Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductors, and in particular to a MOSFET epitaxial structure with a hydrogen-containing termination, a preparation method and a power device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, silicon carbide, as a typical representative of the third generation of semiconductor materials, has superior material properties compared to the previous two generations of semiconductor materials, such as high breakdown field, high thermal conductivity, high electron saturation velocity, and strong radiation resistance, and is more suitable for making high-temperature, high-frequency, and radiation-resistant power devices.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of power device applications, silicon-based devices have gradually been unable to meet application requirements due to their own material limitations, especially in high voltage, high conversion efficiency, and power density, which have made the third generation of semiconductors, including SiC, the preferred material for replacing Si-based devices. SiC power MOSFET, as an important SiC power device, is widely used in power electronic systems due to its simple gate drive circuit, high operating frequency, high power density, and high conversion efficiency.

[0004] CN210805778U discloses a SiC-MOS device structure, which includes a metal drain, a silicon carbide N+ substrate, and a silicon carbide N- epitaxial layer arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The silicon carbide N- epitaxial layer has source trenches on the upper left and upper right sides. The source trenches have a silicon carbide P+ doped region and a silicon carbide P-type doped region from top to bottom below the source trenches. The source trenches are filled with Schottky contact metal. The gate trench has a gate structure inside and on the surface. The first and second mesa structures are composed of the silicon carbide N- epitaxial layer, the silicon carbide P-type doped region, and the silicon carbide N+ source region.

[0005] CN119997582A discloses a 3C-SiC composite epitaxial structure and device structure based on 4H-SiC. The composite epitaxial structure includes a 4H-SiC substrate, an N-type doped epitaxial layer, a P-type doped buried layer, a carrier tunneling region, and a 3C-SiC epitaxial layer. The N-type doped epitaxial layer is arranged on the 4H-SiC substrate. The 3C-SiC epitaxial layer is secondarily epitaxied or bonded to the surface of the N-type doped epitaxial layer. The contact interface layer between the 3C-SiC epitaxial layer and the N-type doped epitaxial layer forms a carrier tunneling region. The P-type doped buried layer is ion implanted in the upper region of the N-type doped epitaxial layer. This structure can effectively solve the problems of limited improvement of interface state density and channel electron mobility, poor conduction capacity of the device, and poor electrical performance and long-term reliability in the prior art of preparing SiC-MOS devices using 4H-SiC as a substrate.

[0006] Although the 4H-SiC MOSFET has made remarkable progress in the research at home and abroad in recent years, there are still problems in the SiO2 / SiC interface quality, wherein the mismatch between the 4H-SiC material and SiO2 causes the dangling bond to be a factor restricting the further improvement of the performance of the 4H-SiC MOSFET.
