Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In order to make ordinary skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the description and claims of the present application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in other than the order illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a list of steps or units need not be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.

[0028] It should also be noted that the division of the plurality of embodiments in the present application is only for the convenience of description, and should not constitute a special limitation. The features in various embodiments can be combined with each other and mutually quoted without contradiction.

[0029] With reference to Figure 1 An embodiment of the present application provides an insulated gate field effect transistor 100, comprising a semiconductor layer 10, a gate oxide layer 20 and a gate layer 30 which are sequentially stacked along a first direction. The semiconductor layer 10 has a drift layer 11, a first doped semiconductor layer 12 and a second doped semiconductor layer 13. The drift layer 11 has a first sub-region 111, which is located on the side of the gate oxide layer 20 away from the gate layer 30, such as Figure 1In the orientation shown, the first sub-region 111 is located below the gate oxide layer 20. The first doped semiconductor layer 12 is located at one end of the drift layer 11 near the gate oxide layer 20. The first doped semiconductor layer 12 includes a second sub-region 121 and a third sub-region 122, respectively, located on opposite sides of the first sub-region 111. The second doped semiconductor layer 13 includes a fourth sub-region 131 and a fifth sub-region 132. The fourth sub-region 131 is surrounded by the second sub-region 121, and the surface of the fourth sub-region 131 near the gate oxide layer 20 is exposed outside the second sub-region 121. The fifth sub-region 132 is surrounded by the third sub-region 122, and the surface of the third sub-region 122 near the gate oxide layer 20 is exposed outside the third sub-region 122. The second doped semiconductor layer 13 has the same doping type as the drift layer 11, but a different doping type from the first doped semiconductor layer 12. The first sub-region 111, the second sub-region 121, the third sub-region 122, the fourth sub-region 131, and the fifth sub-region 132 are all connected to the gate oxide layer 20. The insulated gate field effect transistor 100 further includes a first functional layer 40. The gate oxide layer 20 has a first surface 201 in contact with the gate layer 30. The first functional layer 40 is disposed between the first surface 201 and the semiconductor layer 10. The orthographic projection of the first functional layer 40 on the semiconductor layer 10 is located within the first sub-region 111.

[0030] like Figure 1 In the orientation shown, the first direction is from bottom to top. The drift layer 11 may also be referred to as an EPI layer or an epitaxial layer. The insulated gate field effect transistor 100 may be classified as an N-type field effect transistor or a P-type field effect transistor based on whether the doping type of the drift layer 11 semiconductor is N-type doped or P-type doped. For example, if the drift layer 11 is N-type doped, the insulated gate field effect transistor 100 is an N-type field effect transistor. When the drift layer 11 is N-type doped, the second doped semiconductor layer 13 is also N-type doped, and the first doped semiconductor layer 12 is P-type doped. When the drift layer 11 is P-type doped, the second doped semiconductor layer 13 is also P-type doped, and the first doped semiconductor layer 12 is N-type doped.

[0031] The gate oxide layer 20 may be made of silicon oxide, for example. Figure 1The gate oxide layer 20 is shown covering the first sub-region 111 and extending towards both sides of the first sub-region 111 to connect with the second sub-region 121, the third sub-region 122, the fourth sub-region 131 and the fifth sub-region 132. The fourth sub-region 131 and the fifth sub-region 132 form the source of the insulated gate field effect transistor 100. The gate layer 30, for example, a poly layer, forms the gate of the insulated gate field effect transistor 100. The insulated gate field effect transistor 100 is further provided with a substrate layer on the side of the drift layer 11 away from the gate oxide layer 20, and a drain layer below the substrate layer away from the drift layer 11. The insulated gate field effect transistor 100 can be a silicon carbide MOS, the substrate layer is for example a silicon carbide substrate, and the drift layer 11 is an N-type doped silicon carbide epitaxial layer. The drain has the same electrical property as the drift layer 11, for example, when the drift layer 11 is N-type doped, the drain is also an N electrode.

[0032] The first functional layer 40 is located between the first surface 201 and the semiconductor layer 10, which means that the first functional layer 40 is not higher than the gate oxide layer 20, i.e. the first functional layer 40 is located on the inner side of the gate oxide layer 20 close to the semiconductor layer 10, but not on the outer side of the gate oxide layer 20 away from the semiconductor layer 10. For example, referring to Figure 1 , the first functional layer 40 can be completely located below the gate oxide layer 20, i.e. the first functional layer 40 is located between the second surface 202 of the gate oxide layer 20 and the first sub-region 111, at this time the first functional layer 40 is in contact with the first sub-region 111. Or in another embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the first functional layer 40 can be located inside the gate oxide layer 20, neither in contact with the semiconductor layer 10 nor in contact with the gate layer 30. The orthographic projection of the first functional layer 40 on the semiconductor layer 10 is within the first sub-region 111, i.e. the first functional layer 40 does not extend towards both sides to cover the second sub-region 121 and the third sub-region 122, i.e. the first functional layer 40 does not cover the channel.

[0033] In the related art, taking silicon carbide MOS as an example, the electric field intensity below the gate is large due to the material characteristics and manufacturing process. The above embodiments of the present application increase the material thickness between the corresponding gate layer 30 and the first sub-region 111 by arranging the first functional layer 40. For example, the thickness of the gate oxide layer 20 is about 600 angstroms, and the thickness of the first functional layer 40 is 300 angstroms. In the region where the first functional layer 40 is arranged, the thickness between the gate layer 30 below and the first sub-region 111 (or the semiconductor layer 10) is 900 angstroms. Therefore, the arrangement of the first functional layer 40 can enhance the overall strength of the layers below the gate layer 30, and has better breakdown resistance. In addition, the first functional layer 40 does not cover the channel. For the region where the first functional layer 40 is not arranged, the thickness between the gate layer 30 below and the semiconductor layer 10 is 600 angstroms. The stability of the insulated gate field effect transistor 100 can be improved without affecting the on-resistance Ron of the first functional layer 40.

[0034] In some embodiments, the material of the first functional layer 40 is the same as that of the gate oxide layer 20. That is, the first functional layer 40 can be a silicon oxide material. The material is easy to obtain by using the material and process used in the existing field effect transistor process, which can ensure lower production cost and difficulty. The thickness of the first functional layer 40 along the first direction can be 100-1000 angstroms (A) 1 angstrom = 10 -10 meters, and more specifically, 300-600 angstroms.

[0035] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the first functional layer 40 includes a first material layer 41 and a second material layer 42 stacked in sequence along the first direction. The first material layer 41 is the same as the material of the gate oxide layer 20, and the second material layer 42 is the same as the material of the gate layer 30. For example, the first material layer 41 is a silicon oxide material, and the second material layer 42 is a polysilicon material. On the one hand, the first material layer 41 and the second material layer 42 are selected from the material and process used in the existing field effect transistor process, which is easy to obtain and can ensure lower production cost and difficulty. On the other hand, the arrangement of the first functional layer 40 as the first material layer 41 and the second material layer 42 in a stacked structure can realize a double-gate structure. In actual application, the second material layer 42 can be floating or connected to the Source (ground) of the insulated gate field effect transistor 100, which can reduce the Cgd junction capacitance. Therefore, the above arrangement can improve the reliability while reducing the Cgd junction capacitance. The thickness of the first material layer 41 is, for example, 600-1000 angstroms, such as 600 angstroms, 800 angstroms, 1000 angstroms, etc. The thickness of the second material layer 42 is, for example, 3000-6000 angstroms, such as 3000 angstroms, 3500 angstroms, 3700 angstroms, 4000 angstroms, 4500 angstroms, 5000 angstroms, 6000 angstroms, etc.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the gate oxide layer 20 has a first oxide layer 21 and a second oxide layer 22 stacked in sequence along the first direction. The first functional layer 40 is located between the first oxide layer 21 and the second oxide layer 22. The first oxide layer 21 and the second oxide layer 22 can have the same thickness, for example, 300-1000 angstroms. The first functional layer 40 is arranged between the first oxide layer 21 and the second oxide layer 22, so that the first functional layer 40 is not in contact with the first sub-region 111, and the limitation of the material of the first functional layer 40 is reduced.

[0037] In some embodiments, the material of the first functional layer 40 between the first oxide layer 21 and the second oxide layer 22 is the same as the material of the gate layer 30, so that an SGT (split gate) structure is formed in the insulated gate field effect transistor 100. In actual application, the first functional layer 40 can be floating or connected to the Source of the insulated gate field effect transistor 100, which can reduce the Cgd junction capacitance. Therefore, the above arrangement can enhance the reliability while reducing the Cgd junction capacitance. The thickness of the first functional layer 40 is 3000-6000 angstroms, for example, 3000 angstroms, 3500 angstroms, 3700 angstroms, 4000 angstroms, 4500 angstroms, 5000 angstroms, 6000 angstroms, etc.

[0038] In some embodiments, for the structure shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2 , the first functional layer 40 has a higher electric field strength than the gate oxide layer 20. For example, the gate oxide layer 20 is a silicon oxide material, and the first functional layer 40 can be selected as Si3N4 (silicon nitride), which has a higher electric field strength than the silicon oxide material. The material itself can be used to improve the electric field strength while enhancing the thickness. In some embodiments, the thickness of the first functional layer 40 in the first direction is 100-1000 angstroms, more specifically, 300-600 angstroms, for example, 300 angstroms, 400 angstroms, 450 angstroms, 500 angstroms, 600 angstroms, etc.

[0039] Referring to Figures 4 to 7 , the present embodiment also provides a preparation method of an insulated gate field effect transistor, which can prepare the insulated gate field effect transistor 100 provided in the foregoing embodiments. The preparation method comprises:

[0040] S1: sequentially forming a semiconductor layer 10, a gate oxide layer 20 and a gate electrode layer 30; the semiconductor layer 10 has a drift layer 11, the drift layer 11 has a first sub-region 111, the first sub-region 111 is located on a side of the gate oxide layer 20 away from the gate electrode layer 30; a first doped semiconductor layer 12 is located on an end of the drift layer 11 close to the gate oxide layer 20; the first doped semiconductor layer 12 includes a second sub-region 121 and a third sub-region 122 arranged on opposite sides of the first sub-region 111; a second doped semiconductor layer 13 includes a fourth sub-region 131 and a fifth sub-region 132; the fourth sub-region 131 is surrounded by the second sub-region 121 and the surface of the fourth sub-region 131 close to the gate oxide layer 20 is exposed outside the second sub-region 121; the fifth sub-region 132 is surrounded by the third sub-region 122 and the surface of the fifth sub-region 132 close to the gate oxide layer 20 is exposed outside the third sub-region 122; the second doped semiconductor layer 13 has the same doping type as the drift layer 11 and has a different doping type from the first doped semiconductor layer 12; the first sub-region 111, the second sub-region 121, the third sub-region 122, the fourth sub-region 131 and the fifth sub-region 132 are all connected to the gate oxide layer 20;

[0041] S2: forming a first functional layer 40; the first functional layer 40 is formed after the forming step of the semiconductor layer 10 is completed and before the forming step of the gate oxide layer 20 is completed, and the orthographic projection of the first functional layer 40 on the semiconductor layer 10 is located in the first sub-region 111.

[0042] The specific description of the semiconductor layer 10, the gate oxide layer 20 and the gate electrode layer 30 can refer to the description of the aforementioned insulated gate field effect transistor 100. For example, step S1 includes a step S11 of forming the semiconductor layer 10, for example, forming the drift layer 11, the first doped semiconductor layer 12 and the second doped semiconductor layer 13 of the semiconductor layer 10 on the substrate layer by ion implantation. Step S1 also includes a step S12 of forming the gate oxide layer 20 on the semiconductor layer 10, and a step S13 of forming the gate electrode layer 30 on the gate oxide layer 20.

[0043] The step S2 is performed after the forming step of the semiconductor layer 10 is completed and before the forming step of the gate oxide layer 20, that is, the step S2 can be inserted between the step S11 and the step S12, or the step S2 can be inserted in the step S12. The first functional layer 40 can be formed by deposition and etching processes.

[0044] For example, the step S12 includes a step S121 of forming a first oxide layer 21 on the semiconductor layer 10; Figure 4 The step S2 specifically includes forming a functional material layer 401 of the first functional layer 40 on the first oxide layer 21 Figure 5), and etching the functional material layer 401 to obtain the first functional layer 40 Figure 6

[0045] The step S12 further comprises a step S122 of forming a second oxide layer 22 on the first functional layer 40, so that the second oxide layer 22 covers the first functional layer 40 and the first oxide layer 21; the first oxide layer 21 and the second oxide layer 22 together constitute the gate oxide layer 20 Figure 7 ). The step execution sequence of the preparation method of the insulated gate field effect transistor is S11→S121→S2→S122→S13. The insulated gate field effect transistor 100 as shown in Figure 2 In the embodiment, the functional material layer 401 can be the same material as that of the gate oxide layer 20, or the same material as that of the gate layer 30, or a material with higher electric field strength than that of the gate oxide layer 20. The step sequence described above makes the selection of the functional material layer 401 less restricted, and the existing material can be used in the traditional process, so that the material is easy to obtain, and the preparation process is relatively simple.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the step S2 specifically comprises forming a functional material layer 401 of the first functional layer 40 on the semiconductor layer 10, and etching the functional material layer 401 to obtain the first functional layer 40; the step S12 specifically comprises forming a gate oxide layer 20 on the semiconductor layer 10 and the first functional layer 40, so that the gate oxide layer 20 covers the first functional layer 40 and part of the semiconductor layer 10.
