Description

Silicon carbide device isolation structure based on N epitaxy, high and low voltage integrated device and preparation method Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a silicon carbide high- and low-voltage integrated device based on N epitaxy, and also to a method for preparing a silicon carbide high- and low-voltage integrated device based on N epitaxy. Background Art

[0002] The semiconductor industry is increasingly demanding power devices. However, the performance of traditional silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and silicon-based insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) has reached the theoretical limits of their materials, failing to meet the requirements of next-generation power electronics systems. Silicon carbide, a wide-bandgap semiconductor, offers significant advantages over traditional silicon, including a wide bandgap, high critical breakdown electric field, high electron saturation drift velocity, and high thermal conductivity. This makes it an ideal semiconductor material for high-power, high-temperature, high-frequency, and radiation-resistant applications.

[0003] Due to their inherent material advantages, silicon carbide power devices have broad application prospects in high-temperature, high-irradiation fields such as aerospace, new energy vehicles, energy exploration and drilling, and nuclear power. However, the drive circuits and protection circuits currently used with silicon carbide power devices are still silicon-based, which has poor high-temperature and radiation resistance, which seriously limits the application range of silicon carbide power devices. Integrating the silicon carbide half-bridge drive circuit and silicon carbide power devices on the same substrate can reduce parasitic effects and improve system reliability. Although existing silicon carbide integrated devices can achieve monolithic integration, there is severe current crosstalk between high-voltage and low-voltage devices. The potential of the power device and the potential of the drive circuit substrate affect each other, seriously affecting the performance of the device.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The present invention proposes an N-epitaxial silicon carbide high- and low-voltage integrated device. The device can be divided into a high-voltage region, a low-voltage region, and a level-shifting region. Multiple high-energy ion implantations are performed to form a second P-type doped region above the N-type drift region in the low-voltage region and the level-shifting region. The reverse-biased PN junction formed by this second P-type doped region and the drift region completely blocks the influence of the high voltage of the power DMOS drain on the potential of the low-voltage device in the driver circuit. Multiple high-energy ion implantations are performed to form a second N-type doped region deep into the drift region within the epitaxial layer of the low-voltage region, converting the epitaxial layer in the low-voltage region to N-type. The low-voltage device is fabricated within the second N-type doped region. This doped region forms a reverse-biased PN junction with the second P-type doped region formed above the drift region. This ensures that the potential of the power DMOS device is not affected even when the high-side transistor driver substrate potential is at a high voltage. Furthermore, a second isolation trench is provided between the high-voltage and low-voltage regions. This trench extends below the P-type doped region in the drift region, completely blocking lateral current crosstalk between the high-voltage and low-voltage devices. While monolithically integrating the silicon carbide power device with its driver and protection circuits, the device utilizes two back-to-back PN junctions to eliminate vertical potential interference and deep trenches to eliminate lateral current crosstalk, improving the performance and reliability of the silicon carbide half-bridge driver circuit. The device also includes a level-shifting region with an LDMOS device to control the substrate potential in the low-voltage region.

[0024] The N-epitaxial-based silicon carbide device isolation structure, high- and low-voltage integrated device, and fabrication method described herein eliminate crosstalk between high and low voltages through their isolation structure, allowing high- and low-voltage devices to be integrated on the same substrate. The high-voltage DMOS device operates as a power device, while the low-voltage NMOS, PMOS, and JFET devices form a half-bridge drive circuit, protection circuit, and other components. The reverse-biased PN junction formed by the second P-type doped region in the drift region and the N-type drift region completely blocks the effect of the high voltage on the power DMOS drain on the substrate potential of the low-voltage device. The reverse-biased PN junction formed by the second N-type doped region on the epitaxial layer and the second P-type doped region above the drift region eliminates the effect of the driver circuit substrate potential on the power DMOS device. A second isolation trench is provided between the high- and low-voltage regions, and a first isolation trench is provided between the low- and level-shifting regions. The isolation trench extends below the second P-type doped region in the drift region, completely blocking lateral current crosstalk between the low- and high-voltage devices. When the above-mentioned silicon carbide high-low voltage integrated device is used as the gate drive circuit of the half-bridge low-side tube, the potential of the epitaxial layer in the low-voltage area is 0; when used as the gate drive circuit of the half-bridge high-side tube, the LDMOS is turned off, raising the potential of the epitaxial layer in the low-voltage area.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive disclosure of the present invention.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used in this specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0034] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" another element or layer, it may be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to the other element or layer, or there may be intervening elements or layers. Conversely, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element or layer, there may be no intervening elements or layers. In this specification, "connected" should be understood as "electrically connected," "communicatively connected," etc., if the connected circuits, modules, units, etc. have electrical signals or data transmission with each other. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and / or parts, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or part from another element, component, region, layer, or part. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present invention.

[0035] Spatially relative terms such as "under," "beneath," "below," "under," "above," "above," etc., may be used herein for convenience of description to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures to other elements or features. It should be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use and operation in addition to the orientations shown in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, then the elements or features described as "under" or "beneath" or "beneath" the other elements will be oriented as "over" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary terms "under" and "under" may include both the upper and lower orientations. The device may be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatial descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0036] The purpose of the terms used herein is only to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention. When used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "said / the" are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be understood that "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "At least a portion of an element" refers to part or all of an element. It will also be understood that the terms "compose" and / or "comprise", when used in this specification, determine the presence of the features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or parts, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, parts and / or groups. When used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0037] Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views which are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the invention. As such, variations from the shapes shown due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are contemplated. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention should not be limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include deviations in shapes due to, for example, manufacturing. For example, an implanted region shown as a rectangle typically has rounded or curved features and / or an implant concentration gradient at its edges, rather than a binary change from an implanted region to a non-implanted region. Similarly, a buried region formed by implantation may result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface through which the implantation occurs. Accordingly, the regions shown in the figures are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of the region of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0038] The semiconductor field terms used in this article are technical terms commonly used by those skilled in the art. For example, for P-type and N-type impurities, in order to distinguish the doping concentration, P+ type represents P-type with heavy doping concentration, P-type represents P-type with medium doping concentration, P-type represents P-type with light doping concentration, N+ type represents N-type with heavy doping concentration, N-type represents N-type with medium doping concentration, and N-type represents N-type with light doping concentration.
