[0028] The semiconductor structure described in this application is, for example, a silicon carbide power semiconductor device.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the semiconductor substrate 101 may include a silicon carbide substrate and a silicon carbide epitaxial layer located on the surface of the silicon carbide substrate. The silicon carbide substrate is made of silicon carbide, and the silicon carbide epitaxial layer is also made of silicon carbide.

The thickness of the semiconductor substrate 101 is 10 to 500 micrometers. The doping concentration of the silicon carbide epitaxial layer is 1 x 10⁻⁶. 17 Up to 1x10 21 Atoms per cubic centimeter.

[0030] It should be noted that the semiconductor substrate 101 is used to form the active region. The focus of the technical solution in this application is on the gate electrode, therefore the structure located in the semiconductor substrate 101 is omitted.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the material of the first insulating layer 111 (as a field oxide layer) is, for example, any one or more of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and silicon nitride; the thickness of the first insulating layer 111 is, for example, 0.5 micrometers to 5 micrometers.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the gate electrode is made of polycrystalline silicon. The thickness of the gate electrode is, for example, 0.1 micrometers to 1 micrometer. The first gate electrode doped region 121, the second gate electrode doped region 122, the third gate electrode doped region 123, and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124 are formed by ion implantation of the gate electrode.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the first gate electrode doped region 121, the second gate electrode doped region 122, the third gate electrode doped region 123, and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124 have the same doping concentration.

[0034] In the technical solution of this application, the first gate electrode doped region 121 and the second gate electrode doped region 122 are connected to form a first gate PN junction 125; the third gate electrode doped region 123 and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124 are connected to form a second gate PN junction 126.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the first ends of the first gate electrode doped region 121 and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124 are connected, which can play a current sharing role and avoid signal inconsistency between the first gate electrode doped region 121 and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the semiconductor structure 100 further includes: a second insulating layer 112 (as an interlayer dielectric layer) covering the first insulating layer 111 and the gate electrode surface, wherein the gate metal wiring 132 and the gate metal pad 131 penetrate the second insulating layer 112.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the material of the second insulating layer 112 is, for example, any one or more of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and silicon nitride; the thickness of the second insulating layer 112 is, for example, 0.1 micrometers to 5 micrometers.

[0038] In the technical solution of this application, the second insulating layer 112 covers the upper surface of the first insulating layer 111 and the upper surface of the gate electrode. The second insulating layer 112 provides openings only in the first gate electrode doped region contact area 121a, the second gate electrode doped region contact area 122a, the third gate electrode doped region contact area 123a, and the fourth gate electrode doped region contact area 124a on the gate electrode. The first gate electrode doped region contact area 121a and the third gate electrode doped region contact area 123a are connected and are on a straight line.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the gate metal pad 131 covers a portion of the upper surface of the second insulating layer 112 and is electrically connected to the second gate electrode doped region contact area 122a and the fourth gate electrode doped region contact area 124a, respectively. An ohmic contact is formed between the second gate electrode doped region contact area 122a and the second gate electrode doped region 122a, and an ohmic contact is formed between the fourth gate electrode doped region contact area 124a and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124a.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the gate metal pad 131 is made of materials such as aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel, silver, palladium, gold, tungsten, or alloys or stacks thereof; the thickness of the gate metal pad 131 is, for example, 1 micrometer to 10 micrometers.

[0041] In the technical solution of this application, the gate metal pad 131 is connected to the gate signal source 141, such as a gate driver, and the connection method is, for example, wire bonding.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the gate metal wiring 132 covers a portion of the upper surface of the second insulating layer 112 and the first gate electrode doped region contact region 121a and the third gate electrode doped region contact region 123a, and forms an ohmic contact between the first gate electrode doped region contact region 121a and the first gate electrode doped region 121; and forms an ohmic contact between the third gate electrode doped region contact region 123a and the third gate electrode doped region 123.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the gate metal wiring 132 is made of materials such as aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel, silver, palladium, gold, tungsten, or alloys or stacks thereof; the thickness of the gate metal wiring 132 is, for example, 1 micrometer to 10 micrometers.

[0044] In the technical solution of this application, the gate metal wiring 132 is connected to the semiconductor device cell gate 142. The gate 142 can be any type of gate, such as a trench gate or a planar gate.

[0045] refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the first gate electrode doped region 121, the resistance between the first gate electrode doped region contact region 121a and the first gate PN junction 125 is the first gate electrode doped region resistance 121b; in the second gate electrode doped region 122, the resistance between the second gate electrode doped region contact region 122a and the first gate PN junction 125 is the second gate electrode doped region resistance 122b; in the third gate electrode doped region 123, the resistance between the third gate electrode doped region contact region 123a and the second gate PN junction 126 is the third gate electrode doped region resistance 123b; and in the fourth gate electrode doped region 124, the resistance between the fourth gate electrode doped region contact region 124a and the second gate PN junction 126 is the fourth gate electrode doped region resistance 124b.

[0046] Generally speaking, because silicon carbide transistor devices have a much faster switching speed than their silicon counterparts, meaning their gate voltage rise and fall rates are very high, silicon carbide MOS devices are prone to gate overvoltage spikes. Gate overvoltage can severely damage the lifespan of the gate dielectric layer or even destroy it. Typically, a resistor is placed at the device gate to slow down the rise and fall rate of the gate voltage. However, this inevitably increases the switching losses of the device, representing a trade-off between device reliability and performance.

[0047] Since the gate voltage rise and fall rates of transistor devices are not the same when they are turned on and off, in general, when only one gate resistor is set, the larger gate resistor is selected according to the one with the larger voltage rise and fall rate, with the premise of suppressing gate overvoltage. This will cause the one with the smaller voltage rise and fall rate to sacrifice too much switching speed, resulting in increased switching losses.

[0048] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In the technical solution provided in this application, a gate signal conditioning circuit is built into the gate electrode of a silicon carbide MOS device. The circuit includes two PN junctions connected in anti-parallel, namely, a first gate PN junction 125 and a second gate PN junction 126 connected in anti-parallel, and a first gate resistor 127 and a second gate resistor 128 connected in series with the first PN junction and the second PN junction, respectively. The gate signal conditioning circuit is connected to a gate signal source 141, such as a gate controller, and a device cell gate 142.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first gate resistor 127 is the sum of the first gate electrode doped region resistor 121b and the second gate electrode doped region resistor 122b; the second gate resistor 128 is the sum of the third gate electrode doped region resistor 123b and the fourth gate electrode doped region resistor 124b; the first gate resistor 127 and the second gate resistor 128 can be adjusted by changing the dimensions of the first to fourth gate electrode doped regions 121-124, including aspect ratio and thickness, as well as doping concentration.

[0050] When the device is turned on, the potential of the gate signal source 141 is higher than that of the device cell gate 142. Current flows from the gate signal source 141 to the device cell gate 142. At this time, the first gate PN junction 125 is forward biased and the second gate PN junction 126 is reverse biased. The gate current only passes through the first gate PN junction 125 and the first gate resistor 127. Therefore, the gate resistance when the device is turned on is the first gate resistor 127.

[0051] When the device is turned off, the potential of the gate signal source 141 is lower than that of the device cell gate 142. Current flows from the device cell gate 142 to the gate signal source 141. At this time, the first gate PN junction 125 is reverse biased and the second gate PN junction 126 is forward biased. The gate current only passes through the second gate PN junction 126 and the second gate resistor 128. Therefore, the gate resistance when the device is turned off is the second gate resistor 128.

[0052] The technical solution provided in this application provides different resistors for device turn-on and turn-off, so that the gate voltage rise and fall rate can be optimized independently in the two cases. This gives device and circuit designers more flexibility to adjust the gate resistance, so as to reduce device switching losses while ensuring device reliability.

[0053] The technical solution provided in this application integrates the gate signal conditioning circuit onto the power device chip, enabling circuit designers to achieve the effect of regulating the gate signal while reducing the number of components in the external gate signal circuit. Since gate overvoltage originates from the parasitic inductance of the gate signal loop, and the parasitic inductance is positively correlated with the coverage area of ​​the control gate signal loop, reducing the number of components in the external gate signal circuit is equivalent to reducing the loop area, i.e., the parasitic inductance. Therefore, this application design also provides the effect of fundamentally suppressing gate overvoltage, thereby further improving the device switching speed and further reducing device switching losses.

[0055] exist Figure 5 and Figure 6 In other embodiments shown, a second gate PN junction 126 is not provided, i.e., a third gate electrode doped region 123 is not provided.

[0056] When the device is turned on, the first gate PN junction 225 is forward biased, and the gate current passes through the first gate resistor 227 and the second gate resistor 228 connected in series. Therefore, the gate resistance when the device is turned on is the equivalent resistance of the first gate resistor 227 and the second gate resistor 228 connected in series.

[0057] When the device is turned off, the first gate PN junction 225 is reverse biased, and the gate current only passes through the second gate resistor 228. Therefore, the gate resistance when the device is turned off is the second gate resistor 228.

[0058] In this embodiment, since the second gate resistance 228 is always higher than the equivalent resistance of the first gate resistance 227 and the second gate resistance 228 connected in series, this embodiment is suitable for applications requiring a higher gate resistance when off than when on. This design reduces one structural point, lowers device complexity, and helps improve device yield.

[0060] exist Figure 7 and Figure 8 In other embodiments shown, the first gate PN junction 125 is not provided, that is, the second gate electrode doped region 122 is not provided.

[0061] When the device is turned on, the second gate PN junction 326 is reverse biased, and the gate current only passes through the first gate resistor 327. Therefore, the gate resistance when the device is turned on is the first gate resistor 327.

[0062] When the device is turned off, the second gate PN junction 326 is forward biased, and the gate current flows through the first gate resistor 327 and the second gate resistor 328 connected in series. Therefore, the gate resistance when the device is turned off is the equivalent resistance of the first gate resistor 327 and the second gate resistor 328 connected in series.

[0063] In this embodiment, since the first gate resistance 327 is always higher than the equivalent resistance of the first gate resistance 327 and the second gate resistance 328 connected in series, this embodiment is suitable for applications requiring a higher gate resistance during turn-on than during turn-off. This design also reduces a structural point, lowers device complexity, and helps improve device yield.

At one end, the first gate electrode doped region 121 and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124 have the same doping type, the second gate electrode doped region 122 and the third gate electrode doped region 123 have the same doping type, and the doping type of the second gate electrode doped region 122 and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124 is opposite to the doping type of the first gate electrode doped region 121 and the third gate electrode doped region 123; a gate metal wiring 132 is formed to electrically connect the first gate electrode doped region 121 and the third gate electrode doped region 123; and a gate metal pad 131 is formed to electrically connect the second gate electrode doped region 122 and the fourth gate electrode doped region 124.
