[0032] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clearly understood, the exemplary embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, and are not an exhaustive list of all the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other unless they conflict.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 2-1 , such as 2-2, Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 As shown, the switching device according to the embodiment of the present application includes a junction field effect transistor and a gate capacitor 14 .

[0035] like Figure 2-1 , such as 2-2, Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 As shown, the junction field effect transistor includes:

[0036] A substrate 1 of a first doping type and an epitaxial layer 2 of a first doping type, wherein the epitaxial layer 2 is located above the substrate 1;

[0037] Two bottom gates 3 of the second doping type are formed in the epitaxial layer and spaced apart in the lateral direction;

[0038] A second doping type combined top gate, the top gate comprising a top gate inner region 81 and a top gate outer region 82, the top gate inner region 81 being formed from top to bottom within the epitaxial layer, the top gate outer region 82 surrounding the bottom and side surfaces of the top gate inner region 81, and a gap being provided between the top gate outer region 82 and the bottom gate 3; wherein the doping concentration of the top gate outer region 82 is lower than the doping concentration of the top gate inner region 81, and the top gate is in a floating state;

[0039] The gate electrode 11 is located above the top gate inner region 81 and the contact between the gate electrode 11 and the top gate inner region 81 is an ohmic contact. Accordingly, the potential of the top gate inner region 81 is equal to the potential of the gate electrode 11 .

[0040] The gate electrode 11 is used to connect to a gate capacitor 14. For the junction field effect transistor of the embodiment of the present application, the gate capacitor 14 is an external gate capacitor. For the switch device of the embodiment of the present application, the gate capacitor 14 is part of the switch device.

[0041] In the junction field effect transistor of the embodiment of the present application, the top gate outer region 82 surrounds the bottom and side surfaces of the top gate inner region 81, and the doping concentration of the top gate outer region 82 is lower than the doping concentration of the top gate inner region 81, so that the potential difference of the top gate from the outer surface of the top gate outer region 82 to the top surface of the top gate inner region 81 is relatively slow.

[0042] In the field of semiconductors, under uniform doping conditions, the potential expression of x in a P-type doped region is The following relationship (1) is satisfied:

[0043]

[0044] Where, e is the electron charge, N a is the doping concentration of the P-type doped region, εs is the semiconductor dielectric constant, and x p is the position where the electric field E is zero.

[0045] From this we can see that in two P-type doping regions with different doping concentrations, if the electric field E of the two P-type doping regions is zero at the same position, which P-type doping region has the highest N? a The smaller the value, the electric potential at the same position (i.e. the same x) In this way, the flow channel for carriers increases, widening the process window of the junction field effect transistor.

[0046] Taking the junction field effect transistor of the embodiment of the present application as an NMOS transistor as an example, when the upper electrode of the gate capacitor 14 is connected to a positive voltage (such as 15V), and the source of the junction field effect transistor is grounded, and the drain is connected to a positive drain voltage, an electric field is generated between the drain and the source, thereby generating a conduction current, and the direction of the current is as follows: Figure 2-4 shown.

[0047] When the bias voltage of the top electrode of the gate capacitor 14 is less than or equal to 0V, the potential of the top gate inner region 81 is less than or equal to 0V, and the top gate outer region 82 and the channel (at Figure 2-2 、 Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 Middle finger channel 15, in Figure 2-1 The PN junction formed by the middle finger epitaxial layer (located between the top gate outer region 82 and the bottom gate 3) is reverse biased, the channel is pinched off, and the junction field effect transistor of the present application is turned off.

[0048] In addition, simulations show that the on-resistance Ron,sp of the junction field-effect transistor of the embodiment of the present application under high temperature conditions is within three times that of normal temperature, and is compatible with the application of existing SiC MOSFETs. That is, the application scenarios of the junction field-effect transistor of the embodiment of the present application are highly compatible with the existing technology and have strong versatility.

[0049] At the same time, the contact between the gate electrode 11 and the top gate inner region 81 is an ohmic contact. When the top gate outer region 82 is reverse biased at high temperature, the top gate outer region 82 is in contact with the channel (at Figure 2-2 、 Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 Middle finger groove 15, in Figure 2-1 The holes generated by the PN junction formed by the middle-finger epitaxial layer (located between the top-gate outer region 82 and the bottom gate 3) flow into the top gate and out of the ohmic-contact gate electrode 11. This does not cause the floating top gate to be unable to conduct holes and thus raise the top gate potential. Therefore, the device can be turned off normally regardless of high or low temperatures, with a gate-source voltage of Vgs = 0.

[0050] In practice, the gate capacitor 14 is connected in series between the gate electrode 11 of the junction field effect transistor and an external control voltage circuit, wherein the external control voltage circuit is used to provide a control voltage for the switching device.

[0051] The principle of voltage division of capacitors in series is as follows:

[0052] Capacitor voltage Vc=I·Xc,

[0053] Capacitive reactance Xc=1 / 2πfC,

[0054] Where I is the current in the series capacitor loop, f is the frequency of the AC current, and C is the capacitance.

[0055] In this application, the structure between the top gate outer region 82 and the bottom gate 3 forms a junction capacitance C formed by the semiconductor depletion region formed by these two parts. 半 The gate capacitor 14, connected in series with the external capacitor, achieves a series connection of two capacitors. Based on the principle of capacitive voltage division, the potential on the upper surface of the top gate outer region 82 can be adjusted by the size of the gate capacitor to achieve compatibility between the gate drive voltage (corresponding to the voltage of the top gate outer region 82) and the 15V or 18V drive voltage of semiconductor devices such as IGBTs and / or MOSFETs, facilitating circuit design.

[0056] In the vertical capacitively coupled gate-controlled junction field effect transistor of the present invention, the voltage applied by the external gate circuit to the top gate of the JFET region 1 passes through the structure between the top gate external region 82 and the bottom gate 3, and the junction capacitance C formed by the semiconductor depletion region formed by these two parts is formed. 半 The gate capacitor 14 is coupled to the gate electrode 11 in a manner of being coupled in series with the external gate capacitor 14 to control the on and off of the transistor.

[0057] In conjunction with the gate capacitor 14, the size of the gate capacitor 14 is used to adjust the potential at the gate electrode 11 so as to achieve compatibility between the gate drive voltage (corresponding to the voltage of the top gate outer region 82) and the semiconductor device drive voltage of 15V or 18V such as IGBT and / or MOFET, providing convenience for circuit design.

[0058] In implementation, such as Figure 2-1 , such as 2-2, Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 As shown, the top gate outer region 82 is U-shaped, the inner bottom of the top gate outer region 82 is wrapped around the bottom surface of the top gate inner region 81 , and the inner wall of the top gate outer region 82 is wrapped around the side surface of the top gate inner region 81 .

[0059] In this way, the top gate outer region 82 wraps the bottom and side surfaces of the top gate inner region 81, so that both the bottom and side surfaces of the top gate inner region 81 have the top gate outer region 82 with a slower potential change, making the overall process window of the top gate larger.

[0060] Specifically, the top gate inner region 81 is heavily doped.

[0061] The heavily doped top gate inner region 81 prevents the top gate from punching through.

[0062] In practice, the doping concentration of the top gate outer region 82 is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower than the doping concentration of the top gate inner region 81 .

[0063] In practice, the doping concentration of the top gate outer region 82 is in the range of greater than or equal to 2×10 17 cm -3 Less than or equal to 5×10 18 cm -3The doping concentration of the top gate inner region 81 is greater than or equal to 1×10 19 cm -3 Less than or equal to 4×10 20 cm -3 .

[0064] In practice, the thickness of the bottom of the top gate outer region 82 ranges from 0.02 μm to 0.2 μm, and the thickness of the sidewall of the top gate outer region 82 ranges from 0.02 μm to 0.2 μm.

[0065] The thickness of the top gate inner region 81 ranges from 0.02 μm to equal to 0.1 μm.

[0066] The doping concentration and thickness of the top gate inner region 81 meet the above value range requirements to prevent the depletion region on the surface of the top gate inner region 81 from being connected during blocking, resulting in a low withstand voltage. In other words, the depletion region on the surface of the top gate inner region 81 is disconnected, thus meeting the blocking withstand voltage requirement.

[0067] The doping concentration, bottom thickness and sidewall thickness of the top gate outer region 82 meet the above value range requirements in order to widen the process window of the top gate and prevent the process from failing to achieve device performance.

[0068] The first implementation method, such as Figure 2-1 As shown, the JFET region 1 is specifically formed by the top gate, the portion of the epitaxial layer located between the top gate and the bottom gate 3, and the bottom gate 3;

[0069] The two bottom gates 3 and the portion of the epitaxial layer located between the bottom gates 3 form a second JFET region.

[0070] The second implementation method is Figure 2-2 As shown, the junction field effect transistor also includes:

[0071] A first doping type channel 5 is formed between the top gate and the bottom gate 3, and the top gate is located above the first channel;

[0072] The JFET region 1 is specifically formed by a top gate, a channel 1 5, and a bottom gate 3;

[0073] The second JFET region is specifically formed by two bottom gates 3 and a portion of the epitaxial layer located between the bottom gates 3 .

[0074] The third implementation method, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the junction field effect transistor also includes:

[0075] A first doping type channel 5 is formed between the top gate and the bottom gate 3, and the top gate is located above the first channel;

[0076] A second channel 61 of the first doping type is formed between the two bottom gates;

[0077] The JFET region 1 is specifically formed by a top gate, a channel 1 5 , and a bottom gate 3 , and the JFET region 2 is specifically formed by two bottom gates 3 and a channel 2 61 .

[0078] The third implementation method, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the junction field effect transistor also includes:

[0079] A first doping type channel 5 is formed between the top gate and the bottom gate 3, and the top gate is located above the first channel;

[0080] A second channel 61 of the first doping type is formed between the two bottom gates;

[0081] A current spreading layer 62 of the first doping type is formed in the epitaxial layer 2 below the bottom gate 3 and the second channel 61;

[0082] The JFET region 1 is specifically formed by a top gate, a channel 1 5 , and a bottom gate 3 , and the JFET region 2 is specifically formed by two bottom gates 3 , a channel 2 61 , and a current spreading layer 62 .

[0083] In implementation, such as Figure 2-1 , such as 2-2, Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 As shown, the junction field effect transistor also includes:

[0084] a drain electrode 13, arranged on the lower surface of the substrate;

[0085] Two first doping type source regions 7 are respectively located on the two bottom gates, and the two first doping type source regions 7 are connected to a portion located between the top gate and the bottom gate 3;

[0086] Two source electrodes 12 , the source electrodes 12 on the same side are connected to the first doping type source region 7 ;

[0087] Two second doping type source regions 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the two bottom gates 3, and the second doping type source region 4 on the same side is connected to the bottom gate 3; the source electrode is located on the junction of the first doping type source region 7 and the second doping type source region 4 on the same side, and the source electrode is connected to the first doping type source region 7 and the second doping type source region 4 on the same side;

[0088] A gate electrode 11 is formed on the top gate 81;

[0089] The buffer layer 100 is formed between the substrate 1 and the epitaxial layer 2 .

[0090] Specifically, by controlling the doping of the bottom gate 3 of the second doping type and the top gate of the second doping type, when the voltage on the coupling capacitor 14 is zero, the region sandwiched by the bottom gate 3 and the top gate is in a depletion state, and the junction field effect transistor is a normally-off device;

[0091] Alternatively, by controlling the doping of the second doping type bottom gate 3 and the second doping type top gate, when the voltage on the coupling capacitor 14 is zero, the region sandwiched by the bottom gate 3 and the top gate is in a conducting state, and the junction field effect transistor is a normally-on device.

[0092] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the blocking voltage of the junction field effect transistor of the embodiment of the present application at room temperature and high temperature. Figure 3 In the graph, the horizontal axis is the drain voltage in volts, and the vertical axis is the drain current in amperes.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, when Vgs = 0V, the junction field effect transistor is at room temperature (corresponding to T = 300K):

[0094] When the drain voltage is less than 1800V, the drain current is always zero. When the drain voltage increases to 1800V, the drain current is larger, that is, the withstand voltage of the junction field effect transistor is 1800V.

[0095] That is when avalanche breakdown occurs.

[0096] like Figure 3 As shown, when Vgs = 0V, the junction field effect transistor is under high temperature conditions (corresponding to T = 450K):

[0097] When the drain voltage is less than 1990V, when the drain voltage increases to 1990V, the drain current is large, that is, the withstand voltage of the junction field effect transistor is 1990V;

[0098] The junction field effect transistor can be turned off normally at room temperature (corresponding to T=300K) and at high temperature (corresponding to T=450K).

[0099] The substrate 1, the epitaxial layer 2, the portion between the bottom gate 3, and the portion between the top gate and the bottom gate 3 form an internal conduction path from the drain to the two source electrodes. The internal conduction paths are all away from the area with low mobility on the device surface. The internal conduction path of the junction field effect transistor of the embodiment of the present application is located as a whole inside the field effect transistor, and the internal conduction paths are all away from the area with low mobility on the device surface. That is, the internal conduction paths are all away from the surface of the semiconductor material, and are internally conductive, avoiding the problem of low surface mobility. Therefore, the carriers are kept in a state of high mobility and drift velocity, the junction field effect transistor saturation current Idsat is large, the junction field effect transistor characteristic on-resistance Ron,sp is small, and the junction field effect transistor has better short-circuit resistance.
