Description

Silicon-on-insulator semiconductor structure and manufacturing method thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a silicon-on-insulator semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the wide application of ultra-large scale integrated circuits in various fields, the development of high-voltage high-power semiconductor devices is increasingly required by the system. Silicon carbide devices have many advantages over silicon-based devices and have gradually replaced silicon-based devices in various application scenarios. The wide application of silicon carbide devices has also driven the development of gate drive chips. The traditional isolation method of silicon carbide device drive cannot realize monolithic integration, and faces the problems of size, cost and reliability, so the monolithic integrated gate drive chip is mostly realized based on the bulk silicon high-voltage BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) process. However, the junction isolation and low substrate doping concentration between the substrate and the active layer of the bulk silicon device result in poor negative transient voltage resistance, which is not suitable for silicon carbide MOSFET gate drive. Compared with the bulk silicon structure, the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure adopts dielectric isolation, which completely isolates the electrical connection between the active layer and the substrate, so that the SOI device has advantages in latch-up resistance, anti-device crosstalk and integration density. The dielectric isolation feature makes it have stronger negative transient voltage resistance, so the SOI-based high-voltage gate drive chip can drive the silicon carbide device.

[0037] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings illustrate alternative embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention may be implemented 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 understanding of the present invention.

[0038] 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 herein in the 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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.

[0043] The semiconductor field terms used herein are technical terms commonly used by those skilled in the art, for example, for P-type and N-type impurities, to distinguish doping concentrations, P+ type represents a heavily doped P-type, P type represents a medium doped P-type, P- type represents a lightly doped P-type, N+ type represents a heavily doped N-type, N type represents a medium doped N-type, and N- type represents a lightly doped N-type.

[0044] The inventors believe that the main limiting factor for conventional silicon-on-insulator integrated high-voltage devices to achieve a breakdown voltage of 1200V and above is the vertical withstand voltage. Specifically, the presence of the buried oxide layer blocks the electrical connection between the active layer and the substrate, preventing them from being mutually depleted, so that the substrate cannot participate in the vertical withstand voltage, making the vertical withstand voltage of conventional silicon-on-insulator integrated high-voltage devices only about 600V.

[0045] Exemplarily, the following two schemes can be used to realize an integrated silicon-on-insulator high-voltage device of 1200V level: one scheme is to increase the thickness of the buried oxide layer. Since the critical breakdown field of the buried oxide layer is much higher than that of silicon material, and due to the difference in dielectric constant between silicon and silicon dioxide material, the electric field in the buried oxide layer is about 3 times that in silicon, so increasing the thickness of the buried oxide layer can significantly improve the vertical breakdown voltage of the device. However, this scheme has obvious disadvantages, because a too thick buried oxide layer will cause poor thermal conductivity, resulting in local lattice temperature rise of the device and causing degradation of the electrical parameters of the device. These degradation phenomena make the device reliability worse. At the same time, a thick buried oxide layer will also cause problems in process and cost, making it difficult to realize large-scale commercial application. The other scheme is to use an ultra-thin top silicon layer. Since the ultra-thin top silicon layer reduces the vertical ionization integration path of the carriers, the vertical critical breakdown field of the top silicon layer is significantly improved, so the electric field in the buried oxide layer is also significantly improved, and the breakdown voltage of the device is significantly increased. However, an excessively thin top silicon layer will cause a weak current-carrying capacity problem.

[0046] The present application designs an innovative silicon-on-insulator semiconductor structure, which uses a thick-film silicon-on-insulator high-low voltage compatible process platform, and can improve the off-state vertical breakdown voltage of the silicon-on-insulator integrated high-voltage device. The silicon-on-insulator semiconductor structure comprises a lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, which comprises:

[0047] a substrate;

[0048] a buried dielectric layer located on part of the substrate;

[0049] a drift region located on the buried dielectric layer;

[0050] a deep well, wherein the deep well is located in the substrate and at least part of the deep well is located below the buried dielectric layer.

[0051] a drain region above the buried dielectric layer;

[0052] a source region above the buried dielectric layer, at least part of the drift region being between the source region and the drain region;

[0053] a gate;

[0054] wherein the deep well is opposite in conductivity type to the substrate.

[0055] The lateral double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor can be an NLDMOS, the drain region of which is electrically connected to the deep well, and the drift region, the source region and the drain region of which have the same conductivity type.

[0056] The lateral double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor can also be a PLDMOS, the source region of which is electrically connected to the deep well, and the drift region, the source region and the drain region of which have the same conductivity type.

[0057] The lateral double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor can further comprise both the aforementioned NLDMOS and the aforementioned PLDMOS.

[0058] The silicon-on-insulator semiconductor structure described above leads out the potential of the deep well opposite in conductivity type to the substrate and connects it to the drain region of the NLDMOS / the source region of the PLDMOS, and makes the substrate participate in the vertical voltage resistance through mutual depletion of the deep well and the substrate, thereby improving the breakdown voltage of the device.

The P-type buried layer 114 has a doping concentration greater than that of the substrate 10. The P-type buried layer 114 can be used to adjust the charge balance, ensuring that the N-type drift region 142 of the NLDMOS can be completely depleted, preventing the device from breaking down prematurely, and the P-type buried layer 114 can also assist the deep N-well 12 in depletion.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the present application, the silicon-on-insulator semiconductor structure further comprises a junction termination region. Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, the silicon-on-insulator semiconductor structure further comprises a first isolation groove structure 32, a second isolation groove structure 34, an N-type region 16, and a P-type region 18.

[0065] The first isolation groove structure 32 comprises an insulating material disposed in a first trench, the first trench being a closed loop structure, and the junction termination region, the N-type drift region 142, and the P-type drift region 242 are located outside the first trench (i.e., outside the closed loop structure of the first isolation groove structure 32). The bottom of the insulating material in the first trench is connected to the buried dielectric layer 22, i.e., the first isolation groove structure 32 and the buried dielectric layer 22 are connected together to form a surrounding insulating structure.

[0066] The second isolation groove structure 34 comprises an insulating material disposed in a second trench, the second trench being a closed loop structure, and the junction termination region, the N-type drift region 142, and the P-type drift region 242 are located inside the second trench (i.e., inside the closed loop structure of the second isolation groove structure 34). The bottom of the insulating material in the second trench is connected to the buried dielectric layer 22, i.e., the second isolation groove structure 34 and the buried dielectric layer 22 are connected together to form a surrounding insulating structure.

[0067] The N-type region 16 is located inside the first trench (i.e., inside the closed loop structure of the first isolation groove structure 32), and a portion of the top of the deep N-well 12 is connected to the bottom of the N-type region 16, thereby leading out through the N-type region 16 and electrically connected to the drain region 154 of the NLDMOS and the source region 252 of the PLDMOS.

Further, the process platform of the present application can adopt a thick film process, i.e. the top layer of silicon in the SOI is a thick film. Specifically, the thickness of the epitaxial layer is 6-18 microns, and is formed by one-time epitaxy or multiple epitaxy. The problem of weak current capacity and difficult heat dissipation in the thin film process is avoided. The thick film SOI structure has the advantages of strong current capacity, compatible process flow with the bulk silicon process, and simultaneous integration of the NLDMOS and the PLDMOS.

In one embodiment of the application, the NLDMOS further includes an interlayer dielectric layer 74 on the surface of the device. The source region 152 is connected to the P-type body tap 156 and the P-type tap 19 by conductive material in the overlying contact hole (the contact hole extends through the interlayer dielectric layer 74) and a metal interconnect layer on the contact hole.

The gate 262 extends from the P-type body region 246 proximate the source region 252 to the field oxide layer 272.

[0087] In one embodiment, the gates 162 and 262 are of polysilicon material, although in other embodiments, metals, metal nitrides, metal silicides, or the like can be used as the material for the gates 162 / 262. A gate dielectric layer can also be provided at the bottom of the gates 162 and 262, and can include conventional dielectric materials such as oxides, nitrides, and oxynitrides of silicon having dielectric constants from about 4 to about 20 (measured in vacuum), or can include higher dielectric constant dielectric materials having dielectric constants from about 20 to at least about 100. Such higher dielectric constant dielectric materials can include, but are not limited to, hafnium oxide, hafnium silicates, titanium oxide, barium strontium titanates (BSTs), and lead zirconium titanates (PZTs).

[0088] Take NLDMOS in FIG. 2 as an example to illustrate the working principle of the high-voltage LDMOS device in the platform: when the device is reversely biased (the drain is positively biased, and the gate 162, the source and the substrate 10 are grounded), the PN junction formed by the substrate 10 and the deep N well 12 is reversely biased. As the external bias continuously increases, the space charge region of the P-type low-doped substrate 10 continuously expands downward. By setting appropriate substrate resistivity and deep N well 12 concentration, the breakdown voltage of the PN junction formed by the substrate 10 and the deep N well 12 can be greater than 1200V, so that the longitudinal withstand voltage of the LDMOS device can reach 1200V or more. In this way, the breakdown voltage of the silicon-on-insulator integrated high-voltage device can reach 1200V or more on a conventional SOI-based process platform, avoiding the adverse factors caused by thick buried oxide layers and ultra-thin top silicon. The working principle of the PLDMOS device is similar.

[0089] Based on all the above embodiments, the application introduces a deep N well 12 into a P-type substrate and leads the potential of the deep N well 12 from the surface, and participates in the longitudinal withstand voltage of the substrate 10 through the mutual depletion of the deep N well 12 and the substrate 10, thereby improving the longitudinal withstand voltage of the silicon-on-insulator integrated high-voltage device and making the breakdown voltage of the device reach 1200V or more without introducing too many complex processes. Based on the conventional thick-film SOI-based process platform, the application can avoid the adverse factors caused by thick buried oxide layers and ultra-thin top silicon.
