[0034] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0035] FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a super junction IGBT device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG1 , the super junction IGBT device comprises: a first conductive type epitaxial layer 1, a plurality of trenches 2 spaced apart on one side of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1, a first conductive type well region 3, a second conductive type well region 4 and a first conductive type heavily doped region 5 sequentially arranged between adjacent trenches 2 along the extension direction of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1, polysilicon 6 and an oxide layer 7 surrounding the polysilicon 6 are arranged in the trenches 2, an emitter metal layer 8 is arranged in the direction away from the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1, and the emitter metal layer 8 is connected to the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1. The first conductive type heavily doped region 5 is connected, an insulating dielectric layer 9 is arranged between the emitter metal layer 8 and the trench 2, and a buffer layer 10, a second conductive type layer 11 and a collector metal layer 12 are arranged in sequence on the other side of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1 along the direction away from the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1; a plurality of second conductive type super junction structures 13 are arranged along the extension direction of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1 in the body region of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1, and the concentration of the second conductive type super junction structure 13 changes gradually along the extension direction of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, the concentration of the second conductive type super junction structure 13 decreases gradually along the extension direction of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1. In the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1, a first conductive type super junction structure 14 is formed between two adjacent second conductive type super junction structures 13. The second conductive type super junction structure 13 and the first conductive type super junction structure 14 are both columnar structures. The second conductive type super junction structure 13 is a gourd-shaped columnar structure. The figures of the embodiments of the present invention are illustrated using an N-type IGBT device as an example. If it is an N-type IGBT device, the first conductive type is N-type and the second conductive type is P-type. If it is a P-type IGBT device, the opposite is true. The embodiment of the present invention uses the second conductive type super junction structure 13 with a gradually varying concentration, which is more conducive to forming a regular PN column alternating distribution structure to achieve a regular rectangular electric field distribution in the body region and maximize the device withstand voltage.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the layout design between the front trench and the superjunction structure is optimized. For conventional IGBT devices, in the blocking state, the highest electric field within the chip typically occurs at the silicon surface at the bottom of the trench and in the gate oxide dielectric layer above the silicon surface at that location. If the second-conductivity-type superjunction structure 13 in the body region is connected to the bottom of the trench, the second-conductivity-type superjunction structure 13 can weaken the electric field at the bottom of the trench, thereby improving device reliability. Furthermore, staggering the second-conductivity-type superjunction structure 13 from the first-conductivity-type well region 3 of the front cell can prevent the second-conductivity-type doping at the top of the second-conductivity-type superjunction structure 13 from affecting the first-conductivity-type doping of the first-conductivity-type well region 3, thereby affecting the carrier storage effect of the first-conductivity-type well region 3 and increasing the collector-emitter turn-on voltage Vceon of the IGBT device. Referring to Figure 2, a second-conductivity-type superjunction structure 13 can be disposed in the body region of the first-conductivity-type epitaxial layer 1 directly below any trench 2, and the second-conductivity-type superjunction structure 13 can be in contact with the oxide layer 7 below the trench 2. Alternatively, referring to FIG3 , a second conductive type super junction structure 13 may be provided in the body region of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1 directly below any of the trenches 2 , and the second conductive type super junction structure 13 may be spaced from the bottom of the trench 2 by a first preset distance h.

[0038] Referring to Figure 4, the second conductive type super junction structure 13 and the first conductive type super junction structure 14 in Figure 2 are swapped left and right. A second conductive type super junction structure 13 is set in the body region of the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1 directly below any adjacent grooves 2, and the end of the second conductive type super junction structure 13 close to the groove 2 is flush with the bottom of the groove 2. The first conductive type super junction structure 14 is at the bottom of the groove 2. When the second conductive type super junction structure 13 is below the table, it has certain advantages for the dynamic performance of the device. During the tailing stage of the device turn-off current, there are still holes injected into the collector on the back of the chip. At this time, the second conductive type super junction structure 13 can collect holes faster, providing a hole extraction path, so that the tailing time and current of the turn-off process are reduced, thereby reducing losses. Referring to Figure 5 , a second conductivity type superjunction structure 13 is disposed in the body region of the first conductivity type epitaxial layer 1 directly below any adjacent trenches 2. The end of the second conductivity type superjunction structure 13 proximal to the trench 2 is spaced a second predetermined distance from the bottom of the trench 2 in the extension direction of the first conductivity type epitaxial layer 1. The second predetermined distance can be equal to the first predetermined distance h, but can also be different in other embodiments of the present invention, and this is not specifically limited herein. The first and second predetermined distances are preferably 4-10 μm.

[0039] Based on the same concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for manufacturing a super junction IGBT device. As shown in FIG6 , the method for manufacturing a super junction IGBT device includes:

[0040] Step S11: growing a first conductivity type epitaxial layer on a first conductivity type substrate, gradually performing second conductivity type implantation, and annealing to form a second conductivity type super junction structure.

[0041] The embodiment of the present invention is specifically described using an N-type superjunction IGBT device. Two main methods can be used to manufacture the second conductivity type superjunction structure. Referring to FIG7 , a first conductivity type epitaxial layer epi1 is generated on a first conductivity type substrate N++sub. This first conductivity type epitaxial layer epi1 is relatively thick, and its thickness is not less than the sum of the thickness used to prepare the second conductivity type superjunction structure and the distance between the bottom of the second conductivity type superjunction structure 13 and the first conductivity type substrate N++sub. The first conductivity type substrate N++sub and the first conductivity type epitaxial layer epi1 are heavily doped with the first conductivity type, and the doping concentration of the first conductivity type substrate N++sub is higher than the doping concentration of the first conductivity type epitaxial layer epi1. After the second conductivity type superjunction structure is prepared, a new first conductivity type epitaxial layer is continuously generated on the first conductivity type substrate to be used for the front IGBT trench etching structure. Then, starting from a first distance away from the first conductive type epitaxial layer epi1 on the side away from the first conductive type substrate N++sub, a second conductive type is injected into the first conductive type epitaxial layer epi1 at intervals of a second distance, and the injection dose is successively reduced, wherein the second distance is equal to 1 / n of the first distance, and n is a positive integer. For example, after photolithography on the epitaxial layer epi1, the injection is performed, such as "e++++" is the highest injection energy, and the P-type impurities are injected into the position d required by the design, and the "e+++" energy is the second highest, and the P-type impurities are injected into the position required by the design "e++" is to inject P-type impurities into the desired position of the design "e+" is to inject P-type impurities into the desired position of the design And so on. To keep the total dose p of P-type injected in the current step unchanged, the dose injected each time is The larger the n value, the more uniform the doping distribution in the superjunction region and the more uniform the electric field distribution at the PN column interface, maximizing the withstand voltage.

[0042] The second preparation method of the second conductive type super junction structure is shown in Figure 8. A first conductive type epitaxial layer epi1 is generated on the first conductive type epitaxial layer 1. The thickness of the first conductive type epitaxial layer epi1 only needs to be no less than the spacing between the bottom of the second conductive type super junction structure and the first conductive type substrate N++sub. Then, a new first conductive type epitaxial layer epi2-epi5 is epitaxially grown on the first conductive type epitaxial layer epi1 for n times, and a second conductive type injection is performed in each new first conductive type epitaxial layer epi2-epi5 grown, and the injection dose is successively reduced, and n is a positive integer. In the embodiment of the present invention, by increasing the P-type injection of the first conductive type epitaxial layer, each subsequent injection step gradually increases to ensure that a "gourd"-shaped distribution of uniform size is formed after all thermal budgets, so as to achieve a regular rectangular electric field distribution and maximize the device withstand voltage.

[0043] After the second conductivity type super junction structure is prepared, as shown in FIG9 , a new first conductivity type epitaxial layer epi6 is generated on the first conductivity type substrate for use in the trench etching structure on the front side of the super junction IGBT device.

[0044] After the gradient second conductivity type implantation is complete, annealing is performed to form a second conductivity type superjunction structure, as shown in Figure 10. This utilizes the concentration difference between the highly doped first conductivity type substrate and the first conductivity type epitaxial layer, creating a concentration gradient after thermal budgeting. Subsequent thinning of the first conductivity type substrate is all that is needed to form the buffer layer.

[0045] Step S12: implanting a second conductivity type well region on the first conductivity type epitaxial layer, and then performing trench etching and oxide layer growth.

[0046] Referring to Figure 11 , a second conductivity type well region is implanted in the first conductivity type epitaxial layer. Specifically, P-type impurities are implanted in the epitaxial layer N+epi1 to form a P-type well region PW. Trench etching is then performed to form trenches AT and DT, where trench AT serves as the emitter trench and trench DT as the gate trench. After trench etching, an oxide layer is grown on the device surface. The resulting structure is shown in Figure 12 .

[0047] Step S13: filling the trench with polysilicon and implanting a first conductivity type well region.

[0048] 13 , polysilicon is filled in the etched trenches. After the polysilicon filling is completed, a first conductivity type well region is implanted on a side of the second conductivity type well region close to the second conductivity type super junction structure to form a first conductivity type well region.

[0049] Step S14: forming an insulating dielectric layer and implanting a first conductive type heavily doped region, then etching contact holes on the first conductive type heavily doped region and performing metallization to form an emitter metal layer.

[0050] Referring to Figure 14 , an insulating dielectric layer is first grown on the surface of the superjunction IGBT device. Then, a heavily doped region of the first conductivity type is implanted to form the heavily doped region 5. Contact holes are then etched above the insulating dielectric layer 9, and finally, surface metallization is performed to form the emitter metal layer 8. The emitter metal layer 8 is connected to the heavily doped region 5 of the first conductivity type through the contact hole.

[0051] Step S15: thinning the first conductive type substrate to form a buffer layer, and sequentially forming a second conductive type layer and a collector metal layer on a side of the buffer layer away from the first conductive type epitaxial layer.

[0052] After the annealing treatment in step S11, a concentration gradient difference has been formed between the first conductive type substrate and the first conductive type epitaxial layer. In this way, in step S15, the first conductive type substrate needs to be precisely thinned to the position of the required concentration to form a shallow buffer layer structure on the back side, forming a gradually changing "soft" buffer layer (shallow buffer) structure design. Compared with the traditional process, it reduces specific injection and thermal diffusion processes, further reducing the difficulty and cost of the process. In this way, this method can replace the conventional buffer layer obtained by back injection, further reducing the back process flow and reducing process costs. The super junction IGBT device shown in Figure 5 is obtained.

[0053] The super-junction IGBT device of the embodiment of the present invention adopts a P-column structure formed by a "gradient P" injection method, which is more conducive to forming a regular PN-column alternating distribution structure to achieve a regular rectangular electric field distribution in the body region and maximize the device's withstand voltage; the integrated chip back buffer layer structure design optimizes the back injection process flow, which not only improves the chip's sophistication, but also further improves the chip's performance.

[0054] In summary, the super junction IGBT device of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a first conductive type epitaxial layer, a plurality of trenches spaced apart on one side of the first conductive type epitaxial layer, a first conductive type well region, a second conductive type well region and a first conductive type heavily doped region are sequentially arranged between adjacent trenches along the extension direction of the first conductive type epitaxial layer, polysilicon and an oxide layer surrounding the polysilicon are arranged in the trenches, an emitter metal layer is arranged in the direction away from the first conductive type epitaxial layer, the emitter metal layer is connected to the first conductive type heavily doped region, and an insulating layer is arranged between the emitter metal layer and the trenches. A buffer layer, a second conductive type layer and a collector metal layer are sequentially arranged on the other side of the first conductive type epitaxial layer along a direction away from the first conductive type epitaxial layer; a plurality of second conductive type super junction structures are arranged in the body region of the first conductive type epitaxial layer along the extension direction of the first conductive type epitaxial layer, and the concentration of the second conductive type super junction structure changes gradually along the extension direction of the first conductive type epitaxial layer; the design requirements of the refined cell are met, the current density of the trench gate IGBT device is improved, and the introduction of the super junction structure accelerates the switching speed of the device, maximizes the withstand voltage of the device, reduces the switching loss of the device, and has strong practicality.
