[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0040] According to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , which is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a semiconductor device 100 provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The semiconductor device 100 may be a power semiconductor device. The power semiconductor device includes, but is not limited to, any one of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET).
[0041] The semiconductor device 100 includes a semiconductor layer 1, a first gate trench 131 located in the semiconductor layer 1, and a first trench gate structure 21. The semiconductor layer 1 has a first surface 1A1 and a second surface 1A2 arranged opposite to each other in a first direction Y. The first gate trench 131 is recessed from the first surface 1A1 to the second surface 1A2. The first trench gate structure 21 is located in the first gate trench 131 and includes a first gate portion 211 and a first shielding portion 212. The first gate portion 211 and the first shielding portion 212 are arranged at intervals in a second direction X, and the first direction Y intersects with the second direction X.
[0042] In the semiconductor device 100 of some embodiments of the present application, the gate in the first gate trench 131 is split into a first gate portion 211 and a first shielding portion 212 arranged at intervals in the second direction X. The design of the first shielding portion 212 converts the parasitic capacitance between part of the gate and the drain in the conventional technology into the parasitic capacitance between the first shielding portion 212 and the drain. In addition, the first shielding portion 212 also shields the lateral parasitic capacitance between the first gate portion 211 and the drain, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the first gate portion 211 and the drain. Furthermore, the design of the first shielding portion 212 makes the first gate portion 211 a narrow gate structure. In the first direction Y, the first gate portion 211 has a smaller facing area with the drain, and the parasitic capacitance between the first gate portion 211 and the drain is smaller. The smaller gate-drain capacitance can reduce the switching loss of the semiconductor device 100.
[0043] In some embodiments, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the second direction X, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the angle between the first direction Y and the second direction X may also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle.
[0044] In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer 1 includes a collector region 1B, a buffer region 1C, and a drift region 1D. In the first direction Y, the buffer region 1C is located between the collector region 1B and the drift region 1D. The collector region 1B is adjacent to the second surface 1A2, and the first gate trench 131 is located in the drift region 1D. In this way, the semiconductor device 100 is an IGBT device.
[0045] The collector region 1B has a first conductivity type, and the buffer region 1C has a second conductivity type, and the first conductivity type is opposite to the second conductivity type. Exemplarily, the first conductivity type is P type, and the second conductivity type is N type. It can be understood that when the first conductivity type can also be N type, the second conductivity type can also be P type.
[0046] In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer 1 may include at least one of silicon, a compound semiconductor material, and an alloy semiconductor material. The compound semiconductor material includes at least one of silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide, and indium antimonide. The alloy semiconductor material includes at least one of silicon germanium, gallium arsenide phosphide, aluminum indium arsenide, aluminum gallium arsenide, gallium indium arsenide, gallium indium phosphide, and gallium indium arsenide phosphide.
[0047] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes a collector electrode 6 , which is located on the second surface 1A2 and in contact with the collector region 1B. In some embodiments, the collector electrode 6 includes a conductive material such as a metal material.
[0048] In some embodiments, the first shielding portion 212 may include a conductive material. In this way, the first shielding portion 212 has conductive properties. In some embodiments, the first shielding portion 212 may also include a conductive material and a doping material to improve the conductivity of the first shielding portion 212. Exemplarily, the first shielding portion 212 may include polysilicon and a doping material. In some embodiments, the first shielding portion 212 may include two shielding sub-portions of opposite conductivity types stacked in the first direction Y.
[0049] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes a conductive electrode 45, which is located on the first surface 1A1 and connected to the first shielding portion 212. In this way, the first shielding portion 212 can be connected to a fixed potential through the conductive electrode 45, and the first shielding portion 212 converts a portion of the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain in the related art into a parasitic capacitance between the first shielding portion 212 and the drain, thereby reducing the gate-drain capacitance.
[0050] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes an emitter 44, which is located on the first surface 1A1 of the semiconductor layer 1 and connected to the conductive electrode 45. In this way, the first shielding portion 212 is connected to the potential of the emitter 44, and the first shielding portion 212 converts a portion of the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain in the related art into a parasitic capacitance between the emitter 44 and the drain, thereby reducing the gate-drain capacitance.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first gate portion 211 includes a first gate doping portion 2111 and a second gate doping portion 2112 stacked in the first direction Y. The conductivity type of the doped ions in the first gate doping portion 2111 and the second gate doping portion 2112 is opposite. In this way, the first gate doping portion 2111 and the second gate doping portion 2112 constitute a first PN junction capacitor, and the gate-drain capacitor between the first gate portion 211 and the drain is in series with the first PN junction capacitor. The two capacitors are connected in series, the capacitance is reduced, the total gate-drain capacitance is reduced, and the switching loss of the semiconductor device 100 is further reduced.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first trench gate structure 21 may further include a first gate dielectric layer 214, and the first gate dielectric layer 214 is at least filled between the first gate portion 211, the first shielding portion 212, and the groove wall of the first gate trench 131. In this way, the first gate dielectric layer 214 is used to achieve insulation between the first gate portion 211, the first shielding portion 212, and the semiconductor layer 1.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first trench gate structure 21 further includes a second shielding portion 213. The second shielding portion 213 is located at the bottom of the first gate trench 131. The first gate portion 211 and the first shielding portion 212 are located on the side of the second shielding portion 213 away from the second surface 1A2. The first gate dielectric layer 214 is also filled between the second shielding portion 213 and the first gate portion 211, the first shielding portion 212 and the groove wall of the first gate trench 131. In this way, the design of the second shielding portion 213 plays a shielding role between the first gate portion 211 and the drain, further reducing the parasitic capacitance between the first gate portion 211 and the drain, and further reducing the switching loss of the semiconductor device 100.
[0054] In some embodiments, the second shielding portion 213 is connected to the low potential of the emitter 44. In this way, the second shielding portion 213 is connected to a fixed potential to play a shielding role. In other embodiments, the second shielding portion 213 can also be connected to other fixed potentials.
[0055] In some embodiments, the second shielding portion 213 may include a conductive material. In this way, the second shielding portion 213 has conductive properties. In some embodiments, the second shielding portion 213 may also include a conductive material and a doping material to improve the conductivity of the second shielding portion 213. Exemplarily, the second shielding portion 213 may include polysilicon and a doping material.
[0056] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes a first gate lead-out structure 41 , which is located on the first surface 1A1 and contacts the first gate portion 211 . Thus, the first gate portion 211 is connected to the gate potential through the first gate lead-out structure 41 .
[0057] In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer 1 further includes a first column region 1D1 of the first conductivity type and a second column region 1D2 of the second conductivity type. In the first direction Y, the first column region 1D1 and the second column region 1D2 are located on the side of the first surface 1A1 away from the first trench gate structure 21. The first column region 1D1 and the second column region 1D2 are adjacent to each other in the second direction X, and the first column region 1D1 and the second column region 1D2 extend along the first direction Y. In this way, the first column region 1D1 and the second column region 1D2 of opposite conductivity types form a super junction structure, which greatly reduces the conduction voltage drop of the semiconductor device 100. In addition, a better compromise between the forward conduction voltage drop and the turn-off loss can be achieved. At the same voltage level of 1200V, the drift region 1D length of the IGBT including the super junction structure can be reduced by 10% to 20% compared with the FS-IGBT (Field Stop, FS). During the turn-off process, the mutual depletion of the first column region 1D1 and the second column region 1D2 can accelerate the extraction of carriers, further reducing the turn-off loss of the semiconductor device 100.
[0058] The first stud region 1D1 of the first conductivity type and the second stud region 1D2 of the second conductivity type are located in the drift region 1D, and the first stud region 1D1 and the second stud region 1D2 are alternately arranged along the second direction X.
[0059] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes a second gate trench 132 and a body region 31 of the first conductivity type and a second trench gate structure 22 located in the semiconductor layer 1. The second gate trench 132 is recessed from the first surface 1A1 to the second surface 1A2 and extends toward the second column region 1D2. The second trench gate structure 22 is located in the second gate trench 132. The body region 31 is located between the first trench gate structure 21 and the second trench gate structure 22. In this way, when a voltage is applied to the gate in the second trench gate structure 22, a conductive channel can be formed on one side of the body region 31 close to the second trench gate structure 22.
[0060] In some embodiments, the second trench gate structure 22 includes a second gate portion 221, and the second gate portion 221 includes a third gate doping portion 2211 and a fourth gate doping portion 2212 stacked in the first direction Y, and the conductivity types of the doped ions in the third gate doping portion 2211 and the fourth gate doping portion 2212 are opposite. In this way, the third gate doping portion 2211 and the fourth gate doping portion 2212 constitute a second PN junction capacitor, and the gate-drain capacitor between the second gate portion 221 and the drain is in series with the second PN junction capacitor. The two capacitors are connected in series, the capacitance is reduced, the total gate-drain capacitance is reduced, and the switching loss of the semiconductor device 100 is further reduced.
[0061] In some other embodiments, the second gate portion 221 may also include a conductive material without doping ions or only doping ions of one conductive type.
[0062] In some embodiments, the second trench gate structure 22 further includes a second gate dielectric layer 222, and the second gate dielectric layer 222 is filled between the second gate portion 221 and the wall of the second gate trench 132. In this way, insulation between the second gate portion 221 and the semiconductor layer 1 is achieved.
[0063] The semiconductor device 100 further includes an emitter region 32 located in the semiconductor. The emitter region 32 is located between the first trench gate structure 21 and the second trench gate structure 22. The emitter region 32 is located between the body region 31 and the first surface 1A1 and is adjacent to the body region 31. The emitter 44 is located on the first surface 1A1 and is in contact with the emitter region 32. In some embodiments, the emitter region 32 includes a first emitter region 321 of a first conductivity type and a second emitter region 322 of a second conductivity type adjacent to each other along the second direction X. Exemplarily, the emitter region 32 includes two second emitter regions 322 and one first emitter region 321, and the first emitter region 321 is located between the two second emitter regions 322 in the second direction X.
[0064] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes a second conductivity type carrier storage layer 35 located inside the semiconductor. The carrier storage layer 35 is located between the first trench gate structure 21 and the second trench gate structure 22. In the second direction X, the carrier storage layer 35 is located between the body region 31 and the second column region 1D2. The concentration of doped ions in the carrier storage layer 35 is greater than the concentration of doped ions in the second column. In this way, a second conductivity type carrier storage layer 35 is added to the bottom of the first conductivity type body region 31, which prevents holes from flowing directly from the emitter 44. The higher concentration of the carrier storage layer 35 acts as an effective hole barrier, increases the carrier concentration on one side of the emitter 44, makes the conductivity modulation effect more intense, and further reduces the forward conduction voltage drop.
[0065] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes a second gate lead-out structure 42 , which is located on the first surface 1A1 and connected to the second gate portion 221 . Thus, the second gate portion 221 is connected to the gate potential through the second gate lead-out structure 42 .
[0066] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes a third gate trench 133 and a first conductivity type depletion region 34 and a third trench gate structure 23 located in the semiconductor layer 1. The third gate trench 133 is recessed from the first surface 1A1 to the second surface 1A2 and extends toward the first column region 1D1. The third trench gate structure 23 is located in the third gate trench 133. The depletion region 34 is located between the first trench gate structure 21 and the third trench gate structure 23. Thus, when the semiconductor device 100 is turned on, the majority carrier holes in the depletion region 34 will be depleted under the two positive voltages loaded on the gates in the first trench gate structure 21 and the third trench gate structure 23, which will repel the majority carrier holes and further allow the minority carrier electrons in the depletion region 34 to form an inversion layer, thereby preventing the majority carrier holes from flowing out. Therefore, when the semiconductor device 100 is turned on, a large number of holes will accumulate between the first trench gate structure 21 and the third trench gate structure 23, forcing the electron injection of the collector 6 region to be enhanced, which will aggravate the conductivity modulation effect and reduce the forward conduction voltage drop. At the same time, the sensitivity of the semiconductor device 100 to the doping concentration of the first column region 1D1 and the second column region 1D2 is also reduced, and the semiconductor device 100 can maintain the bipolar conduction mode within the doping range of the larger doping concentration of the first column region 1D1 and the second column region 1D2. In addition, when the semiconductor device 100 is turned off, the gate is not pressurized, the collector 6 is pressurized, and the depletion region 34 and the first column region 1D1 will form a normal hole channel, which accelerates the extraction of holes, reduces the forward conduction voltage drop while also reducing the turn-off loss, thereby achieving a compromise relationship between reducing the forward conduction voltage drop and the turn-off loss.
[0067] In some embodiments, the concentration of doping ions of the depletion region 34 is less than the concentration of doping ions of the first stud region 1D1 .
[0068] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes an ohmic contact region 33 of the first conductivity type and a lead-out structure 46. The ohmic contact region 33 is located between the first trench gate structure 21 and the third trench gate structure 23, and the ohmic contact region 33 is located between the depletion region 34 and the first surface 1A1 in the first direction Y and is adjacent to the depletion region 34. The lead-out structure 46 is located on the first surface 1A1 and contacts the ohmic contact region 33. The lead-out structure 46 is connected to the emitter 44. In this way, when the semiconductor device 100 is turned off, the holes in the depletion region 34 and the first column region 1D1 can be led out through the emitter 44.
[0069] In some embodiments, the concentration of doping ions in the ohmic contact region 33 is greater than the concentration of doping ions in the first stud region 1D1 and the concentration of doping ions in the depletion region 34 .
[0070] In some embodiments, the concentration of doping ions in the ohmic contact region 33 is the same as the concentration of doping ions in the first emitter region 321. In this way, the ohmic contact region 33 and the first emitter region 321 can be formed, simplifying the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 100.
[0071] In other embodiments, the lead-out structure 46 may directly contact the depletion region 34 .
[0072] In some embodiments, in the second direction X, the first gate portion 211 is located between the depletion region 34 and the first shielding portion 212. Thus, the first gate portion 211 is disposed close to the depletion region 34, and when the semiconductor device 100 is turned on, the first gate portion 211 can better act on the depletion region 34 to reduce the forward conduction voltage drop.
[0073] In some embodiments, the third trench gate structure 23 includes a third gate portion 231, and the third gate portion 231 includes a fifth gate doping portion 2311 and a sixth gate doping portion 2312 stacked in the first direction Y, and the conductivity types of the doped ions in the fifth gate doping portion 2311 and the sixth gate doping portion 2312 are opposite. In this way, the fifth gate doping portion 2311 and the sixth gate doping portion 2312 constitute a third PN junction capacitor, and the gate-drain capacitor between the third gate portion 231 and the drain is in series with the third PN junction capacitor. When the two capacitors are connected in series, the capacitance is reduced, the total gate-drain capacitance is reduced, and the switching loss of the semiconductor device 100 is further reduced.
[0074] In some other embodiments, the third gate portion 231 may also include a conductive material without doping ions or only doping ions of one conductive type.
[0075] In some embodiments, the third trench gate structure 23 may further include a third gate dielectric layer 232 , and the third gate dielectric layer 232 is filled between the third gate portion 231 and the wall of the third gate trench 133 . In this way, the third gate portion 231 and the semiconductor layer 1 are electrically isolated.
[0076] In some embodiments, the first gate dielectric layer 214, the second gate dielectric layer 222, and the third gate dielectric layer 232 include an insulating material, and the insulating material includes at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride.
[0077] In some embodiments, the first gate trench 131 , the second gate trench 132 , and the third gate trench 133 may have the same depth along the first direction Y. Thus, the first gate trench 131 , the second gate trench 132 , and the third gate trench 133 may be formed in the same etching process, simplifying the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 100 .
[0078] In some embodiments, the first gate portion 211 , the second gate portion 221 , and the third gate portion 231 include conductive materials such as polysilicon.
[0079] In some embodiments, when the first trench gate structure 21 includes the second shielding portion 213, the second gate portion 221 includes the third gate doping portion 2211 and the fourth gate doping portion 2212 stacked in the first direction Y, and the third gate portion 231 includes the fifth gate doping portion 2311 and the sixth gate doping portion 2312 stacked in the first direction Y, the fourth gate doping portion 2212 is located on the side of the third gate doping portion 2211 away from the second surface 1A2, and the sixth gate doping portion 2312 is located on the side of the fifth gate doping portion 2311 away from the second surface 1A2. The second shielding portion 213, the third gate doping portion 2211, and the fifth gate doping portion 2311 have doping ions of the same conductivity type. In this way, the second shielding portion 213, the third gate doping portion 2211, and the fifth gate doping portion 2311 can be formed at the same time, and the fourth gate doping portion 2212 and the sixth gate doping portion 2312 can be formed at the same time, simplifying the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 100.
[0080] In some implementations, the second shielding portion 213 , the third gate doping portion 2211 , and the fifth gate doping portion 2311 have doping ions of the first conductivity type, and the fourth gate doping portion 2212 and the sixth gate doping portion 2312 have doping ions of the second conductivity type.
