Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor devices, and more particularly, to a reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor. Background Art

[0002] The reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor (RC-IGBT) is a derivative device of IGBT developed to meet the needs of different application circuits. The RC-IGBT integrates the cell structure of a traditional insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and the cell structure of a fast recovery diode (FRD) on the same chip to provide a compact current discharge circuit. The dynamic performance adjustment of the RC-IGBT needs to consider both the IGBT region and the FRD region. For the IGBT, considering aspects such as on-state voltage drop and breakdown voltage, it is desirable that the doping concentration of the P-well region is as high as possible. From the perspective of the FRD, the lower the anode doping concentration, the smaller the reverse recovery loss. There is an obvious contradiction between the two, and it is difficult to make a compromise adjustment. Since the anode of the FRD region is generally formed by the P-well region of the IGBT, the anode concentration of the RC-IGBT is generally relatively large, resulting in a relatively low on-state voltage drop, a relatively large reverse peak current, a relatively large reverse recovery loss, and a relatively large reverse recovery loss will reduce the application performance of the device.

[0003] Therefore, the current reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor still needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The following described embodiments are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. For those not specified in the embodiments, the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the field or according to the product specifications are followed.

[0028] In one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor. In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 1, the reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor includes: a collector region (the P+ collector region 11 and the N+ collector region 12 shown in the figure), a drift region 20, an N-well region 30, a P+ region 40, and a plurality of trench gates (the first trench gate 51 and the second trench gate 52 shown in the figure). Among them, the collector region, the drift region 20, the N-well region 30, and the P+ region 40 are stacked in sequence. The trench gate penetrates through the P+ region 40 and the N-well region 30 and extends into the drift region 20. The trench gate defines a channel region 1 and a non-channel region 2. Specifically, two first trench gates 51 define the channel region 1, and the second trench gate 52 and the first trench gate 51 define the non-channel region 2. In the channel region 1, a P-well region 60 is provided between the N-well region 30 and the P+ region 40. In the non-channel region 2, the P+ region 40 is located on both sides of the N-well region 30. The N-well region 30 located between the P+ regions 40 forms a Schottky contact with the emitter metal 70. By introducing a Schottky contact in the non-channel region in the present invention, the on-state voltage drop of the Schottky contact is less than 0.7V, the PN junction between the P-well region and the N-well region in the channel region can be short-circuited, the injection efficiency of the IGBT cell can be reduced, and thus the reverse recovery loss of the reverse-conducting IGBT can be reduced. In addition, in the non-channel region, P+ regions are provided on both sides of the N-well region, which can reduce the leakage current generated by the edge peak electric field of the Schottky diode and improve the performance of the device.

[0029] In this embodiment, in the channel region 1, an N+ region 80 is provided between the first trench gate 51 and the P+ region 40, and the N+ region 80 is provided on the same layer as the P+ region 40. That is, in the channel region 1, the N+ region 80 is located on the side of the P-well region 60 away from the N-well region 30, and the P+ region 40 is located between the N+ regions 80 (as Figure 1 shown). An ohmic contact is provided between the N+ region 80 and the emitter metal 70, and an ohmic contact is provided between the P+ region 40 in the channel region and the non-channel region and the emitter metal 70. An insulating layer 90 is provided between the first trench gate 51 and the emitter metal 70 and between the second trench gate 52 and the emitter metal 70.

[0030] In other embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 2, in the non-channel region 2, a Schottky contact is formed between the N-well region 30 and the emitter metal 70. And in the channel region 1, a third trench gate 53 is disposed between two first trench gates 51, and the third trench gate 53 is in contact with the emitter metal 70, that is, the third trench gate 53 is a grounded trench gate. The N+ region 80, the P+ region 40, and the P-well region 60 are located between the first trench gate 51 and the third trench gate 53. That is to say, the N+ region 80, the P+ region 40, and the P-well region 60 are disposed on both sides of the third trench gate 53. The N-well region 30 is located between the P-well region 60 and the third trench gate 53 and between the P+ region 40 and the third trench gate 53 and forms a Schottky contact with the emitter metal 70. That is to say, in the channel region, the N-well region located below the P-well region extends between the P-well region and the third trench gate and between the P+ region and the third trench gate, realizing the contact between the N-well region and the emitter metal and forming a Schottky contact. The above structure can integrate the Schottky diode and the IGBT cell more closely. On the one hand, it further enhances the short-circuit effect of the Schottky contact and further reduces the reverse recovery loss of the device. On the other hand, the introduction of the third trench gate reduces the distance between the two first trench gates, improves the carrier storage effect of the device, and reduces the on-state voltage drop of the device. Setting a grounded trench gate between the two first trench gates can connect the two parts of the channel region divided by the grounded trench gate, ensuring the consistency of the two divided parts.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between the third trench gate 53 and the two first trench gates 51 is the same, further optimizing the performance of the device and improving the stability of the device performance.

[0032] In the present invention, the emitter metal 70 forms a Schottky contact with the N-well region and an ohmic contact with the N+ region and the P+ region. The material constituting the emitter metal 70 may include aluminum, titanium, gold, silver, or platinum to meet the performance of forming Schottky contacts and ohmic contacts with different regions respectively.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the collector region includes a P+ collector region 11 and an N+ collector region 12. In the direction along the arrangement of multiple trench gates, the P+ collector region 11 and the N+ collector region 12 are arranged continuously and alternately. The P+ collector region 11 serves as the anode of the IGBT, and the N+ collector region 12 serves as the cathode of the FRD. The side of the collector region away from the drift region 20 is connected to the collector metal 110. A buffer layer 100 is disposed between the collector region and the drift region 20 to block the expansion of the depletion layer when the IGBT is in forward blocking.

[0034] In another aspect of the present invention, the present invention proposes a reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor. In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 3, the reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor includes: a collector region (the P+ collector region 11 and the N+ collector region 12 shown in the figure), a drift region 20, an N-well region 30, a P+ region 40, and a plurality of trench gates. Among them, the collector region, the drift region 20, the N-well region 30, and the P+ region 40 are stacked in sequence. The trench gates penetrate through the P+ region 40 and the N-well region 30 and extend into the drift region 20. The trench gates include a first trench gate 51, a second trench gate 52, and a fourth trench gate 54. Two first trench gates 51 define a channel region 1, and the second trench gate 52 and the first trench gate 51 define a non-channel region 2. In the channel region 1, a P-well region 60 is arranged between the N-well region 30 and the P+ region 40. In the non-channel region 2, at least one fourth trench gate 54 is arranged between the second trench gate 52 and the second trench gate 51. The fourth trench gate 54 is in contact with the emitter metal 70, that is, the fourth trench gate is a grounded trench gate. The N-well region 30 is divided into a plurality of sub-N-well regions by the fourth trench gate 54, and the P+ region 40 is located on both sides of the sub-N-well regions. That is to say, P+ regions are arranged on both sides of each sub-N-well region. The sub-N-well region located between the P+ regions forms a Schottky contact with the emitter metal 70. By reducing the width of the Schottky contact in the non-channel region, the doping concentration of the N-well region can be enhanced, the breakdown voltage of the Schottky diode region can be improved, the leakage current of the Schottky diode can be further reduced, and introducing a Schottky contact in the non-channel region can short-circuit the PN junction between the P-well region and the N-well region in the channel region, reduce the hole injection efficiency on the front side of the device, reduce the reverse recovery loss of the device, and improve the overall performance of the device. Arranging a grounded trench gate between the second trench gate and the first trench gate can connect the multiple parts of the non-channel region divided by the grounded trench gate and ensure the consistency between the multiple divided parts.

[0035] In this embodiment, in the channel region 1, an N+ region 80 is arranged between the first trench gate 51 and the P+ region 40, and the N+ region 80 is arranged on the same layer as the P+ region 40. That is, in the channel region 1, the N+ region 80 is located on the side of the P-well region 60 away from the N-well region 30, and the P+ region 40 is located between the N+ regions 80 (as Figure 3 shown). There is an ohmic contact between the N+ region 80 and the emitter metal 70, and there is an ohmic contact between the P+ region 40 in the channel region and the non-channel region and the emitter metal 70. Insulating layers 90 are arranged between the first trench gate 51 and the emitter metal 70 and between the second trench gate 52 and the emitter metal 70.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, one fourth trench gate 54 can be arranged between the second trench gate 52 and the first trench gate 51, or a plurality of fourth trench gates 54 can be arranged between the second trench gate 52 and the first trench gate 51. The distance between adjacent trench gates in the non-channel region can be the same as the distance between the two first trench gates in the channel region.

[0037] Alternatively, according to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of fourth trench gates 54 arranged at equal intervals are provided between the second trench gate 52 and the first trench gate 51. The distance between two adjacent trench gates in the non-channel region can be 0.2 - 0.4 μm, for example, 0.2 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.4 μm. This can effectively reduce the reverse recovery loss of the device and reduce the leakage current of the Schottky diode, further optimizing the overall performance of the device.

[0038] In some other embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , in the non-channel region 2, a plurality of fourth trench gates 54 are provided between the second trench gate 52 and the first trench gate 51. The multiple sub-N well regions formed by being divided by the fourth trench gates 54 form Schottky contacts with the emitter metal 70. And in the channel region 1, a third trench gate 53 is provided between two first trench gates 51. The third trench gate 53 is in contact with the emitter metal 70, that is, the third trench gate 53 is a grounded trench gate. The N+ region 80, P+ region 40, and P well region 60 are located between the first trench gate 51 and the third trench gate 53. That is to say, both sides of the third trench gate 53 are provided with the N+ region 80, P+ region 40, and P well region 60. The N well region 30 is located between the P well region 60 and the third trench gate 53 and between the P+ region 40 and the third trench gate 53 and forms a Schottky contact with the emitter metal 70. That is to say, in the channel region, the N well region located below the P well region extends between the P well region and the third trench gate and between the P+ region and the third trench gate, realizing the contact between the N well region and the emitter metal and forming a Schottky contact. The above structure can further integrate the Schottky diode and the IGBT cell closely. On the one hand, it further enhances the short-circuit effect of the Schottky contact, further reducing the reverse recovery loss of the device. On the other hand, it further reduces the leakage current of the Schottky diode. On the third hand, by introducing the third trench gate, the distance between two first trench gates is reduced, improving the carrier storage effect of the device, reducing the on-state voltage drop of the device, and enhancing the overall performance of the device.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between the third trench gate 53 and the two first trench gates 51 is the same, further optimizing the performance of the device and improving the stability of the device performance.

[0040] In the present invention, the emitter metal 70 forms a Schottky contact with the N well region and an ohmic contact with the N+ region and P+ region. The material constituting the emitter metal 70 can include aluminum, titanium, gold, silver, or platinum to meet the performance of forming Schottky contacts and ohmic contacts with different regions respectively.

[0041] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the collector region includes a P+ collector region 11 and an N+ collector region 12. In the direction along the arrangement of multiple trench gates, the P+ collector region 11 and the N+ collector region 12 are arranged continuously and alternately. The P+ collector region 11 serves as the anode of the IGBT, and the N+ collector region 12 serves as the cathode of the FRD. The side of the collector region far from the drift region 20 is connected to the collector metal 110. A buffer layer 100 is provided between the collector region and the drift region 20 to block the expansion of the depletion layer when the IGBT is in forward blocking.

[0042] In another aspect of the present invention, the present invention proposes a reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor. In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 , the reverse-conducting insulated gate bipolar transistor includes: a collector region (the P+ collector region 11 and the N+ collector region 12 shown in the figure), a drift region 20, an N-well region 30, a P-well region 60, a P+ region 40, and multiple trench gates. Among them, the collector region, the drift region 20, the N-well region 30, the P-well region 60, and the P+ region 40 are stacked in sequence.

The N+ region 80, the P+ region 40, and the P-well region 60 are located between the first trench gate 51 and the third trench gate 53. That is to say, both sides of the third trench gate 53 are provided with the N+ region 80, the P+ region 40, and the P-well region 60. The N-well region 30 is located between the P-well region 60 and the third trench gate 53 and between the P+ region 40 and the third trench gate 53 and forms a Schottky contact with the emitter metal 70. That is to say, in the channel region, the N-well region located below the P-well region extends between the P-well region and the third trench gate and between the P+ region and the third trench gate to achieve the contact between the N-well region and the emitter metal and form a Schottky contact. By introducing a Schottky contact in the channel region, the PN junction between the P-well region and the N-well region in the channel region can be short-circuited, reducing the injection efficiency of the IGBT cell, thereby reducing the reverse recovery loss of the reverse-conducting IGBT. And by introducing the third trench gate, the distance between the two first trench gates is reduced, improving the carrier storage effect of the device, reducing the on-state voltage drop of the device, and improving the overall performance of the device.
