Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors and relates to a super junction power semiconductor device. Background Art

[0002] Power MOS devices are one of the main devices for power processing and conversion. They have the advantages of high input impedance and easy driving, so they are widely used in automotive electronics, industrial electronics, consumer electronics and other fields. Ideal power MOS devices often require high breakdown voltage (Breakdown Voltage, BV) and low specific on resistance (Specific on resistance, R on,sp ), thereby minimizing conduction losses. However, due to the "silicon limit" relationship, the R on,sp There is a restrictive relationship between R and BV. Therefore, super junction devices were invented in the 1880s. The introduction of super junction structure greatly alleviated the problem of R on,sp -BV contradictory relationship. Super junction devices achieve charge compensation by using alternating P-type and N-type regions, thereby obtaining a lower specific on-resistance R on,sp Superjunction devices have good performance and a higher breakdown voltage BV, but the terminal structure of superjunction devices is very sensitive to charge balance and has a small optimization window. Therefore, it is very important to design the terminal structure, improve the terminal structure's withstand voltage capability, and reduce the terminal withstand voltage sensitivity for the application of superjunction. Under high voltage and high current applications, the breakdown occurs in a large active area, which is more beneficial to the application of the device, while small current devices are more inclined to breakdown in a larger non-active area. Based on high current application devices, the present invention designs the transition zone and terminal zone structure of the device to transfer the breakdown position to the inside of the cell, so that the N / P column widths of the transition zone and the terminal zone are smaller than the cell zone, so as to improve the breakdown characteristics and improve the device E AS Characteristics and reliability. If the current is small, the same principle can be used, but the design direction can be reversed to achieve the transfer of the breakdown point. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0065] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0066] like Figure 1 The figure shows the original structure of the existing power semiconductor device. Its terminal structure uses the top horizontal first / second conductive type strips for auxiliary depletion in the off state. Based on the adjustable length and doping characteristics of the second conductive type horizontal strip area, the voltage resistance level of the terminal area can be flexibly adjusted. The second conductive type horizontal strip area in the terminal area connects the vertical strips together, which plays a role in supplementing holes and optimizing the dynamic characteristics of the device. Figure 1In the structure shown, the device is prone to breakdown at the boundary of the transition zone in the off state, and the charge balance and voltage resistance optimization of the terminal structure will be limited. At the same time, if the breakdown point is located in the transition zone, since the transition zone accounts for a very small proportion of the device area, it is not conducive to improving the robustness of the device.

This optimized structure transfers the current discharge path when the device breaks down to a large area of ​​the cell area, thereby improving the avalanche tolerance of the device.

This embodiment adjusts the electric field distribution in the transition region and the terminal region, further transfers the breakdown position to the cell region, and improves the off-state withstand voltage capability of the device. According to different withstand voltage requirements, the change amount of the area position width can be adjusted automatically.

The oxide layer thickness under the middle section polysilicon gate is greater, and the gate oxide layer thickness on both sides is smaller.

[0091] This embodiment adopts a special gate structure. Under the condition that the gate oxide thickness on both sides is sufficient to enable the channel to open normally, the thickness of the middle gate oxide is increased to reduce the capacitance and gate charge, which helps to reduce the requirements of the gate drive circuit and reduce power loss, and further optimize the dynamic characteristics of the device.

[0094] This embodiment adopts a groove gate structure, which can further reduce the cell size, reduce the on-resistance of the device, reduce the parasitic capacitance, increase the switching speed, reduce the switching loss, and improve the current capacity of the device; at the same time, a second conductive type doping region is introduced at the bottom of the groove gate to further optimize the dynamic characteristics of the device while avoiding preferential breakdown of the gate oxide layer.

[0095] Embodiment 9:
