[0047] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0048] In order to provide a high-performance SiC power device with a terminal structure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a silicon carbide PiN with an adjustable fin-type JTE structure, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of a silicon carbide PiN with an adjustable fin-type JTE structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the silicon carbide PiN includes:

[0049] A substrate 10, a drift layer 20 located on the substrate 10, a positive doping region 30 and a negative doping region 40 formed by doping the drift layer 20, a fin-type JTE structure formed by etching the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40, a terminal oxide layer 50 surrounding the fin-type JTE structure on three sides, a terminal metal layer 60 covering the surface of the terminal oxide layer 50, a positive metal layer 70 located on the positive doping region 30, and a negative metal layer 80 located on the negative doping region 40.

[0050] In this embodiment, the substrate 10 is a base of a semiconductor chip, and provides a process platform for the subsequent formation of a semiconductor structure. The substrate 10 can be grown in different ways, which are not limited here.

[0051] In this embodiment, the drift layer 20 may be deposited on the substrate 10 by using methods such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition.

[0052] The positive electrode doping region 30 is a doping region formed by introducing a trivalent element such as boron or gallium, etc. The negative electrode doping region 40 is a doping region formed by introducing a pentavalent element such as phosphorus or arsenic, etc.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the fin-type JTE structure is formed by etching the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 .

[0054] Specifically, a photolithography machine may be used to perform exposure and development on the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 to form a photolithography pattern to be etched. The photolithography pattern is then etched to finally obtain a fin-type JTE structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, the terminal oxide layer 50 surrounds the fin-type JTE structure from three sides, namely, the front, top and back directions. Therefore, the terminal oxide layer 50 can provide terminal charges from three directions to regulate the terminal electric field distribution.

[0056] The terminal metal layer 60, ie, the terminal electrode, is deposited on the surface of the terminal oxide layer 50, and a terminal control signal is provided through the terminal electrode.

[0057] In this embodiment, the positive metal layer 70 and the negative metal layer 80 are used to establish electrical connection and lead out electrical signals. Specifically, the positive metal layer 70 is connected to a positive voltage to form an electrical connection on the surface of the positive doping region 30. The negative metal layer 80 is connected to a negative voltage to form an electrical connection on the surface of the negative doping region 40.

[0058] In the silicon carbide PiN with an adjustable fin-type JTE structure provided in this embodiment, the terminal oxide layer 50 is a terminal oxide layer 50 that surrounds the fin-type JTE structure on three sides, so the terminal control signal provided by the terminal metal layer 60 can provide terminal charges from three directions, thereby adjusting the terminal electric field distribution. Moreover, due to the presence of the fin-type JTE structure, the control capability of the terminal charge and the terminal control signal can be enhanced. By adjusting the terminal control signal and the terminal charge, a terminal electric field distribution suitable for different working environments can be formed, thereby improving the terminal efficiency.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 10 may be a silicon carbide, germanium or silicon germanium substrate. Since silicon carbide material has good stability, heat dissipation and corrosion resistance, in this solution, the substrate 10 is preferably a silicon carbide substrate. At the same time, since silicon carbide material also has good electrical conductivity, the drift layer 20 is preferably a silicon carbide drift layer, and the corresponding positive electrode doping region 30 is a silicon carbide positive electrode doping region, and the negative electrode doping region 40 is a silicon carbide negative electrode doping region.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal oxide layer 50 is preferably a silicon dioxide terminal oxide layer. Silicon dioxide has excellent insulation properties and good thermal stability. It can still maintain stable insulation properties at higher temperatures, which helps to improve the operating temperature range of semiconductor devices. At the same time, silicon dioxide has good chemical stability and anti-friction properties, which reduces the risk of damage to the device. In addition, silicon dioxide is also a common inorganic material with low cost, easy preparation and processing, which is conducive to reducing manufacturing costs.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal metal layer 60 is preferably an aluminum terminal metal layer, the positive electrode metal layer 70 is preferably an aluminum positive electrode metal layer, and the negative electrode metal layer 80 is preferably an aluminum negative electrode metal layer. Aluminum is a high-quality conductive material that can provide a good current transmission effect. Aluminum also has good chemical stability and physical stability, which can make semiconductor devices more stable and reliable. At the same time, the high thermal conductivity of aluminum can effectively dissipate heat and help reduce the temperature of semiconductor devices. In addition, aluminum is also a common metal material with low cost, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of semiconductor devices.

[0062] The present invention also provides a method for preparing silicon carbide PiN with a tunable fin-type JTE structure. Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a silicon carbide PiN with an adjustable fin-type JTE structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the method comprising the following steps:

[0063] Step S201 , selecting a substrate 10 and forming a drift layer 20 on the substrate 10 .

[0064] See also Figure 3 In (a), Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a process for preparing a silicon carbide PiN with an adjustable fin-type JTE structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the substrate 10 is preferably a silicon carbide substrate, and the drift layer 20 is preferably a silicon carbide drift layer.

[0065] In step S202 , ion implantation is performed on the drift layer 20 to form a positive doping region 30 and a negative doping region 40 .

[0066] See also Figure 3 In (b), ion implantation refers to implanting charged ions with a certain energy into the drift layer 20. Ion implantation can control the amount of impurities more accurately. In this embodiment, ion implantation can be a single implantation or multiple implantations.

[0067] Step S203 , etching the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 to form a fin-type JTE structure.

[0068] Etching is a semiconductor manufacturing process, by which the unnecessary portion of the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 can be removed. Figure 3 In (c), the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 is etched to form a fin-type JTE structure.

[0069] Step S204 , depositing a terminal oxide layer 50 around the fin-type JTE structure on three sides.

[0070] See also Figure 3 In (d), in this embodiment, a terminal oxide layer 50 is deposited around the top, front and rear surfaces of the fin-type JTE structure.

[0071] Common oxidation methods include dry oxygen oxidation and wet oxygen oxidation. In order to prevent the oxidation time from being too long and to ensure the quality of oxidation, in this embodiment, a method of first wet oxygen oxidation and then dry oxygen oxidation is used to form the terminal oxide layer 50. The wet oxygen oxidation is first used to increase the rate of generating the terminal oxide layer 50, and the dry oxygen oxidation is then used to ensure the quality of the terminal oxide layer 50.

[0072] Step S205 , depositing a terminal metal layer 60 on the surface of the terminal oxide layer 50 .

[0073] See also Figure 3 In (e), after cleaning the surface of the terminal oxide layer 50, a terminal metal layer 60 is formed on the surface of the terminal oxide layer 50. Specifically, it can be implemented by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology.

[0074] Step S206 , depositing an anode metal layer 70 on the anode doping region 30 .

[0075] See also Figure 3 In (f), a positive electrode metal layer 70 is deposited on the surface of the positive electrode doping region 30 on the left side. For the specific deposition process, please refer to step S205.

[0076] Step S207 , depositing a negative electrode metal layer 80 on the negative electrode doping region 40 .

[0077] See also Figure 3 In (f), a negative electrode metal layer 80 is deposited on the surface of the right negative electrode doping region 40. For the specific deposition process, please refer to step S205.

[0078] In this embodiment, the preparation method of the silicon carbide PiN with adjustable fin-type JTE structure is to select a substrate 10 and form a drift layer 20 on the substrate 10, perform ion implantation on the drift layer 20 to form a positive doping region 30 and a negative doping region 40 respectively, and then etch the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 to form a fin-type JTE structure. A terminal oxide layer 50 is deposited around the fin-type JTE structure on three sides. A terminal metal layer 60 is deposited on the surface of the terminal oxide layer 50. A positive metal layer 70 is deposited on the positive doping region 30, and a negative metal layer 80 is deposited on the negative doping region 40.

[0079] Because the terminal oxide layer 50 is a terminal oxide layer 50 surrounded by a fin-type JTE structure on three sides, the terminal control signal provided by the terminal metal layer 60 can provide terminal charges from three directions, thereby adjusting the terminal electric field distribution. In addition, due to the existence of the fin-type JTE structure, the control capability of the terminal charge and the terminal control signal can be enhanced. By adjusting the terminal control signal and the terminal charge, the terminal electric field distribution suitable for different working environments can be formed, thereby improving the terminal efficiency.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, ion implantation is performed on the drift layer 20 to form the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 respectively, including:

[0081] (1) A positive electrode region is selected on the surface of the drift layer 20 .

[0082] See also Figure 3 In (b), the left side is selected as the positive electrode area.

[0083] (2) After forming a first barrier layer on the surface of the drift layer 20 except the positive electrode region, ion implantation is performed into the positive electrode region to form a positive electrode doping region 30;

[0084] The positive electrode doping region 30 is a doping region formed by introducing trivalent elements, such as boron or gallium, etc. The first barrier layer may be a silicon dioxide barrier layer.

[0085] (3) After forming the anode doping region 30, the first barrier layer is etched away.

[0086] (4) A negative electrode region is selected on the surface of the drift layer 20 ; wherein the negative electrode region and the positive electrode region are separated by a certain distance.

[0087] See also Figure 3 In (b), the right side is selected as the negative electrode area.

[0088] (5) After forming a second barrier layer on the surface of the drift layer 20 except the cathode region, ion implantation is performed into the cathode region to form the cathode doped region 40 .

[0089] (6) After forming the cathode doping region 40, the second barrier layer is etched away. The second barrier layer may be a silicon dioxide barrier layer.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, the step of etching the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 to form a fin-type JTE structure may be to generate an oxidation barrier layer on the surface of the drift layer 20, the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40, and then form a third barrier layer on the oxidation barrier layer generated on the surface of the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40, wherein the third barrier layer may be formed by coating a photoresist. The third barrier layer is exposed and developed using a photolithography machine, and then the third barrier layer is used as an etching barrier layer of the oxidation barrier layer to etch the oxidation barrier layer on the surface of the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 to form a photolithography pattern to be etched. The third barrier layer is removed, and then the photolithography pattern of the oxidation barrier layer on the surface of the drift layer 20 between the positive doping region 30 and the negative doping region 40 is etched to remove a certain depth of the drift layer 20 to form a fin-type JTE structure. Among them, the oxidation barrier layer may be a silicon dioxide barrier layer.

[0091] By etching, the area not covered by the third barrier layer can be removed, and the drift layer 20 of a certain depth can be removed to form a fin-type JTE structure, see Figure 3 In (c), the oxidation barrier layer is finally etched away.

[0092] In addition, after the etching process, the residues produced by the etching can be removed by cleaning.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of depositing the terminal oxide layer 50 around the fin-type JTE structure on three sides specifically includes: forming a fourth barrier layer on the surface other than the fin-type JTE structure, and depositing the terminal oxide layer 50 around the fin-type JTE structure on three sides from the front, top and back directions, see Figure 3 In (d), the fourth barrier layer is then etched away. The fourth barrier layer may be a silicon dioxide barrier layer.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of depositing the terminal metal layer 60 on the surface of the terminal oxide layer 50 is specifically to form a fifth barrier layer on the surface other than the terminal oxide layer 50, and deposit a layer of the terminal metal layer 60 on the surface of the terminal oxide layer 50, see Figure 3 In step (e), the fifth barrier layer is then etched away. The fifth barrier layer may be a silicon dioxide barrier layer.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific step of depositing the positive electrode metal layer 70 on the positive electrode doping region 30 is to deposit a positive electrode metal layer 70 on the positive electrode doping region 30 after forming the sixth barrier layer on the surface other than the positive electrode doping region 30, see Figure 3 The specific step of depositing the negative electrode metal layer 80 on the negative electrode doping region 40 is to form the seventh barrier layer on the surface other than the negative electrode doping region 40, and then deposit the negative electrode metal layer 80 on the negative electrode doping region 40, see Figure 3 (f) in the figure, and then the seventh barrier layer is etched away. Wherein, the sixth barrier layer and the seventh barrier layer are both silicon dioxide barrier layers.
