Abstract
Description
Conductive channel structure of silicon carbide device, fully integrated silicon carbide device and fully integrated preparation process thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor power devices, and in particular to a conductive channel structure of a silicon carbide device, a fully integrated silicon carbide device and a fully integrated preparation process thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of microelectronics technology, traditional silicon-based devices have approached the theoretical limits of their inherent capabilities. In contrast, silicon carbide (SiC) is widely considered to be the most competitive alternative to silicon-based devices due to its wide bandgap, high critical electric field strength, high saturation velocity, and high thermal conductivity, especially in high-tech fields such as new energy vehicles, energy exploration and drilling, and nuclear power. However, there are currently two problems with silicon carbide devices: First, compared with silicon devices, due to the serious lattice mismatch of SiC / SiO2, the interface state density of silicon carbide devices is much greater than that of silicon-based devices, which makes the channel carrier mobility of silicon carbide devices much lower than that of silicon-based devices, and the channel resistance accounts for a higher proportion of the total on-resistance. Currently, a silicon carbide buried channel structure can be used to solve this problem. The so-called buried channel structure is to add a layer of area in the channel area of the silicon carbide device. The doping type of this area is the same as the source and drain area. When the device is turned off, the channel is depleted through the interface state and PN junction. When it is turned on, the current can flow in the channel, thereby reducing the impact of the interface state. However, the interface state density of silicon carbide is related to the preparation process, and the interface state density cannot be accurately predicted, which makes it difficult to control the doping concentration and injection depth of the channel, so that the buried channel structure has not been well applied. Secondly, the problem of excessive silicon carbide channel resistance due to high interface state density is more serious in low-voltage devices. Therefore, the current applications of silicon carbide devices are all discrete devices, and the circuit parts used with silicon carbide discrete devices use silicon-based chips. However, traditional silicon-based chips have poor high-temperature resistance and radiation resistance, which cannot fully utilize the advantages of wide-bandgap power devices. Therefore, if a new channel structure can be proposed to improve the channel carrier mobility and reduce the channel resistance, the problems existing in current silicon carbide low-voltage devices can be solved, and silicon carbide power devices and their circuit parts can be monolithically integrated to improve the performance and reliability of power electronic systems. This is of great significance for high-temperature and radiation-resistant applications in special scenarios.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0021] This patent provides a new type of silicon carbide channel structure. Compared with traditional silicon carbide devices, when the silicon carbide device is turned on, the silicon carbide channel structure of the present invention can open the channel below the SiC / SiO2 interface under the action of the gate voltage, so that the channel current flows below the SiC / SiO2 interface, reducing the influence of the interface state on the channel carrier mobility, thereby improving the channel carrier mobility of the silicon carbide device, greatly reducing the channel resistance, and solving the problem of excessive channel resistance caused by low channel mobility of silicon carbide devices. The channel structure adopted by the present invention is divided into two parts, upper and lower. When the silicon carbide device is turned off, the silicon carbide channel structure of the present invention can be depleted by the lower channel region and the upper P-type region / N-type region, and gets rid of the existing technology that relies on the interface state to deplete the channel structure. In the off state, the traditional buried channel structure requires the interface state and the substrate to deplete it together, but the size of the interface state and the depletion of the buried channel are unpredictable, and it is easy to make a normally-on device. In addition, based on the novel channel structure, the present invention has invented a fully integrated process for silicon carbide devices, realizing the monolithic integration of silicon carbide devices and other silicon carbide circuits. Compared with traditional silicon-based circuits used in conjunction with silicon carbide power devices, this solves the problem that silicon-based devices cannot work normally in high-temperature, high-radiation environments, and can fully exert the performance of silicon carbide devices.
