Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more specifically, to a fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution and its fabrication method. Background Technology

[0002] Insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) offer advantages such as high switching speed, high input impedance, low control power, and low losses, making them ideal switching devices in the power electronics field. The core technologies of IGBTs involve the design and production of IGBT chips and fast recovery diode chips. The fast recovery diode is often packaged with the IGBT, thus increasing the demands on it.

[0003] Fast recovery diodes can modulate the electric field distribution of power devices by setting a field-limiting ring, enabling the power devices to achieve ideal breakdown voltage levels. Current methods for fabricating field-limiting rings mainly involve coating the area outside the field-limiting ring region with photoresist, photolithographically lithographically processing the field-limiting ring region, then implanting ions and annealing to activate it to form the field-limiting ring. However, the range and dosage of implanted ions are easily affected by the size of the window on the photoresist layer and equipment fluctuations. Furthermore, existing field-limiting ring fabrication requires the addition of highly concentrated doped donor impurities in the terminal region of the substrate for electric field cutoff, thus placing greater demands on the terminal region and hindering chip miniaturization.

[0012] Optionally, before depositing a front metal electrode layer on the front side and a back metal electrode layer on the back side of the second fabrication, the method further includes thinning the back side of the N-type substrate to a thickness of 200um-250um.

[0013] Optionally, a front metal electrode layer is deposited on the front side and a back metal electrode layer is deposited on the back side of the second fabrication, including: the front metal electrode layer is a titanium / nickel / silver metal layer deposited sequentially.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a method for fabricating a fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution, the specific fabrication steps of which are as follows:

[0033] Step S100: Deposit an epitaxial layer 120 on an N-type substrate 110 and implant acceptor-type impurities on the front side of the epitaxial layer 120;

[0034] Specifically, an epitaxial layer 120 can be deposited on an N-type substrate 110 using chemical vapor deposition. The epitaxial layer 120 acts as an isolation and buffer for the substrate, isolating impurities in the N-type substrate 110 and preventing subsequent fabrication processes from affecting the active region, thus ensuring the reliability of the fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution. After the epitaxial layer 120 is deposited on the N-type substrate 110, its surface can be cleaned to remove any particulate impurities, organic residues, and metallic impurities that may adhere to it, further improving the fabrication yield of the fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution.

[0035] Subsequently, acceptor impurities are implanted into the epitaxial layer 120, preferably boron. Since the entire surface of the epitaxial layer 120 is implanted with acceptor impurities, compared to the prior art method of first performing photolithography on the field limiting ring 112 region and then implanting ions, the dosage of acceptor impurities in this application can be precisely controlled, improving the fabrication yield and reliability of fast recovery diodes with modulated carrier distribution.

[0036] Step S200, as follows Figure 2 As shown, an oxide layer 130 is grown on the surface of the epitaxial layer 120, and windows are opened in the non-main junction region and the field confinement ring 112 region of the N-type substrate 110 corresponding to the oxide layer 130 by photolithography.

[0037] Specifically, an oxide layer 130 can be formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer 120 by methods such as thermal oxidation or chemical vapor deposition. The specific thickness of the oxide layer 130 can be controlled according to specific process requirements. The oxide layer 130 serves to provide electrical insulation, effectively preventing current flow and thus improving device performance and stability. It also provides a suitable working surface for subsequent photolithography processes, improving fabrication efficiency and reliability.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, windows are created in the non-main junction region of the oxide layer 130 corresponding to the N-type substrate 110 and the field confinement ring 112 region using photolithography. This facilitates the subsequent implantation of impurities within the windows to form the field confinement ring 112, effectively expanding the space of the electric field distribution and reducing the edge electric field strength, thereby improving the device's breakdown voltage performance. The size, shape, and number of windows can be adjusted according to fabrication requirements, and this application does not impose any limitations in this regard.

[0039] It should be noted that, in one possible embodiment of this application, the oxide layer 130 may be a silicon dioxide layer formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer 120 at a temperature environment below 1100°C.

[0040] Step S300: Inject donor-type impurities into the front side of epitaxial layer 120 through the window, and perform high-temperature diffusion treatment on epitaxial layer 120 to make acceptor-type impurities and donor-type impurities diffuse evenly, so as to obtain the first prepared part.

[0041] Specifically, the window opened in step S200 serves as a channel for impurity injection, ensuring that donor-type impurities are accurately introduced to the locations where electrical properties need to be altered. Preferably, the donor-type impurity is phosphorus.

[0042] When the epitaxial layer 120 is in a high-temperature environment, the atoms gain sufficient energy to achieve the diffusion of donor and acceptor impurities, thus obtaining the first fabricated part. Since the diffusion coefficient of boron is greater than that of phosphorus, under the same conditions, phosphorus can penetrate the impurity region where boron is located, ensuring the stability of the acceptor impurity position and forming a pn junction for voltage withstand; the uniform diffusion of acceptor and donor impurities optimizes the electrical properties of the epitaxial layer 120.

[0043] It should be noted that, in one possible embodiment of this application, step S300 requires high-temperature diffusion treatment of the epitaxial layer 120 at a temperature above 1100°C, so that the injected impurity atoms can be better integrated into the lattice structure of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 120 and thus be activated, while also helping to achieve a more uniform distribution of impurities throughout the epitaxial layer 120.

[0044] Step S400, as follows Figure 3 As shown, a polysilicon layer is deposited on the surface of the first fabrication, and a polysilicon field plate 140 is obtained by photolithography;

[0045] Specifically, a polycrystalline silicon layer can be deposited by chemical vapor deposition. Polycrystalline silicon possesses excellent electrical properties, such as tunable conductivity. Its electrical properties can be altered through doping and other methods, enabling it to effectively conduct or control electric fields. The polycrystalline silicon field plate 140 can extend the surface depletion region laterally to be wider than the bulk region, thereby improving the device's breakdown characteristics. The polycrystalline silicon field plate 140 is disposed in the non-main junction region.

[0046] Step S500, as follows Figure 3 As shown, an active region window is formed in the active region of the N-type substrate 110 corresponding to the oxide layer 130 by photolithography, and acceptor impurities are implanted into the epitaxial layer 120 through the active region window to form an ohmic contact region 113; optionally, the acceptor impurity is boron.

[0047] Step S600: Inject heavy metal impurities into the epitaxial layer 120 and anneal to obtain the second part;

[0048] Specifically, heavy metal impurities can produce unique electrical properties. After being implanted, these heavy metal impurities introduce special energy levels into the semiconductor lattice. These energy levels can act as recombination centers, effectively controlling the lifetime and recombination process of charge carriers. During the formation of the field confinement ring 112, this control over charge carrier recombination helps to adjust the electrical characteristics of the edge region of the epitaxial layer 120.

[0049] During ion implantation, high-speed impurity ions bombard the epitaxial layer 120, causing defects such as lattice atomic displacement and vacancies. Annealing is a heat treatment of the material at a certain temperature, allowing the atoms to gain sufficient energy to rearrange themselves and form field confinement rings 112, such as... Figure 3 As shown. After annealing, the heavy metal impurities are stabilized in the crystal lattice, and their distribution is optimized to some extent due to thermal motion. This optimized impurity distribution helps to form suitable electrical properties in the field-limiting ring 112 region.

[0050] Since ion implantation of the active region and field confinement ring 112 is performed before the implantation of heavy metal impurities, the possibility of impurity ions contaminating the active region and PN junction during the fabrication process can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution.

[0051] It should be noted that, in one specific embodiment of this application, the heavy metal impurity is platinum or gold. Platinum and gold can form effective recombination centers in semiconductor materials. When they are implanted into the epitaxial layer 120, they can capture electron-hole pairs and accelerate the carrier recombination process. During the formation of the field confinement ring 112, the role of these recombination centers is crucial for controlling the carrier lifetime and concentration in the edge region of the epitaxial layer 120. It also helps to adjust the electric field distribution at the edge of the epitaxial layer 120.

[0052] Step S700, as follows Figure 4 As shown, a front metal electrode layer 150 is deposited on the front side and a back metal electrode layer 160 is deposited on the back side of the second fabrication, wherein the front metal electrode layer 150 is located on top of the main junction region 111 of the N-type substrate 110.

[0053] Specifically, the deposition of the front metal electrode layer 150 and the back metal electrode layer 160 is typically achieved using physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition techniques. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the front metal electrode layer 150 is located on top of the main junction region 111 of the N-type substrate. The main junction region 111 is a key part in the semiconductor device that realizes the main electrical functions. Depositing the metal electrode layer at this location can achieve good electrical contact, so as to effectively conduct the current generated in the main junction region 111 or inject charge carriers into the main junction region 111. Optionally, when fabricating the front metal electrode layer 150, a metal layer can be deposited on the front side of the second fabrication first, and the portion of the front metal layer other than the main junction region 111 corresponding to the N-type substrate 110 can be removed by photolithography to obtain the front metal electrode layer 150.

[0054] The back metal electrode layer 160 provides another electrical contact point, which, together with the front metal electrode layer 150, enables a complete electrical path.

[0055] It should be noted that, firstly, before depositing the front metal electrode layer 150 on the front side and the back metal electrode layer 160 on the back side of the second fabrication, the back side of the N-type substrate 110 can be thinned to a thickness of 200µm-250µm. By thinning the back side of the N-type substrate 110, the heat dissipation efficiency and reliability of the fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution can be improved.

[0056] Second, in one possible embodiment of this application, the front metal electrode layer 150 is a titanium / nickel / silver metal layer deposited sequentially. The titanium metal layer is deposited first. Titanium has good adhesion and diffusion barrier properties, so it can adhere tightly to the surface of the epitaxial layer 120, providing a stable and solid foundation for the deposition of subsequent metal layers; at the same time, the titanium metal layer can also effectively prevent other metal atoms from diffusing to the bottom layer, ensuring the stability and purity of the entire metal structure.

[0057] Next, a nickel metal layer is deposited. The nickel layer further enhances the bonding between the metal layers on top of the titanium layer and helps improve the overall electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of the metal structure. The presence of the nickel layer allows the subsequently deposited silver metal layer to better utilize its excellent electrical conductivity.

[0058] Finally, a silver metal layer is deposited. Silver has extremely high conductivity, which provides a low-resistance current conduction path for the fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution during operation, ensuring the efficiency and stability of signal transmission, thereby improving the current carrying capacity of the fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution.

[0059] In another possible embodiment of this application, the front metal electrode layer 150 is a deposited aluminum mixed metal layer, which is either an aluminum-copper layer or an aluminum-silicon-copper layer. This is because the aluminum mixed metal layer can form good electrical contact with the semiconductor material, ensuring that current can be smoothly transmitted between the metal and the semiconductor without generating large contact resistance.

[0060] Third, in one possible embodiment of this application, the back metal electrode layer 160 may also be a titanium / nickel / silver metal layer deposited sequentially.

[0061] Step S800: Polyimide is coated on both sides of the front metal electrode layer 150 to form a passivation layer 170, and the passivation layer 170 is deposited on the polycrystalline silicon field plate 140.

[0062] Specifically, in order to provide some protection for the polycrystalline silicon field plate 140 and the field confinement ring 112, such as Figure 4As shown, a passivation layer 170 formed of polyimide is deposited on the non-main junction region of the N-type substrate 110. Polyimide has good insulation properties, which can effectively prevent abnormal conduction of charge between different metal layers or other areas of the chip, reduce the risk of leakage current, and ensure the stability of the chip's electrical performance.

[0063] The above-mentioned method for fabricating a fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution can effectively control the range of the main junction region 111 and the field limiting ring 112 region, reduce fabrication costs, and facilitate miniaturization of chip size and product stability.

[0064] Another aspect of this application embodiment provides a fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution, which is prepared by a method for preparing a fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution. The method for preparing the fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here. The above-mentioned fast recovery diode with modulated carrier distribution exhibits good product stability and reliability, which is beneficial for achieving miniaturization of chip size.

[0065] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0066] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
