[0002] In recent years, the field of wide-bandgap semiconductor materials has developed rapidly, and materials such as SiC, GaN, gallium oxide (Ga2O3), diamond (C) and aluminum nitride (AlN) have emerged. Compared with traditional Si materials, these wide-bandgap semiconductor materials have shown significant advantages in key physical properties such as bandgap width, breakdown field strength, and electron saturation drift velocity, successfully breaking through the bottleneck that silicon-based materials are difficult to cope with high-power, high-voltage, high-frequency, and high-temperature application scenarios, and opening up a feasible path to surpass Moore's Law.

[0003] In practical applications, SiC power devices, due to their material properties, have shown broad application potential in new energy, aerospace, nuclear power and other fields facing high temperature, high pressure and high radiation environments. However, the driving circuits and protection circuits used with SiC power devices at this stage still use silicon-based materials.

[0077] To facilitate the understanding of this application, the following will provide a more comprehensive description of this application with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0078] In the prior art, the development status and existing defects of power devices are as follows:

[0079] 1. Currently, the drive circuits, protection circuits, etc. used in matching with silicon carbide power devices are still silicon-based, which limits the application scope of power devices.

[0080] 2. The cost of developing integrated chips on SiC is too high; currently, the mainstream SiC wafers are 6-inch 4H-SiC wafers. On the one hand, the price of the wafers themselves is relatively high, and on the other hand, the smaller wafer size brings higher process costs.

[0081] 3. Currently, the wafer sizes used in advanced Si processes are mostly 12 inches. Therefore, the 6-inch 4H-SiC wafers limit the application of more advanced processes.

[0082] 4. When performing monolithic integration on SiC wafers, there are serious voltage and current crosstalks between device regions, which will seriously affect the performance of the chips. Therefore, a relatively complex isolation structure needs to be designed.

[0083] Based on this, the present invention provides a new integrated chip structure and its manufacturing method.

[0103] Among them, a second N-type well region 311 is formed in the P-type MOS region 31;

[0104] And, a second P+ region 312, a third P+ region 313, and a third N+ region 314 formed in the top region of the second N-type well region 311;

Since 3C-SiC serves as a high heat dissipation layer, it can effectively improve the thermal characteristics of the device. In addition, a natural isolation layer is formed after bonding the semi-insulating (HPSI) SiC peeling film, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of current and voltage crosstalk.

[0115] Embodiment 2

[0116] Based on Embodiment 1, the difference from Embodiment 1 lies in:

[0117] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the device preparation layer on the surface can also be N-type. Correspondingly, the device structure will change to some extent (BJT region);

[0118] Specifically, when the device preparation layer is N-type epitaxy, a third P-type well region 49 and a fourth N-type well region 410 are formed in the BJT region 4; and, a seventh P+ region 411, a seventh N+ region 412, and an eighth N+ region 413 formed in the top region of the third P-type well region 49; a base passing through the interlayer dielectric layer 7 and the gate oxide dielectric layer 8 and connected to the seventh P+ region 411; an emitter passing through the interlayer dielectric layer 7 and the gate oxide dielectric layer 8 and connected to the seventh N+ region 412; a collector passing through the interlayer dielectric layer 7 and the gate oxide dielectric layer 8 and connected to the eighth N+ region 413.

[0119] For the remaining same structures, refer to the description in Embodiment 1, which will not be elaborated here.

[0120] Embodiment 3

[0121] Based on Embodiment 1, the difference from Embodiment 1 lies in:

[0122] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the bottom layer 11 is a 3C-SiC polycrystalline substrate.

[0123] Specifically, a 3C-SiC polycrystalline substrate is used instead of epitaxially growing a 3C-SiC epitaxial layer on a Si substrate. The polycrystalline 3C-SiC substrate is inexpensive and has high mechanical strength.

[0124] For the remaining same structures, refer to the description in Embodiment 1, which will not be elaborated here.

[0125] Embodiment 4

[0126] Based on Embodiment 1, the difference from Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0127] As Figure 5 shown, a shallow trench isolation (STI) 6 can be introduced between the NMOS region and the PMOS region in the low-voltage device region to avoid crosstalk between the NMOS and the PMOS.

[0128] For the remaining same structures, refer to the description of Embodiment 1 and will not be elaborated here.

[0129] Embodiment 5

[0130] Based on Embodiment 1, the difference from Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0131] As Figure 6 shown, the isolation between different device regions can adopt PN junction isolation instead of trench isolation, and by grounding the epitaxial layer, it is ensured that the PN junction between the deep N-well region and the epitaxial layer will not be forward-biased and conduct.

[0132] For the remaining same structures, refer to the description of Embodiment 1 and will not be elaborated here.

[0141] Step S6: Epitaxially grow a 3C epitaxial layer to form a device preparation layer;

[0142] Step S7: Fabricate integrated devices on the device preparation layer;

[0143] Among them, the device preparation layer includes a high-voltage device area, a low-voltage device area, and a BJT area; a high-voltage device is formed in the high-voltage device area, a low-voltage device is formed in the low-voltage device area, and a bipolar junction transistor is formed in the BJT area.

[0144] Specifically, in this embodiment, the P-type epitaxial layer is taken as an example for introduction, as Figure 8 shown, step S7 specifically includes:

[0145] Step S701: Form multiple N-type well regions (N-well), P-type well regions (P-well), P-body regions, N-type heavily doped regions (N+), and P-type heavily doped regions (P+) in the device preparation layer through multiple ion implantations;

[0146] Step S702: Thermally oxidize to grow a gate oxide dielectric layer;

[0147] Step S703: Deposit and etch to form a polysilicon gate;

[0149] Step S705: Grow an interlayer dielectric layer and etch metal vias;

[0150] Step S706: Deposit and etch metal to form metal electrodes.

[0151] In summary, the integrated chip structures and corresponding manufacturing methods provided in the above Embodiments 1 to 6 have the following technical effects: The composite epitaxial structure therein is to first epitaxially grow a 3C-SiC epitaxial layer on a Si substrate, then bond a semi-insulating (HPSI) SiC peeling film on this structure, and then epitaxially grow a 3C-SiC or 4H-SiC epitaxial layer on the surface. Finally, the device structure is integrated into the 3C-SiC or 4H-SiC epitaxial layer on the surface - the high-voltage device area, the low-voltage device area, and the BJT area are isolated from each other and disposed in the upper region of the composite epitaxial structure. The high-voltage device area is used to form high-voltage devices, the low-voltage device area is used to form low-voltage devices, and the BJT area is used to form bipolar junction transistors.

[0152] The wafer size obtained using the above composite epitaxial structure can reach 12 inches, which is much larger than the size of the currently mainstream 4H-SiC wafers, thereby reducing the overall process cost and enabling the adoption of advanced processes in Si integrated circuits. In addition, after bonding and peeling the semi-insulating (HPSI) SiC thin film, a SiC isolation layer is naturally formed, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of current and voltage crosstalk.
