It is explicitly and implicitly understood that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0047] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0048] Referring to FIGS. 1-2, FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a semiconductor device provided by a first embodiment of the present application; and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 along line A-A. The present application provides a semiconductor device, which can include a semiconductor epitaxial wafer including a substrate and a semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 disposed on a surface of the substrate, and a plurality of semiconductor units 1 disposed on the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100; wherein the semiconductor unit 1 can include a plurality of cells 2 adjacent to each other. Specifically, a side surface of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 away from the substrate is a first surface 10. Wherein the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 can be a SiC N-type epitaxial layer, the thickness thereof can be 5-60um, the doping concentration of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 can be 1x1018-2x1019cm-3, and the doping type thereof can be N-type. The semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 can be formed by epitaxial growth on the substrate. 15 cm -3 10 16 cm -3 ; and the cell 2 can include a first doped region 21 and a second doped region 22.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 2, the first doped region 21 extends from the first surface 10 of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 towards the interior of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100. Specifically, in combination with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first doped region 21 can further include a main body region 211 and a plurality of sub-body regions 212; the main body region 211 has a plurality of vertices, each sub-body region 212 is connected with adjacent vertices; and the sub-body region 212 extends along the vertex to the center point between the corresponding adjacent vertices, and is connected with the corresponding sub-body region 212 extending from the corresponding adjacent vertices. The first doped region 21 can be of a second conductivity type.
[0050] The second doped region 22 is disposed in the main body region 211; and the second doped region 22 extends from the first surface 10 of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 towards the interior of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100; specifically, the second doped region 22 covers part of the main body region 211, and the projection of the second doped region 22 on the first doped region 21 in the thickness direction Z is located in the main body region 211. The second doped region 22 is of a different conductivity type from the first doped region 21; specifically, the second doped region 22 can be of a first conductivity type.
[0051] The second doped region 22 is annular and is spaced apart from the edge of the main body region 211; the outer contour thereof is the same as the shape of the main body region 211, and the corners of the second doped region 22 are arc-shaped to further reduce the electric field strength. The radial distance b between the second doped region 22 and the edge of the main body region 211 is greater than the width c of the sub-body region 212, so that the sub-body region 212 can be completely covered by the second polysilicon layer 42 in the process, avoiding the situation that ions are implanted into the sub-body region 212 in the preparation process of forming the second doped region 22.
[0052] Specifically, by providing that the first doped region 21 includes the main body region 211 and the sub-body region 212, and connecting the vertices of the main body region 211 with the sub-body region 212, the channel length of the cell 2 at the vertices is increased, the electric field strength at the vertices is reduced, and the reverse withstand voltage of the semiconductor device is effectively improved; at the same time, by connecting the sub-body regions 212 of the adjacent cells in the diagonal direction with each other, the P-type implantation of the center of the Junction Field-Effect Transistor (JFET) in the diagonal direction is increased, the electric field strength of the center of the JFET in the diagonal direction is reduced, and the reverse withstand voltage of the semiconductor device is further improved; in this way, by improving the reverse withstand voltage of the semiconductor device, the situation of the on-resistance rising is avoided, and the on-resistance is effectively reduced.
[0053] As shown in FIG. 1, in specific embodiments, the main body region 211 is polygonal; it can be understood that setting the main body region 211 of the first doped region 21 to be polygonal can effectively increase the channel density, thereby reducing the on-resistance. Specifically, the polygon has at least four sides, and can be any one of a square, a rectangle, a hexagon, and an octagon, etc. Preferably, the polygon is a regular polygon.
[0054] The main body region 211 has a plurality of vertices, the number of the sub-body regions 212 is a plurality, and each of the plurality of sub-body regions 212 corresponds to one of the plurality of vertices, and the plurality of sub-body regions 212 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the main body region 211 to surround the main body region 211; each vertex is connected with one sub-body region 212, thereby increasing the channel length at each vertex, effectively reducing the electric field strength at the vertex, and further effectively improving the reverse withstand voltage of the semiconductor device.
[0055] As shown in FIG. 1, in specific embodiments, the sub-body region 212 extends along the diagonal of the polygon, and the sub-body regions 212 of the opposite two vertices of the two polygons adjacent along the diagonal direction of the polygon are connected with each other; to further increase the channel length at the vertex, thereby further improving the reverse withstand voltage of the semiconductor device. Specifically, the plurality of cells 2 are arranged in a two-dimensional array; wherein the main body region 211 can be a quadrilateral, and in this embodiment, the main body region 211 is a square and has four vertices; it can be understood that each cell 2 also has four sub-body regions 212 connected with the four vertices respectively. Wherein each sub-body region 212 extends along the diagonal of the corresponding vertex from the vertex of the main body region 211 to the direction away from the main body region 211, and is connected with the sub-body region 212 of the opposite vertex in the adjacent cell 2 along the diagonal direction; to increase the channel length at the vertex, thereby improving the reverse withstand voltage of the semiconductor device.
[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the shape of the main body region 211 can also be set to a rectangle, a regular hexagon, or a regular octagon, etc., as long as the different input capacitances (Ciss), output capacitances (Coss), and feedback capacitances (Crss) are adjusted to be applied to different scenarios; the specific parameters can be referred to the prior art, which will not be described here.
[0057] In combination with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in specific embodiments, the cell 2 can further include a third doped region 23; the third doped region 23 is arranged in the main body region 211, and the third doped region 23 extends from the first surface 10 of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 to the inside of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100; specifically, in the plane perpendicular to the stacking direction Z, the third doped region 23 is connected with the second doped region, and covers another part of the main body region 211. Wherein the third doped region 23 has the same conductivity type as the first doped region 21, specifically, the third doped region 23 can be of the second conductivity type, and the ion doping concentration of the third doped region 23 is greater than the ion doping concentration of the first doped region 21.
[0058] The second doped region 22 is arranged around the circumferential periphery of the third doped region 23; specifically, the annular second doped region 22 is arranged around the center of the cell 2, and the third doped region 23 is arranged in the central part surrounded by the second doped region 22.
[0059] The first doped region 21 can be understood as a well region of the semiconductor device, the second doped region 22 can be understood as a source region of the semiconductor device, and the third doped region 23 can be understood as a well contact region of the semiconductor device.
[0060] The main body region 211 further includes a first part 2111 not covered by the second doped region 22 and not covered by the third doped region 23, and a second part 2112 covered by the second doped region 22 and the third doped region 23. The first part 2111 is annular and arranged around the circumferential periphery of the second doped region 22, and is located between the edge of the main body region 211 and the edge of the second doped region 22. Specifically, the first part 2111 includes a plurality of top corners 2111a and a side part 2111b connecting the plurality of top corners 2111a; it can be understood that when the main body region 211 is quadrilateral, the first part includes four top corners 2111a and four side parts 2111b connecting the four top corners 2111a.
[0061] As shown in FIG. 1, the width a of each top corner 2111a in the first direction X is greater than the width b of the side part 2111b, so as to increase the channel length of the cell 2 at the top corner, so that the electric field strength at the top corner is reduced, effectively improving the reverse withstand voltage of the semiconductor device. The first direction X is the extension direction of the diagonal of the main body region 211.
[0062] In specific embodiments, the width c of each sub-body region 212 is less than or equal to twice the width b of the side part 2111b. In combination with FIG. 10b, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that in the process of masking and implanting to form the second doped region 22, the side part 2111b and the sub-body region 212 need to be covered by the second polysilicon layer 42, and the second polysilicon layer 42 is formed by growing polysilicon on the surface of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 and the surface of the first mask layer 3; therefore, the width c of the sub-body region 212 needs to be less than or equal to twice the width b of the side part 2111b, so that the sub-body region 212 can be completely covered by the second polysilicon layer 42 in the process, avoiding the situation that ions are implanted into the sub-body region 212 in the preparation process of implanting to form the second doped region 22.
[0063] Specifically, in combination with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the width d of the second doped region 22 is greater than 0.5 um; for example, the width d of the second doped region 22 can be any value among 0.5 um, 0.8 um, 1 um, 1.2 um and 1.5 um. The width a of the top corner 2111a along the first direction X is 0.4-1.4 um; for example, the width a of the top corner 2111a along the first direction X can be any value among 0.4 um, 0.5 um, 0.8 um, 1 um and 1.4 um. The width b of the side edge part 2111b is 0.3-1 um; for example, the width b of the side edge part 2111b can be any value among 0.3 um, 0.35 um, 0.5 um, 0.8 um and 1 um. The width c of the sub-body region is less than twice b, and is 0.6-2 um; for example, the width c of the sub-body region can be any value among 0.6 um, 1 um, 1.5 um and 2 um, and can also be different along the diagonal.
[0064] As shown in FIG. 1, in specific embodiments, the semiconductor unit 1 has a JFET region between adjacent cells 2; wherein the connection of the plurality of sub-body regions 212 connected with the plurality of adjacent top corners 2111a in different cells 2 is located in the center region of the JFET region. Preferably, the center of the JFET region is located at the connection of the four sub-body regions 212 connected with the four adjacent top corners 2111a in different cells 2. By arranging the sub-body region 212 in the center region of the JFET region, the P-type implantation of the center of the JFET region can be increased, the electric field intensity of the center of the JFET region in the diagonal direction is reduced, the reverse withstand voltage of the semiconductor device is further improved, and the leakage current is effectively reduced.
[0065] Specifically, the semiconductor unit 1 can include four adjacent cells 2, the cells 2 are arranged in a two-dimensional array, and the main body region 211 is a quadrilateral; wherein each cell 2 can be a quadrilateral and has four top corners 2111a, and the four sub-body regions 212 connected with the four adjacent top corners 2111a in the four cells 2 are connected with each other, and the connection is located in the center region of the JFET region.
[0066] Referring to FIG. 3a, FIG. 3a is a structural schematic diagram of a semiconductor device according to the second embodiment of the present application; in specific embodiments, the semiconductor device is a MOSFET device, and the semiconductor device can further include a gate structure 6, an insulating layer 7, a source layer 8, and a drain layer 9, etc. The gate structure 6 is disposed on the first surface 10 of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 and located between two adjacent cells 2 and covers the first doped region 21 of each cell 2, wherein the gate structure 6 includes a gate and a gate dielectric layer wrapping the gate; the insulating layer 7 is disposed on the gate structure 6 and extends to the first surface 10 of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 to insulate the gate structure 6 from the source layer 8, and the insulating layer 7 has a gap at a position corresponding to each cell 2 to expose at least part of the third doped region 23 and / or the second doped region 22 in each cell 2; the source layer 8 is disposed on a side of the insulating layer 7 away from the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 and covers the insulating layer 7, and the source layer 8 is electrically connected to each cell 2 through the gap on the insulating layer 7; and the drain layer 9 is disposed on a side of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 away from the source layer 8. The specific structures and functions of the above-mentioned structural elements are the same as or similar to those in the prior art, and for details, please refer to the prior art, which will not be described here.
[0067] The first doped region 21 and the third doped region 23 can be of a second conductivity type, and the second doped region 22 can be of a first conductivity type; the first conductivity type is one of a P-type doped semiconductor or an N-type doped semiconductor, and the second conductivity type is the other of the P-type doped semiconductor or the N-type doped semiconductor. For example, the first doped region 21 can be a P-type lightly doped region to adjust the hole concentration and accurately control the electrical conductivity of the first doped region 21; specifically, the thickness of the first doped region 21 can be 0.8-2 um, and the doping concentration of the first doped region 21 can be 5x10 16 cm -3 -5x10 18 cm -3 . The second doped region 22 can be an N-type heavily doped region to increase the conductivity of the second doped region 22 and improve the current transmission efficiency; specifically, the thickness of the second doped region 22 can be 0.3-1 um, and the doping concentration of the second doped region 22 can be 1x10 19 cm -3 -1x10 20 cm -3 . The third doped region 23 can be a P-type heavily doped region; the thickness thereof can be 0.3-1 um, and the doping concentration of the third doped region 23 can be 1x10 18 cm -3 -1x10 20 cm -3 .
[0068] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first doped region 21 can also be an N-type lightly doped region, the second doped region 22 can be a P-type heavily doped region, and the third doped region 23 can be an N-type heavily doped region.

Specifically, the support layer 32 can include a silicon oxide layer.
[0089] Step S2: patterning the first mask layer to form a plurality of first openings.
[0090] In the implementation, as shown in FIG. 7a, the first mask layer 3 is etched by using a photoetching machine and an ICP device to pattern the first mask layer 3 to form the first openings 30. As shown in FIG. 7b, the first openings 30 can include a main opening 301 and a plurality of sub-openings 302. The main opening 301 is in a square shape, the plurality of main openings 301 are in the first mask layer 3 and the sidewall of the main opening 301 has a corner at the four top corners of the square; the number of the sub-openings 302 is four, and each sub-opening 302 is in communication with the corner of the main opening 301. In this way, the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 corresponding to the sub-opening 302 can also be subjected to P-type implantation.
[0091] Step S3: lightly doping the first surface of the part of the semiconductor epitaxial layer exposed through the first openings to form a first doped region.
[0092] In the implementation, as shown in FIG. 8a, the first surface 10 of the part of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 exposed through the first openings 30 is implanted with P-type ions multiple times at 500°C by using a high-temperature ion implantation device to form the first doped regions 21 in a two-dimensional array on the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100. The first doped regions 21 can be of the second conductivity type.
[0093] Specifically, the implantation energy is 450 keV, 280 keV and 120 keV respectively, and the implantation dose is 2×10 13 cm -2 , 1×10 13 cm -2 and 3×10 13 cm -2 respectively; the first doped regions 21 are P-type lightly doped regions. As shown in FIG. 8b, the first doped regions 21 include a main region 211 corresponding to the main opening 301 and a sub-region 212 corresponding to the sub-opening 302; the main region 211 has a top corner, and the sub-region 212 is connected to the top corner.

[0096] In the specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 9, a polycrystalline silicon material is deposited and grown on the exposed first surface 10 of the partial semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 and the surface of the first mask layer 3 to form the second mask layer 4; so that the second mask layer 4 covers the patterned first mask layer 3 and the first doped region 21; and the second mask layer 4 can include a polycrystalline silicon layer.
[0097] Specifically, step S4 further includes growing a polycrystalline silicon layer with a thickness of 0.1-1um. A polycrystalline silicon is prepared by decomposing silane (SiH4) at a low temperature of 450-700℃ using an LPCVD method; and the deposition rate is 50-500A / min.

In combination with FIG. 7b, the thickness b of the second polycrystalline silicon layer 42 is greater than half of the width c of the secondary opening 302; so that the second polycrystalline silicon layer 42 can completely fill the secondary opening 302, thereby completely covering the secondary body region 212; to avoid the situation that the subsequent process of forming the second doped region 22 causes adverse effects on the secondary body region 212.
[0098] Step S5: patterning the second mask layer to form a plurality of second openings.
[0099] In the specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 10a, the projection of the second opening 40 on the first doped region 21 is located in the main body region 211, and the projection of the second opening 40 on the first doped region 21 is annular and surrounds the center of the main opening 301. Specifically, step S5 further includes:
[0100] Step S51: forming a second opening on the third polycrystalline silicon layer, and keeping the second polycrystalline silicon layer in the secondary opening covering the secondary body region.
[0101] Specifically, in combination with FIG. 10b, the third polycrystalline silicon layer 43 is etched using a mask to form an annular second opening 40, and the second polycrystalline silicon layer 42 in the secondary opening 302 is kept covering the secondary body region 212; to avoid the situation that the subsequent process of forming the second doped region 22 causes adverse effects on the secondary body region 212. Specifically, the part of the third polycrystalline silicon layer 43 located in the center of the annular second opening 40 is reserved as a mask for implanting N-type ions to form the second doped region 22 in the subsequent process.
[0102] Step S52: Remove the first polysilicon layer.
[0103] Specifically, the first polysilicon layer 41 located on the top surface of the patterned first mask layer 3 is removed using a mask etching method.
[0104] Step S6: Redoping at least a portion of the first doped region exposed through the second opening to form a second doped region.
[0105] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG11, N-type ions are repeatedly implanted into the first surface 10 of the exposed annular semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 through the second opening 40 at 500°C using a high-temperature ion implantation device to form an annular second doped region 22. The second doped region 22 has a different conductivity type than the first doped region 21; specifically, the second doped region 22 can be of the first conductivity type. In other embodiments, P-type implantation can also be performed on the first surface 10 of the exposed annular semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 through the second opening 40.
[0106] It is understood that, in specific embodiments, the first conductivity type is either a P-type doped semiconductor or an N-type doped semiconductor, and the second conductivity type is either a P-type doped semiconductor or an N-type doped semiconductor.
[0107] Specifically, the injection energies were 200keV, 100keV, and 30keV, and the injection doses were 5×10⁻⁶. 14 cm -2 2×10 14 cm -2 3×10 14 cm -2 The second doped region 22 is an N-type heavily doped region. The thickness f of the second doped region 22 is less than the thickness e of the first doped region 21; that is, along the thickness direction Z, the portion of the first doped region 21 that is close to the first surface 10 and corresponds to the second opening 40 forms the second doped region 22.
[0108] Step S7: Remove the patterned first mask layer and the patterned second mask layer.
[0109] Specifically, as shown in Figure 12, a wet etching process can be used to remove the remaining first mask layer 3 and second mask layer 4. Then, a third mask layer 5 is deposited on the first surface 10 of the semiconductor epitaxial layer 100 and patterned to expose the portion of the main body region 211 surrounded by the second doped region 22.
[0110] After step S7, the process may further include: redoping a portion of the undoped region of the first doped region to form a third doped region.
[0111] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 13, which is a schematic diagram of the structure forming the third doped region, P-type ions are repeatedly implanted into a portion of the undoped area of the first doped region 21 through a patterned third mask layer 5 at 500°C using a high-temperature ion implantation device to form the third doped region 23. Specifically, the implantation energies are 180keV, 120keV, 80keV, 60keV, and 30keV, and the implantation doses are 3×10⁻⁶. 14 cm -2 2×10 14 cm -2 4×10 14 cm -2 2×10 14 cm -2 3×10 14 cm -2 The third doped region 23 is a heavily p-type doped region. The thickness g of the third doped region 23 is less than the thickness e of the first doped region 21.
[0112] Specifically, the steps for forming the third doped region may include: heavily doping the portion of the first doped region surrounding the second doped region to form the third doped region.
[0113] In a specific embodiment, the second doped region 22 can be annular; after the third mask layer 5 is patterned, the portion of the first doped region 21 surrounded by the second doped region 22 is exposed; after P-type ions are implanted through the opening of the third mask layer 5, the portion of the first doped region 21 close to the first surface 10 and surrounded by the second doped region 22 forms the third doped region 23. The third doped region 23 has the same conductivity type as the first doped region 21; specifically, the third doped region 23 can be of the first conductivity type.
[0114] Following the step of forming the third doped region, the process may further include forming a gate structure, an insulating layer, a source layer, and a drain layer to form a semiconductor device. These processes are the same as or similar to relevant processes in the prior art, and can be found in the prior art for details, which will not be elaborated here.
