Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor device, a manufacturing method, a power module, a conversion circuit, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As a representative of third-generation semiconductor materials, silicon carbide (SiC) possesses excellent physical and electrical properties. Compared to silicon, SiC has a wider bandgap, a higher breakdown electric field, higher thermal conductivity, a higher electron saturation rate, and strong radiation resistance. Therefore, semiconductor devices made with SiC can not only operate stably at higher temperatures, but are also suitable for high-voltage and high-frequency applications.

[0003] Power Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor-Field-Effect-Transistor (MOSFET) is widely used in the field of high speed and high power. The MOS device made of SiC material commonly used in related technologies is an enhancement-mode device. The enhancement-mode device is not conductive under normal conditions, and a positive voltage needs to be applied to the gate to make the device conductive. The depletion-mode MOS device is conductive under normal conditions, and a negative voltage needs to be applied to the gate to cut off the device channel in the cut-off state. Therefore, the depletion-mode MOS device can respond and control the current flow faster, has less conduction loss, and is more suitable for high-frequency circuits and switching circuits. In the current preparation method of depletion-type planar MOS devices, an external anti-parallel diode is usually connected to the depletion-type planar MOS device for reverse freewheeling. However, the external anti-parallel diode of the depletion-type planar MOS device increases the difficulty of device preparation, and the conduction voltage drop of the diode is large, and the energy loss of the device in the reverse freewheeling state is large, which affects the performance of the device.

[0077] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

The first contact region 22 and the JEFT region 25 have different conductivity types. The surface of the JEFT region 25 away from the second surface 12 contacts the planar gate structure 30. The doping concentration of the second conductivity type ions in the JEFT region 25 is greater than the doping concentration of the second conductivity type ions in the drift region 24.

[0092] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which is used to manufacture the semiconductor device according to any embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for preparing a semiconductor device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 2 , a method for preparing a semiconductor device includes:

That is, the semiconductor body can be a single semiconductor epitaxial layer or a stacked structure formed of multiple semiconductor epitaxial layers. The semiconductor body can also include a substrate, that is, the semiconductor body includes a substrate and at least one semiconductor epitaxial layer formed on one side of the substrate. The material of the substrate can be the same as the material of the semiconductor epitaxial layer, or the material of the substrate can be different from the material of the semiconductor epitaxial layer.

[0095] refer to Figure 3 Optionally, the material of the semiconductor body 1 may be SiC, that is, the semiconductor device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a planar SiC power device. The semiconductor body 1 includes a substrate 10 and at least one semiconductor epitaxial layer 20 formed on one side of the substrate 10. SiC has excellent physical and electrical properties. Compared with silicon materials, SiC materials have a large band gap and have the advantages of high breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity, high electron saturation rate, and strong radiation resistance. Therefore, semiconductor devices made of SiC materials can not only operate stably at higher temperatures, but are also suitable for high voltage and high frequency scenarios.

[0096] The semiconductor body 1 includes a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 that are arranged opposite to each other. When the semiconductor body 1 includes only the semiconductor epitaxial layer 20, the second surface 12 is the surface of the semiconductor body 1 on the side close to the substrate 10, and the first surface 11 is the surface of the semiconductor body 1 on the side away from the substrate 10. When the semiconductor body 1 includes the substrate 10 and at least one semiconductor epitaxial layer 20, the second surface 12 is the surface of the substrate 10 on the side away from the semiconductor epitaxial layer 20, and the first surface 11 is the surface of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 20 that is farthest from the substrate 10 and is away from the substrate 10.

[0097] The first surface 11 includes a first region surface Q1 and a second region surface Q2. The first region surface Q1 and the second region surface Q2 may be adjacent to each other or spaced apart.

When the depletion-type device switches to the cut-off state, a negative voltage is provided to the planar gate structure 30 to cut off the channel region 222 of the device. Therefore, the depletion-type semiconductor device can respond and control the current flow faster, has low conduction loss, and is more suitable for high-frequency circuits and switching circuits.

[0101] The conductivity type of the first contact region 22 is the same as that of the semiconductor body 1, and both are doped with ions of the first conductivity type. The ion doping concentration of the first contact region 22 is greater than that of the semiconductor body 1. The conductivity type of the body region 21 is different from that of the semiconductor body 1, and ions of the second conductivity type are doped in the body region 21. The semiconductor epitaxial layer 20 between the body region 21 and the second surface 12 serves as a drift region 24. The ions of the first conductivity type may be N-type doping ions, and the ions of the second conductivity type may be P-type doping ions; alternatively, the ions of the first conductivity type may be P-type doping ions, and the ions of the second conductivity type may be N-type doping ions.

[0107] For example, the first electrode, the gate electrode G, and the contact metal layer 70 can be formed simultaneously by sequentially depositing a Ti layer, a TiN layer, and an Al layer, followed by metal etching. A second electrode (not shown) is further provided on the side of the semiconductor body 1 away from the first surface 11. The first electrode can be a source electrode S, and the second electrode can be a drain electrode D; alternatively, the first electrode can be a drain electrode D, and the second electrode can be a source electrode S. Figure 1 The first electrode is exemplarily shown as a source electrode S, and the second electrode is a drain electrode D. The cathode metal layer of the Schottky diode 102 can be electrically connected to or share the second electrode; the anode metal layer of the Schottky diode 102 can be electrically connected to or share the first electrode.

[0108] The method for preparing a semiconductor device provided by an embodiment of the present invention integrates a Schottky barrier diode within the semiconductor device body. Compared to a diode connected in anti-parallel outside the semiconductor device body for reverse freewheeling, a Schottky diode can be formed while preparing a depletion-type planar gate MOS device, thereby simplifying the device preparation process and avoiding the increase in device packaging cost and stray inductance caused by external parallel SBD, thereby preventing the degradation of the device switching characteristics. In addition, during reverse freewheeling, since the turn-on voltage of the Schottky diode 102 is lower than that of the PN junction diode, the integrated Schottky diode 102 is turned on before the body diode 103, and current flows through the Schottky junction, thereby greatly reducing the energy loss of the device in the reverse freewheeling state.

[0109] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, step S20 includes forming a first contact region on the surface of the first region of the semiconductor body, forming a body region on a side of the first contact region close to the second surface, and forming a planar gate structure on a side of the first contact region away from the second surface, including:

[0110] S210 , forming a first mask layer on a first surface of the semiconductor body, and patterning the first mask layer to form at least one first opening in the first mask layer that exposes a surface of the first region.

[0111] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) can be used to deposit SiO2 to form the first mask layer 100; the first mask layer 100 is patterned by photolithography. The photolithography process is an important step in the semiconductor device manufacturing process. This step uses exposure and development to depict geometric structures on the photoresist layer, and then the pattern of the photoresist layer is transferred to the first mask layer 100 by an etching process to achieve patterning of the first mask layer 100. The width of the first opening 01 located on the first region surface Q1 is equal to or less than the width of the first region surface Q1. Figure 5 As exemplarily shown, the width of the first opening 01 is smaller than the width of the first region surface Q1 , and the first mask layer 100 includes four first openings 01 exposing the first region surface Q1 .

[0112] S220 , based on the patterned first mask layer, implant second conductive type ions into the surface of the first region of the semiconductor body to form an initial body region.

[0113] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 Based on the patterned first mask layer 100, the second conductive type ions are implanted into the first region surface Q1 of the semiconductor body 1 to form an initial body region 211. The initial body region 211 located on the first region surface Q1 is a film layer formed during the preparation of the semiconductor device, and the body region 21 is formed on the basis of the initial body region 211. In the embodiment of the present invention, the initial body region 211 is a doped region formed by implanting the second conductive type ions into the surface of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 20 after the semiconductor epitaxial layer 20 is formed; compared with the method of doping the second conductive type ions into the epitaxial material during the epitaxial process, the embodiment of the present invention can enable the semiconductor epitaxial layer 20 used to prepare the initial body region 211 and the semiconductor epitaxial layer 20 used to prepare the Schottky diode 102 to be formed in the same epitaxial process, thereby simplifying the preparation process of the semiconductor device.

The process also includes forming at least one first opening 01 exposing the third region surface Q3 in the first mask layer 100. The third region surface Q3 may be located between the first region surface Q1 and the second region surface Q2, or on a side of the second region surface Q2 away from the first region surface Q1. The positions and number of the first region surface Q1, the second region surface Q2, and the third region surface Q3 may be set according to actual needs.

[0116] refer to Figure 6 In step S220, based on the patterned first mask layer 100, second conductivity type ions are implanted into the first region surface Q1 of the semiconductor body 1 to form the initial body region 211. Simultaneously, second conductivity type ions are implanted into the third region surface Q3 of the semiconductor body 1 to form the second conductivity type region 1021 of the body diode 103.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present invention, in step S230, the first conductive type ions are implanted based on the patterned first mask layer 100, and before the first sub-region of the first contact region 22 is formed on the surface of the initial body region 211, the following steps are also included:

The barrier layer 40 located above the first region surface Q1 is removed, and the barrier layer 40 located outside the first region surface Q1 is retained, so that the barrier layer 40 can cover the third region surface Q3 of the semiconductor body 1. Therefore, in the subsequent step 230, when the first conductive type ions are implanted based on the patterned first mask layer 100 to form the first sub-region of the first contact region 22, the barrier layer 40 can prevent the first conductive type ions from being implanted into the third region surface Q3. The material of the barrier layer 40 can be different from that of the first mask layer 100, thereby reducing the impact on the first mask layer 100 during the patterning process of the barrier layer 40. The material of the barrier layer 40 can be polycrystalline silicon.

The spacer layer 50 located on the surface of the first mask layer 100 away from the semiconductor body 1 and the first surface 11 of the semiconductor body 1 exposed by the first opening 01 are then removed by a dry etching process, thereby forming a spacer layer 50 on the sidewalls of the first opening 01. The spacer layer 50 on one side of the first opening 01 can be retained, or the spacer layer 50 on opposite sides of the first opening 01 can be retained.

[0124] S250.
