Abstract

Background Art
[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) devices have advantages such as fast switching speed and low on-resistance, and can achieve a high breakdown voltage level with a small drift layer thickness, reducing the volume of power switch modules and reducing power consumption, and have high superiority in application fields such as power switches and converters.
[0003] Since aluminum (Al) has low diffusivity in SiC by ion implantation, in the conventional planar gate SiC MOSFET process, a P-well with a certain depth is often obtained by means of several Al ion implantations. However, the diffusion effect of Al in SiC is low, and a deeper junction depth cannot be obtained by the diffusion process, so the breakdown voltage of the SiC has not been able to reach the ideal value conventionally. In addition, an electric field spike always exists under the gate oxide layer, and the reliability of SiC MOSFET devices is always threatened.
[0004] The above problems also exist in other planar MOSFET processes that form a P-well by several Al ion implantations.

[0021] In the following, the technical solutions proposed in the present invention will be described in more detail in association with the drawings and specific embodiments.

It should be noted that all the drawings are in a very simplified scale with little requirement for accuracy and are merely for the purpose of facilitating and clearly explaining the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention includes preparing a substrate, forming a patterned mask layer on the substrate, using the patterned mask layer as a mask, and implanting first ions of a first conductivity type into the surface layer of the substrate to form a well region, step S1; forming sidewalls on the sidewalls of the patterned mask layer, using the patterned mask layer and the sidewalls as a mask, and implanting ions of a second conductivity type into the surface layer of the well region to form a source region, step S2; using the patterned mask layer and the sidewalls as a mask, and implanting second ions of a first conductivity type that are more diffusible in the substrate than the first ions into the substrate below the well region to form a semi-superjunction that contacts the bottom of the well region and is self-aligned with the source region, step S3; A method for manufacturing a MOSFET device is provided, including step S4 of forming a gate oxide layer and a gate sequentially stacked on the substrate, and using a region overlapping the gate in the well region as a channel of the MOSFET device.
[0023] Hereinafter, with an example where the first conductivity type is P-type and the second conductivity type is N, the technical solution of this embodiment will be described in detail in association with FIG. 2. Naturally, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first conductivity type may be N-type and the second conductivity type may be P-type.
[0024] Specifically, referring to (A) in FIG. 2, in step S1, an arbitrary suitable semiconductor material such as silicon carbide or silicon may be prepared to form the substrate 100. For example, the prepared substrate 100 is an N-type substrate, and an N+ substrate 100a, an N buffer layer 100b, and an N-drift layer 100c are sequentially stacked from bottom to top. Among the N+ substrate 100a, the N buffer layer 100b, and the N-drift layer 100c, at least the layer of the N-drift layer 100c is a silicon carbide layer. Also, the doping concentration of N-type ions in the N-drift layer 100c is lower than the doping concentration of N-type ions in the N+ substrate 100a.
[0025] Referring to (A) in FIG. 2, in step S1, first, the surface of the substrate 100 may be cleaned and dried, and then a mask layer material is deposited on the N-drift layer 100c. For example, one or more selected from polycrystalline silicon (poly Si), single-crystalline silicon (Si), silica (SiO2), silicon nitride (SiN), etc. may be deposited, a single-layer film may be deposited, or films of various materials may be stacked. Lithography and etching are performed on the mask layer material to form a patterned mask layer 200 for defining the P well to be formed. In this example, injection windows (not shown) of the P well to be formed are defined on both sides of the patterned mask layer 200. Therefore, parameters such as the shape and line width of the patterned mask layer 200 need to be designed according to the well region 101 to be formed, and the present invention does not specifically limit it.
[0026] Continuing to refer to (A) in FIG. 2, in step S1, next, using the patterned mask layer 200 as a mask, P-type first ions are implanted into the surface layer of the N-drift layer 100c to form well regions 101 in the surface layers of the N-drift layer 100c on both sides of the patterned mask layer 200. The first ions selected in this step are ions that can form holes in the N-drift layer 100c and are less diffusible than the subsequent second ions and source ions at high temperatures.
[0027] As an example, the first ions include elemental ions such as aluminum (Al) ions that cannot diffuse in SiC. The implantation direction may be perpendicular to the surface of the N-drift layer 100c or may form a certain inclination angle with respect to the surface of the N-drift layer 100c. The implantation temperature is 400°C to 1000°C (for example, 500°C, 800°C, etc.), the implantation energy is 50 keV to 800 keV (for example, 100 keV, 200 keV, 400 keV, 500 keV, 600 keV, 700 keV, etc.), and the implantation dose is 1E12 / cm 2 ~9E13 / cm 2 (for example, 5E12 / cm 2 , 1E13 / cm 2 , etc.).
[0028] Referring to (B) in FIG. 2, in step S2, first, a sidewall material (not shown) that is the same as or different from the material of the patterned mask layer 200 is coated on the surfaces of the N-drift layer 100c and the patterned mask layer 200 by a process such as deposition or coating. Then, an extra sidewall material is removed by a sidewall self-alignment process (such as a wet etching or anisotropic dry etching process) that does not require a photomask, to form a sidewall 201 coated on the sidewalls of the patterned mask layer 200. As an example, when the patterned mask layer 200 is silicon nitride, the sidewall 201 may be silicon nitride, silicon oxide, polycrystalline silicon, or the like. Here, parameters such as the shape and line width of the sidewall need to be designed according to the requirements of the source region 102 to be formed, and the present invention does not specifically limit it.
[0029] Continuing to refer to (B) in FIG. 2, in step S2, next, using the patterned mask layer 200 and the sidewall 201 as a mask, N-type ions are vertically or obliquely implanted into the surface layer of the well region 101 to form source regions 102 on the surface layers of the well regions 101 on both sides of the patterned mask layer 200. As an example, the N-type ions include at least one of phosphorus (P) ions, arsenic (As) ions, nitrogen (N) ions, etc., the implantation energy is 50 keV to 400 keV (such as 100 keV, 200 keV, etc.), and the implantation dose is 1E14 / cm 2 ~1E16 / cm 2 (such as 5E14 / cm 2 , 1E15 / cm 2 , 5E15 / cm 2 , etc.).
[0030] Continuing to refer to (C) in FIG. 2, in step S3, using the patterned mask layer 200 and the sidewall 201 as masks, P-type second ions are implanted into the N-drift layer 100c below the well region 101 to form a semi-superjunction 103 self-aligned with the source region 102 in the N-drift layer 100c below the well regions 101 on both sides of the patterned mask layer 200. Thus, the semi-superjunction 103 can form a junction deeper than the well region 101. Here, for the second ions, P-type ions that are more likely to diffuse in the N-drift layer 100c are selected. For example, the second ions include boron ions or boron fluoride ions or a combination of both. The implantation direction may be perpendicular to the surface of the N-drift layer 100c. The implantation energy is 100 keV to 2 MeV (such as 500 keV, 800 keV, 1 MeV, etc.), and the implantation dose is 1E12 / cm 2 ~5E14 / cm 2 (such as 5E12 / cm 2 , 1E13 / cm 2 , 5E13 / cm 2 , 1E14 / cm 2 etc.).
[0031] Note that since the semi-superjunction 103 has a junction depth that does not reach the bottom surface of the N-drift layer 100c, it should be noted that the junction depth is shallower than that of a normal superjunction. In this embodiment, the ratio of the depth to the width of the semi-superjunction 103 may be 5 or less. As an example, the junction depth of the semi-superjunction 103 (i.e., the distance from the top surface of the N-drift layer 100c) is 1 μm to 5 μm.
[0032] Referring to (D) in FIG. 2, in step S3, optionally, after injecting P-type second ions, first, the patterned mask layer 200 and the sidewall 201 may be removed. Further, P-type ions including at least one of boron ions, boron fluoride ions, and aluminum ions are injected into a part of the source region 102 to form the body contact region 104, and N-type ions such as nitrogen are injected into the surface layer of the N-drift layer 100c between the well regions 101 on both sides to form the junction injection region 105. Here, the body contact region 104 has its bottom deeply penetrating into a part of the well region 101 in order to short-circuit the source region 102 and the well region 101, and the doping concentration of its P-type ions is higher than that of the well region 101. As an example, the conditions of the ion implantation process in the formation of the body contact region 104 are an implantation energy of 50 keV to 300 keV (for example, 100 keV, 200 keV, etc.), an implantation dose of 1E13 / cm 2 ~1E16 / cm 2 (for example, 5E14 / cm 2 、1E15 / cm 2 、5E15 / cm 2 etc.).
[0033] Continuing to refer to (D) in FIG. 2, in step S3, after completing the corresponding ion implantation process, the substrate 100 is annealed by an annealing activation process to activate all the implanted ions. The annealing temperature is 1500 °C to 1900 °C (for example, 1650 °C, 1700 °C, 1800 °C, etc.), and the annealing time is 2 min to 200 min (for example, 10 min, 20 min, 50 min, 100 min, etc.). In this annealing activation process, the second ions in the semi-superjunction 103 are more likely to diffuse than the first ions in the well region 101. After diffusion, the semi-superjunction 103 is in the vertical direction with its top contacting the bottom of the well region 101 and its bottom diffusing to the required depth in the N-drift layer 100c, and in the horizontal direction, it expands to the junction width required for the device.
[0034] Referring to (E) in FIG. 2, in step S4, first, an appropriate gate oxidation process such as a thermal oxidation process or a chemical vapor deposition process may be used to form a gate oxide layer 301 on the surfaces of the body contact region 104, the source region 102, the well region 101, and the junction implantation region (JFET region) 105. Next, a gate material layer (such as doped polycrystalline silicon, etc.) is deposited on the surface of the gate oxide layer 301, and lithography and etching are performed on the deposited gate material layer and the gate oxide layer 301 to form a gate 302. The formed gate 302 overlaps both the well region 101 and the source region 102, and the overlapping region between the well region 101 and the gate 302 serves as the channel of the MOSFET device (the channel extends from the boundary of the source region 102 to the boundary of the junction implantation region 105).
[0035] Optionally, referring to (F) in FIG. 2, after forming the gate 302, first, an interlayer dielectric layer 400 is coated on the substrate 100 and the gate 302 by a chemical vapor deposition process or the like. The interlayer dielectric layer 400 may have a single-layer dielectric film structure or a laminated structure formed by multiple dielectric films. Next, lithography and etching are performed on the interlayer dielectric layer 400 to pattern the interlayer dielectric layer 400, and after patterning, the gate 302 can be embedded in the interlayer dielectric layer 400 to expose a part of the source region 102. Subsequently, a source metal layer 500 (such as one metal material or alloy of copper, aluminum, gold, etc.) is formed on the interlayer dielectric layer 400 by an appropriate process such as metal sputter deposition or evaporation. The source metal layer 500 is electrically connected to both the source region 102 and the body contact region 104. Thereafter, a drain metal layer (not shown) is formed on the back surface of the N+ substrate 100a.
[0036] Referring to (F) in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a MOSFET device preferably manufactured using the manufacturing method of the MOSFET device of the present invention. The MOSFET device includes a substrate 100, a gate oxide layer 301, a gate 302, an interlayer dielectric layer 400, and a source metal layer 500.
[0037] The substrate 100 can be any suitable semiconductor material. For example, the substrate 100 is an N-type silicon carbide substrate, and from bottom to top, it consists of three layers: an N+ substrate 100a, an N buffer layer 100b, and an N-drift layer 100c in sequence. A P-type well region 101, an N-type source region 102, a P-type semi-superjunction 103, a P-type body contact region 104, and an N-type junction implantation region 105 are formed in the N-drift layer 100c. The well region 101 is formed in the surface layer of a partial region of the N-drift layer 100c, the source region 102 is formed in the surface layer of the well region 101, the semi-superjunction 103 is formed in the N-drift layer 100c below the bottom of the well region 101 and is self-aligned with the source region 102 and contacts the bottom of the well region 101. The P-type ions doped in the well region 101 include ions that are difficult to diffuse, such as aluminum ions, and the P-type ions doped in the semi-superjunction 103 include ions that are easy to diffuse, such as boron ions and / or boron fluoride ions. The body contact region 104 is formed in the source region 102 and shorts the source region 102 and the well region 101. The junction implantation region 105 is formed in the N-drift layer 100c between the well regions 101 on both sides of the bottom of the gate 302.
[0038] The gate oxide layer 301 and the gate 302 are sequentially stacked on the N-drift layer 100c, and the gate 302 overlaps with both the well region 101 and the source region 102. The overlapping region of the well region 101 and the gate 302 serves as the channel of the MOSFET device.
[0039] To better explain the effects of the MOSFET device manufactured in this embodiment, in this embodiment, simulation tests were further conducted on the MOSFET device of this embodiment and the MOSFET device of the prior art. Among them, the MOSFET device of the prior art is different from the MOSFET device of this embodiment only in that there is no semi-superjunction structure in the drift layer below the bottom of the well region, and other structures, manufacturing steps, process conditions, etc. are all the same as those of the MOSFET device of this embodiment. According to the test, in the MOSFET device of the prior art, an electric field spike 106 exists under the gate oxide layer 301, and the electric field spike 106 (that is, the peak of the electric field strength, abbreviated as the electric field peak) is close to the gate oxide layer 301 as shown in FIGS. 3A and 4, thereby constantly threatening the reliability of the device. In contrast, in the MOSFET device of this embodiment, the electric field peak near the gate oxide layer 301 is reduced by 40% compared with the prior art, and its effective reduction is obvious. And the electric field spike 106 (that is, the electric field peak) is shifted below the well region 101 as shown in FIGS. 3B and 4, specifically shifted to the bottom boundary region of the semi-superjunction 103, improving both the breakdown voltage and the reliability of the device.
[0040] From these, it can be seen that the semi-superjunction formed in the MOSFET device of this embodiment plays a role in effectively expanding the junction depth of the well region, enabling the improvement of the device breakdown voltage and realizing the high conductivity of the device. At the same time, it can shift the peak of the electric field strength below the gate oxide layer below the well region, effectively reducing and making more uniform the electric field strength below the gate oxide layer, and further improving the reliability of the device.
[0041] As described above, the method for manufacturing a MOSFET device according to the present invention first performs implantation of a first ion through a patterned mask to form a well region that is difficult to diffuse. Next, implantation of a second ion is performed so as to be self-aligned with the source region by the patterned mask and sidewalls on its sidewalls. Furthermore, due to the characteristic that the second ion diffuses more easily than the first ion, a semi-superjunction that is at the bottom of the well region and in contact with the bottom of the well region is formed. The semi-superjunction plays a role in effectively expanding the junction depth of the well region, enabling improvement of the device breakdown voltage and realizing high conductivity of the device. On the other hand, the peak of the electric field strength below the gate oxide layer is shifted below the well region, effectively reducing the electric field strength below the gate oxide layer and making it more uniform, and further improving the reliability of the device. Also, in the method for manufacturing a MOSFET device according to the present invention, the ion implantation windows for the source region and the semi-superjunction are realized by self-aligning and forming sidewalls on the sidewalls of a patterned mask layer for defining the ion implantation window of the well region. The process is easy to implement, does not require extra multi-layer lithography, and has low cost.
[0042] In addition, since the MOSFET device according to the present invention has a semi-superjunction structure at the bottom of its well region, the electric field strength below the gate oxide layer is effectively reduced and becomes more uniform, and both the device breakdown voltage and reliability are improved.
[0043] The above description is only for the preferred embodiments of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Any changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
