Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to power semiconductor technology, specifically to an IGBT device and its fabrication method that integrates a MOS-controlled floating Schottky diode. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the increasing reliance on electricity, achieving efficient power transmission, conversion, and control has become a key focus of society. Power semiconductors, as core components in power transmission, conversion, and control, are widely used in computers, network communications, consumer electronics, and industrial control, serving as a crucial foundation for energy conservation and emission reduction. In automotive electronics, power semiconductor chips are used to control high-power currents, particularly in the main drive control of electric vehicles, placing higher demands on the efficiency, reliability, and robustness of power semiconductors and driving the advancement of modern automobiles. Furthermore, in the aerospace field, power semiconductors play a vital role in ensuring the stability and reliability of aerospace transportation vehicles, requiring further improvements in device reliability.

[0003] IGBTs, as bipolar power semiconductor devices, are key components for efficient power transmission, conversion, and control, often referred to as the "CPU" of power electronics technology. They are widely used in consumer electronics, industrial control circuits, intelligent transportation, and aerospace. As gate-controlled bipolar devices, IGBTs utilize two types of charge carriers during conduction, with minority carriers also participating in conductivity modulation, further reducing the on-resistance in the drift region and effectively lowering conduction losses. To further reduce conduction losses, IGBT technology needs further development. Trench-gate floating P-body IGBTs have been proposed; however, the introduction of a trench gate enhances the short-channel effect, increasing the saturation current during conduction and making the device prone to thermal breakdown. Simultaneously, when the device is in a short-circuit state, the voltage and current it withstands are large, resulting in very high power consumption and a high risk of thermal breakdown. Therefore, improving the short-circuit withstand capability of devices while maintaining low conduction losses has become a key focus for both academia and industry. Based on this, the present invention proposes an IGBT structure with integrated MOS gate-controlled floating Schottky diode. By integrating the MOS gate-controlled floating Schottky diode, the carrier injection efficiency can be controlled, and a conduction path can be provided for hole current. This helps to further reduce the saturation current of the device and improve the short-circuit withstand capability of the device. Summary of the Invention

[0049] The present invention provides an IGBT device with integrated MOS-controlled floating Schottky diodes, which uses MOS to control two series-connected floating Schottky diodes (P-type Schottky diode and N-type Schottky diode) by embedding them at the emitter terminal.

[0050] When the device is in forward conduction, the potential of the floating P-type region is less than the sum of the turn-on voltages of the two floating Schottky diodes. The Schottky diodes will be in the off state, and holes cannot flow into the gate channel through the two series-connected floating Schottky diodes and then into the emitter. This will further enhance carrier injection and optimize carrier distribution, enhance the conductivity modulation effect of the device, further reduce the on-resistance of the device's drift region, and thus reduce the device's conduction loss.

[0051] When the device is in short-circuit withstand mode, the voltage across the collector and emitter is relatively high. At this time, the potential of the floating P-type region is greater than the sum of the turn-on voltages of the two floating Schottky diodes. The Schottky diodes will be in the turn-on state, and the emitter electrons will flow into the floating metal through the MOS channel and recombine with the holes flowing into the floating metal from the drift region to reduce the hole concentration in the device. This further reduces the conductivity modulation effect of the drift region, thereby reducing the saturation current of the device and improving the short-circuit withstand capability of the device.

[0052] In summary, the IGBT device with integrated MOS-controlled floating Schottky diode proposed in this invention not only improves the device's conduction performance but also enhances its short-circuit withstand capability.
