Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing and relates to a SiC power MOS device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a third-generation semiconductor material, silicon carbide has a wider bandgap and is an ideal material for making power semiconductor devices. Silicon carbide metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (SiC MOSFET) has the characteristics of low conduction loss, fast switching speed, low switching loss, strong radiation resistance, and good high-temperature stability, and has become a next-generation power semiconductor device that has attracted much attention. Limited by the high interface state density, the channel electron mobility of silicon carbide power MOSFET is much lower than that of silicon-based devices. For SiC MOSFETs with voltage levels of 650V and 1200V, the channel resistance accounts for a large proportion. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously reduce the cell size and increase the density of the channel to reduce the proportion of the channel resistance, thereby reducing the overall on-resistance of the device. Compared with planar gate SiC MOSFET, trench gate SiC MOSFET can further increase the channel density under the same area by forming a channel in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the channel resistance, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the overall on-resistance of the device.

[0003] However, for trench gate SiC MOSFET devices, if the oxide layer at the bottom of the trench gate or the corner of the trench gate is not protected, the oxide layer electric field at these locations will exceed 3MV / cm. The high electric field strength will cause reliability problems of the gate oxide layer, especially in the high temperature reverse bias test (HTRB). At present, the more common method is to inject a heavily doped P-type region at the bottom of the trench gate to protect the oxide layer at the bottom of the trench gate, but the P-type region must be grounded, otherwise the holes in the P-type region will not be effectively replenished during the switching process, thereby affecting the on-resistance of the device. To address this problem, Infineon Technologies launched a half-wrapped trench SiC MOSFET, which injects a high-concentration P-type region into half of the bottom of the gate oxide layer to protect the gate oxide layer. In order to ground the P-type region at the bottom of the trench, high-energy ion implantation equipment is required, and the equipment is relatively expensive. Rohm has launched a dual-trench SiC MOSFET, which is divided into a source trench and a gate electrode trench. A P-type region is injected at the bottom of the source trench to prevent the gate oxide layer from being subjected to a high electric field strength through the pinch-off effect. However, an additional process is required to etch the source trench during the device manufacturing process. In addition, since the oxide layer at the bottom of the gate electrode is not directly protected by the P-type region, the long-term reliability of the gate oxide layer also faces huge challenges.

[0004] In addition, due to the wide bandgap of SiC itself, the turn-on voltage of its PN junction diode is about 2.6V, which is much higher than the turn-on voltage of 0.7V of silicon-based PN. This will cause the power consumption of SiC MOSFET in the half-bridge mode drive circuit to be high during the dead time. And because the PN junction is bipolar conductive, a large number of unbalanced carriers will be injected during its conduction process. These carriers will cause large reverse recovery losses during reverse recovery.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a method for preparing a SiC power MOS device that can improve the reliability of the gate dielectric layer of the SiC power MOS device and reduce the reverse recovery loss of the device. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a SiC power MOS device and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems of poor gate dielectric layer reliability and large reverse recovery loss of the SiC power MOS device in the prior art.

[0075] See also Figures 2 to 4 , perform step S1 and step S2: provide a first conductive type semiconductor layer 1 including a substrate 11, a drift region 12 and a current transfer layer 13 stacked in sequence, and form a second conductive type body region 14 on the upper surface of the current transfer layer 13; form a plurality of second conductive type contact regions 15 spaced apart in the body region 14 and a first conductive type source region 16 located on the upper surface of the body region 14, the contact region 15 is adjacent to the source region 16 above the contact region 15 and is spaced from the lower surface of the body region 14 by a preset distance.

[0076] Specifically, the first conductivity type includes one of N type or P type, the second conductivity type includes one of N type or P type, and the first conductivity type is opposite to the second conductivity type. In this embodiment, the first conductivity type is N type, and the second conductivity type is P type.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the semiconductor layer 1 , wherein the material of the semiconductor layer 1 includes silicon carbide or other suitable semiconductor materials. In this embodiment, a silicon carbide layer is used as the semiconductor layer 1 .

[0078] Specifically, the current transport layer 13 may be formed by epitaxial growth on the upper surface of the drift region 12 or by ion implantation on the upper surface of the drift region 12. In this embodiment, the current transport layer 13 is formed by epitaxial growth on the upper surface of the drift region 12.

[0079] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, they are respectively a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure after the body region 14 is formed and a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure after the source region 16 and the contact region 15 are formed. The method of forming the body region 14 includes ion implantation or other suitable methods; the method of forming the contact region 15 includes ion implantation or other suitable methods; the method of forming the source region 16 includes ion implantation or other suitable methods.

[0080] Specifically, after the body region 14 is formed, the contact region 15 may be formed on the upper surface of the body region 14 first, and then the source region 16 located on the upper surface of the body region 14 may be formed. During the process of forming the source region 16, the region where the source region 16 and the contact region 15 overlap forms an inversion region. Alternatively, the source region 16 may be formed first, and then the contact region 15 may be formed by ion implantation with higher energy.

[0081] Specifically, the doping concentration of the body region 14 is lower than the doping concentration of the contact region 15. Under the condition of ensuring the performance of the device, the thickness and doping concentration of the body region 14 can be selected according to the actual situation, and are not limited here; the size, thickness and doping concentration of the contact region 15 can be selected according to the actual situation, and are not limited here; the distance between two adjacent contact regions 15 can be selected according to the actual situation, and are not limited here; the thickness and doping concentration of the source region 16 can be selected according to the actual situation, and are not limited here. The thickness here refers to the distance between the upper surface and the lower surface of each region.

[0082] Specifically, under the condition of ensuring the device performance, the distance between the lower surface of the contact region 15 and the lower surface of the body region 14 can be selected according to actual conditions, and is not limited here.

[0083] Please see again Figures 5 to 8, perform step S3 and step S4: form a plurality of grooves 2 that are spaced apart and penetrate the source region 16 and the body region 14, the contact region 15 is adjacent to a first wall (not shown) of the groove 2 and spaced apart from a second wall (not shown) of the groove 2 by a preset distance, the first wall is arranged opposite to the second wall, and the bottom surface of the groove 2 is located in the current transfer layer 13; form a second conductive type shielding layer 17 in the current transfer layer 13 at the bottom of the groove 2, and form a stacked structure 23 covering the first wall and the second wall and including a gate dielectric layer 21 and a gate conductive material layer 20 stacked in sequence, and the stacked structure 23 on the first wall and the second wall is spaced apart by a preset distance.

[0084] Specifically, Figure 5 , which is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure after the groove 2 is formed. The formation of the groove 2 includes the following steps: forming a mask layer 3 on the upper surface of the semiconductor layer 1; patterning the mask layer 3, and forming the groove 2 based on the patterned mask layer 3.

[0085] Specifically, the method of forming the mask layer 3 includes chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition or other suitable methods.

[0086] Specifically, the material of the mask layer 3 includes silicon nitride or other suitable materials that prevent the etchant from etching the semiconductor layer 1. In this embodiment, a silicon nitride layer is used as the mask layer 3.

[0087] Specifically, the method for forming the patterned mask layer 3 is a commonly used photolithography process method, which will not be described in detail here.

[0088] Specifically, the method of forming the groove 2 includes dry etching, wet etching or other suitable methods.

[0089] As an example, the second wall is the C-plane of the semiconductor layer 1, so that the conductive channel of the device is located on the surface of the second wall, and the cross-section of the conductive channel of the device is the C-plane of the semiconductor layer 1, achieving a larger channel electron mobility.

[0090] Specifically, under the condition of ensuring the device performance, the distance between the bottom surface of the groove 2 and the bottom surface of the current transport layer 13 can be selected according to actual conditions, and is not limited here.

[0091] Specifically, Figure 6, which is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure after the shielding layer 17 is formed, and the method for forming the shielding layer 17 includes ion implantation or other suitable methods. In this embodiment, Al ions are implanted into the bottom of the groove 2 based on the patterned mask layer 3 to form the shielding layer 17, and in the process of ion implantation, multiple ion implantations with different doses and energies are performed to form the shielding layer 17 with a preset doping concentration.

[0092] Specifically, after forming the shielding layer 17 and before forming the gate dielectric layer 21 , the method further includes a step of removing the mask layer 3 .

[0093] Specifically, the method of removing the mask layer 3 includes dry etching, wet etching or other suitable methods.

[0094] Specifically, the gate dielectric layer 21 is formed to cover the upper surface of the semiconductor layer 1 and the inner wall and bottom surface of the trench 2. The gate dielectric layer 21 is formed by thermal oxidation, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition or other suitable methods.

[0095] As an example, the gate dielectric layer 21 includes a buffer layer (not shown) and a gate dielectric layer (not shown) stacked in sequence. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the breakdown resistance of the device, it is necessary to form a thicker and better quality gate dielectric layer. Therefore, after removing the mask layer 3 and before forming the conductive material layer 20, the buffer layer is grown on the upper surface of the semiconductor layer 1 and the exposed surface of the groove 2 by a thermal oxidation process, and then the gate dielectric layer is formed by a thermal oxidation or deposition process to ensure the breakdown resistance of the gate dielectric layer 21.

[0096] Specifically, the material of the buffer layer includes silicon oxide or other suitable dielectric materials; the material of the gate dielectric layer includes silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride or other suitable dielectric materials. In this embodiment, the material of the buffer layer and the gate dielectric layer are both silicon oxide.

[0097] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure after the gate conductive material layer 20 is formed. The gate conductive material layer 20 also covers the upper surface of the gate dielectric layer 21 located above the semiconductor layer 1. The method of forming the gate conductive material layer 20 includes chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition or other suitable methods.

[0098] Specifically, the gate conductive material layer 20 completely covers the surface of the gate dielectric layer 21 located on the first wall and the second wall, and the sum of the thicknesses of the gate conductive material layer 20 and the gate dielectric layer 21 is less than half of the opening size of the groove 2 to ensure that a gap of a preset width is formed between the stacked structure 23 located on the first wall and the second wall.

[0099] Specifically, Figure 8 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure after forming the stacked structure 23. After forming the gate conductive material layer 20, the interlayer dielectric layer is formed (see the subsequent Fig. 9 ), it also includes the step of removing the gate conductive material layer 20 located above the semiconductor layer 1 and below the gap in the groove 2 to form the stacked structure 23 consisting of two parts of the gate conductive material layer 20 and the gate dielectric layer 21 respectively covering the gate dielectric layer 21 on the first wall and the gate dielectric layer 21 on the second wall.

[0100] Specifically, the method of removing the gate conductive material layer 20 located above the semiconductor layer 1 and below the gap in the trench 2 includes dry etching, wet etching or other suitable methods.

[0101] Specifically, while ensuring device performance, after removing the gate conductive material layer 20 located above the semiconductor layer 1 and below the gap in the groove 2, before forming the interlayer dielectric layer, the gate dielectric layer 21 on the upper surface of the semiconductor layer 1 and below the gap in the groove 2 can also be removed.

[0102] Specifically, while ensuring device performance, the thickness of the gate conductive material layer 20 can be selected according to actual conditions and is no longer restricted here; the distance between the gate conductive material layer 20 on the first wall and the gate conductive material layer 20 on the second wall (that is, the size of the gap formed between the stacked structures 23 in the groove 2) can be selected according to actual conditions and is no longer restricted here.

[0103] Specifically, the gate conductive material layer 20 is made of polysilicon or other suitable conductive materials.

[0104] See also Figures 9 to 13, perform step S5 and step S6: form an interlayer dielectric layer 4 filling the groove 2 and covering the upper surface of the stacked structure 23, form a source contact hole 41 with a bottom surface exposing the shielding layer 17 in the interlayer dielectric layer 4 above the groove 2, the inner wall of the source contact hole 41 exposes the first wall and the interlayer dielectric layer 4, and the gate conductive material layer 20 wrapped by the interlayer dielectric layer 4 and the gate dielectric layer 21 serves as a gate conductive layer 22; form a source 5 filling the source contact hole 41, form a gate (not shown) electrically connected to the gate conductive layer 22, and form a drain 6 electrically connected to the substrate 11.

[0105] Specifically, Fig. 9 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure after the interlayer dielectric layer 4 is formed. The interlayer dielectric layer 4 also covers the upper surface of the gate dielectric layer 21 above the semiconductor layer 1. The method of forming the interlayer dielectric layer 4 includes chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition or other suitable methods.

[0106] Specifically, Fig.10 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure after the source contact hole 41 is formed. The method for forming the source contact hole 41 includes dry etching, wet etching or other suitable methods. In this embodiment, since the material of the semiconductor layer 1 is silicon carbide, the material of the gate conductive material layer 20 is polysilicon, and the material of the interlayer dielectric layer 4 is silicon oxide, the strength of silicon carbide material is much higher than that of polysilicon and silicon dioxide. When dry etching is used for etching, the etching ratio of polysilicon and silicon dioxide is much higher than that of silicon carbide. In the process of forming the source contact hole 41, over-etching can be selected to completely remove the stacked structure 23 covering the first wall and expose the shielding layer 17 on the bottom surface of the trench 2. At the same time, the damage to the semiconductor layer 1 is small and the etching process can be simplified.

[0107] As an example, Fig.11 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure after the doping region 18 is formed. After the source contact hole 41 is formed and before the source 5 is formed, it also includes the step of forming a second conductive type doping region 18 located below the contact region 15 on the surface of the body region 14 and the current transfer layer 13 exposed on the inner wall of the source contact hole 41.

[0108] Specifically, the method of forming the doping region 18 includes ion implantation or other suitable methods.

[0109] As an example, the doping concentration of the doping region 18 is not less than 1×10 18 cm -3 , so that the doped region 18 forms an ohmic contact with the source 5 filling the source contact hole 41 .

[0110] As an example, the doping region 18 is connected to the shielding layer 17 and the contact region 15 .

[0111] Specifically, while ensuring device performance and connectivity between the doping region 18 and the shielding layer 17 and the contact region 15, the distance between the side wall of the doping region and the source contact hole 41 can be selected based on actual conditions and is not restricted here; the shape of the doping region 18 and the position of the bottom surface can be selected based on actual conditions and are not restricted here.

[0112] As an example, the cross-sectional size of the opening of the source contact hole 41 in the interlayer dielectric layer 4 is not less than the cross-sectional size of the source contact hole 41 in the trench 2. In this embodiment, the hole filling effect of the source contact hole 41 is improved, the aspect ratio of the source contact hole 41 is reduced, and the quality of the subsequently formed source 5 is improved, so that the opening size of the source contact hole 41 in the interlayer dielectric layer 4 is larger. Since the etching selectivity of the semiconductor layer 1 in the trench 2 is much smaller than the etching selectivity of the gate conductive material layer 20, the cross-sectional size of the source contact hole 41 in the trench 2 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the source contact hole 41 in the interlayer dielectric layer 4.

[0113] Specifically, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, they are respectively a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure after the drain 6 is formed and another schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure after the drain 6 is formed. The method for forming the source 5 includes magnetron sputtering, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, metal compound vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, atomic vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition or other suitable methods; the method for forming the gate includes magnetron sputtering, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, metal compound vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, atomic vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition or other suitable methods; the method for forming the drain 6 includes magnetron sputtering, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, metal compound vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, atomic vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition or other suitable methods.

[0114] As an example, the current transport layer 13 exposed on the inner wall of the source contact hole 41 forms a Schottky contact with the source 5 to form a Schottky diode consisting of the source 5 , the current transport layer 13 , the drift region 12 , the substrate 11 and the drain 6 .

[0115] Specifically, by adjusting the composition of the source electrode 5 , the barrier height of the Schottky contact formed between the source electrode 5 and the current transport layer 13 can be adjusted.

[0116] As an example, the barrier height of the Schottky diode ranges from 1 eV to 1.5 eV, and the turn-on voltage of the Schottky diode ranges from 0.7 V to 1.2 V.

[0117] Specifically, by forming the shielding layer 17 in the current transport layer 13 at the bottom of the groove 2, and forming the gate conductive layer 22 covering the surface of the gate dielectric layer 21 located on the second wall, the source 5 forms an ohmic contact with the shielding layer 17, the source region 16 and the contact region 15 through the source contact hole 41, so that when a forward voltage is first applied to the source 5 and the drain 6, the voltage is borne by the PN junction formed by the shielding layer 17 and the current transport layer 13 and the PN junction formed by the body region 14 and the current transport layer 13. As the voltage between the source 5 and the drain 6 increases, the carriers in the current transport layer 13 between the shielding layer 17 are gradually consumed. As much as possible, a wider space charge region is formed, and the voltage in the device is borne by the shielding layer 17 and the current transfer layer 13. The current transfer layer 13 located above the shielding layer 17 is clamped to avoid damage to the device. At the same time, since the shielding layer 17 and the current transfer layer 13 bear the voltage in the device, the electric field strength borne by the gate dielectric layer 21 can be reduced, so that the electric field strength borne by the gate dielectric layer 21 is lower than 1MV / cm, which can reduce the withstand voltage requirement of the gate dielectric layer 21, reduce the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the gate dielectric layer 21 in the device, improve the performance of the device, and reduce the distance between two adjacent shielding layers 17, which can further reduce the electric field strength borne by the gate dielectric layer 21.

[0118] Specifically, by making the current transfer layer 13 exposed on the second wall form a Schottky contact with the source 5, and then integrating a Schottky diode with a relatively low turn-on voltage composed of the source 5, the semiconductor layer 1 and the drain 6 inside the device (the turn-on voltage of the PN junction between the body region 14 and the current transfer layer 13 is not less than 2.6V), the area of ​​the device is reduced, the size of the device is reduced, and the reverse recovery loss of the device is reduced.

[0119] Specifically, when the device is forward-conducted, due to the setting of the shielding layer 17, the voltage of the current transfer layer 13 in the area above the shielding layer 17 is clamped, thereby protecting the Schottky diode formed by the source 5 and the semiconductor layer 1, and at the same time reducing the electric field strength to which the Schottky diode is subjected, so that the electric field strength to which the Schottky diode is subjected is lower than 1MV / cm, and by reducing the distance between two adjacent shielding layers 17, the electric field strength to which the Schottky diode is subjected can be further reduced, thereby improving the performance of the device.

[0120] Specifically, by making the gate conductive layer 22 cover the surface of the gate dielectric layer 21 on the first wall, the conductive channel of the device is located on the surface of the second wall, and then the cross-section of the conductive channel is the C-plane of silicon carbide, thereby improving the electron mobility in the conductive channel and improving the performance of the device.

[0121] Specifically, by forming the doped region 13 on the body region 14 exposed on the inner wall of the source contact hole 41 and the surface layer of the current transfer layer 13, the leakage risk caused by introducing the source 5 to form a Schottky contact with the current transfer layer 13 can be reduced, and the depletion of carriers in the area where the doped region 18 is located is avoided. At the same time, the depletion degree of carriers in the current transfer layer 13 above the shielding layer 17 is improved, so as to better protect the device. Moreover, since the doping concentration of the doped region 18 is relatively high, the turn-on voltage of the PN junction between the doped region 18 and the current transfer layer 13 is relatively low, so the reverse recovery loss of the device can be reduced.

[0122] The preparation method of the SiC power MOS device of this embodiment improves the manufacturing process of the device. After forming the groove 2, the shielding layer 17 is formed in the current transfer layer 13 at the bottom of the groove 2, and then the stacked structure 23, the interlayer dielectric layer 4 and the source contact hole 41 that exposes the first wall and the shielding layer 17 are formed in sequence. The source 5 forms an ohmic contact with the shielding layer 17 through the source contact hole 41, and the source 5 forms a Schottky contact with the current transfer layer 13 exposed by the first wall. When a forward voltage is applied to the device, the voltage is borne by the PN junction between the shielding layer 17 and the current transfer layer 13 and the PN junction between the body region 14 and the current transfer layer 13, and due to the depletion of carriers in the current transfer layer 13 between the shielding layer 17 , the current transfer layer 13 above the shielding layer 17 is clamped to avoid damage to the device. At the same time, since the shielding layer 17 and the current transfer layer 13 bear the voltage in the device, the gate dielectric layer 21 is protected by the shielding layer 17 electrically connected to the source 5, which can reduce the electric field strength borne by the gate dielectric layer 21, and then reduce the withstand voltage requirement of the gate dielectric layer 21, thereby reducing the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the gate dielectric layer 21 and improving the reliability of the gate dielectric layer 21, and reducing the distance between two adjacent shielding layers 17, which can further reduce the electric field strength borne by the gate dielectric layer 21; by forming a conductive channel located on the surface layer of the second wall, the cross-section of the conductive channel is made to be the C-plane of the semiconductor layer 1, which improves the electron mobility in the conductive channel and then improves the device performance.
