AI Technical Summary
In trench MOSFETs, the active region gate is doped while the terminal region gate is undoped, resulting in a resistivity difference. This leads to high gate resistance, making the device prone to local hot spot burnout and voltage breakdown, and it also has poor electrostatic discharge resistance.
A heavily doped layer is formed on the surface of the gate in the active region and the terminal region to make their resistivity the same. The heavily doped layer is formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer and the gate surface through ion implantation process to ensure that the resistivity of the gate in the active region and the terminal region is consistent.
This achieves uniform gate resistivity across all regions of the trench MOS device, avoiding uneven voltage distribution, enhancing the protection of the gate oxide layer, reducing the risk of electrostatic breakdown, and minimizing the possibility of local hot spot burnout.

[0002] A trench MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is etched in an epitaxial layer on a silicon wafer, a gate oxide layer is then grown on the surface, polysilicon is deposited in the trench to form a gate, and ions are implanted on the silicon wafer to form a source, and the backside of the silicon wafer is the drain. The surface of the silicon wafer is divided into an active region and a termination region, and the gate polysilicon is led out from the active region and is connected to each other in the termination region.
[0003] The source polysilicon in the active region is directly connected to the terminal polysilicon in the termination region. The active region is heavily doped by ion implantation to form a heavily doped layer, and the heavily doped layer in the active region forms a conductive channel of the trench device. The gate polysilicon in the active region is doped at the same time, so the resistivity of the gate polysilicon in the active region is lowered. The terminal polysilicon in the termination region is not doped, so the resistivity of the terminal polysilicon in the termination region is high, and the two sections of gate polysilicon have a resistivity difference, which in turn leads to a high gate resistance of the device. The uneven gate resistance leads to uneven voltage distribution, and the voltage and current at the junction of the high resistance and the low resistance change abruptly, which easily leads to voltage breakdown when the voltage is too high or fluctuates, and the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) resistance is poor.

The heavily doped layer 15 includes an active heavily doped layer 15a located at the surface of the epitaxial layer 11 of the active region and at the surface of the active region gate 13a, and a termination heavily doped layer 15b located at the surface of the termination region gate 13b. The termination heavily doped layer 15b completely covers the termination region gate 13b, i.e. the area of the termination heavily doped layer 15b is greater than or equal to the area of the termination region gate 13b, to ensure that the resistivity of the active region gate 13a and the termination region gate 13b are the same. Specifically, the termination region gate 13b includes a first portion of the termination region gate 13b-1 and a second portion of the termination region gate 13b-2 connected to each other, the first portion of the termination region gate 13b-1 is rectangular in shape, and the second portion of the termination region gate 13b-2 is also rectangular in shape, but the length and width of the first portion of the termination region gate 13b-1 and the second portion of the termination region gate 13b-2 are different. The length L1 of the first portion of the termination region gate 13b-1 is greater than the length L2 of the second portion of the termination region gate 13b-2, but the width W1 of the first portion of the termination region gate 13b-1 is less than the width W2 of the second portion of the termination region gate 13b-2. The first portion of the termination region gate 13b-1 is used to electrically connect the active region gate 13a, and the second portion of the termination region gate 13b-2 is used to lead the active region gate 13a out to a conductive layer. That is, a subsequent process forms a metal plug on the second portion of the termination region gate 13b-2, the metal plug is used to electrically connect the second portion of the termination region gate 13b-2 and an upper conductive layer, and the upper conductive layer is electrically connected to the conductive region 10c.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the termination heavily doped layer 15b includes a first portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-1 and a second portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-2. The first portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-1 is rectangular in shape, and the second portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-2 is also rectangular in shape, but the length and width of the first portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-1 and the second portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-2 are different. The length L3 of the first portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-1 is greater than the length L4 of the second portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-2, but the width W3 of the first portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-1 is less than the width W4 of the second portion of the termination heavily doped layer 15b-2.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the terminal heavily doped layer 15b completely covers the terminal region gate 13b. Specifically, the length L3 of the first part 15b-1 of the terminal heavily doped layer is greater than or equal to the length L1 of the first part 13b-1 of the terminal region gate, the width W3 of the first part 15b-1 of the terminal heavily doped layer is greater than or equal to the width W1 of the first part 13b-1 of the terminal region gate, the length L4 of the second part 15b-2 of the terminal heavily doped layer is greater than or equal to the length L2 of the second part 13b-2 of the terminal region gate, the width W4 of the second part 15b-2 of the terminal heavily doped layer is greater than or equal to the width W2 of the second part 13b-2 of the terminal region gate, and the first part 15b-1 of the terminal heavily doped layer is longer or wider than the first part 13b-1 of the terminal region gate and the second part 15b-2 of the terminal heavily doped layer is longer or wider than the second part 13b-2 of the terminal region gate satisfy a preset threshold value. If the area of the terminal heavily doped layer 15b is too large, it will cause the problem of leakage of the active region. Therefore, the preset threshold value is the process error range. That is, under the condition of ensuring that the terminal heavily doped layer 15b completely covers the terminal region gate 13b, the area of the terminal heavily doped layer 15b is as small as possible to avoid causing leakage of the active region.
[0050] The trench gate 13 also has an implant layer 14b formed therein, the implant layer 14b is located below the heavily doped layer 15 and the doping type of the heavily doped layer 15 and the implant layer 14b is opposite. The implant layer 14b and the well region 14a of the active region are formed at the same time, the well region 14a is formed in the epitaxial layer 11 of the active region, and the implant layer 14b is formed in the active region gate 13a. The doping type of the well region 14a and the implant layer 14b is, for example, the first doping type, and the doping type of the heavily doped layer 15 is the second doping type. In this embodiment, the first doping type is, for example, P type, and the second doping type is, for example, N type. The doping type of the heavily doped layer 15 is opposite to that of the well region 14a, so when the gate bias is greater than the threshold voltage, a reverse type layer will be formed around the gate oxide layer, and at this time the reverse type layer around the gate oxide layer and the heavily doped layer 15 constitute the conductive channel of the trench MOS device.

Figure 2 is the trench type MOS structure along BB' section after forming the trench type gate of the embodiment of the present application. Figures 5 to 8 The specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0055] As shown in Figure 5 , a substrate 10 is provided, which can be a single crystal silicon or polycrystalline silicon substrate, or can be made of semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium, silicon germanium, gallium arsenide, etc., or can be a composite structure such as a silicon-on-insulator substrate. Those skilled in the art can select the type of semiconductor substrate according to the requirements of the semiconductor device, and the type of semiconductor substrate should not limit the protection scope of the present application.
[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the substrate 10 includes an active region 10a and a terminal region 10b, the active region 10a is used to form a semiconductor device, for example, a MOS device, and the terminal region 10b is used to lead out the semiconductor device on the active region 10a to a conductive layer, for example, the terminal region 10b leads the active region gate 13a to the upper conductive region 10c. An epitaxial layer 11 is formed on the substrate 10, and a trench type gate 13 is formed in the epitaxial layer 11, which includes an active region gate 13a and a terminal region gate 13b.
[0057] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the method for forming a trench gate 13 within the epitaxial layer 11 includes: performing an etching process to form a trench 12a within the epitaxial layer 11, the trench 12a extending from the top surface of the epitaxial layer 11 into the epitaxial layer 11. The trench 12a includes an active region trench and a termination region trench, the active region trench being well-shaped and the termination region trench being a line. A gate oxide layer 12 is formed, the gate oxide layer 12 covering the bottom wall and sidewalls of the trench 12a; a polysilicon layer is formed, the polysilicon layer filling the trench 12a and covering the epitaxial layer 11; the polysilicon layer outside the trench 12a is removed and the top surface of the polysilicon layer within the trench 12a is flush with the top surface of the epitaxial layer 11, the polysilicon layer within the trench 12a constituting the trench gate 13. In this embodiment, the etching process for forming the trench 12a can be a dry etching process or a wet etching process. The process for forming the gate oxide layer 12 can be either thermal oxidation or chemical vapor deposition. The process for forming the polysilicon layer can be chemical vapor deposition. The process for removing the polysilicon layer outside the trench 12a and making the top surface of the polysilicon layer inside the trench 12a flush with the top surface of the epitaxial layer 11 can be chemical mechanical polishing.
[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, after forming the trench gate 13, an ion implantation process is performed to form a well region 14a within the epitaxial layer 11 and simultaneously implant a layer 14b within the trench gate 13. The well region 14a and the implanted layer 14b are doped with a first doping type. The first doping type is, for example, P-type.
[0059] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, an ion implantation process is performed to form a heavily doped layer 15 on the surface of the epitaxial layer 11 of the active region, the surface of the active region gate 13a, and the surface of the terminal region gate 13b, so that the resistivity of the active region gate 13a and the resistivity of the terminal region gate 13b are the same. The heavily doped layer 15 is of a second doping type, for example, N-type. The heavily doped layer 15 includes an active heavily doped layer 15a and a terminal heavily doped layer 15b. The active heavily doped layer 15a constitutes a conductive channel of the trench MOS device. The terminal heavily doped layer 15b completely covers the terminal region gate 13b to ensure that the resistivity of the active region gate 13a and the resistivity of the terminal region gate 13b are the same. The terminal heavily doped layer 15b is added in the terminal region gate 13b, and the resistivity of the terminal region gate 13b is reduced to be the same as the resistivity of the active region gate 13a, ensuring that the resistivity of the gate of all regions of the trench MOS device is consistent, effectively solving the problem of uneven distribution of the gate resistance at the junction of the active region and the terminal region, and effectively avoiding uneven voltage distribution caused by the difference in gate resistance between the active region and the terminal region, strengthening the protection of the gate oxide layer, and reducing the impact of electrostatic breakdown on the device. At the same time, the resistivity of the terminal region gate 13b is reduced, thereby reducing the resistivity of the entire gate of the trench MOS device, further reducing the gate resistance of the trench MOS device, and thereby reducing the risk of local hot spot burning caused by the high resistance of the gate of the trench MOS.
[0060] The embodiment also provides a mask plate pattern structure for forming the trench MOS structure of any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the mask plate pattern structure comprises:
[0061] an active region pattern and a terminal region pattern;
[0062] an epitaxial layer pattern on the active region pattern and the terminal region pattern;
[0063] a trench gate pattern in the epitaxial layer pattern, and the trench gate pattern comprises an active region gate pattern and a terminal region gate pattern;
[0064] a heavily doped layer pattern on the epitaxial layer pattern of the active region pattern, the active region gate pattern, and the terminal region gate pattern.
[0065] Specifically, the terminal region pattern is located at the edge of the mask plate pattern structure, and the shape of the terminal region pattern is comb-shaped.
[0066] In the ion implantation process of forming the heavily doped layer, the active region in the mask plate pattern structure corresponding to the active region of the device is fully opened, and only the region corresponding to the terminal region gate in the mask plate pattern structure in the terminal region of the device is opened, so as to perform the ion implantation process on the entire active region and the terminal region gate region of the trench type MOS device to form the heavily doped layer, and then obtain the trench type MOS device with the same resistivity of the active region gate and the terminal region gate.
[0067] As can be seen from the above, in the trench type MOS structure provided by the embodiment of the present application, the heavily doped layer with the same resistivity as the surface layer of the active region gate is arranged on the surface layer of the terminal region gate, so that the resistivity of the active region gate and the resistivity of the terminal region gate are the same. The unexpected technical effect of the present application is that the surface layer of the terminal region gate is increased with the heavily doped layer, the resistivity of the terminal region gate is reduced to the same as the resistivity of the active region gate, which ensures that the resistivity of the gate in all regions of the trench type MOS device is consistent, effectively solves the problem of uneven distribution of the gate resistance value at the connection between the active region and the terminal region, effectively avoids uneven voltage distribution caused by the difference in gate resistance value between the active region and the terminal region, strengthens the protection of the gate oxide layer, and reduces the impact of electrostatic breakdown on the trench type MOS device. At the same time, the resistivity of the terminal region gate is reduced, thereby reducing the resistivity of the entire gate of the trench type MOS device, further reducing the gate resistance of the trench type MOS device, and thereby reducing the risk of local hot spot burning caused by high gate resistance leading to high power density.
[0068] In addition, it should be recognized that although the present application has been disclosed with the preferred embodiments as above, the above embodiments are not intended to limit the present application. For any person skilled in the art, many possible changes and modifications or equivalent embodiments of the above disclosed technical content can be made to the technical solution of the present application without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiments made according to the technical essence of the present application without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present application, all still belong to the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present application.
