[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Figure 1 Structural diagram of a trench-type silicon carbide MOSFET provided in Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. The trench-type silicon carbide MOSFET includes: a metallized drain (1), an N-type silicon carbide substrate (2), an N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3), a silicon dioxide interlayer dielectric (10), and a metallized source (12) from bottom to top.

[0038] The metallized source (12) is respectively connected to the top of the N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3) and the top of the silicon dioxide interlayer dielectric (10).

[0039] The N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3) includes gate trenches.

[0040] The gate trench is located at the top middle of the N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3) and is formed by etching. A gate (7) and a shielding gate (8) are vertically arranged in the gate trench. The gate (7) is located above the shielding gate (8). The gate (7) and the shielding gate (8) are surrounded and separated by a silicon dioxide interlayer dielectric (10). The top of the shielding gate (8) is connected to the source potential.

[0041] Among them, the shielding gate (8) may include a top-layer shielding gate (8-1), a middle-layer shielding gate (8-2), and a bottom-layer shielding gate (8-3) arranged in a stepped manner.

[0042] By etching a source trench in the middle between the vertically arranged N+ source region and the P-type body region, the lateral ohmic contact can be changed to a vertical contact, reducing the source contact size. The surface P+ contact region is introduced to the bottom of the P-type body region, and the ohmic contacts of the source with the N+ source region and the P-type body region are short-circuited simultaneously. The initial structure of the P+ contact region on the surface is as Figure 1 shown, and a smaller N+ source region width can be achieved, thereby reducing the size of the entire cell region and increasing the current density of the device.

[0043] In this embodiment, a trench-type shielding gate silicon carbide MOSFET device structure without an integrated Schottky diode can be realized, as Figure 2 shown. A trench-type shielding gate silicon carbide MOSFET device structure with an integrated Schottky diode can also be realized. To integrate the Schottky diode, source trenches with different depths can be etched and arranged at intervals, as Figure 3 shown. A source trench P+ contact region is provided under the source trench with a shallower etching depth, and there is no P+ implantation under the source trench with a deeper etching depth. Titanium metal Ti is deposited in the source trench and directly contacts the N-type epitaxial layer to form a Schottky contact. Integrating a Schottky diode in the source trench can reduce the reverse recovery loss.

[0044] In particular, by introducing a shielding gate between the gate and the drain, the gate-drain Cgd capacitance of the overlapping part of the gate electrode and the source electrode is significantly reduced. Since the shielding gate is connected to the source electrode, the gate-source capacitance Cgs has an additional capacitance part Cgs2 of the overlapping polysilicon of the gate and the source. The bottom of the source polysilicon overlaps with the drain, increasing the drain-source capacitance Cds2. To reduce the introduced drain-source capacitance Cds2, a shielding gate is arranged in the source trench, including at least three doped layers stacked in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the trench, and their depths are kept consistent, all being 1 / 3 of the total depth of the source polysilicon. The top layer is a heavily doped N-type polysilicon, and the doping concentration range is about 1E20 cm -3 or so, and the doping concentration range can be set according to actual needs to achieve an effective ohmic contact of the source electrode.

[0045] The doping types of adjacent two layers are opposite. In the case where the number of doped layers is three, the middle layer is P-type polysilicon, and the bottom layer is set as N-type polysilicon. The PN junction capacitances of two adjacent layers are connected in series with the introduced drain-source capacitance Cds2 to achieve the reduction of Cds2. The components of the drain-source capacitance Cds2 are as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown. The doping concentration of each layer of polysilicon gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the doping concentration of the bottom N-type polysilicon is the lowest. Similarly, the width of the three-layer doped layer gradually decreases from top to bottom, reducing the overlapping area between PN junctions to achieve the reduction of the PN junction capacitance and further reducing the magnitude of the drain-source capacitance Cds2.

[0046] A gate oxide protection structure can also be set at the bottom of the trench to improve the electronic performance of the device. The gate oxide protection structure at the bottom of the trench can adopt a direct shielding type, and high-concentration P+ is injected at the bottom and sidewalls of the gate trench to protect the trench. As Figure 6 shown, the P+ on the sidewall of the gate trench is periodically injected, and N-type carrier layers are injected between two P+ contact regions and on the right side of the gate trench, reducing the channel resistance and increasing the current density.

[0047] In this embodiment, through the structure of the trench-type silicon carbide MOSFET, it is finally possible to achieve, on the basis of a high breakdown voltage, the reduction of the device cell size and on-resistance, the reduction of the gate-drain capacitance while improving the problem of the increase in the drain-source capacitance. At the same time, a Schottky diode is integrated in the source trench, reducing the switching loss and achieving higher performance.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting a shielding gate in the gate trench, it is possible to reduce both the drain-source capacitance Cgd and the drain-source capacitance Cds on the basis of reducing the drain-source capacitance Cds, avoiding the increase in the drain-source capacitance Cds. The shielding gate with a multi-stage stepped sandwich NPN structure has a better effect. By introducing the source trench, the lateral ohmic contact is changed to a vertical contact, reducing the source contact size, introducing the surface P+ contact region to the bottom of the P-type body region, and shorting the ohmic contacts of the source with the N+ source region and the P-type body region simultaneously, achieving a smaller N+ source region width, thereby reducing the size of the entire cell region, reducing the device size, and increasing the current density of the device. At the same time, a P+ contact region at the bottom of the gate trench and a P+ contact region on the sidewall of the gate trench are respectively set at the bottom and sidewalls of the gate trench, that is, the P+ region protects the gate oxide to achieve the protection of the gate trench, and N-type carrier layers are injected between two P+ contact regions and on the right side of the gate trench, reducing the channel resistance and increasing the current density.

[0049] In one embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3) further includes: a P-type body region (4), a source trench P+ contact region (5-1), a gate trench sidewall P+ contact region (5-2), a gate trench bottom P+ contact region (5-3), an N+ source region (6), and an N-type carrier layer (9).

[0050] The N+ source region (6) is located at the top of the N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3) and is distributed on the left and right sides of the gate trench.

[0051] The P-type body region (4) is located below the N+ source region (6) and is distributed on the left and right sides of the source trench. A source trench (11) is provided in the middle of the N+ source region (6) and the P-type body region (4).

[0052] The source trench P+ contact region (5-1) is located in the P-type body region (4) and is periodically provided below the metallized source (12).

[0053] The gate trench bottom P+ contact region (5-3) is provided at the bottom of the gate trench, the gate trench sidewall P+ contact region (5-2) is provided on the left sidewall of the gate trench, and the N-type carrier layer (9) is provided on the right sidewall of the gate trench.

[0054] Among them, by etching a source trench in the middle of the vertically arranged N+ source region and the P-type body region, changing the lateral ohmic contact to a vertical contact, reducing the source contact size, introducing the surface P+ contact region to the bottom of the P-type body region, short-circuiting the ohmic contacts of the source with the N+ source region and the P-type body region at the same time, the initial structure of the P+ contact region located on the surface is as Figure 1 shown, a smaller N+ source region width can be achieved, thereby reducing the size of the entire cell region and increasing the current density of the device.

[0055] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the shield gate is a multi-stage stepped polysilicon, the number of polysilicon layers is vertically arranged at least three layers, and the doping types of adjacent two layers of polysilicon are opposite. The polysilicon on the top layer close to the gate side is connected to the source potential.

[0056] Among them, the shield gate provided in the source trench includes at least three doped layers stacked in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the trench, and their depths are kept consistent, all being 1 / 3 of the total source polysilicon depth.

[0057] The top layer (8-1) can be set as heavily doped N-type polysilicon from top to bottom in sequence, and the doping concentration range can be about 1E20 cm -3 or the doping concentration range can be set according to actual needs to achieve effective ohmic contact of the source electrode.

[0058] The doping types of adjacent two layers are opposite. When the number of doping layers is three, the middle layer (8-2) is made of P-type polysilicon, and the bottom layer (8-3) is set as N-type polysilicon. The doping concentration of each polysilicon layer gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the doping concentration of the bottom N-type polysilicon is the lowest. The widths of the three doping layers also gradually decrease from top to bottom, reducing the overlapping area of the PN junction capacitance and further reducing the drain-source capacitance.

[0059] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the polysilicon source is set, introducing gate-source capacitance Cgs2 and drain-source capacitance Cds2. Among them, Cds2 includes the capacitance Cp1 formed by the N-type polysilicon 8-1 at the top of the polysilicon shielding gate and the P+ contact region (5-2) of the gate trench sidewall on the left side of the trench, plus the capacitance Cp2 formed by the P+ contact region (5-2) of the gate trench sidewall and the N-type epitaxial layer, the capacitance Cp3 formed by the N-type polysilicon (8-3) at the bottom of the polysilicon shielding gate and the P+ contact region (5-3) at the bottom of the gate trench, plus the capacitance Cp4 formed by the P+ contact region (5-3) at the bottom of the gate trench and the N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3), plus the series-connected Cj1 and Cj2 formed by the PN junction capacitances between adjacent two.

[0060] The PN junction capacitances between adjacent two are connected in series with the introduced drain-source capacitance Cds2 to reduce Cds2. The components of the drain-source capacitance Cds2 are as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown. The doping concentration of each polysilicon layer gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the doping concentration of the bottom N-type polysilicon is the lowest. Similarly, the widths of the three doping layers gradually decrease from top to bottom, reducing the overlapping area between the PN junctions and reducing the PN junction capacitance, further reducing the magnitude of the drain-source capacitance Cds2.

[0061] More specifically, the P+ contact region (5-2) of the gate trench sidewall at the top of the N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3) is set to be periodically connected to the P-type body region (4), and an N-type carrier layer (9) is arranged between two adjacent P+ contact regions (5-2) of the gate trench sidewall, increasing the current density and reducing the on-resistance while making the P+ contact region (5-2) of the gate trench sidewall connected to the source potential.

[0062] Refer to Figure 3, by etching the source trench (11) between the vertically arranged N+ source region (6) and the P-type body region (4), the lateral ohmic contact is changed to a vertical contact, reducing the source contact size. The P+ region on the surface is introduced to the bottom of the P-type body region (4), shorting the ohmic contacts of the source with the N+ source region (6) and the P-type body region (4) simultaneously. The etching depths of adjacent source trenches (11) are different. A source trench P+ contact region (5-1) is provided under the source trench (11) with a shallower etching depth, and there is no P+ implantation under the source trench (11) with a deeper etching depth. Titanium metal Ti (13) is deposited in the trench, directly contacting the N-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer (3) to form a Schottky contact. A Schottky diode is integrated in the source trench (11), and at the same time, the ohmic contact between the N+ source region (6) and the source trench P+ contact region (5-1) is also achieved.

[0063] In one embodiment, the shield gate includes three-layer doped polysilicon stacked in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the gate trench.

[0064] The top polysilicon is heavily doped N-type polysilicon with a doping concentration of 1E20 cm -3 , to achieve an effective ohmic contact of the source electrode.

[0065] The middle polysilicon is P-type polysilicon, and the bottom polysilicon is N-type polysilicon, and the doping concentrations of each layer of polysilicon gradually decrease from top to bottom, with the lowest doping concentration of the bottom polysilicon.

[0066] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, the gate trench sidewall P+ contact region (5-2) is periodically connected to the P-type body region (4), and adjacent two gate trench sidewall P+ contact regions (5-2) are separated by an N-type carrier layer (9).

[0067] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the trench-type silicon carbide MOSFET further includes: a source trench (11).

[0068] The source trench P+ contact region (5-1) is periodically arranged under the source trench (11), and the source trench P+ contact region (5-1) is connected to the metallized source (12) through the source trench (11).

[0069] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the etching depths of adjacent two source trenches (11) are different, and each source trench (11) forms a contact with the corresponding source trench P+ contact region (5-1) or the Schottky metal (13).

[0070] Among them, the Schottky metal (13) can use metal titanium.

[0071] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the source trench P+ contact regions (5-1) below each source trench (11) are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the source trench (11) and form ohmic contacts with the corresponding source trenches (11).

[0074] In this embodiment, by arranging a shielding gate in the gate trench, it is possible to simultaneously reduce the drain-source capacitance Cds while reducing the drain-gate capacitance Cgd, avoiding an increase in the drain-source capacitance Cds. A multi-stage stepped sandwich NPN structure for the shielding gate has a better effect; by introducing source trenches, changing the lateral ohmic contact to a vertical contact, reducing the source contact size, introducing the surface P+ contact region to the bottom of the P-type body region, shorting the ohmic contacts of the source with the N+ source region and the P-type body region simultaneously, achieving a smaller N+ source region width, thereby reducing the size of the entire cell region, reducing the device size, and increasing the current density of the device; at the same time, a P+ contact region at the bottom of the gate trench and a P+ contact region on the sidewall of the gate trench are respectively arranged at the bottom and sidewalls of the gate trench, that is, the P+ region protects the gate oxide to achieve the protection of the gate trench, and N-type carrier layers are injected between every two P+ contact regions and on the right side of the gate trench, reducing the channel resistance and increasing the current density.
