Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and particularly to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Art
[0002] As a composite power semiconductor device that combines the advantages of high input impedance of MOSFET and low on-state voltage drop of bipolar transistors, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are widely used in power electronic systems, such as new energy power generation inverters, electric vehicle drive modules, industrial motor controllers and other fields. With the continuous improvement of the power system's demand for high efficiency and high power density, the performance optimization of IGBT devices has become a hot research topic in the industry.
[0003] In a traditional planar gate structure IGBT, a conductive channel is formed by horizontally arranging the gate region. However, due to the mobility limitation of the surface channel and the tortuosity of the current path under the gate region, there is a significant trade-off relationship between the on-resistance and the blocking voltage. In addition, the tail current formed between the collector region and the emitter region during the turn-off process will cause higher turn-off losses, restricting the improvement of the switching frequency.
[0004] To break through the above bottleneck, the industry has proposed a trench gate structure, which replaces the planar gate region by vertically etching trenches, so that the channel is distributed perpendicular to the chip surface. This vertical conduction mode can shorten the carrier path, reduce the on-impedance, and at the same time increase the cell density. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same, aiming to solve the reliability problem of trench-type semiconductor devices.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the embodiments of the present disclosure adopt the following technical solutions: On the one hand, a semiconductor device is provided, including a collector region, a drift region, an emitter region, a gate dielectric layer, a gate region, and a first shielding portion. The drift region is disposed on the collector region, and a first groove is provided on the surface of the drift region away from the collector region. The emitter region is disposed on the side of the drift region away from the collector region. The gate dielectric layer is disposed on the bottom surface and the side wall surface of the first groove. The gate region is disposed in the first groove and is covered by the gate dielectric layer. The first shielding portion is disposed at the bottom of the first groove and is in contact with the gate dielectric layer. Wherein, the drift region includes a first sub-drift region and a second sub-drift region which are stacked, the second sub-drift region is located on the side of the first sub-drift region away from the collector region, and the doping types of the first sub-drift region and the second sub-drift region are different. The first shielding portion is in contact with the second sub-drift region.
[0007] When the semiconductor device operates in the breakdown voltage withstand state, the channel in the gate region is turned off. When the blocking voltage is applied between the collector region and the emitter region, the first shielding portion can reduce the electric field borne by the gate dielectric layer, thereby protecting the gate dielectric layer. In addition, the PN junction formed by the second sub-drift region and the first sub-drift region is in the reverse bias state and bears part of the electric field, which can further reduce the electric field borne by the gate dielectric layer, make the electric field distribution more uniform, and is beneficial to improving the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor device, thereby increasing the expected lifespan and reliability of the semiconductor device. The improvement of the electric field distribution can also make the temperature distribution more uniform, avoid local overheating of the semiconductor device, and further enhance the expected lifespan and reliability of the semiconductor device.
[0008] In some feasible embodiments, the semiconductor device further includes a second groove, an emitter region dielectric layer, an emitter region conductor, and a second shielding portion. The second groove is disposed on the surface of the drift region away from the collector region, and the second groove and the first groove are respectively located on both sides of the emitter region. The emitter region dielectric layer is disposed on the bottom surface and the side wall surface of the second groove. The emitter region conductor is disposed in the second groove and is covered by the emitter region dielectric layer. The second shielding portion is disposed at the bottom of the second groove and is in contact with the emitter region dielectric layer. The second shielding portion is also in contact with the second sub-drift region.
[0009] When the semiconductor device operates in the breakdown voltage withstand state, the channel in the gate region is turned off. When the blocking voltage is applied between the collector region and the emitter region, the second shielding portion can reduce the electric field borne by the emitter region dielectric layer, thereby protecting the emitter region dielectric layer. In addition, the PN junction formed by the second sub-drift region and the first sub-drift region is in the reverse bias state and bears part of the electric field, which can further reduce the electric field borne by the emitter region dielectric layer, make the electric field distribution more uniform, and is beneficial to improving the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor device, thereby increasing the expected lifespan and reliability of the semiconductor device.
[0010] In some feasible embodiments, the first shielding portion has the same doping type as the second sub-drift region, and the doping concentration of the first shielding portion is greater than the doping concentration of the second sub-drift region.
[0011] In some feasible embodiments, the semiconductor device further includes a carrier storage layer. The carrier storage layer is located between the emitter region and the second sub-drift region, and is located between the first groove and the second groove. The carrier storage layer is in contact with the gate dielectric layer and the emitter region dielectric layer respectively. The doping type of the carrier storage layer is different from that of the second sub-drift region.
[0012] When the semiconductor device is in the conduction state, holes injected from the collector region are partially blocked by the carrier storage layer during diffusion in the drift region, forming local hole accumulation, significantly increasing the carrier concentration in the drift region, and thereby reducing the on-resistance of the semiconductor device.
[0013] In some feasible embodiments, along the first direction, the first shielding portion and the second shielding portion do not contact each other. The first direction is the arrangement direction of the first groove and the second groove.
[0014] In some feasible embodiments, the first shielding portion includes a carrier storage layer, and the carrier storage layer extends from the bottom of the first groove to the second shielding portion and contacts the second shielding portion. The doping types of the carrier storage layer and the second sub-drift region are different.
[0015] Using the carrier storage layer as the first shielding portion, on the one hand, the interval between the first shielding portion and the second shielding portion does not need to be considered, and the cell width of the semiconductor device can be reduced. On the other hand, during the turn-on process of the semiconductor device, holes are not easily accumulated at the bottom of the gate region, effectively avoiding the negative capacitance phenomenon in the gate region and improving the gate region control ability of the semiconductor device.
[0016] The carrier storage layer serving as the first shielding portion surrounds the gate dielectric layer and the gate region. During the turn-on process of the semiconductor device, due to the blocking of the first shielding portion, holes injected from the emitter region are not easily accumulated around the gate dielectric layer, which can reduce the influence of hole injection on the gate region current during the turn-on process of the semiconductor device and improve the gate region control ability of the semiconductor device.
[0017] In some feasible embodiments, the carrier storage layer also contacts the emitter region dielectric layer.
[0018] In some feasible embodiments, the second shielding portion has the same doping type as the second sub-drift region, and the doping concentration of the second shielding portion is greater than that of the second sub-drift region.
[0019] In some feasible embodiments, the bottom of the gate dielectric layer extends into the first shielding portion, and the first shielding portion contacts a part of the side surface of the gate dielectric layer; and / or, the bottom of the emitter region dielectric layer extends into the second shielding portion, and the second shielding portion contacts a part of the side surface of the emitter region dielectric layer.
[0020] In some feasible embodiments, the size of the gate region in the thickness direction of the second sub-drift region is smaller than the size of the emitter conductor in the thickness direction of the second sub-drift region; or, the size of the gate region in the thickness direction of the second sub-drift region is equal to the size of the emitter conductor in the thickness direction of the second sub-drift region.
[0021] The size of the gate region in the thickness direction of the second sub-drift region is smaller than the size of the emitter conductor in the thickness direction of the second sub-drift region, and the first shielding portion at the bottom of the first groove uses a carrier storage layer. During the turn-on process of the semiconductor device, the holes injected from the collector region will flow to the region with a lower electric potential. For holes, there is a certain potential barrier height for the first shielding portion including the carrier storage layer, and there is no potential barrier for the second shielding portion. Therefore, holes are more likely to accumulate towards the second shielding portion and are not easily to pass through the first shielding portion with a certain potential barrier and a longer distance, reducing the influence of holes on the gate region capacitance and improving the gate control ability of the semiconductor device.
[0022] In some feasible embodiments, the semiconductor device further includes a first well region, which is located between the emitter region and the carrier storage layer, and between the first groove and the second groove. The first well region is in contact with the gate dielectric layer and the emitter region dielectric layer respectively.
[0023] When the semiconductor device operates in the breakdown voltage withstand state and the gate region channel is closed, when the blocking voltage is applied between the collector region and the emitter region, the first shielding portion and / or the second shielding portion can assist in the depletion of the carrier storage layer to reduce the electric field between the first well region and the carrier storage layer, thereby reducing the electric field borne by the gate dielectric layer and / or the emitter region dielectric layer, which is beneficial to improving the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor device, and thus improving the expected lifetime and reliability of the semiconductor device.
[0024] When the semiconductor device operates in the forward conduction state and the gate region channel is open, when a positive voltage is applied between the collector region and the emitter region, due to the opening of the channel, an electron inversion layer is formed on the surface of the first well region, and the second sub-emitter region is connected to the carrier storage layer through the electron inversion layer on the surface of the first well region. The P-type collector region, the N-type buffer layer, the N-type first sub-drift region, the P-type second sub-drift region, and the N-type carrier storage layer form a PNPN thyristor, and this PNPN thyristor gradually turns on as the collector region current increases. If the PNPN thyristor is fully turned on, there are a large number of free carriers in the first sub-drift region, the second sub-drift region, and the second well region, then the PN junction formed by the well region and the carrier storage layer is in the reverse bias state.
[0025] When the semiconductor device switches from the conduction state to the breakdown voltage withstand state, that is, when it is turned off, the gate region channel changes from open to closed, and the voltage between the collector region and the emitter region gradually increases. Due to the gradual turn-off of the channel, the depletion region of the semiconductor device gradually expands, and the depletion region gradually expands from the PN junction formed by the first well region and the carrier storage layer towards the second sub-drift region. The existence of the second sub-drift region makes the electric field here very small, and the holes in the second sub-drift region can be extracted at a lower voltage, accelerating the hole extraction during turn-off, improving the turn-off speed, thereby reducing the turn-off loss of the semiconductor device and enhancing the reliability of the semiconductor device.
[0026] In addition, when preparing the first well region and the carrier storage layer, the same mask (such as a photomask) can be used for both, which is beneficial to saving process steps and reducing production costs.
[0027] In some feasible embodiments, the semiconductor device further includes a second well region. The second well region is disposed on a side of the second sub-drift region away from the collector region, and the first well region and the second well region are respectively located on two sides of the second groove.
[0028] In some feasible embodiments, the emitter region includes a first sub-emitter region and a second sub-emitter region. The first sub-emitter region and the second sub-emitter region are arranged along a first direction, and the first direction is the arrangement direction of the first groove and the second groove; the doping types of the first sub-emitter region and the second sub-emitter region are different.
[0029] In some feasible embodiments, the semiconductor device further includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer, and an isolation dielectric layer. The first metal layer is located on a side of the collector region away from the drift region. The second metal layer is located on a side of the drift region away from the collector region, and is in ohmic contact with the emitter region and the emitter conductor respectively. The isolation dielectric layer is located between the second metal layer and the second well region, and is also located between the second metal layer and the gate region.
[0030] On the other hand, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided, including: sequentially forming a stacked collector region, a first sub-drift region, and a second sub-drift region, where the doping types of the first sub-drift region and the second sub-drift region are different; forming an emitter region on a side of the second sub-drift region away from the collector region; etching the second sub-drift region to form a first groove; forming a first shielding portion at the bottom of the first groove; forming a gate dielectric layer on the bottom surface and side wall surface of the first groove, and forming a gate region in the first groove; the gate dielectric layer wraps the gate region.
[0031] It can be understood that for the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device provided in the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the beneficial effects that can be achieved can refer to the beneficial effects of the semiconductor device in the above text, and will not be elaborated here.

A second groove 402 is further provided on the surface of the drift region 103 away from the collector region 101. For example, a second groove 402 is further provided on the surface of the second sub-drift region 103b away from the collector region 101. The emitter dielectric layer 308 is provided on the bottom surface and the side wall surface of the second groove 402. The emitter conductor 307 is provided in the second groove 402 and is coated by the emitter dielectric layer 308. A second shielding portion 109 is provided at the bottom of the second groove 402. The second shielding portion 109 is in contact with the gate dielectric layer 303 and is in contact with the second sub-drift region 103b. The bottom of the emitter dielectric layer 308 extends into the second shielding portion 109, and the second shielding portion 109 is also in contact with a part of the side surface of the emitter dielectric layer 308. Exemplarily, the second shielding portion 109 has the same doping type as the second sub-drift region 103b, and the doping concentration of the second shielding portion 109 is greater than the doping concentration of the second sub-drift region 103b.
[0063] In some feasible embodiments, there is a gap between the first shielding portion 108 and the second shielding portion 109, that is, they do not contact each other, and a part of the second sub-drift region 103b is located within this gap.
[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 4, the carrier storage layer 105 is located between the second sub-drift region 103b and the emitter region 107, and is also located between the first groove 401 and the second groove 402. The carrier storage layer 105 is in contact with the gate dielectric layer 303 and the emitter dielectric layer 308. When the semiconductor device 100 is in the on state, holes injected from the collector region 101 are partially blocked by the carrier storage layer 105 during diffusion in the drift region 103, forming local hole accumulation, which significantly increases the carrier concentration in the drift region 103, thereby reducing the on-resistance of the semiconductor device 100.
[0065] In some feasible embodiments, the well region 106 includes a first well region 106a. The first well region 106a is located between the carrier storage layer 105 and the emitter region 107, and is also located between the first groove 401 and the second groove 402. The first well region 106a is in contact with the gate dielectric layer 303 and the emitter dielectric layer 308 respectively.
[0066] When preparing the carrier storage layer 105 and the first well region 106a, the same mask (such as a photolithography mask) can be used for both, which is beneficial to saving process steps and reducing production costs.
[0067] In some feasible embodiments, the well region 106 further includes a second well region 106b, as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 is a structural diagram of another semiconductor device provided according to some embodiments. The second well region 106b is provided on the side of the second sub-drift region 103b away from the collector region 101, and is located on both sides of the second groove 402 with the first well region 106a respectively. The first well region 106a and the second well region 106b are arranged along the first direction x, for example. And the second well region 106b is in contact with the second sub-drift region 103b, and the second well region 106b is also in contact with the isolation dielectric layer 304 and the emitter dielectric layer 308 respectively.
[0068] There is no carrier storage layer on the side of the second well region 106b close to the collector region 101, so that the size in the first direction x at this position is not limited by the carrier storage layer, and the width of the semiconductor device 100 can be flexibly adjusted according to the requirements of the actual application scenario, improving the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor device 100.
[0069] In Figure 5 the shown semiconductor device 100, the contact area between the second well region 106b and the gate dielectric layer 303 is small. During the turn-on process of the semiconductor device 100, the charging effect of holes on the gate region 302 and / or the gate dielectric layer 303 is smaller, which is beneficial to improving the gate region control ability of the semiconductor device 100.
[0070] The emitter region 107 includes a first sub-emitter region 107a and a second sub-emitter region 107b with different doping types. The first sub-emitter region 107a and the second sub-emitter region 107b are arranged along a first direction x, which is, for example, the arrangement direction of the first groove 401 and the second groove 402. The first sub-emitter region 107a is in contact with the emitter dielectric layer 308, the second sub-emitter region 107b is in contact with the first sub-emitter region 107a, and the second sub-emitter region 107b is in contact with the gate dielectric layer 303. Exemplarily, the doping type of the first sub-emitter region 107a is P-type, and the doping type of the second sub-emitter region 107b is N-type.
[0071] In some possible embodiments, the semiconductor device 100 further includes a first metal layer 301, an isolation dielectric layer 304, and a second metal layer 305. The first metal layer 301 is located on the side of the collector region 101 away from the buffer layer 102. The second metal layer 305 is located on the side of the second sub-drift region 103b away from the collector region 101 and forms an ohmic contact with the emitter regions 107 and 207. The isolation dielectric layer 304 is located between the gate region 302 and the second metal layer 305 to electrically isolate the gate region 302 and the second metal layer 305. The isolation dielectric layer 304 is also located between the second well region 106b and the second metal layer 305 to electrically isolate the second well region 106b and the second metal layer 305.
[0072] When the semiconductor device 100 operates in a breakdown voltage withstand state, the voltage of the gate region 302 is less than or equal to 0V, the voltage of the second metal layer 305, i.e., the emitter region 107, is equal to 0V, and the voltage of the first metal layer 301, i.e., the collector region 101, is greater than 0V. At this time, the channel of the gate region 302 is closed, and the blocking voltage is borne between the collector region 101 and the emitter region 107. Due to the existence of the first shielding portion 108 and the second shielding portion 109, the depletion of the carrier storage layer 105 can be assisted, thereby reducing the electric field between the first well region 106a and the carrier storage layer 105; and due to the existence of the first shielding portion 108 and the second shielding portion 109, the electric fields borne by the gate dielectric layer 303 and the emitter dielectric layer 308 can be reduced, thereby protecting the gate dielectric layer 303 and the emitter dielectric layer 308. In addition, the PN junction formed by the second sub-drift region 103b and the first sub-drift region 103a is in a reverse bias state and bears part of the electric field. Therefore, the electric fields at the gate dielectric layer 303, the emitter dielectric layer 308, and the carrier storage layer 105 can be further reduced, making the electric field distribution more uniform, increasing the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor device 100, and thus increasing the expected life and reliability of the semiconductor device 100. The improvement of the electric field distribution can also make the temperature distribution more uniform, avoid local overheating of the semiconductor device 100, and further improve the expected life and reliability of the semiconductor device 100.
[0073] If the semiconductor device 100 operates in the forward conduction state, the voltage of the gate region 302 is greater than 0V, the voltage of the second metal layer 305, i.e., the emitter region 107, is equal to 0V, and the voltage of the first metal layer 301, i.e., the collector region 101, is greater than 0V. At this time, the channel of the gate region 302 is turned on. Since the channel of the gate region 302 is turned on, an electron inversion layer is formed on the surface of the first well region 106a, and the second sub-emitter region 107b is connected to the carrier storage layer 105 through the electron inversion layer on the surface of the first well region 106a. The P-type collector region 101, the N-type buffer layer 102, the N-type first sub-drift region 103a, the P-type second sub-drift region 103b, and the N-type carrier storage layer 105 form a PNPN thyristor, and this PNPN thyristor gradually turns on as the current of the collector region 101 increases. If after this PNPN thyristor is fully turned on, there are a large number of free carriers in the first sub-drift region 103a, the second sub-drift region 103b, and the second well region 106b, then the PN junction formed by the well region 106 and the carrier storage layer 105 is in the reverse bias state.
[0074] When the semiconductor device 100 switches from the conduction state to the voltage withstand state, i.e., turns off, the voltage of the gate region 302 changes from greater than 0V to less than or equal to 0V. At this time, the channel of the gate region 302 changes from being turned on to being turned off, and the voltage between the collector region 101 and the emitter region 107 gradually increases. Since the channel is gradually turned off, the depletion region of the semiconductor device 100 gradually expands, and the depletion region gradually expands from the PN junction formed by the first well region 106a and the carrier storage layer 105 to the second sub-drift region 103b. The existence of the second sub-drift region 103b makes the electric field here very small, and holes in the second sub-drift region 103b can be extracted at a lower voltage, accelerating the hole extraction during turn-off, improving the turn-off speed, thereby reducing the turn-off loss of the semiconductor device 100 and enhancing the reliability of the semiconductor device 100.
[0075] Figure 6 FIG. is a structural diagram of another semiconductor device according to some embodiments. The semiconductor device 100 includes a collector region 101, a buffer layer 102, a drift region 103, a well region 106, an emitter region 107, a first metal layer 301, a gate region 302, a gate dielectric layer 303, an isolation dielectric layer 304, a second metal layer 305, an emitter conductor 307, and an emitter dielectric layer 308. In Figure 6 the illustrated embodiment, the first shielding portion 108 includes a carrier storage layer 105, that is, the bottom of the gate dielectric layer 303 is located within the carrier storage layer 105. In Figure 6 the first shielding portion 108 extends from the bottom of the first groove 401 to the emitter dielectric layer 308, and the first shielding portion 108 is in contact with the emitter dielectric layer 308.
[0076] In some feasible embodiments, the size of the emitter region conductor 307 in the thickness direction z of the drift region 103 is larger than the size of the gate region 302 in the thickness direction z of the drift region 103. Figure 6 The remaining structure of the semiconductor device 100 shown is the same as Figure 4 the semiconductor device 100 shown, and thus will not be described in detail.
[0077] In Figure 6 the semiconductor device 100 shown, the depth of the first groove 401 is less than the depth of the second groove 402, the size of the gate dielectric layer 303 or the gate region 302 in the thickness direction z of the second sub-drift region 103b is less than the size of the emitter region dielectric layer 308 or the emitter region conductor 307 in the thickness direction z of the second sub-drift region 103b, and the first shielding portion 108 at the bottom of the first groove 401 uses the carrier storage layer 105. During the turn-on process of the semiconductor device 100, the holes injected by the collector region 101 will flow to the region with a lower electric potential. For the holes, there is a certain potential barrier height for the first shielding portion 108 including the carrier storage layer 105, and there is no potential barrier for the second shielding portion 109. Therefore, the holes are more likely to accumulate towards the second shielding portion 109 and are not easy to pass through the first shielding portion 108 with a certain potential barrier and farther from the collector region 101, reducing the influence of the holes on the capacitance of the gate region 302 and improving the gate control ability of the semiconductor device 100. In addition, without considering the interval between the first shielding portion 108 and the second shielding portion 109, the cell width of the semiconductor device 100 can be reduced.
[0078] Compared with the emitter region conductor 307, the size of the gate region 302 in the thickness direction z of the drift region 103 is smaller. During the turn-on process of the semiconductor device 100, holes are not easy to accumulate at the bottom of the gate region 302, and the charging effect of the holes on the gate current is not obvious, so the gate control ability of the semiconductor device 100 is stronger. In addition, the size of the emitter region conductor 307 in the thickness direction z of the drift region 103 is larger, and the second shielding portion 109 at its bottom can better shield the electric field of the gate dielectric layer 303 at the bottom of the first groove 401, reducing the probability of breakdown of the gate dielectric layer 303 and improving its reliability.
[0079] Figure 7 FIG. is a structural diagram of another semiconductor device provided according to some embodiments. The semiconductor device 100 includes a collector region 101, a buffer layer 102, a drift region 103, a well region 106, an emitter region 107, a first metal layer 301, a gate region 302, a gate dielectric layer 303, an isolation dielectric layer 304, a second metal layer 305, an emitter region conductor 307, and an emitter region dielectric layer 308. In Figure 6 the embodiment shown, the first shielding portion 108 includes the carrier storage layer 105, that is, the bottom of the gate dielectric layer 303 is located within the carrier storage layer 105. In Figure 6In the first shielding portion 108 extends from the bottom of the first groove 401 to the second shielding portion 109, and the first shielding portion 108 is in contact with the second shielding portion 109. Figure 7 The remaining structure of the semiconductor device 100 shown is the same as that of Figure 6 the semiconductor device 100 shown, and thus will not be described in detail.
[0080] In some feasible embodiments, the first shielding portion 108 is also in contact with the emitter region dielectric layer 308.
[0081] In some feasible embodiments, the first groove 401 and the second groove 402 have the same size in the thickness direction z of the drift region 103.
[0082] In Figure 7 In the semiconductor device 100 shown, the carrier storage layer 105 serving as the first shielding portion 108 surrounds the gate dielectric layer 303 and the gate region 302. During the turn-on process of the semiconductor device 100, due to the blocking of the first shielding portion 108, the holes injected from the emitter region 107 are not likely to accumulate around the gate dielectric layer 303, which can reduce the influence of hole injection on the gate region current during the turn-on process of the semiconductor device 100 and improve the gate region control ability of the semiconductor device 100.

[0092] In step S60, a first shielding portion and an emitter region 107 are formed on the side of the second sub-drift region 103b away from the collector region 101. The first shielding portion is closer to the collector region 101 than the emitter region 107, obtaining a semiconductor structure as Figure 12 shown. Exemplarily, the first shielding portion includes a carrier storage layer 105, and the doping type of the first shielding portion is N-type.
[0093] The projection of the emission region 107 on the first reference plane overlaps with the projection of the second sub-drift region 103b on the first reference plane, and the first reference plane is parallel to the thickness direction z of the second sub-drift region 103b. The emission region 107 includes a first sub-emission region 107a and a second sub-emission region 107b with different doping types, and the first sub-emission region 107a and the second sub-emission region 107b are arranged along the first direction x.

[0094] In step S70, the second sub-drift region 103b is etched to form a first groove 401, and the bottom of the first groove 401 is located on or inside the surface of the first shielding portion 108.
[0095] In step S80, a gate dielectric layer 303 is formed on the bottom surface and the side wall surface of the first groove 401, and a gate region 302 is formed in the first groove 401. The gate dielectric layer 303 wraps the gate region 302, obtaining the semiconductor device 100 as shown in Figure 6 or Figure 7 Figure.

In some feasible embodiments, the collector region 101, the buffer layer 102, the first sub-drift region 103a, and the second sub-drift region 103b can be sequentially formed on one side of the substrate 306 by epitaxial growth.

[0100] In some feasible embodiments, the initial well region 106c has the same size as the carrier storage layer 105 in the first direction x, and finally the semiconductor device 100 as shown in Figure 4 is obtained. In this case, when the carrier storage layer 105 and the initial well region 106c are respectively formed by an ion implantation process, the same mask, that is, the same photolithographic plate, can be used, which is beneficial to saving process steps and reducing production costs.
[0101] In some feasible embodiments, a hard mask layer is formed on a side of the second sub-drift region 103b away from the collector region 101, the hard mask layer is patterned, and ion implantation is performed on a side of the second sub-drift region 103b away from the collector region 101 by an ion implantation process to form a carrier storage layer 105 with an N-type doping type, an initial well region 106c with a P-type doping type, and an emitter region 107.
