Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular to a trench Schottky diode based on a stripe-type terminal and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The Trench Schottky diode (TMBS) is a majority carrier device that utilizes the contact barrier between metal and semiconductor. By utilizing the charge coupling effect of the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure, the electric field intensity distribution in the drift region between the MOS structures is changed, suppressing the peak electric field intensity at the surface of the Schottky barrier junction in the drift region, causing the peak electric field intensity to appear within the device body, thereby optimizing the device's forward and reverse electrical parameter characteristics. Because this diode has the characteristics of a lower forward voltage drop and faster speed than ordinary pn structure diodes, it has a wide range of applications in modern communications, ultra-high-speed devices, microwave circuits, switching power supplies, inverters, and drives.

[0003] In the design of TMBS products, there are two types of grooves. One is a large-area array of circular hole-type single-cell grooves arranged in the chip, and the other is the terminal groove at the outermost circle of the chip. In order to ensure the reverse breakdown characteristics of the product, it is necessary to keep the distance from each outermost circular hole groove to the terminal groove equal, that is, D1=D2. In order to ensure D1=D2, the existing design needs to design the terminal groove into an arc shape. Therefore, the unit cell of the existing technical solution is also a circular or regular polygonal groove, arranged in an equilateral triangle array, such as Figure 1 This structural design has the following disadvantages: (1) There are sharp corners at the intersection of the arc-shaped terminal grooves. This sharp corner position will cause electric field concentration when the device withstands reverse voltage, which is prone to thermal breakdown failure in terminal applications (see Figure 1 ). When reverse voltage is applied to TMBS products, the electric field will concentrate near the groove and will be more concentrated at the sharp corners. As the reverse voltage increases, the electric field concentration position will first break down. The high electric field intensity and high current density at this position will cause heat concentration and there will be a risk of chip burning and breakdown failure. (2) In the manufacture of TMBS product chips, the lithography window boundary of the contact hole lithography should be at the center of the terminal groove. If the lithography boundary deviates from the terminal groove, the chip will directly break down and lose its reverse cutoff function (such as Figure 2 (B in the middle). The arc-shaped terminal design increases the difficulty of the contact hole lithography process, requiring stricter contact hole lithography alignment accuracy and contact hole size control, which can easily affect product yield and increase costs.

The preparation process can use evaporation or sputtering, and the metal type of the electrode can be aluminum or silver.

[0086] Example 2

[0087] For the trench Schottky diode with stripe terminals in Example 1, four design schemes were developed. Each design scheme included different X- and Y-direction offsets for the hole lithography. The X-direction offsets were 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 μm, respectively, and the Y-direction offset was 0.2 μm. The groups were numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.

[0088] Prepare as Figure 1-Figure 2The trench Schottky diode with arc-shaped terminals shown in the figure was fabricated using conventional methods. Four sets of design proposals were developed, each containing different X- and Y-direction offsets for the aperture lithography. The X-direction offsets were 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 μm, respectively, and the Y-direction offset was 0.2 μm. The groups were numbered 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively.

[0089] Ideally, the contact hole lithography window boundary is at the center of the terminal trench, see Figure 2 A. In the actual processing process, as long as the X-direction contact hole lithography bias is less than 1 / 2 of the terminal groove width, it can ensure that the contact hole lithography window boundary is inside the terminal groove, and reverse breakdown failure will not occur. However, in the actual chip processing process, the lithography will have a certain offset. The stronger the production line process capability, the smaller the probability of bias and the smaller the bias. However, in the mass production process, zero bias is usually not met. After the existing design scheme has a bias in the Y direction, the bias window in the X direction will become smaller. The bias window is T, and T is less than 1 / 2 of the terminal groove width. See Figure 2 The terminal groove of the present invention is long and narrow, which solves the above technical problems. After the hole lithography is biased in the Y direction, it does not affect the bias window in the X direction. T is still equal to 1 / 2 of the terminal groove width. Figure 6 .

[0090] The design above underwent bias pull processing during the hole lithography process. After product fabrication, parameter testing was conducted using the following standards: VZ > 52V, IR < 20uA, and VF < 470mV. The parameters and test results are shown in Table 1.

[0091] Table 1 Hole lithography bias parameters and test results

[0092]

[0093] From the results in Table 1, we can see that the qualified rate of the existing arc-shaped terminal design scheme begins to drop significantly after the hole lithography exceeds 0.2um in the Y direction and 0.2um in the X direction. The qualified rate failure MAP waste distribution diagram of the 8th group of experimental chips is shown in the figure below. Figure 11 The figure shows a regular lithography SHOT distribution, with the failure point area marked with an ×, which clearly shows that the low pass rate is affected by lithography bias. However, the four groups of samples designed by the present invention did not have the problem of low pass rate, with a pass rate of ≥98.11%.

[0094] The design schemes of Group 1 and Group 5 were selected for chip packaging, and the reverse limit voltage withstand capability of the chip was tested. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0095] Table 2 Comparison results of reverse ultimate withstand voltage capability

[0096]

[0097] As can be seen from Table 2, the existing design of trench Schottky diodes with arc-shaped terminals began to fail in large numbers after the reverse withstand voltage exceeded 6kV, while the design of the present invention only showed minor failures after 9kV. This shows that the reverse withstand voltage of the product designed by the present invention after packaging is significantly better than that of the existing design under the same process conditions. The design of the present invention has a greater tolerance for hole lithography bias, resulting in a higher chip yield when the hole lithography bias is present, reducing the difficulty of production and processing, and the reverse withstand voltage after packaging is better than that of the existing design.

[0098] It should be understood that the various forms of the processes shown above can be used to reorder, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in the present disclosure can be performed in parallel, sequentially, or in a different order, as long as the desired results of the technical solutions disclosed in the present disclosure can be achieved. This is not limited herein.

[0099] The above specific embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions may be made based on design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
