DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0052] In order to solve the above problems, a first embodiment of the present invention proposes a terminal structure, which can improve the voltage resistance and reduce the risk of premature breakdown of the terminal structure.

[0053] Reference below Figure 1 The terminal structure of the embodiment of the present invention is described as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the terminal structure 100 includes a substrate 2, an epitaxial layer 1 of a first conductivity type, an ion concentration adjustment region 20 of a second conductivity type, and at least one doping column 12 of the second conductivity type.

[0054] Among them, an epitaxial layer 1 of the first conductivity type grows on a substrate 2 in a first direction perpendicular to the substrate; an ion concentration adjustment region 20 of the second conductivity type is located in the epitaxial layer 1 and close to the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 1; a doped column 12 of the second conductivity type is located in the epitaxial layer 1 and close to the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 1, and at least part of the doped column 12 is located in the adjustment region.

[0055] Here, the first conductivity type may be N type, and the second conductivity type may be P. Optionally, the substrate 2 may be an N type doped substrate, and the doping concentration of the N type doped substrate is 4×10 14 cm -3 , the doping concentration of the N-type doped epitaxial layer 1 is 4×10 13 cm -3 , the thickness of the epitaxial layer 1 is 90 μm.

[0056] In the actual use of the terminal structure, when the terminal structure is externally biased, the holes in the ion concentration adjustment zone of the second conductivity type will be completely depleted, leaving only immovable negative charges, which makes the direction of the electric field formed by the part of the ion concentration adjustment zone of the second conductivity type connected to its external voltage opposite to the original electric field direction. These immovable negative charges make the depletion region of the part connected to the external voltage of the ion concentration adjustment zone expand outward, increasing the radius of curvature of the part connected to the external voltage of the ion concentration adjustment zone, thereby reducing the electric field of the part connected to the external voltage of the ion concentration adjustment zone. However, the withstand voltage of the power device is very sensitive to the dose and interface state of the ion concentration adjustment zone of the second conductivity type. It is a great challenge to accurately control the ion dose injected into the ion concentration adjustment zone of the second conductivity type in the process. When the ion implantation dose of the ion concentration adjustment zone is low, there are not enough immovable negative charges in the ion concentration adjustment zone to offset the electric field in the original direction, so it will break down in advance near the part connected to the external voltage of the ion concentration adjustment zone. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the terminal structure 100 of the present application is provided with at least one doping column 12 in the epitaxial layer 1 and close to the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 1, and part of the doping column 12 is provided in the ion concentration adjustment zone 20. Thus, the dosage window of the ion concentration adjustment zone of the second conductive type is designed to become wider, so that the total amount of injected charge of the doping column 12 of the second conductive type and the ion concentration adjustment zone 20 of the second conductive type can provide sufficient negative charge to attract the electric field directed to the part connected to the external voltage of the ion concentration adjustment zone. That is to say, the electric field is adjusted based on the introduced doping column 12 of the second conductive type. When the ion dose of the ion concentration adjustment zone is low, even if the ion concentration adjustment zone does not have enough immovable negative charge to offset the electric field in the original direction, the doping column can provide sufficient negative charge to attract the electric field, thereby achieving the purpose of sharing the electric field, improving the voltage resistance, and reducing the risk of premature breakdown of the terminal structure.

[0057] According to the terminal structure 100 of the present invention, at least one doping column 12 is arranged in the epitaxial layer 1 and close to the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 1, and part of the doping column 12 is arranged in the ion concentration adjustment area 20. Therefore, when the ion dosage of the ion concentration adjustment area 20 is low, even if the ion concentration adjustment area 20 does not have enough immovable negative charges to offset the electric field in the original direction, the doping column 12 can provide enough negative charges to attract the electric field, thereby achieving the purpose of sharing the electric field, improving the voltage resistance, and reducing the risk of premature breakdown of the terminal structure 100.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the terminal structure 100 includes a main junction 4, which is located in the epitaxial layer 1 and close to the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 1, and the main junction and the ion concentration adjustment region 20 are arranged along a second direction parallel to the substrate; the doped column is located on one side of the ion concentration adjustment region close to the main junction. The doped column can prevent the main junction 4 from being broken down prematurely.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 As shown, the ion concentration adjustment region 20 includes a first junction terminal extension structure 23, namely a JTE region 23. In the second direction, the first junction terminal extension structure 23 contacts the main junction 4, and the second conductive type doped column 12 is located in the first junction terminal extension structure 23 and close to the main junction 4.

[0060] Specifically, the JTE region 23 may be a single-region JTE structure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the JTE region 23 has two electric field peaks, one on the main junction surface and the other on the curved junction at the end of the JTE region. If the ion implantation dose of the JTE region 23 is too small, the JTE region 23 will be depleted prematurely, the main junction will not be effectively protected, and breakdown will occur on the main junction surface. Therefore, by introducing the doped column 12 in the JTE region 23, such as the doped column 12 is arranged on the left side of the JTE region 23, the JTE region 23 will be prevented from being depleted prematurely, and more negative charges can be provided after depletion to share the electric field of the main junction, thereby improving its voltage resistance and widening the process window.

[0061] In some embodiments, since the breakdown voltage of a single JTE region is very sensitive to the JTE dose (dose = concentration / depth), once the optimal JTE dose is deviated, its performance will drop sharply, which requires precise control of the injected JTE dose in the process, otherwise the withstand voltage of the device will change significantly. In order to reduce the sensitivity of the breakdown voltage of a single JTE region to the JTE dose, a dual-region JTE structure is proposed, that is, the JTE region 23 includes a first JTE region 5 and a second JTE region 6, such as Figure 1 Therefore, based on the fact that the modulation capability of the surface electric field of the dual-zone or multi-zone JTE is stronger than that of the single-zone JTE, and the dual-zone or multi-zone JTE can improve the withstand voltage of the terminal better than the single-zone JTE, the dual-zone JTE structure adopted in the present application can effectively widen the JTE dose window.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the ion concentration adjustment region 20 includes a second junction terminal extension structure 5 and a third junction terminal extension structure 6. In the second direction, the second junction terminal extension structure and the third junction terminal extension structure are both in contact with the main junction, and the third junction terminal extension structure surrounds the bottom surface of the second junction terminal extension structure and the side surface of the second junction terminal extension structure away from the main junction, that is, the second JTE region 5 is formed on the third JTE region 6. The doped column is located in the second junction terminal extension structure and close to the main junction.

[0063] Specifically, considering that at high doses, such as when the dose of the second JTE region is much greater than the dose of the third JTE region, the second TE region cannot largely share the electric field of the second JTE region, resulting in a very high peak value of the electric field at the end of the second JTE region. The second JTE region 5 is formed on the third JTE region 6 to form a stepped JTE terminal structure. The stepped JTE terminal structure can alleviate the electric field at the end of the second JTE region 5 at high doses and increase the JTE dose window. The stepped JTE terminal structure is particularly effective in improving the withstand voltage at high doses.

[0064] However, due to the weak ability of the JTE region to alleviate the electric field at the edge of the main junction at a low dose, the device breaks down prematurely due to excessive electric field strength at the edge of the main junction. At the same time, the terminal structure needs to produce step-type masks of different thicknesses, so that there is no need to use different injection energies to achieve the injection depth, that is, a step-type JTE region can be formed by a single injection of energy, but this mask is difficult to control in terms of process. Generally, a cutoff ring is used at the tail of the terminal to prevent the depletion region from being depleted to the dicing track. The distance between the depletion region and the cutoff ring must be long enough to avoid leakage, which will result in a longer terminal length, a larger chip area used, and higher costs. In addition, excessive terminal length will also increase leakage current. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the terminal structure 100 of the present application uses two different JTE doses to form a dual-zone JTE, namely the second JTE zone 5 and the third JTE zone 6, so that when there is a dose deviation, the electric field distribution of the entire terminal structure can be made more uniform, the JTE dose window is increased, and the wider the JTE dose window, the lower the sensitivity of the terminal structure to the JTE dose, and the process does not need to accurately control the JTE dose, which reduces the process requirements and makes the process easier to implement. In addition, the terminal structure 100 does not need to be implemented using a special mask process, and the process is simple.

[0065] In addition, in the embodiment, the present application sets the second conductive type doping column 12 to be located in the second JTE region 5, referring to Figure 1 As shown, two doping columns 12 are introduced on the left side of the second JTE region 5. When the concentration of the JTE region is relatively low, the doping columns 12 can play a role in regulating the electric field at the edge of the main junction, thereby reducing the electric field at the main junction when the JTE dose is relatively low and alleviating the high electric field near the main junction.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the doping thickness of the second JTE region 5 is less than the doping thickness of the third JTE region 6, and along the second direction, the length of the second JTE region 5 is less than the length of the third JTE region 6; and / or, the doping concentration of the second JTE region 5 is higher than the doping concentration of the third JTE region 6. Preferably, the doping concentration of the JTE region is in the order of 12 to 13.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the doping concentration of the second JTE region 5 is C2, wherein C2 satisfies: 6×10 12 cm -3 ≤C2≤8×10 13 cm -3 With such configuration, the doping concentration of the second JTE region 5 is appropriate, which can satisfy both the device withstand voltage requirements for the JTE dosage and interface state, and the charge requirements.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the doping concentration of the third JTE region 6 is C3, wherein C3 satisfies: 2×10 12 cm -3 ≤C3≤6×10 13 cm -3 With such configuration, the doping concentration of the third JTE region 6 is appropriate, which can satisfy both the device withstand voltage requirements for the JTE dosage and interface state, and the charge requirements.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 3 As shown, the ion concentration adjustment region 20 may include a lateral variable doping structure 21, in which the lateral variable doping structure is in contact with the main junction in the second direction, and the thickness of the lateral variable doping structure in the first direction gradually decreases from one end close to the main junction to an end away from the main junction; the doping column is located in the lateral variable doping structure and close to the main junction.

[0070] That is to say, the present application changes the JTE uniform doping area of ​​the lateral variable doping structure 21 area into a non-uniform distribution, which can be regarded as a combination of countless small JTE areas with different charge amounts, which is similar to the withstand voltage principle of the JTE area. When the ion implantation dose of the lateral variable doping structure 21 is low, the amount of charge injected into the lateral variable doping structure 21 near the main junction cannot provide enough negative charge, and the light doping at the end of the lateral variable doping structure 21 can reduce the peak electric field of the curved junction, which will break down in advance near the main junction 4 area. Therefore, by introducing a high-doping column 12 near the main junction, the total amount of injected charge near the main junction 4 can provide enough negative charge to attract the electric field pointing to the main junction, thereby improving the withstand voltage capability, and the light doping at the end of the lateral variable doping structure 21 can also better reduce the peak electric field, prevent premature breakdown, and reduce the requirements for the process.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, there can be multiple doped columns 12 of the second conductivity type, and the multiple doped columns all extend along a first direction perpendicular to the substrate, and the multiple doped columns are arranged at intervals along the second direction. In this way, the ability of the doped columns 12 to adjust the electric field can be improved by increasing the number of doped columns 12.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the ion concentration adjustment region 20 is in a higher JTE dose range, as the number of the second conductivity type doping columns 12 increases, the closer to the edge of the ion concentration adjustment region 20, the electric field concentration effect will appear at the edge of the last second conductivity type doping column, thereby affecting the breakdown voltage of the device; and considering that when the ion concentration adjustment region 20 is in a low JTE dose range, the more the number of the second conductivity type doping columns 12, the better, but the situation in the medium JTE dose range must also be taken into account, therefore, preferably, the number of the doping columns 12 is 2 or 3.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, the widths of the multiple second conductivity type doped columns along the second direction are the same. Such an arrangement is convenient for operation and has a low process difficulty. It is also convenient to adjust the number of the second conductivity type doped columns in combination with the width of the second conductivity type doped columns.

[0074] It should be noted that the larger the width of the doped column of the second conductivity type, the larger the terminal area occupied, especially when the doped columns of the second conductivity type are all located inside the ion concentration adjustment zone, which means that the terminal length occupied by the doped columns of the second conductivity type is fixed. The larger the width of the doped column of the second conductivity type, the fewer the number of doped columns of the second conductivity type, and the lower the ability to adjust the electric field. Therefore, the width of the doped column of the second conductivity type should be appropriately selected.

[0075] It should be noted that the reference Figure 1 As shown, the width of each doped column 12 is consistent, and the larger the width of the doped column 12, the larger the terminal area it occupies. Since the doped columns 12 are all located inside the first JTE region 5, this means that the terminal length occupied by the doped columns 12 is fixed, and the larger the width of the doped columns 12, the fewer the number of doped columns 12, and the lower the ability to adjust the electric field, so the width of the doped columns 12 should be appropriately selected.

[0076] In an embodiment, the doping concentration and depth of the doping column 12 are consistent with the main junction 4, that is, the doping column 12 and the main junction 4 can be formed simultaneously, for example, by simultaneously injecting boron ions, and the doping concentration can be on the order of 14.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 4 As shown, the ion concentration adjustment region includes at least one field limiting ring structure 22, at least one of the field limiting ring structures and the main junction are arranged at intervals in the second direction, part of the second conductive type doped columns 12 are located in the field limiting ring structure 22, and in the second direction, the doped columns are close to the side of the field limiting ring structure close to the main junction.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple field limiting ring structures 22, and the multiple field limiting ring structures 22 are arranged at intervals along the second direction. The multiple doped columns are arranged corresponding to the multiple field limiting ring structures, and a portion of each doped column is located in the corresponding field limiting ring structure.

[0079] That is, as shown in the figure, a doped column 12 is added to the left side of each field limiting ring structure 22, and the ion implantation dose of the field limiting ring structure 22 is lower than the ion implantation dose of the doped column 12. The field limiting ring structure 22 can maintain a relatively larger breakdown voltage by using a lower dose, because the low-concentration field limiting ring structure 22 will allow the depletion region to expand wider toward the surface, and the surface electric field will increase, while the introduction of a high-concentration doped column 12 can increase the surface concentration and prevent the surface electric field from being too large. Therefore, when the concentration of the field limiting ring structure 22 is slightly lower, the doped column 12 can provide more negative charges after depletion, share the electric field of the main junction and the previous field limiting ring structure 22, and thus improve its withstand voltage capability.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, when the ion concentration adjustment region 20 includes the JTE region 23 or the lateral doping structure 21 , the JTE region 23 or the lateral doping structure 21 is in contact with the main junction 4 , and the second conductivity type doping column 12 is spaced apart from the main junction 4 .

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 4 As shown, when the ion concentration adjustment region 20 includes the field limiting ring structure 22 , the ion concentration adjustment region 20 is spaced apart from the main junction 4 .

[0082] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between the doped column closest to the main junction among the multiple doped columns and the main junction can be set to d1. Specifically, as shown in the figure, the multiple doped columns of the second conductivity type are arranged along the first direction from the side of the ion concentration adjustment region 20 close to the main junction, wherein the first doped column of the second conductivity type close to the main junction is the first doped column of the second conductivity type, and the spacing between the first doped column of the second conductivity type and the main junction 4 is d1, wherein d1 satisfies: 4μm≤d1≤5μm.

[0083] Specifically, if d1 is less than 4μm, the distance between the first doped column of the second conductivity type and the main junction is small, and the first doped column of the second conductivity type is very close to the main junction. At a lower reverse bias, a punch-through may occur between the two, thereby enhancing the electric field concentration effect at the edge of the doped column of the second conductivity type; if d1 is greater than 5μm, the farther the first doped column of the second conductivity type is from the main junction, the weaker the ability of the doped column of the second conductivity type to share the electric field at the main junction. Therefore, considering the influence of the distance between the first doped column of the second conductivity type and the main junction 4 on the breakdown voltage of the device, the present application reasonably sets d1 to satisfy 4μm≤d1≤5μm, thereby taking into account the electric field concentration effect and the ability to share the electric field. Optionally, d1 is 4μm, 4.1μm, 4.2μm, 4.3μm, 4.4μm, 4.5μm, 4.6μm, 4.7μm, 4.8μm, 4.9μm or 5.0μm. But not limited to this.

[0084] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second conductivity type doped column is a heavily doped column. The second conductivity type doped column is formed by implanting boron ions, and the boron ion doping dose of the second conductivity type doped column is on the order of 14.

[0085] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the main junction is a heavily doped main junction. The main junction is formed by implanting boron ions, and the boron ion doping dose of the main junction is on the order of 14.

[0086] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the doping concentration of the second conductivity type doped column and the main junction is the same. In this way, the doping concentration of the second conductivity type doped column and the main junction is the same, which is conducive to promoting the doping column of the second conductivity type to balance the electric field.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the doping concentration of the second conductivity type doping column and the doping concentration of the main junction are C1, where C1 satisfies: 2×10 14 cm -3 ≤C1≤6×10 14 cm -3 With such arrangement, the doping concentrations of the second conductivity type doping column and the main junction are appropriate, the regulating effect on the electric field is stronger, and the cost is lower.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the terminal structure 100 further includes a trench stop ring 14 and a filling material. In the second direction, the main junction, the ion concentration adjustment region and the trench stop ring are arranged at intervals.

[0089] Among them, along the second direction, the trench stop ring 14 is located in the epitaxial layer 1 and close to the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 1; in the first direction, the trench stop ring 14 is located on the right side of the ion concentration adjustment area 20 and is spaced apart from the ion concentration adjustment area 20; the filling material is located in the trench stop ring. Such a setting adopts a stop ring to prevent the depletion region from being consumed to the scribe line, and uses a deep groove to cut off the depletion layer to affect the surface electric field distribution, thereby preventing the depletion region from being consumed to the scribe line to form a leakage channel, and at the same time, it can reduce the width of the terminal area, occupy a smaller chip, and save costs.

[0090] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the filling material is polysilicon, or the filling material is SiO2 or a low dielectric constant insulating medium, so as to ensure the insulation effect.

[0091] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the trench stop ring 14 is located at the rightmost side of the epitaxial layer 1, and the depth of the trench stop ring 14 is greater than or equal to the depth of the depletion layer where the trench stop ring 14 is located. The material in the trench stop ring 14 is polysilicon poly Si, preferably N-type heavily doped polysilicon, and the entire trench can be filled by deposition.

[0092] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the terminal structure 100 includes a first conductivity type doped stop ring 7 , which is located on the outer surface of the side wall and the outer surface of the bottom wall of the trench stop ring 14 .

[0093] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.12 As shown, when the filling material is SiO 2 or a low dielectric constant insulating medium, the terminal structure 100 includes a second conductivity type doped stop ring 16 and a first conductivity type doped stop ring 17 .

[0094] Among them, the doped cut-off ring 16 of the second conductivity type is located on the outer surface of the side wall and the outer surface of the bottom wall of the trench cut-off ring 14; the cut-off ring 17 of the first conductivity type is located in the epitaxial layer and close to the upper surface of the epitaxial layer. In the second direction, the cut-off ring of the first conductivity type is located on the side of the doped cut-off ring away from the ion concentration adjustment area and is spaced from the doped cut-off ring. Thus, by using a cut-off ring at the rightmost end of the terminal structure to prevent the depletion region from being consumed to the scribe path, and adding a trench cut-off ring at the end of the terminal, the deep groove is used to cut off the depletion layer to affect the surface electric field distribution, and the depletion region is prevented from being exhausted to the scribe path to form a leakage channel. At the same time, the width of the terminal area can be reduced, the chip occupied is smaller, and the cost is saved.

[0095] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the terminal structure 100 further includes a doped base region 3 of the second conductivity type, a collector 11 , an emitter 8 , an oxide layer 9 and a metal stop ring 10 .

[0096] Among them, the doped base region 3 of the second conductivity type is located on the side of the substrate 2 away from the epitaxial layer 1 of the first conductivity type; the collector 11 is located on the side of the doped base region 3 of the second conductivity type away from the substrate 2; the emitter 8 is located on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 1 of the first conductivity type, and in the first direction, is located at the left end of the epitaxial layer 1 of the first conductivity type, and is in contact with the main junction 4; the oxide layer 9 is formed on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer 1 of the first conductivity type, and in the first direction, one end of the oxide layer 9 extends to the emitter 8, and the other end extends to be flush with the epitaxial layer 1 of the first conductivity type; the metal stop ring 10 is located on the upper surface of the oxide layer 9, and in the first direction is located at one end of the oxide layer 9 corresponding to the trench stop ring, for example, in the figure, it is located at the right end of the oxide layer 9.

The oxide layer can be formed by deposition, and its material can be SiO2 or BPSG (boron phosphorus silicon glass). The emitter and the metal cutoff ring can be metals or alloys, and the preparation method is sputtering and alloying Alloy, preferably aluminum-copper alloy AlSi or AlSiCu.

A photoresist is then spin-coated on the mask 15. Finally, the mask on the designated drift region is removed by a photolithography process, and a multi-step P-type ion implantation is performed on the region not protected by the mask, thereby forming a second JTE region 6, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 Then, the photoresist is removed, and then a mask 15 is grown on the surface of the N-type epitaxial drift region 1, and then a photoresist is applied to the mask 15, and then a higher dose of P-type ion implantation is performed after exposure and development, thereby forming a first JTE1 region 5, as shown Figure 6 As shown; Figure 6 A mask 15 is continuously grown on the surface of the structure shown in the figure, and then a photolithography process is performed to form a Figure 7 The mask shape shown in the figure is then used to perform high-dose P-type ion implantation to simultaneously form highly doped doped columns.
