Description
Technical Field
[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular, to a semiconductor power device, a preparation method, a power module, a conversion circuit and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] As a representative of the third generation of semiconductor materials, silicon carbide (SiC) has excellent physical and electrical properties. Compared with silicon materials, SiC materials have a large bandgap, 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.
[0003] Power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor-Field-Effect-Transistor, MOSFET) is widely used in the field of high speed and high power. The MOS device of SiC material commonly used in the related art is an enhancement device. The enhancement device is not conductive under normal conditions, and a positive voltage needs to be applied to the gate to make the device conduction. The depletion MOS device is conductive under normal conditions, and a negative voltage needs to be applied to Vgs to cut off the device channel in the cut-off state. Therefore, the depletion MOS device can respond faster and control the current flow, and the conduction loss is small, which is more suitable for high-frequency circuits and switching circuits. In the current preparation method of the depletion type trench MOS device, an external anti-parallel diode of the depletion type trench MOS is usually used for reverse freewheeling. However, the external anti-parallel diode of the depletion type trench 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.

[0067] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification 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 data 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. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0068] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a semiconductor device, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 , semiconductor devices include:
[0069] The semiconductor body 1 comprises a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 arranged opposite to each other, the first surface 11 comprises a first region surface and a second region surface, and a gate trench is arranged on the first region surface;
[0070] A trench gate structure 30; the trench gate structure 30 is located in the gate trench; wherein the semiconductor body 1 includes a first contact region and a body region 21; the first contact region 22 includes a first sub-contact region 222 and a second sub-contact region 221, the first sub-contact region 222 and the second sub-contact region 221 respectively extend from the first surface 11 into the semiconductor body 1, the first sub-contact region 222 is arranged along the sidewall of the gate trench and contacts the trench gate structure 30; the second sub-contact region 221 contacts the first sub-contact region 222 and is located on a side of the first sub-contact region 222 away from the trench gate structure 30;
[0071] The body region 21 is located on a side of the first sub-contact region 222 away from the trench gate structure 30 and on a side of the second sub-contact region 221 close to the second surface 12; along the direction from the first surface 11 to the second surface 12, the length of the first sub-contact region 222 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the body region 21;
[0072] A first electrode is located on the surface of the first region of the semiconductor body 1 and contacts the second sub-contact region 221;
[0073] The contact metal layer 81 is located on the surface of the second region of the semiconductor body 1 , and the contact metal layer 81 forms a Schottky contact with the surface of the second region of the semiconductor body 1 .
[0074] The semiconductor device of the embodiment of the present invention is a trench-type and depletion-type semiconductor device. The depletion-type device is normally turned on, and current flows in through the second surface 12 of the semiconductor body 1, and flows through the drift region 24 along the contact region (first sub-contact region 222) of the sidewall of the trench gate structure 30 to the first surface 11 of the semiconductor body 1. When the depletion-type device is switched to the cut-off state, a negative voltage needs to be applied to the trench gate structure 30 to cut off the device channel, so the depletion-type semiconductor device can respond faster and control the current flow, with small conduction loss, and is more suitable for high-frequency circuits and switching circuits.
[0075] In addition, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention integrates the Schottky diode 103 in the semiconductor device body. Compared with the diode connected in anti-parallel outside the semiconductor device body for reverse freewheeling, the Schottky diode 102 can be formed at the same time as the MOS device is prepared, which simplifies the device preparation process and avoids the increase of packaging cost and stray inductance caused by external parallel SBD, thereby preventing the switching characteristics of the device from being degraded. In addition, during reverse freewheeling, since the turn-on voltage of the Schottky diode 103 is lower than that of the PN junction diode, the integrated Schottky diode 103 is turned on before the body diode 102, and the current flows through the Schottky junction, so the energy loss of the device in the reverse freewheeling state is greatly reduced.
[0076] Optionally, the semiconductor device further includes: a gate electrode G, located on the surface of the first region of the semiconductor body 1 and in contact with the trench gate structure 30; wherein the first electrode, the gate electrode G and the contact metal layer 81 are disposed in the same layer. The first electrode may be a source electrode S.
[0077] Optionally, the semiconductor body 1 also includes a second contact region 23, which is located on a side of the first contact region 22 away from the trench gate structure 30 and on a side of the body region 21 away from the second surface 12; the second contact region 23 has a different conductivity type from the first contact region 22; the first electrode is in contact with the second sub-contact region 221 and the second contact region 23.
[0078] Optionally, the first surface 11 further includes a third region surface; the semiconductor body 1 further includes a body diode 102, and the second conductivity type region of the body diode 102 is located on the third region surface.

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.
[0082] 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 trench SiC power device. The semiconductor body 1 includes a substrate 10 and a 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 bandgap, 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.
[0083] 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.
[0084] The first surface 11 includes a first region surface Q1 and a second region surface Q2, and the first region surface Q1 and the second region surface Q2 may be adjacent or spaced apart.

[0086] Specifically, refer to Figure 4The body region 21 can be formed by implanting ions of the second conductivity type on the surface of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 20 after forming the semiconductor epitaxial layer; the first contact region 22 is formed by implanting ions in the body region 21. The first contact region 22 includes a first sub-contact region 222 and a second sub-contact region 221. The first sub-contact region 222 is located on the first region surface of the semiconductor body 1 and the sidewall of the trench gate structure 30. Along the direction from the first surface 11 to the second surface 12, the length of the first sub-contact region 222 located on the sidewall of the trench gate structure 30 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the body region 21. The second sub-contact region 221 is located on the side of the first sub-contact region 222 away from the trench gate structure 30, and on the side of the body region 21 away from the second surface 12. The first sub-contact region 222 and the second sub-contact region 231 have the same conductivity type. The first electrode contacts the second sub-contact region 221. Before the trench gate structure 30 is formed on the first region surface Q1 of the semiconductor body 1, a gate trench can be formed on the first region surface Q1 of the semiconductor body 1. The number of gate trenches corresponds to the number of trench gate structures 30. The gate trench can be formed by etching the first sub-contact region 222, the body region 21 and the drift region 24 of a partial thickness from the first surface 11 of the semiconductor body 1. Forming the trench gate structure 30 in the gate trench includes: forming a gate insulating layer 32 on the groove wall of the gate trench; forming a polysilicon gate 31 on the surface of the gate insulating layer 32.

That is, the semiconductor device of the embodiment of the present invention includes at least one trench SiC power device. Among them, at least one side of each trench gate structure 30 is provided with a first sub-contact region 222 and a body region 21, and the first sub-contact region 222 is located on the first region surface Q1 of the semiconductor body 1 and the side wall of the trench gate structure 30, and along the direction from the first surface 11 to the second surface 12, the length of the first sub-contact region 222 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the body region 21; that is, the semiconductor device of the embodiment of the present invention is a depletion-type device. The depletion-type device is turned on in normal state, and the current flows in through the second surface 12 of the semiconductor body 1, and flows through the drift region 24 along the first sub-contact region 22 of the side wall of the trench gate structure 30 to the first surface 11 of the semiconductor body 1 (the first sub-contact region 222 located on the first surface 11). When the depletion-mode device switches to the cut-off state, a negative voltage is applied to the trench gate structure 30 to cut off the device channel. Therefore, the depletion-mode semiconductor device can respond faster and control the current flow, has small conduction loss, and is more suitable for high-frequency circuits and switching circuits.
[0088] The conductivity type of the first sub-contact region 222 is the same as that of the semiconductor body 1, and both are doped with ions of the first conductivity type, and the ion doping concentration of the first sub-contact region 222 is greater than the ion doping concentration 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 is used as a drift region 24. The ions of the first conductivity type may be N-type doped ions, and the ions of the second conductivity type may be P-type doped ions; or, the ions of the first conductivity type may be P-type doped ions, and the ions of the second conductivity type may be N-type doped ions.

A Schottky diode generally includes a cathode metal layer, a first conductive type substrate, a first conductive type epitaxial layer, a barrier metal or metal silicide, and an anode metal layer; the barrier metal or metal silicide and the first conductive type epitaxial layer form a Schottky contact. Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present invention, the semiconductor body 1 is a semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type, and only ions of the first conductivity type are doped in the semiconductor body 1 located in the second region. At least a portion of the contact metal layer 81 adjacent to the semiconductor body 1 is a barrier metal or a metal silicide. A contact metal layer 81 is formed on the surface Q2 of the second region of the semiconductor body 1, and the contact metal layer 81 is annealed, so that the contact metal layer 81 forms a Schottky contact with the surface Q2 of the second region of the semiconductor body 1, thereby forming a Schottky diode 103. The first electrode can be a source electrode S.
[0091] Optionally, the contact metal layer 81 includes not only the barrier metal or metal silicide but also an anode metal layer of the Schottky diode 103 .
[0092] Optional, please continue to refer to Figure 1While forming the contact metal layer 81 on the second area surface Q2 of the semiconductor body 1, it also includes: forming a first electrode in contact with the second contact sub-area 221 on the first area surface Q1 of the semiconductor body 1, and forming a gate electrode G in contact with the gate structure, thereby simplifying the preparation process of the semiconductor device.
