Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present application belong to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular, relate to a layout of a medium-voltage shielded gate power MOSFET. Background Art

[0002] In the layout design of a shielded gate power MOSFET, it is necessary to separately connect out the source polysilicon electrode, the gate electrode, and the source electrode, and isolate the source polysilicon electrode from the gate electrode. As Figure 1 shown, generally, in a chip, there will be a first implantation region 03 and a second implantation region (not shown) from bottom to top between two adjacent trenches 01. As Figure 3 shown, however, the junction depth of the PN junction between two such trenches 01 is the same, and this structure will cause the shielded gate power MOSFET to be unable to optimize the overcurrent capacity of the safe operating area. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve or alleviate the problems in the prior art, embodiments of the present application provide a layout of a medium-voltage shielded gate power MOSFET, including: an isolation ring region, a plurality of trench regions, a first implantation region, and a second implantation region;

[0004] The isolation ring regions are arranged at intervals outside the trench regions;

[0005] The plurality of trench regions are arranged at intervals, and the first implantation region and the second implantation region are arranged between two adjacent trench regions, and a mask region of the second implantation region is arranged above a part of the first implantation regions.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a preset number of trench regions are arranged at intervals between two adjacent mask regions.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the preset number is 3.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the layout of a medium-voltage shielded gate power MOSFET provided by the embodiments of the present application mainly adds a mask region of the second implantation region to a part of the first implantation regions on the basis of the prior art. Therefore, there are two different threshold voltages in the entire MOSFET, and the current mainly flows out from the trench with a lower threshold voltage. Without changing other processes, the present application can make the MOSFET in the safe operating area and optimize the overcurrent capacity of the safe operating area of the MOSFET.

[0015] As Figure 2 shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a layout of a medium-voltage shielded-gate power MOSFET, including: an isolation ring region 02, a plurality of trench regions 01, a first implantation region 03, and a second implantation region (not shown);

[0016] The isolation ring region 02 is disposed at intervals around the trench regions 01;

[0017] The plurality of trench regions 01 are disposed at intervals, and the first implantation region 03 and the second implantation region (not shown) are disposed between two adjacent trench regions 01. A mask region 04 of the second implantation region is disposed above a part of the first implantation regions 03.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a preset number of trench regions 01 are spaced between two adjacent mask regions 04.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the preset quantity is 3.

[0020] As Figure 4 shown, from the MOSFET simulation diagram prepared from the layout of a medium and high voltage shielded gate power MOSFET provided by the present application, it can be obtained that by adding the mask region 04 of the second implantation region to a part of the first implantation region 03, the junction depths of the PN junctions between two trenches 01 in the MOSFET obtained by the present application are different. Therefore, there are two different threshold voltages in the entire MOSFET, and the current mainly flows out from the trench with a lower threshold voltage. Without changing other processes, the present application can make the MOSFET in the safe operating area and optimize the overcurrent capacity of the safe operating area of the MOSFET.
