Description

Technical Field

[0002] SiC MOSFETs have low switching losses, high switching frequencies, high breakdown voltages, and excellent temperature characteristics, and have gradually begun to replace traditional Si IGBTs in high-power power electronics applications. However, compared with Si IGBTs, for the same rated current capacity, the chip area of SiC MOSFETs is smaller and the heat generation is more concentrated, or for the same chip area, the on-resistance of SiC MOSFETs is lower and the current density is higher. In addition, the weak interface quality of SiC MOSFETs is likely to cause problems with the reliability of the gate oxide layer. The above reasons result in a relatively weak short-circuit withstand ability of SiC MOSFETs. At present, the short-circuit withstand time SCWT of Si IGBTs <= 10 us, and the SCWT of SiC MOSFETs <= 3 us, which has a negative impact on the stable operation of the chips.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application provides a MOSFET device and a manufacturing method thereof. The MOSFET device includes an N-type substrate; an N-type epitaxial layer located on one side of the substrate; a P-type well region, a first P-type doping region, a second P-type doping region, and an N-type doping region located in the N-type epitaxial layer; wherein, the P-type well region, the first P-type doping region, and the second P-type doping region are arranged in sequence and in contact, the N-type doping region is located above the first P-type doping region, and both sides of the N-type doping region are in contact with the P-type well region and the second P-type doping region respectively; the doping concentrations of the P-type well region, the second P-type doping region, and the first P-type doping region increase in sequence, and the depth of the first P-type doping region is greater than the depth of the P-type well region; a gate region located on one side of the P-type well region and the N-type doping region; an ohmic contact layer located on one side of the second P-type doping region and the N-type doping region; a first metal electrode located on one side of the gate region and the ohmic contact layer; a second metal electrode located on the back surface of the substrate.

At the same time, the doping concentrations of the first P-type doping regions on both sides are greater than the doping concentration of the second P-type doping region in the middle, which can make the equivalent resistances of the first P-type doping regions on both sides relatively small, facilitating the short-circuit current to bypass the second P-type doping region with a relatively large equivalent resistance and directly distribute to the first P-type doping regions on both sides, reducing the heat concentration problem caused by the concentration of the short-circuit current, and improving the thermal reliability, short-circuit reliability, and robustness of the device.

[0065] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0066] As described in the background art, due to its own characteristics, the current SiC MOSFET has the problem of weak short-circuit tolerance. In view of this, to solve this problem, the embodiments of the present application provide a MOSFET device.

[0067] The following provides an exemplary description of the MOSFET device provided by the present application:

[0068] As an alternative implementation, please refer to Figure 1 , the MOSFET device includes:

[0069] N-type substrate 110; an N-type epitaxial layer 120 located on one side of the substrate 110; a P-type well region 130, a first P-type doped region 140, a second P-type doped region 150, and an N-type doped region 160 located within the N-type epitaxial layer 120; wherein, the P-type well region 130, the first P-type doped region 140, and the second P-type doped region 150 are arranged in sequence and in contact, the N-type doped region 160 is located above the first P-type doped region 140, and both sides of the N-type doped region 160 are respectively in contact with the P-type well region 130 and the second P-type doped region 150; the doping concentrations of the P-type well region 130, the second P-type doped region 150, and the first P-type doped region 140 increase in sequence, and the depth of the first P-type doped region is greater than the depth of the P-type well region; a gate region 170 located on one side of the P-type well region 130 and the N-type doped region 160; an ohmic contact layer 180 located on one side of the second P-type doped region 150 and the N-type doped region 160; a first metal electrode 190 located on one side of the gate region 170 and the ohmic contact layer 180; a second metal electrode 200 located on the back surface of the substrate 110.

[0070] It should be noted that in the Figure 1 provided by the present application, a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the device cell structure is shown. This cell structure includes two MOSFET devices, namely Figure 1 on the left side of the dashed line in the

[0071] Please refer to Figure 2 which is an equivalent circuit schematic diagram of the MOSFET device provided by the present application. In this circuit schematic diagram, Q1 represents the parasitic NPN transistor of the MOSFET device, and R B represents the base equivalent resistance of the parasitic NPN transistor, and R E represents the emitter equivalent resistance of the parasitic NPN transistor. On the one hand, since in the MOSFET device provided by the present application, the doping concentrations of the P-type well region 130, the second P-type doped region 150, and the first P-type doped region 140 increase in sequence, and the depth of the first P-type doped region is greater than the depth of the P-type well region, the thickness of the first P-type doped region is relatively wide, and the equivalent base width of the parasitic NPN transistor in the entire MOSFET device becomes larger. Thus, the base equivalent resistance R B of the parasitic NPN transistor can be reduced. Combining Figure 2 it can be known that when the base equivalent resistance R BWhen it decreases, the corresponding base potential decreases. Therefore, the parasitic NPN transistor is not easily turned on, thereby reducing the short - circuit risk caused by the conduction of the parasitic NPN transistor. It should be noted that the short - circuit described in this application means that the current directly flows through the parasitic NPN transistor without passing through the MOSFET device, that is, the current directly flows from the drain D of the MOSFET device through the parasitic NPN transistor to the source S, resulting in the on - off of the MOSFET device not being controlled by the voltage of the gate G.

[0072] On the other hand, the doping concentration of the first P - type doped regions 140 on both sides is greater than that of the second P - type doped region 150 in the middle, which can make the equivalent resistance of the first P - type doped regions 140 on both sides relatively small. Even in the case of a short - circuit, the short - circuit current will bypass the second P - type doped region 150 with a relatively large equivalent resistance and be directly distributed to the first P - type doped regions 140 on both sides, which can reduce the problem of heat concentration caused by the concentration of the short - circuit current and improve the thermal reliability, short - circuit reliability and robustness of the device.

[0073] It should be noted that in the MOSFET device provided in this application, both the substrate 110 and the epitaxial layer 120 can be made of SiC material.

[0074] Moreover, in this application, the P - type well region 130 is P - type doped, the second P - type doped region 150 is P + doped, and the first P - type doped regions 140 are P ++ doped. On this basis, when the length of the first P - type doped regions 140 is longer, the short - circuit risk can be further reduced. Therefore, as an implementation, please refer to Figure 3 , the surface of the first P - type doped regions 140 is in contact with the P - type well region 130, and both sides of the P - type well region 130 are within the length range of the first - type doped regions. That is, the edge of the first P - type doped regions 140 exceeds the edge of the P - type well region 130, which can further improve the gate - oxide breakdown characteristics and gate - oxide reliability of the device. And, the surface of the first P - type doped region is in contact with the P - type well region, and both sides of the P - type well region are within the length range of the first P - type doped region, and the doping concentration of the first P - type doped region is fixed; the parameters of the first P - type doped region satisfy the formula:

[0075] (L - L0) / L0 < (H3 - H0) / H0;

[0076] Among them, L represents the length value of the first P - type doped region, L0 represents the set reference length value of the first P - type doped region, H3 represents the thickness value of the first P - type doped region, and H0 represents the set reference thickness value of the first P - type doped region. The set reference length value and the set reference thickness value of the first P - type doped region represent the length and thickness of the first P - type doped region commonly used in the prior art.

[0077] By adopting the above implementation, according to the formula:

[0078] R = ρ * L / S = ρ * L / (H3 * W); where R represents the resistance value, ρ represents the resistivity, S represents the cross-sectional area, and W represents the cross-sectional width of the first P-type doped region.

[0079] It can be seen that when the doping concentration of the first P-type doped region is fixed, that is, the resistivity ρ of the first P-type doped region is constant, and at the same time the cross-sectional width W of the first P-type doped region is of a certain size, when the present application appropriately increases the region length L of the first P-type doped region, and when the multiple of the increase in L is less than the multiple of the increase in H3, on the one hand, it can ensure that the overall base region equivalent resistance is reduced, and on the other hand, appropriately increasing the length L of the first P-type doped region can distribute the short-circuit current to the edge position of the first P-type doped region, thereby bypassing the parasitic NPN transistor as much as possible and further reducing the short-circuit risk. In addition, under the same limiting conditions, L can be increased to be greater than the width of the P-type well region, and at this time, the gate oxide breakdown characteristics and gate oxide reliability of the device can be further improved. At the same time, the concentration of the first P-type doped regions on both sides is greater than the concentration of the second P-type doped region in the middle, which can make the equivalent resistance of the first P-type doped regions on both sides smaller, facilitating the short-circuit current to bypass the second P-type doped region with a relatively large equivalent resistance and directly distribute to the first P-type doped regions on both sides, which can reduce the problem of heat concentration caused by the concentration of the short-circuit current and improve the thermal reliability, short-circuit reliability and robustness of the device. Generally speaking, by flexibly adjusting the doping concentration, width H3 and length L of the first P-type doped region, the equivalent base region resistance of the parasitic NPN transistor can be flexibly adjusted, and then the gate oxide breakdown characteristics, short-circuit tolerance, thermal and other reliabilities and robustness of the device can be flexibly adjusted.

[0080] As an implementation method, please refer to again Figure 1 , the depths of the P-type well region 130, the first P-type doped region 140, and the second P-type doped region 150 increase in sequence. In this setting method, by setting the three structures of the second P-type doped region 150, the first P-type doped region 140, and the P-type well region 130 to act together, the electric field intensity at the corner of the P-type well region 130 and the center position of the gate oxide layer can be greatly reduced, thereby obtaining a higher gate oxide breakdown voltage and gate oxide reliability. At the same time, the second P-type doped region 150, the first P-type doped region 140, and the P-type well region 130 are set to have different concentrations, and an equivalent resistance capacitance of the PN junction depletion region with an automatic buffering and suppressing effect can be introduced on the current path. When abnormal working conditions occur, the device can automatically and flexibly expand the PN depletion regions at different positions, and then automatically generate different sizes of depletion layer equivalent resistance capacitances to automatically suppress problems such as EMI electromagnetic interference, oscillation, and surge. Finally, the device has better anti-electromagnetic interference, oscillation, surge, voltage and current overshoot capabilities, stronger short-circuit tolerance SCWT, and high device reliability.

[0081] In addition, please refer to Figure 4, when the depths of the P-type well region 130, the first P-type doped region 140, and the second P-type doped region 150 satisfy the formula:

[0082] H1>3H2;

[0083] H2>1 / 3H3;

[0084] wherein, H1 represents the depth difference between the first P-type doped region and the second P-type doped region, H2 represents the depth difference between the P-type well region and the first P-type doped region, and H3 represents the thickness value of the first P-type doped region 140. It can make the overall PN junction form an equivalent arc surface structure, make the depletion layer power lines at the corners of the shielded P-type well region 130 and the center position of the gate oxide layer more dispersed, effectively reduce the peak electric field, and enable the device to obtain a higher gate oxide breakdown voltage and gate oxide reliability. At the same time, by injecting higher-doped P-type ions deeper, the surge large current can be guided to flow from the first P-type doped region 140 regions on both sides to the substrate 110, reducing the problem of heat concentration caused by the concentration of surge current, and improving the surge reliability and robustness of the device.

[0085] Generally speaking, for the MOSFET device provided by this application, the equivalent base region resistance of the parasitic NPN transistor can be flexibly adjusted by flexibly adjusting the concentration, length L, and thickness H3 of the first P-type doped region 140, and then the gate oxide breakdown characteristics, short-circuit tolerance, thermal and other reliabilities and robustness of the device can be flexibly adjusted.

[0086] As an implementation, please refer to Figure 5 , the N-type doped region 160 includes a first N-type doped region 161 and a second N-type doped region 162. The first N-type doped region 161 is a highly doped region, that is, an N+ region, and the second N-type doped region 162 is a low-doped region, that is, an N- region. The first N-type doped region 161 is in contact with the second N-type doped region 162, and the first N-type doped region 161 is in contact with the ohmic contact layer 180, and the second N-type doped region 162 is in contact with the first P-type doped region 140.

[0087] In one implementation, as Figure 5 shown, the length of the first N-type doped region 161 is equal to the length of the second N-type doped region 162; the surface of the first N-type doped region 161 is in contact with the gate region 170 and the ohmic contact layer 180 respectively, and the bottom surface of the second N-type doped region 162 is in contact with the first P-type doped region 140. In another implementation, as Figure 6As shown, the length of the first N-type doped region 161 is less than that of the second N-type doped region 162; the bottom surface and the side surface of the first N-type doped region 161 are in contact with the second N-type doped region 162, the surfaces of the first N-type doped region 161 and the second N-type doped region 162 are both in contact with the ohmic contact layer 180, and the bottom surface of the second N-type doped region 162 is in contact with the first P-type doped region 140. Of course, in a cell structure, the length of the first N-type doped region 161 on one side may be set to be equal to that of the second N-type doped region 162, and the length of the first N-type doped region 161 on the other side is less than that of the second N-type doped region 162, which is not limited herein.

[0088] By setting the N-low doped region, the equivalent resistance of the emitter of the parasitic NPN transistor can be increased. Combining with Figure 2 the shown equivalent circuit diagram, it can be seen that when the equivalent resistance R of the emitter of the parasitic NPN transistor E increases, a higher base potential is required to turn on the parasitic NPN transistor, thereby reducing the on-risk of the parasitic NPN transistor. At the same time, the thicker the thickness of the second N-type doped region 162 located below the first N-type doped region 161, the longer the equivalent emitter length of the parasitic NPN transistor, which can further increase the equivalent resistance of the emitter of the parasitic NPN transistor, thereby further reducing the on-risk of the parasitic NPN transistor.

[0089] Moreover, by setting the highly doped N+ region as the source of the device, the source resistance can be reduced, thereby reducing the on-resistance of the device. At the same time, under the condition that the first N-type doped region 161 is provided below the ohmic contact layer 180, the N+ implantation position can be flexibly adjusted, and the source contact resistance R can be flexibly adjusted through the contact area between the N+ and N- regions and the metal c , thereby flexibly reducing the on-resistance of the device and improving characteristics such as the switching speed and switching loss of the device.

[0090] It should be noted that the gate region 170 provided in this application includes a gate oxide layer 171, a gate polysilicon 172, and an interlayer dielectric layer 173. The gate oxide layer 171 is located below the gate polysilicon 172, and the interlayer dielectric layer 173 is located above and on the sidewalls of the gate polysilicon 172. Moreover, the first metal electrode 190 can use an Al electrode, and the second metal electrode 200 can use a Ni / Ti / Ni / Ag electrode.

[0113] In summary, the embodiments of the present application provide a MOSFET device and a manufacturing method thereof. The MOSFET device includes an N-type substrate; an N-type epitaxial layer located on one side of the substrate; a P-type well region, a first P-type doped region, a second P-type doped region, and an N-type doped region located within the N-type epitaxial layer. Among them, the P-type well region, the first P-type doped region, and the second P-type doped region are arranged in sequence and in contact. The N-type doped region is located above the first P-type doped region, and both sides of the N-type doped region are in contact with the P-type well region and the second P-type doped region respectively. The doping concentrations of the P-type well region, the second P-type doped region, and the first P-type doped region increase in sequence, and the depth of the first P-type doped region is greater than that of the P-type well region. A gate region is located on one side of the P-type well region and the N-type doped region; an ohmic contact layer is located on one side of the second P-type doped region and the N-type doped region; a first metal electrode is located on one side of the gate region and the ohmic contact layer; a second metal electrode is located on the back surface of the substrate. Since in the MOSFET device provided by the present application, the doping concentrations of the P-type well region, the second P-type doped region, and the first P-type doped region increase in sequence, and the depth of the first P-type doped region is greater than that of the P-type well region, the thickness of the first P-type doped region is relatively wide, and the equivalent base region width of the parasitic NPN transistor in the entire MOSFET device becomes larger. Thereby, the base equivalent resistance of the parasitic NPN transistor can be reduced, and further the short-circuit risk caused by the conduction of the parasitic NPN transistor can be reduced. At the same time, the doping concentrations of the first P-type doped regions on both sides are greater than that of the second P-type doped region in the middle, which can make the equivalent resistances of the first P-type doped regions on both sides relatively small, facilitating the short-circuit current to bypass the second P-type doped region with a relatively large equivalent resistance and directly distribute to the first P-type doped regions on both sides, which can reduce the problem of heat concentration caused by the concentration of the short-circuit current and improve the thermal reliability, short-circuit reliability, and robustness of the device.
