Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a junction field effect transistor device, a preparation method thereof, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Junction field effect transistor (JFET) is widely used as an electrically controlled switch structure in electronic devices based on wide bandgap semiconductors, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). JFET is a unipolar electronic device, that is, in the on state, there is basically only one type of carrier flowing in the channel of the semiconductor device to form a conduction current between the source and drain of the device. The gate of the JFET forms a pn junction with the channel. In a normally-on JFET, by applying a voltage to the gate, the pn junction is reverse biased to the channel pinch-off voltage to turn off the device.

[0003] Existing JFET devices can be divided into vertical and planar types according to the position of the channel relative to the wafer. Among them, the planar JFET is also called the lateral JFET, whose channel is horizontal to the wafer surface, and the width of the channel is determined by two upper and lower semiconductor gates that are also horizontal to the wafer and have opposite channel doping types. The variability of the spacing between these lateral semiconductor gates is determined by the change in the depth difference of the doping between the two. In semiconductor processing, the doping depth can be relatively simply and uniformly controlled between a few nanometers and a few microns by controlling the injection energy or epitaxial time. Therefore, the use of a planar channel can effectively improve the manufacturing capability of the device.

[0004] The most common manufacturing method for planar JFET is the injection method, which forms a channel and a semiconductor gate sandwiching the channel above and below through multiple ion injections. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The planar triple-injection JFET and the corresponding manufacturing method proposed in the prior art (application number: 201680061749.4) form a top gate region 605a, a channel region 604 and a bottom gate region 605b by performing three ion implantations on the drift region, that is, forming a pnp structure of the JFET, and realizing the channel of the planar JFET. However, the lateral channel realized by this method has undergone multiple high-energy ion implantations, and the channel crystal quality is poor and the mobility is low. At the same time, high-dose deep ion implantation takes a long time, the semiconductor gate resistivity is large, and the gate resistance of the formed device is large. At the same time, there is a correlation between the ion implantation depth of the semiconductor gate and the device channel width and the turn-off voltage, so the on-resistance and turn-off voltage of the device are also limited by ion implantation.

[0005] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2The second prior art proposes a SiC JFET device with integrated Schottky diode and its manufacturing method (publication number: CN106783851B). This patent forms a p+ well layer by first implanting on the n-drift layer, and then performs secondary epitaxy to form an n channel, and then implants again to form p+ and n+ / p+ source contacts, and then connects the bottom p+ well to the p+ source contact area by p-type implantation. Because the bottom p+ well is connected to the source, when the device is turned off, the channel can only be unidirectionally cut off by the top gate / source pn junction depletion region, and the threshold voltage is relatively low. Figure 1 The more negative the voltage is, the larger the turn-off voltage of the device becomes, making it very difficult for the device to achieve a positive threshold voltage (i.e., a normally-off device) with a low on-resistance. Therefore, its Schottky junction design cannot achieve the desired reverse freewheeling effect. Figure 2 The integrated Schottky junction is not actually functional and wastes device area. Figure 2 The capacitance between the source and drain terminals of the device shown is much larger than Figure 1 The capacitance between the source and drain terminals of the device shown, if applied to a common cascode device, would increase its output capacitance, cause oscillation and increase switching losses.

[0006] Based on the above reasons, the existing JFET devices need to be improved. Summary of the invention
