Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a low substrate leakage current LIGBT device and a preparation method thereof, which can be used as high-power devices in electronic devices and systems. Background Art
[0002] The laterally insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT), as a power semiconductor device that combines the high integration, easy driving, and low power consumption characteristics of MOS transistors, as well as the strong current-carrying ability and high output power advantages of BJTs, plays a key role in electronic devices. Its structural design enables it to have high reliability under high voltage and high current conditions and is suitable for hard-switching applications with inductive loads, such as inverter bridge circuits, converter circuits, and chopper circuits. It can also be integrated with logic control circuits, drive circuits, etc. on the same chip and is suitable for intelligent power integrated circuits. However, the LIGBT faces a significant challenge: a large number of holes are injected from the P+ region near the drain into the drift region, and the potential difference between the drain and the substrate electrode provides a path for the injected holes to flow into the substrate. The high hole substrate leakage current will lead to additional power consumption, reduce the overall efficiency, limit its application in high-frequency and high-temperature fields, increase the internal heat of the device, thereby affecting its long-term reliability and lifespan, and also lead to a decrease in the switching speed, increase the switching loss, and affect the performance of the device in high-frequency applications. To isolate or reduce the substrate leakage current, researchers have successively invented structures such as SOI-LIGBT and double-layer partial SOI-LIGBT. However, the introduction of the buried oxide layer is not conducive to integration, resulting in limited application scope, poor heat dissipation, and high process cost.
[0003] In addition, although the participation of holes in conduction can improve the conduction performance, their accumulation in the drift region will cause serious current tailing phenomenon when the LIGBT is turned off, slowing down the turn-off speed of the device. Therefore, reducing the hole substrate leakage current and balancing the trade-off relationship between the conduction voltage drop and the turn-off speed of the device are important research directions for LIGBTs. Currently, researchers are actively exploring various solutions, such as optimizing the device structure, improving the process technology, balancing parameters, and using new materials and new structures to solve the problems of hole substrate leakage current and turn-off speed faced by LIGBTs, in order to promote its application and development in a wider range of fields.
[0004] The patent document with the application number CN202010698250.2 discloses a Schottky accumulation layer silicon carbide lateral field effect transistor and its manufacturing method. This device effectively combines a silicon carbide Schottky accumulation layer and a field plate. The silicon carbide Schottky accumulation layer can generate electrons with a relatively high concentration in the drift region to reduce the on-resistance of the device, while the field plate can effectively reduce the peak electric field at the gate edge, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage of the device. However, due to the high hardness of the silicon carbide material it uses and the great processing difficulty, which requires complex processes such as high temperature and high-energy ion implantation, the production cost of the device prepared using a silicon carbide substrate is relatively high.
[0005] The patent document with the application number CN201810863342.4 discloses a thin SOILIGBT structure with a junction drift region structure. When this structure conducts in the forward direction, the sidewalls of the concave groove block the holes in the drift region from being extracted by the gate, increasing the hole concentration at the gate end of the drift region. At the same time, it also promotes the injection of electrons into the drift region, significantly increasing the carrier concentration at the gate end. However, due to the parameter limitations of the high aspect ratio of the concave groove of this device, the accuracy and stability requirements for the processing equipment are extremely high, resulting in a high degree of process complexity. And although this structure uses SOI material to effectively isolate the substrate leakage current of the device, it is limited in the field of large-scale silicon-based integration, and the disadvantage of its poor heat dissipation is also prone to cause heat accumulation inside the device, affecting the normal working performance of the device. Summary of the Invention

Also, because there is a pair of PN junctions and reverse PN junctions at both ends of the PN junction accumulation layer, it can prevent the device from breaking down prematurely during forward conduction and forward blocking, further improving the breakdown voltage of the device; by changing the Schottky contact barrier of the drain to regulate the injection concentration of holes and electrons; by using the P-type drift region to improve the switching response speed of the device.

[0015] 2. A method for manufacturing the device according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
[0016] 1) Deposit metal on the back surface of the selected P-type substrate 1 to form a substrate electrode 17;
[0017] 2) Place the P-type substrate 1 deposited with the substrate electrode in a reaction chamber, and epitaxially grow an N-type epitaxial layer on the front surface of the P-type substrate 1 by homoepitaxy technology to form an N-type drift region 2;
[0018] 3) Epitaxially grow a P-type epitaxial layer on the front surface of the N-type drift region 2 by homoepitaxy technology to form a P-type drift region 3;
[0019] 4) In the P-type drift region 3, ion implantation is sequentially performed to form a P-type base region 6, a P+ source region 4, and an N-type buffer region 7, and the lattice damage is repaired by rapid thermal annealing;

[0022] 7) Ion implantation is performed on the upper surface of the polysilicon to form a first P-type region 10, a first N-type region 11, a second N-type region 12, and a second P-type region 13, and the lattice damage is repaired by rapid thermal annealing, constituting
[0023] 8) Metal is deposited in the regions of the P+ source region 4 and the N+ source region 5 to form a source electrode 14; metal is deposited on the surface of the first P-type region 10 to form a gate electrode 15, and metal is deposited on the surfaces of the P+ drain region 8 and the second P-type region 13 to form a drain electrode 16;
[0024] 9) A passivation layer is deposited on the surface of the sample after the above steps and chemical mechanical polishing is performed to make the surface flat, completing the device fabrication.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0026] 1. Since the PN junction formed in the P-type drift region and the N-type drift region of the present invention will generate a built-in electric field opposite to the hole substrate leakage current, it can block the movement of holes towards the substrate during the normal operation of the device. At the same time, since the longitudinal distance between the N-type buffer region and the N-type drift region is close and its concentration is higher than that of the P-type drift region, the electric potentials of the N-type buffer region and the N-type drift region are similar and higher than that of the P-type drift region, which can further inhibit the movement of holes towards the substrate and significantly alleviate the substrate leakage.
[0027] 2. Since the PN junction accumulation layer forms an electron thin layer connecting the source electrode and the drain electrode on the surface of the P-type drift region during the normal operation of the device, the present invention can keep the device at a low on-state voltage drop. Also, since there is a pair of PN junctions and reverse PN junctions at both ends of the PN junction accumulation layer, the device can be prevented from premature breakdown during forward conduction and forward blocking, improving the device breakdown voltage.
[0028] 3. Since a P-type drift region is provided in the present invention, electrons can recombine in the P-type drift region during the turn-off process, thereby accelerating the disappearance of electrons and further optimizing the turn-off performance of the device.
[0029] 4. Since various metal materials with different work functions can be selected as the drain metal or the P+ drain region can be doped with different concentrations in the present invention, the Schottky contact barrier of the drain can be changed, so as to regulate the injection concentrations of holes and electrons.
[0030] 5. Since an N-type buffer region is introduced below the P+ drain region in the present invention, it can not only receive electrons flowing from the source to the drain, but also modulate the lateral and longitudinal electric fields of the device, further improving the breakdown voltage capability of the device.
[0031] The test results show that the present invention not only alleviates the contradictory relationship between the turn-off characteristics and the on-state loss of the device, realizes a good compromise between the two, but also alleviates the substrate hole leakage.

[0177] Then, apply pressure to the polishing pad to make it rotate, so that SiO2 in the polishing liquid ensures the surface of the sample becomes flat through mechanical action.
[0178] Finally, clean the polished sample with deionized water and a cleaning agent to remove the residual polishing liquid and complete the device fabrication.
[0179] The effects of the present invention can be further illustrated by the following simulation experiment results:
[0180] I. Simulation conditions
[0181] The software used for the simulation is Sentaurus TCAD.
[0182] Set the breakdown voltage rating of the device to 600 V.
[0183] II. Simulation content
[0184] Simulation 1, under the above simulation conditions, simulate the current density of the hole leakage current in the substrate of the device of Embodiment 1 of the present invention and the traditional LIGBT device in the forward conduction state. The results are as Figure 3 shown. From Figure 3 it can be seen that the current density of the hole substrate leakage current of the traditional LIGBT is 146.3 A / cm 2 , while the current density of the hole substrate leakage current of the present invention is 0.006 A / cm 2 . The difference in the current density of the hole substrate leakage current between the two is within five orders of magnitude, indicating that the N-type drift region of the device of the present invention can well block the flow of holes from the drain to the substrate, thereby alleviating the problem of large substrate leakage current of the device.
[0185] Simulation 2, under the above simulation conditions, simulate the breakdown voltage characteristics of the device of Embodiment 1 of the present invention and the traditional LIGBT device respectively. The results are as Figure 4 shown. From Figure 4It can be seen that the breakdown voltage of the traditional LIGBT is 586.1V, while the breakdown voltage of the present invention is 729.9V. The voltage withstand capacity of the present invention is increased by 24.5% compared with the traditional LIGBT device.
[0186] Simulation 3: Under the above simulation conditions, the turn-off characteristics of the device of Embodiment 1 of the present invention and the traditional LIGBT device are respectively simulated, and the results are as Figure 5 shown. From Figure 5 it can be seen that the turn-off time of the traditional LIGBT is 231.4 nanoseconds, while the turn-off time of the present invention is 91.7 nanoseconds. The turn-off characteristics of the device of the present invention are improved by 60.4% compared with the traditional LIGBT device.
[0187] The above are only several preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, after understanding the content and principle of the present invention, various modifications or substitutions in form and details may be made without departing from the principle and structure of the present invention. For example, in addition to silicon, the device manufacturing material may also be materials such as germanium, gallium arsenide, silicon carbide, or heteroepitaxial materials. However, these corrections and changes based on the idea of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
