Among them, SiC thyristors, as high-voltage, high-power devices, have very high voltage blocking capability, excellent current handling capability, and high on-state di / dt capability, and are therefore widely used in power electronic equipment such as high-power inverters, high-voltage pulse switches, and uninterruptible power supplies.

For SiC material, considering the incomplete ionization of impurities and the significant difference in ionization rates between N and Al dopants, controlling the doping concentration of triple ion implantation in the device presents certain difficulties. High-temperature ion implantation of SiC will destroy the original crystal structure of the material, requiring annealing temperatures above 1600℃ for repair, which will affect the mobility of the surface inversion layer. Generally, the ion implantation junction depth does not exceed 1μm.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0018] Firstly, please see Figure 2 This invention provides a method for manufacturing a planar SiC MOS gate-controlled thyristor device based on an epitaxial surface, the method comprising: S10. Obtain an n-type SiC substrate 1, and sequentially grow a p-type epitaxial field cutoff layer 2 and a p-type epitaxial drift region 3 on the upper surface of the n-type SiC substrate 1.

[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, an n-type SiC substrate 1 is obtained, such as a 4H-SiC substrate material, with a doping concentration range of 5e. 18 cm -3 ~1e 19 cm -3 On the upper surface of n-type SiC substrate 1, CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) was used to grow sequentially from bottom to top a thickness of 0.5 μm to 6 μm with a doping concentration of 1e. 16 cm -3 ~5e 17 cm -3 p-type epitaxial field-stop layer 2, with a thickness of 40μm~150μm and a doping concentration of 1e 14 cm-3 ~1e 15 cm -3 The p-type epitaxial drift region 3 is shown in Figure 3(a).

[0020] S20. Ion implantation is performed in the middle region of the p-type epitaxial drift region 3 to form an n-type ion implantation trap region 4.

[0021] In this embodiment of the invention, a mask is used to form an ion implantation region in the middle region of the p-type epitaxial drift region 3 for N-ion implantation, forming a junction depth of 0.5 μm to 1 μm and a doping concentration range of 8e. 16 cm -3 ~5e 17 cm -3 The n-type ion implantation trap region 4 was then removed, as shown in Figure 3(b).

[0022] S30. A first n-type epitaxial region 5 is epitaxially grown on the p-type epitaxial drift region 3 and the n-type ion implantation trap region 4.

[0023] This invention utilizes CVD technology to epitaxially grow a first n-type epitaxial region 5 on a p-type epitaxial drift region 3 and an n-type ion implantation trap region 4, including: epitaxially growing a region with a thickness of 0.5 μm to 1 μm and a doping concentration range of 1e on the p-type epitaxial drift region 3 and the n-type ion implantation trap region 4. 15 cm -3 ~1e 16 cm -3 The first n-type extensional region 5 is shown in Figure 3(c).

[0024] S40. Ion implantation is performed on the first n-type epitaxial region 5 at both ends of the device to form a p-type ion implantation JFET region 7. Ion implantation is performed on the first n-type epitaxial region 5 in the middle region of the device to form a p-type ion implantation trap region. Ion implantation is performed on the first n-type epitaxial region 5 between the p-type ion implantation JFET region 7 and the p-type ion implantation trap region 6 to form a second n-type epitaxial region and an n-type ion implantation channel region 8 stacked from top to bottom. The n-type ion implantation channel region 8 is in contact with the n-type ion implantation trap region 4.

[0025] This embodiment of the invention utilizes a mask to perform ion implantation on the first n-type epitaxial regions 5 at both ends of the device to form p-type ion-implanted JFET regions 7, including: performing ion implantation on the first n-type epitaxial regions 5 at both ends of the device to form a junction depth of 0.5 μm to 1 μm and a doping concentration range of 1e. 16 cm -3 ~5e 17 cm -3The p-type ion implanted JFET region 7 is described above. In this embodiment of the invention, the junction depth of the p-type ion implanted JFET region 7 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the first n-type epitaxial region 5. For example, when the thickness of the first n-type epitaxial region 5 is 0.5 μm, the junction depth of the p-type ion implanted JFET region 7 can be 0.6 μm; when the thickness of the first n-type epitaxial region 5 is 1 μm, the junction depth of the p-type ion implanted JFET region 7 can be 1 μm, depending on the maximum junction depth that can be implanted by the ion implantation process.

[0026] This embodiment of the invention utilizes a mask to perform ion implantation on the first n-type epitaxial region 5 in the middle region of the device to form a p-type ion implantation trap region 6, including: performing ion implantation on the first n-type epitaxial region 5 in the middle region of the device to form a junction depth of 0.3 μm to 1 μm and a doping concentration range of 1e. 17 cm -3 ~5e 18 cm -3 The p-type ion implantation well region 6 is formed by implanting ions into the first n-type epitaxial region 5. In this embodiment, the junction depth of the p-type ion implantation well region 6 is less than or equal to the thickness of the first n-type epitaxial region 5. For example, when the thickness of the first n-type epitaxial region 5 is 1 μm, the junction depth of the p-type ion implantation well region 6 is 0.5 μm, or the junction depth of the p-type ion implantation well region 6 is 1 μm. Therefore, this invention forms the p-type ion implantation well region 6 by implanting ions into the first n-type epitaxial region 5. This p-type ion implantation well region 6 is separated from the n-type ion implantation well region 4 on the surface of the p-type epitaxial drift region 3, avoiding the design of triple ion implantation and reducing lattice damage caused by multiple ion implantations. Compared to the traditional method of forming the p-type ion implantation well region 6 by ion implantation within the n-type ion implantation well region 4, the p-type ion implantation well region 6 can be formed deeper, resulting in better device conductivity.

[0027] This invention utilizes a mask to perform ion implantation on a first n-type epitaxial region 5 between a p-type ion implantation JFET region 7 and a p-type ion implantation trap region 6 to form a second n-type epitaxial region and an n-type ion implantation channel region 8 stacked from top to bottom. This includes: performing ion implantation on the first n-type epitaxial region 5 between the p-type ion implantation JFET region 7 and the p-type ion implantation trap region 6 to form a stacked junction depth of 0 μm to 0.5 μm and a doping concentration of 1e from top to bottom. 15 cm -3 ~1e 16 cm -3 The second n-type epitaxial region has a junction depth of 0.5 μm to 1 μm and a doping concentration range of 4e. 16 cm -3 ~1e 17 cm -3The n-type ion implantation channel region 8 is designed to prevent lateral punch-through problems caused by excessively low doping concentration in the first n-type epitaxial region 5. For example, if the thickness of the first n-type epitaxial region 5 is 1 μm, and the junction depth of the n-type ion implantation channel region 8 is 1 μm, then the junction depth of the second n-type epitaxial region is 0 μm; if the junction depth of the n-type ion implantation channel region 8 is 0.5 μm, then the junction depth of the second n-type epitaxial region is 0.5 μm.

[0028] After the above ion implantation, the device structure is formed as shown in Figure 3(d).

[0029] It should be noted that, starting from Figure 3(d), in order to reflect the characteristics of the epitaxial layer, the second n-type epitaxial region in the stack is marked as 5. After ion implantation, the second n-type epitaxial region and the first n-type epitaxial region maintain the same doping concentration. The difference is that part of the first n-type epitaxial region forms an n-type ion implantation channel region, and the remaining part serves as the second n-type epitaxial region.

[0030] S50. Ion implantation is performed on the middle region of the p-type ion implantation trap region 6 to form a P+ source region 10, and ion implantation is performed on the two ends of the p-type ion implantation trap region 6 to form an N+ source region 9.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, a mask is used to implant ions into the middle region of the p-type ion implantation trap region 6 to form a P+ source region 10, and ions are implanted into the two ends of the p-type ion implantation trap region 6 to form an N+ source region 9. The junction depths of the N+ source region 9 and the P+ source region 10 are both smaller than the junction depth of the p-type ion implantation trap region 6, as shown in Figure 3(e).

[0032] S60. A gate dielectric layer 11 is grown on the p-type ion implanted JFET region 7, the second n-type epitaxial region, the p-type ion implanted trap region 6, the P+ source region 10, and the N+ source region 9.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, a gate dielectric layer 11 with a thickness of 45nm~55nm is grown on the device surface using a thermal oxidation process or a PECVD (Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) process. The gate dielectric layer 11 can be made of SiO2 and fully covers the surface of the p-type ion implantation JFET region 7, the second n-type epitaxial region, the p-type ion implantation trap region 6, the P+ source region 10, and the N+ source region 9, as shown in Figure 3(f).

[0034] S70. A gate electrode 12 is grown on the gate dielectric layer 11, excluding the anode region.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, an electron beam evaporation process is used to deposit a conductive polysilicon layer with a thickness of 400nm~800nm ​​on the gate dielectric layer 11. The layer is then patterned using photolithography and etching processes. The conductive polysilicon layer in the anode region is etched away, while the conductive polysilicon layer in the region other than the anode region is retained. Specifically, the conductive polysilicon layers on the p-type ion implantation JFET region 7, the second n-type epitaxial region, the p-type ion implantation trap region 6, and part of the N+ source region 9 are retained to form the gate electrode 12 as shown in Figure 3(g).

[0036] S80. An insulating oxide layer 13 is grown on the gate electrode 12 and the remaining gate dielectric layer 11.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, an insulating oxide layer 13 is grown on the gate electrode 12 and the remaining gate dielectric layer 11 using the PECVD process. The material of the insulating oxide layer 13 can be SiO2, as shown in Figure 3(h).

[0038] S90, etch the insulating oxide layer 13 in the anode region until the upper surface of the P+ source region 10 and N+ source region 9, and grow the anode 14 on the P+ source region 10 and N+ source region 9.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the insulating oxide layer 13 of the anode region is etched using ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) technology until the upper surfaces of the P+ source region 10 and the N+ source region 9 are exposed. Then, an electron beam evaporation process is used to evaporate the anode metal 14, such as an Al / Ti / Ni multilayer metal material, into the P+ source region 10 and the N+ source region 9, forming the anode 14 as shown in Figure 3(g), to form an ohmic contact with the N+ source region 9 and the P+ source region 10.

[0040] S100, A cathode 15 is grown on the lower surface of an n-type SiC substrate 1.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, the lower surface of the n-type SiC substrate 1 is thinned and polished, and a cathode 15 metal, such as Ni metal material, is grown on the lower surface of the n-type SiC substrate 1 using an electron beam evaporation process to form the cathode 15 as shown in Figure 3(i), so as to form an ohmic contact with the lower surface of the n-type SiC substrate 1.

[0042] As can be seen from the manufacturing process S10~S80 above, compared with the traditional manufacturing process, the advantages of the manufacturing method proposed in this invention are mainly reflected in: by introducing the first n-type epitaxial region 5, the separate design of the p-type ion implantation trap region 6 and the n-type ion implantation trap region 4 is realized. Separate design allows for easy control of doping concentration in specific regions. Traditional designs need to consider the difference in ionization rates between p-type and n-type dopants in SiC. In the separate design proposed in this invention, the n-type ion implantation well region 4 mainly serves as the short base region of the thyristor and achieves forward breakdown voltage; the threshold voltage design for the PMOS used for device turn-on is mainly achieved by controlling the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer; and the threshold voltage design for the NMOS used for device turn-off is mainly achieved by controlling the surface doping concentration of the p-type ion implantation well region 6.

[0043] Separate design can avoid multiple ion implantations in the same area, reducing lattice damage to the device caused by multiple ion implantations.

[0044] The separate design allows for deeper junctions without requiring higher ion implantation energies. In conventional designs, the p-type ion implantation well region 6 and the n-type ion implantation well region 4 overlap in a certain area, resulting in an effective junction depth for the n-type ion implantation well region 4 equal to the difference between the two. The separate design proposed in this invention allows for the separate design of the n-type ion implantation well region 4 to achieve a deeper base region width, and the separate design of the p-type ion implantation well region 6 to achieve a deeper anode region width.

[0045] In summary, the method for manufacturing a planar SiC MOS gate-controlled thyristor device based on an epitaxial surface proposed in this invention cleverly introduces an n-type epitaxial layer, effectively avoiding the problems associated with traditional triple ion implantation processes. Utilizing the advantages of epitaxial growth technology, such as fast growth rate, low material defects, and good process stability, a semiconductor layer with lower surface defect density can be obtained, effectively improving the channel carrier mobility and enhancing device performance. By introducing the n-type epitaxial region, the p-type and n-type ion implantation well regions are separated. The surface structure of the epitaxial layer allows for more precise control of the doping concentration and enables control over achieving a deeper junction depth in the p-type ion implantation well region and a deeper base width in the n-type ion implantation well region. This reduces the design difficulty of requiring an ion implantation junction depth exceeding 1 μm and avoids the problem of SiC high-temperature ion implantation damaging the original crystal structure of the material. In summary, the manufacturing method proposed in this invention is compatible with mature CMOS technology, has low device manufacturing difficulty, high production efficiency, and produces planar SiC MOS gate-controlled thyristors with better working performance, making them more suitable for use in power electronic equipment such as high-power inverters, high-voltage pulse switches, and uninterruptible power supplies.
