[0056] S1: providing a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a front side and a back side arranged opposite to each other;

[0057] S2: performing ion implantation on the front surface of the substrate to form an anode region and a terminal region;

[0058] S3: forming an oxide layer and a passivation layer in sequence on the front surface of the substrate;

[0062] Figures 2 to 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of each step of the method for manufacturing a fast recovery diode provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , Figures 2 to 8 The method for manufacturing the fast recovery diode provided in the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.

[0063] In step S1, refer to Figure 2 As shown, a substrate 10 is provided, wherein the substrate 10 includes a front surface and a back surface that are oppositely arranged.

[0064] Figure 2 In the figure, the top of the substrate 10 is the front side of the substrate 10 , and the bottom of the substrate 10 is the back side of the substrate 10 .

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 10 includes an N-type substrate and an N-type base layer located on the N-type substrate, wherein the N-type substrate is a high-concentration N+ silicon layer, and the N-type base layer is a low-concentration N- silicon layer. The side of the N-type base layer away from the N-type substrate serves as the front side of the substrate 10, and the side of the N-type substrate away from the N-type base layer serves as the back side of the substrate 10. Subsequently, a P-type anode region is formed in the N-type base layer to form a PN-N+ structure, and then the reverse recovery time is reduced by minority carrier lifetime control technology such as platinum diffusion or irradiation.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, an N-type buffer layer may be formed between the N-type base layer and the N-type substrate, that is, a medium-concentration N-type buffer layer is first epitaxially formed on the high-concentration N-type substrate, and then a low-concentration N-type base layer is epitaxially formed on the medium-concentration N-type buffer layer, thereby reducing the on-state voltage drop and increasing the softness of the reverse recovery time.

[0067] In step S2, please continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, ion implantation is performed on the front surface of the substrate 10 to form an anode region 11 and a terminal region 12 .

[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first photoresist layer is formed on the front side of the substrate 10, and the first photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a patterned first photoresist layer, wherein the patterned first photoresist layer exposes a predetermined area for ion implantation, i.e., the patterned first photoresist layer forms an ion implantation window. Then, ion implantation is performed on the front side of the substrate 10 using the patterned first photoresist layer as a mask, and an anode region 11 and a terminal region 12 are formed in the substrate 10, and then the patterned first photoresist layer is removed. Of course, a mask layer may also be formed between the first photoresist layer and the substrate 10, and the mask layer may be etched using the patterned first photoresist layer as a mask to form a patterned mask layer, and then the patterned first photoresist layer may be removed, and ion implantation is performed on the front side of the substrate 10 using the patterned mask layer as a mask, and then the patterned mask layer may be removed.

[0069] Exemplarily, P-type ion implantation is performed on the front surface of the substrate 10 .

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal region 12 is formed by using a lateral variable doping technology (VLD), that is, a VLD structure terminal is formed. By changing the size of the doping injection opening, the doping impurity concentration and junction depth after annealing are changed, thereby forming a P-type region with a varying doping concentration and junction depth in the lateral direction, so as to improve the main junction electric field and enhance the terminal withstand voltage.

[0071] After ion implantation and removal of the patterned first photoresist layer, the substrate 10 is annealed, for example, at a temperature of 1050° C. to 1250° C. in a nitrogen environment, to finally form the anode region 11 and the terminal region 12 .

[0072] In step S3, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an oxide layer 13 and a passivation layer are sequentially formed on the front surface of the substrate 10 .

[0073] First, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the oxide layer 13 is formed on the front side of the substrate 10, and the oxide layer 13 covers the substrate 10. Exemplarily, the oxide layer 13 can be formed by any suitable process such as thermal oxidation process, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), etc. The material of the oxide layer 13 includes but is not limited to silicon oxide. In one embodiment, the oxide layer 13 is formed by a thermal oxidation process, and the material of the oxide layer 13 is silicon oxide.

[0074] Then, a passivation layer is formed on the oxide layer 13. In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the passivation layer includes a first passivation layer 14 and a second passivation layer 15. The material of the first passivation layer 14 includes but is not limited to a BPSG layer, and the material of the second passivation layer 15 includes but is not limited to PA (Passivation, usually a silicon-containing material).

[0075] Exemplarily, the first passivation layer 14 is formed on the oxide layer 13 by any suitable process such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, etc. After the deposition process, high-temperature reflow is required, for example, reflow at a high temperature of 900°C to 1100°C, to finally form a BPSG layer.

[0076] Then, a PA layer is formed on the BPSG layer. The PA layer is, for example, an inorganic oxide, nitride or oxynitride of silicon. In this embodiment, the PA layer includes a silicon dioxide layer and / or a silicon nitride layer, and can be formed by any suitable process such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, etc.

[0077] In step S4, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the passivation layer and the oxide layer 13 are etched in sequence to form a contact hole 16 exposing the anode region 11 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the second passivation layer 15 , the first passivation layer 14 , and the oxide layer 13 are sequentially etched until the anode region 11 on the front side of the substrate 10 is exposed, thereby forming a contact hole 16 .

[0079] Exemplarily, a second photoresist layer is formed on the surface of the second passivation layer 15, and the second photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a patterned second photoresist layer. Using the patterned second photoresist layer as a mask, the second passivation layer 15, the first passivation layer 14 and the oxide layer 13 are etched in sequence to form the contact hole 16, and then the patterned second photoresist layer is removed.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the oxide layer 13 is formed, the passivation layer is directly formed, and then the passivation layer and the oxide layer 13 are etched to form the contact hole 16, and there is no need to perform photolithography on the oxide layer separately after the oxide layer is formed as in the prior art, thereby saving a mask. In addition, in the present embodiment, the photolithography etching of the alignment mark is omitted by increasing the offset between the contact hole 16 and the anode area 11, thereby saving a mask for forming the alignment mark, that is, in the present embodiment, the mask is not used for exposure to form the alignment mark, and the alignment of the contact hole 16 and the anode area 11 is completed by increasing the offset between the contact hole 16 and the anode area 11, thereby saving the number of masks and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0081] In step S5, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, a front metal layer 17 is formed on the front side of the substrate 10 , and the front metal layer 17 fills the contact hole 16 and contacts the anode region 11 .

[0082] The front metal layer 17 may be formed by a magnetron sputtering process or a metal deposition process. The material of the front metal layer 17 includes but is not limited to aluminum.

[0083] In one embodiment, a front metal material layer is formed, the front metal material layer fills the contact hole 16 and covers the second passivation layer 15, then a third photoresist layer is formed on the front metal material layer, the third photoresist layer is exposed and developed using a mask to form a patterned third photoresist layer, the front metal material layer is etched using the patterned third photoresist layer as a mask until a portion of the passivation layer is exposed to form a front metal layer 17, and then the patterned third photoresist layer is removed. The front metal layer 17 exposes a portion of the second passivation layer 15 on both sides of the contact hole 16.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal region 12 is formed by using the lateral variable doping technology, and the deposition of the passivation layer is completed before forming the front metal layer 16, which saves a mask without affecting the reliability, and further reduces the manufacturing cost. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, a VLD structure terminal is used, and the electric field strength at the edge of the front metal layer 17 is controlled by ion implantation (ion implantation in step S1), and the corrosion of the metal in moisture is reduced, so that the deposition of the PA layer can be completed first, and then the metal layer is deposited, thereby saving a mask (saving the photolithography etching of the PA layer) and not affecting the reliability.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown, after forming the front metal layer 17 , the method further includes: forming a polyimide (PI) layer 18 , wherein the polyimide layer 18 covers a portion of the front metal layer 17 and fills the second passivation layer 15 exposed between adjacent front metal layers 17 .

[0086] The polyimide layer 18 has good electrical properties, chemical resistance, mechanical and thermodynamic stability, and can improve the reliability of the device as a protective layer together with the PA layer. In one embodiment of the present invention, a polyimide material layer is first formed, and the polyimide material layer covers the front metal layer 17 and the exposed passivation layer, and then a fourth photoresist layer is formed on the polyimide material layer, and then the fourth photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a patterned fourth photoresist layer, and the patterned fourth photoresist layer is used as a mask to etch the polyimide material layer to form a polyimide layer 18, and the polyimide layer 18 exposes a portion of the front metal layer 17 above the anode area 11, and then the patterned fourth photoresist layer is removed.

[0087] Exemplarily, the polyimide material layer, i.e., PI glue, is formed by coating, and then the PI glue is subjected to curing pretreatment, such as heat treatment at about 200° C. to cure the PI glue, so as to facilitate the coating, exposure, development, etching, etc. of the photoresist. After the polyimide layer 18 is formed, imidization is also included, i.e., a polycondensation reaction occurs at above 300° C. to 400° C., the amide groups open bonds, and the ring is closed to form a stable five-ring structure.

[0088] In step S6, please refer to Figure 8 As shown, a back metal layer 19 is formed on the back side of the substrate 10 .

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the substrate 10 may be thinned first, and then a back metal layer 19 may be formed on the back side of the substrate 10 .

After the oxide layer 13 is formed, the present invention directly forms a passivation layer, then etches the passivation layer and the oxide layer 13 to form a contact hole, and does not need to perform photolithography on the oxide layer 13 separately, and omits the photolithography etching of the alignment mark, saves the production of the alignment mark by increasing the offset between the contact hole 16 and the anode region 11, reduces the use of two mask plates in total, and reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0092] At the same time, the present invention adopts lateral variable doping technology to form the terminal area 12, and completes the deposition of the passivation layer before forming the front metal layer 17, thereby saving a mask without affecting the reliability, and further reducing the production cost.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, a mask is used when ion implantation is performed on the front side of the substrate 10, when the contact hole 16 is formed, when the front metal layer 17 is formed, and when the polyimide layer 18 is formed. That is, four masks are used. Compared with the prior art, three masks are saved when forming alignment marks, when forming an oxide layer, and when forming a PA layer, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.
