the above embodiment, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the gate structure 40 includes a third gate 41 and a second gate oxide layer 42 . The second gate oxide layer 42 is located on a side of the third gate 41 close to the substrate 10 . The third gate 41 contacts the gate electrode 61 . Furthermore, the third gate 41 and the gate electrode 61 are covered by the gate dielectric layer 62 .
[0040] Specifically, by applying a gate voltage to the third electrode, a current channel is controlled to be formed in the body region in contact with the gate structure. When the gate voltage is greater than a threshold value, the current channel in the body region is opened to form a current channel. When the gate voltage is less than the threshold value, no current is formed in the body region. At this time, no current is formed in the body region, and the gate structure forms a planar MOS structure, wherein the thickness of the gate dielectric layer is 600nm to 1000nm.
[0041] In some optional embodiments, the material of the first material layer includes a high-K material, and the material of the second material layer includes a low-K material.
[0042] Specifically, high-K material, i.e., high dielectric constant material, refers to a material with a higher dielectric constant than silicon dioxide. The dielectric constant of silicon dioxide is about 3.9, so a material with a dielectric constant greater than 3.9 is a high-K material. High-K material has a higher charge storage capacity, which means that under the same electric field, high-K material can store more charge, and high-K material has a lower leakage current and a higher breakdown voltage, which helps to improve the performance of the device. Low-K material, i.e., low dielectric constant material, refers to a material with a smaller dielectric constant, and the dielectric constant of low-K material is usually less than 3.0. Low-K material has a lower capacitance effect and leakage current, which can reduce the power consumption and heat generation of the circuit. The second material layer is a low-K material, which has a lower capacitance effect, can effectively reduce the feedback capacitance and source charge of the device, increase the switching speed of the device and reduce the power consumption of the device. The first material layer is a high-K material, which reduces the leakage current while improving the breakdown resistance. In addition, the low-K material has a multi-void structure, and the first gate and the second gate materials are mostly made of doped polysilicon materials. The doping elements in the polysilicon material are easy to diffuse, and the diffusion into the void structure of the low-K material causes the second material layer to have the layer degeneration of the capacitor dielectric. The first material layer composed of high-K material is located at the bottom of the first dielectric layer, which can play a good blocking role.
[0043] Among them, low-K materials include fluorosilicate glass FSG, porous organosilicate glass P-OSG, fluorinated polyimide, benzocyclobutene BCB, etc., and high-K materials can be selected from one or more of HfO2, TiO2, HfZrO, HfSiNO, Ta2O5, ZrO2, ZrSiO2, Al2O3, La2O3, Y2O3, SrTiO3 and BaSrTiO. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable selections according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific limitations.
[0044] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first dielectric layer 53 further includes a third material layer 533 . The third material layer 533 is located on a side of the second material layer 532 away from the first material layer 531 . The material of the third material layer 533 includes an insulating material with waterproof performance.
[0045] Specifically, when the second material layer has a lower dielectric constant, the material with a lower dielectric constant, especially the low-K material, has a void structure or has a hydrophilic group in the chemical cost, which makes it easy to absorb water, and will cause the second material layer to absorb water and deform during the subsequent manufacturing process. When the second material layer absorbs water and deforms, it will affect the strength and adhesion of the second material layer, reduce the stability and reliability of the device, and the low-K material after absorbing water will reduce its capacitance effect and durability, affecting the overall performance of the device. A layer of insulating material with waterproof properties, such as Si3N4, is formed above the second material layer to effectively protect the second material layer and prevent the second material layer from being affected by water in subsequent processes and causing water absorption and deformation. The thickness of the third material layer is 0.1μm to 0.6μm, and the specific thickness is not limited in this application.
[0046] Among them, in addition to the above-mentioned Si3N4, the materials of the third material layer also include one or more materials of metal oxides (such as aluminum oxide), polymer materials (such as polyimide, polyparaxylene and epoxy resin), hydrophobic materials (such as fluorinated polymers), carbon-based materials (such as graphene), and inorganic films (such as tantalum nitride, titanium nitride and silicon nitride oxide). This application does not limit this. These materials mainly have low moisture permeability and good chemical stability, and can also effectively prevent material performance changes or corrosion caused by moisture.
[0047] In some optional embodiments, the first material layer has a first thickness in the second direction, the second material layer has a second thickness in the second direction, and the first thickness is less than the second thickness.
[0048] Specifically, in the first dielectric layer, the first material layer located on the upper layer has the function of reducing the feedback capacitance and source charge of the device, improving the switching speed of the device and reducing the power consumption of the device. The second material layer located on the lower layer plays a role in protecting the second material layer from breakdown and increasing the breakdown resistance of the bottom of the source trench structure. Therefore, by increasing the thickness of the first material layer and reducing the thickness of the second material layer, while not affecting the forward operation of the source trench structure to reduce lateral leakage and reverse operation to form a freewheeling channel for current flowing from the source to the drain, the function of the second material layer in shielding the coupling area of the source and the drain is enhanced, thereby further reducing the feedback capacitance and source charge of the device, improving the switching speed of the device and reducing the power consumption of the device.
[0049] The thickness of the first material layer is 0.02 μm to 0.1 μm, and the thickness of the second material layer is 0.7 μm to 1 μm. The specific thickness is not limited in this application.
[0050] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second dielectric layer 54 includes a fourth material layer 541 and a first gate oxide layer 542 which are stacked, the first gate oxide layer 542 is respectively located on the side and bottom of the first structure in contact with the drift layer 20, and the fourth material layer 541 is located above and inside the first gate oxide layer 542, wherein the material of the fourth material layer 541 includes a high-K material.
[0051] Specifically, the high-K material has a higher dielectric constant. If the first dielectric layer of the source trench structure adopts a high-K material, the control of the channel charge can be enhanced, the control accuracy of the gate voltage on the channel current can be improved, and the gate voltage requirement can be reduced to achieve the same electric field strength. At the same time, the high-K material can help to more evenly distribute the electric field around the trench, reduce the electric field concentration, and thus improve the voltage resistance of the device. However, the interface state density between the high-K material and the drift layer material is relatively large. If the first dielectric layer only adopts a high-K material, while the high-K material can enhance the voltage resistance of the device, it will also weaken the carrier mobility in the MOS device and affect the forward conduction characteristics of the device. In the above embodiment, there is a first gate oxide layer and a fourth material layer in the second dielectric layer, and the material of the fourth material layer is a high-K material. There is a first gate oxide layer between the fourth material layer formed by the high-K material and the drift layer, wherein the interface state density between the first gate oxide layer and the drift layer is relatively small, and will not affect the carrier mobility in the MOS device. Therefore, the inner high-K material constituting the fourth material layer can improve the voltage resistance of the device, while the outer first gate oxide layer will not affect the carrier mobility in the MOS device, thereby improving the voltage resistance performance at the bottom of the source trench structure.
[0052] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the MOS device further includes: a shielding region 70, which is located on a side of the source trench structure 50 close to the substrate 10, and the shielding region 70 and the drift layer 20 have different doping types, wherein the shielding region 70 has a plurality of sub-shielding regions 71 arranged at intervals along the first direction A.
[0053] Specifically, the electric field concentration at the corners of the source trench structure causes the second dielectric layer to be broken down, causing the device to break down at a voltage lower than the rated breakdown voltage, seriously affecting the forward blocking characteristics and long-term reliability of the device. By implanting a shielding area at the bottom of the source trench structure, the electric field distribution at the bottom of the source trench can be effectively improved, and the electric field concentration can be reduced, especially at the corners. This can significantly enhance the device's ability to resist breakdown, allowing the device to operate normally at a higher voltage without early breakdown, and also improves the long-term operating reliability of the device. When the MOS device is in a reverse biased state, the shielding area can act as a freewheeling channel by inducing a ring-shaped inversion layer in the body region, allowing current to flow from the source to the drain under control, thereby avoiding unnecessary leakage current and reducing the power consumption of the device.
[0054] In some specific implementations, the shielding region is composed of a plurality of sub-shielding regions, and the sub-shielding regions are floating, that is, they are not in contact with the source trench structure.
[0055] Specifically, multiple sub-shielding areas help improve device thermal management. Multiple sub-shielding areas can serve as multiple thermal barriers to reduce heat transfer between the source and drain, reduce heat accumulation in the device in high-frequency, high-current applications, and improve thermal stability. The floating sub-shielding area is electrically isolated from the source trench structure, which can reduce the concentration of the electric field in the source trench structure, especially avoid the high electric field strength at the bottom of the source trench, and reduce the risk of oxide layer breakdown. When the MOS device is under forward or reverse bias conditions, the floating sub-shielding area can dynamically sense and control the distribution of charges, thereby forming a more uniform electric field, reducing the loss of charge carriers, and reducing the power consumption of the device. If the sub-shielding area is in contact with the source trench structure, it will cause the device to form an additional charge dissipation path in the forward blocking state, thereby forming unnecessary leakage current. The floating sub-shielding area can avoid the above situation and ensure good charge control in the cut-off state. Even if the device is under non-ideal working conditions (such as extreme temperature, high-voltage environment), it can have good anti-interference and self-protection capabilities, thereby improving the robustness and adaptability of the device.
[0056] In some optional embodiments, there is a first spacing between any two adjacent sub-shielding areas in the first direction, and there are m sub-shielding areas along the first direction, wherein: m is an even number, and the first spacing between the m / 2th sub-shielding area and the (m / 2)+1th sub-shielding area in the first direction is greater than the remaining first spacings; m is an odd number, and the first spacing between the (m-1) / 2th sub-shielding area and the (m+1) / 2th sub-shielding area in the first direction is greater than the remaining first spacings, and / or the first spacing between the (m+1) / 2th sub-shielding area and the (m+3) / 2th sub-shielding area is greater than the remaining first spacings.
[0057] In the above embodiment, in the first direction, the first spacing between the sub-shielding areas in the middle is greater than the first spacing between the sub-shielding areas on both sides. Exemplarily, the first direction has an even number m of sub-shielding areas, m is 4, then the first spacing between the 2nd sub-shielding area and the 3rd sub-shielding area is greater than the first spacing between the 1st sub-shielding area and the 2nd sub-shielding area, and at the same time, the first spacing between the 2nd sub-shielding area and the 3rd sub-shielding area is greater than the first spacing between the 3rd sub-shielding area and the 4th sub-shielding area. In another example, the first direction has an odd number m of sub-shielding areas, m is 5, then the first spacing between the 2nd sub-shielding area and the 3rd sub-shielding area is greater than the first spacing between the other sub-shielding areas, or the first spacing between the 3rd sub-shielding area and the 4th sub-shielding area is greater than the first spacing between the other sub-shielding areas, or the first spacing between the 2nd sub-shielding area and the 3rd sub-shielding area is equal to the first spacing between the 3rd sub-shielding area and the 4th sub-shielding area, and is greater than the first spacing between the other sub-shielding areas.
[0058] Specifically, the denser the sub-shielding areas are, the better the improvement effect on the electric field distribution is. By adjusting the spacing of multiple sub-shielding areas, the spacing of the sub-shielding areas on both sides is smaller than the spacing of the sub-shielding areas in the middle. The dense sub-shielding areas on both sides more effectively disperse the electric field strength at the corners of the source trench structure, reduce the concentration of the electric field, and thus significantly improve the breakdown voltage of the device, enhance the forward blocking characteristics and long-term reliability of the device. In addition, the dense sub-shielding areas located below the corners of the source trench structure help to form a more effective heat dissipation path at the edge of the trench, help to quickly dissipate heat energy, reduce hot spots, and improve the thermal stability of the device, especially under high current and high frequency working conditions, which can significantly improve the durability and reliability of the device.
[0059] The doping concentration of the sub-shielding region is greater than the doping concentration of the drift layer. Specifically, the doping concentration of the sub-shielding region is 5.0×10 18 cm -3 ~1.5×10 19 cm -3 , the injection depth of the sub-shielding area is 0.9μm to 1.8μm, the length of the sub-shielding area along the first direction is 0.3μm to 0.6μm, the width of the sub-shielding area along the second direction is 0.3μm to 0.6μm, the adjacent first spacing is 0.2μm to 0.5μm, and the distance between the sub-shielding area and the bottom surface of the upper source trench structure is 0.2μm to 1μm. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate selections according to the performance of the product, and this application does not make specific limitations.
[0060] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the MOS device also includes: a first conductive layer 81, which is located at least on the side of the source trench structure 50 away from the substrate and contacts the first gate 51, the second gate 52, the first dielectric layer 53 and the second dielectric layer 54 respectively, and is connected to the source region structure 30.
[0061] Specifically, the first conductive layer is the source electrode of the MOS device, the first conductive layer contacts the first gate and the second gate in the source trench structure, and forms a connection with the source region. When the MOS device is reversely conducted, the first gate and the second gate in contact with the first conductive layer respectively induce an inversion layer with the body region in the source region structure on both sides, forming a conductive channel from the drift layer to the body region and the first doped region in the source region structure and then to the first conductive layer, that is, forming a freewheeling channel for current to flow from the source to the drain, playing a role of reverse freewheeling, and the current channel is as follows: Figure 4 When the MOS device is forward-conducting, a freewheeling channel for current to flow from the source to the drain is formed in the body region in contact with the gate structure. The current channel is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 In the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, the first conductive layer is connected to a negative potential, and the first gate and the second gate can adjust the electric field of the source trench structure, so that the electric field becomes stronger in the vertical direction, while the electric field in the lateral direction is weakened, and the charge carriers are restricted to move in the vertical direction, thereby reducing lateral leakage.
[0062] In addition, the electric field concentration at the corners of the source trench structure causes the thin oxide dielectric layer to break down, causing the device to break down at a voltage lower than the rated breakdown voltage, seriously affecting the forward blocking characteristics and long-term reliability of the device. A floating sub-shielding area is implanted at the bottom of the source trench. The floating sub-shielding area is designed to have a small edge spacing and a large middle spacing, which can better reduce the electric field concentration at the bottom of the source trench, enhance the anti-breakdown property, and thus improve the reliability of the device. In addition, the use of a trench split-gate structure under the source can also shield the coupling area between the source and the drain, greatly reducing the feedback capacitance and source charge of the device, and improving the switching speed of the device.
[0063] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the MOS device further includes: a second conductive layer 82, which is located on a side of the substrate 10 away from the drift layer 20, so as to serve as a drain electrode of the device.
[0064] In order to reduce the on-resistance of the device, in some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an ohmic metal layer 811 is formed between the source region structure 30 and the first conductive layer 81. The ohmic metal layer 811 forms an ohmic contact with the first doped region 32. The ohmic contact has a lower on-resistance to reduce the on-resistance of the MOS device. The material of the ohmic metal layer 811 includes Ni, Ti and other materials.
[0065] According to another aspect of the present application, a method for preparing a MOS device is provided, which is used to prepare any MOS device, such as Figure 6 As shown, the MOS device includes a plurality of cells, and the preparation method includes:
[0066] Step S101: providing a substrate;
[0067] Step S102: forming a drift layer on one side of the substrate, wherein the drift layer has a first surface facing away from the substrate;
[0068] Step S103: forming a plurality of source region structures in the drift layer, wherein the plurality of source region structures are spaced apart along a first direction, wherein two adjacent source region structures have first side surfaces close to each other and second side surfaces away from each other, wherein an area between two adjacent second side surfaces is a drift region, and the drift region is a partial area in the drift layer, and the first direction is parallel to the first surface;
[0069] Step S104: forming a first trench between two adjacent source region structures, wherein the sidewall of the first trench exposes the first side surface of the source region structure, and forming a source trench structure in the first trench, wherein the source trench structure comprises a first gate, a second gate, a first dielectric layer, and a second dielectric layer, wherein the first gate and the second gate are spaced apart along a first direction, the first dielectric layer is located between the first gate and the second gate, the first gate, the second gate, and the first dielectric layer constitute a first structure, and the second dielectric layer is respectively located on the side surface and the bottom surface of the first structure and contacts the source region structure and the drift layer, wherein the second dielectric layer comprises at least a first material layer and a second material layer stacked in sequence along a second direction, the dielectric constant of the material of the first material layer is greater than the dielectric constant of the material of the second material layer, and the second direction is a direction from the substrate to the source region structure;
[0070] Step S105: forming a plurality of gate structures on a side of the drift region away from the substrate, and the gate structures are in contact with the source region structures located on both sides of the drift region respectively.
[0071] By adopting the above-mentioned preparation method of the embodiment of the present application, a first groove is formed between the first side surfaces of the two source regions, and a source groove structure is formed in the first groove. The first gate and the second gate in the source groove structure are arranged at intervals, and a first dielectric layer is provided between the first gate and the second gate, so that the source groove structure has a structure similar to a split gate. When the MOS device is in the forward state, the source groove structure and the source structure work together to reduce lateral leakage; when the MOS device is in the reverse state, the first gate and the second gate will respectively induce an annular inversion layer with the nearby source structure around the source groove structure, thereby forming a freewheeling channel for current to flow from the source to the drain. However, the source trench structure will result in a large coupling area between the source and the drain, increase the feedback capacitance and source charge of the device, and reduce the switching speed of the device. The first dielectric layer between the first gate and the second gate has a first material layer and a second material layer. The dielectric constant of the first material layer is greater than the dielectric constant of the second material layer. The smaller the dielectric constant, the smaller the polarization charge, and the weaker the ability of the material to affect the electric field. The second material layer has a smaller dielectric constant, which can shield the coupling area between the source and the drain, reduce the feedback capacitance and source charge of the device, increase the switching speed of the device and reduce the power consumption of the device. The first material layer is located at the bottom of the first dielectric layer, which can protect the second material layer from breakdown, increase the breakdown resistance at the bottom of the source trench structure, and thereby improve the overall performance of the device.
[0072] The following will describe in more detail the exemplary embodiments of the method for preparing a power device provided by the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0073] First, proceed to step S101: Figure 7 As shown in (a), a substrate 10 is provided.
[0074] Specifically, the substrate material includes but is not limited to silicon, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium oxide, aluminum oxide and aluminum nitride and other materials. Personnel in this field can make reasonable selections based on actual needs and no specific limitation is made without application.
[0075] After the step of providing the substrate, step S102 is performed; Figure 7 As shown in (b), a drift layer 20 is formed on the substrate 10.
[0076] Specifically, the drift layer material may include silicon, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium oxide, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride and other materials. Personnel in the art may make reasonable selections according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made without application. Exemplarily, the drift layer material is silicon carbide material to solve the problem that the performance advantage of SiC diode devices is not obvious in some parameters.
[0077] In some optional embodiments, the process of forming the drift layer includes but is not limited to a deposition process and an epitaxial growth process. In the epitaxial growth process, the doping concentration of the impurities is relatively easy to control, and the activation rate is relatively fixed, and the target doping distribution is easy to achieve. It is not only applicable to silicon-based power devices, but also can avoid the difficulty of injection doping of silicon carbide power devices and improve the efficiency of its terminal structure. The deposition process is relatively mature, simple to operate, and has a low cost. Among them, the deposition process includes but is not limited to physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD).

[0080] Among them, the process of forming the body region and the first doping region includes an ion implantation process. The ion implantation process does not require high temperature treatment, that is, it can achieve precise control of the concentration and depth of the implanted ions. While achieving precise doping, it can avoid damage and deformation of the material structure. In addition, the doping concentration of the first doping region is greater than the doping concentration of the body region, and the depth of the first doping region is less than the depth of the body region. The ion implantation process can accurately control the doping concentration and depth of the first doping region and the body region. In addition, the carbon-silicon bond energy in the silicon carbide material is relatively high, and impurity atoms are difficult to diffuse in the silicon carbide material. The ion implantation process is a method of adding a certain amount and type of impurities to the semiconductor material to change the electrical properties. The ion implantation process has the advantages of low injection temperature, and the doping distribution can be flexibly and accurately controlled, which can reduce the damage of high temperature to the silicon carbide material and improve the doping efficiency.

When the MOS device is in a reverse bias state, by inducing a ring-shaped inversion layer in the body region, the shielding area can act as a freewheeling channel, allowing the current to flow from the source to the drain under control, thereby avoiding unnecessary leakage current and reducing the power consumption of the device. Among them, the sub-shielding area is floating, that is, it is non-contact with the source trench structure; the doping type of the sub-shielding area is different from the doping type of the drift layer, and the doping concentration of the sub-shielding area is greater than the doping concentration of the drift layer; the process of forming the sub-shielding area 71 includes an ion implantation process.
