Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of MOS tubes, in particular to a power MOS tube component. Background Art

[0002] Power MOS transistor components offer advantages such as high integration, low on-resistance, fast switching speed, and low switching losses. They have completely replaced planar power trench MOS devices in low- and medium-voltage applications and are widely used in various power management and switching circuits. The current trend in power trench MOS devices is to achieve high-performance and high-reliability products using fewer photolithography steps and simpler process flows.

[0003] Especially as product applications develop towards thinness, lightness and smallness, to achieve the above goals, it is necessary to increase the switching frequency of the entire system. This leads to increasingly obvious switching losses in trench power MOS devices. How to improve the response speed of the switch and reduce the switching loss is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a power MOS tube component, which improves the response speed of high-frequency switches and reduces the loss of devices used in high-frequency states, thereby expanding the application range of MOS transistor components.

[0006] At least two unit cells are spaced apart in the N-type epitaxial layer. The unit cells further include a P-type well region and a trench. The P-type well region is located in an upper portion of the N-type epitaxial layer. A trench in the P-type well region extends from the P-type well region into the N-type epitaxial layer. A heavily doped N-type source region is located in an upper portion of the P-type well region and around the trench. A gate portion is located in the trench, and an insulating layer is provided between the gate portion and an inner wall of the trench.

[0007] The heavily doped N-type source region is covered with a medium-doped N-type contact portion at the periphery and below the end of the trench, wherein the upper end of the medium-doped N-type contact portion is flush with the upper end of the P-type well region and contacts a second metal layer, and the area below the medium-doped N-type contact portion is the P-type well region;

[0008] The P-type well region between adjacent unit cells has a P-type ion column, the upper end of which is in contact with the second insulating dielectric layer, and the lower end extends to the N-type epitaxial layer. A first insulating dielectric layer is located above the trench and covers the gate portion, and the second metal layer is located on the insulating dielectric layer and the heavily doped N-type source region.

[0009] The further improved scheme in the above technical scheme is as follows:

[0010] 1. In the above solution, the depth ratio of the P-type well region to the mid-doped N-type contact portion is 10:6-8.

[0011] 2. In the above solution, the depth of the P-type ion column is lower than the depth of the groove.

[0012] 3. In the above solution, the insulating layer is a silicon dioxide layer.

[0013] 4. In the above solution, the height ratio of the P-type well region to the trench is 1:3-4.

[0014] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

In the power MOS transistor assembly of the present invention, a heavily doped N-type source region is covered with a medium-doped N-type contact portion away from the periphery and below one end of the trench. The upper end of the medium-doped N-type contact portion is flush with the upper end of the P-type well region and contacts a second metal layer. The area below the medium-doped N-type contact portion is the P-type well region, which improves the response speed of high-frequency switching and reduces the loss of the device in high-frequency state, thereby expanding the application range of the MOS transistor assembly.

[0016] 2. In the power MOS tube assembly of the present invention, at least two unit cells are arranged at intervals in its N-type epitaxial layer. The unit cells further include a P-type well region and a trench. The P-type well region is located on the upper part of the N-type epitaxial layer. The P-type well region between adjacent unit cells has a P-type ion column. The upper end of the P-type ion column contacts the second insulating dielectric layer, and the lower end extends to the N-type epitaxial layer. When in reverse bias, the leakage current of the device assembly is reduced, thereby further improving the reliability of the device assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
