[0123] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminology used in the implementation section of this application is only for explaining specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the application. Those skilled in the art will recognize that, with technological advancements and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.
[0124] Ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor materials with band gaps greater than silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) also include gallium oxide (Ga2O3), diamond, and aluminum nitride (AlN). As wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor materials, they have attracted widespread attention from the industry due to their excellent material properties. Compared with traditional Si materials, they have advantages in physical properties such as band gap width, critical breakdown electric field strength, and electron saturation drift velocity. Power devices fabricated from them, such as diodes and transistors, have superior electrical characteristics and can meet the high-power, high-voltage, high-frequency, and high-temperature application requirements that silicon-based devices cannot satisfy. This represents one of the breakthrough paths beyond Moore's Law, and therefore they are widely used in the new energy field (photovoltaics, energy storage, charging piles, electric vehicles, etc.), driving the development of the "new energy revolution."
[0125] As wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor materials, their superior optical and electrical properties have made them an exciting and challenging new research area. The larger bandgap allows devices to be used in many extreme environments. For example, in geothermal energy production and oil and gas extraction, they can achieve higher drilling speeds and lower failure rates. In high-temperature environments, they enable electronically controlled aluminum plants, steel mills, and coal-fired and gas-fired power plants to operate at higher temperatures, thereby improving the energy efficiency of these industrial processes.
[0126] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0127] It should be noted that the directional terms used in this invention are based on the relative positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be taken as absolute limitations on this application.
[0128] Referring to Figure 1, which is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of a MOSFET device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and Figure 1b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram; referring to Figure 2, which is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of another MOSFET device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and Figure 2b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram; referring to Figure 3, which is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of yet another MOSFET device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and Figure 3b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram; referring to Figure 4, which is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of yet another MOSFET device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and Figure 4b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram. The MOSFET device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a substrate 11.
[0129] An N-type withstand voltage layer 12 located on one side of the substrate 11; a drain electrode 13 located on the side of the substrate 11 opposite to the N-type withstand voltage layer 12.
[0130] A P-type well region 14, a source region, and a trench gate are disposed on the surface of the N-type withstand voltage layer 12 on the side opposite to the substrate 11; the trench gate includes a trench and a gate 15 located in the trench, and a gate dielectric layer 16 is provided between the gate 15 and the trench.
[0131] The source region includes an N-type source region 17 and a P-type source region 18; the N-type source region 17 is located on the side of the P-type well region 14 away from the substrate 11, and the P-type source region 18 is located on both sides of the trench, the trench penetrating the N-type source region 17 and the P-type well region 14.
[0132] The source electrode 19 is in contact with the N-type source region 17 and the P-type source region 14.
[0133] A P-type buried layer 20 is located within the N-type withstand voltage layer 12 and between the bottom of the trench and the substrate 11; the P-type buried layer 20 is electrically connected to the source electrode, and there is a gap between the P-type buried layer 20 and the bottom of the trench.
[0134] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the P-type source region 18 is located on both sides of the trench, and the injection depth of the P-type source region 18 is relatively deep, which can shield part of the potential from the drain 13. On this basis, a P-type buried layer 20 is disposed in the N-type withstand voltage layer 12 between the bottom of the trench and the substrate 11. The P-type buried layer 20 is electrically connected to the source, which solves the problem of insufficient protection of the electric field at the bottom of the trench by the P-type source region 18, improves the protection effect of the electric field at the bottom of the trench, and achieves effective protection of the gate dielectric layer under high drain voltage. Referring to Figure 5, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the current path of the MOSFET device in Figure 2 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Since there is a gap between the P-type buried layer 20 and the bottom of the trench, the current can also flow between the bottom of the trench and the P-type buried layer 20. There is no problem that the design of the P-type buried layer 20 hinders the current flow, thereby comprehensively improving the working performance of the MOSFET device.
[0135] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG6, FIG6 is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of another MOSFET device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG6a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and FIG6b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram; referring to FIG7, FIG7 is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of another MOSFET device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG7a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and FIG7b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram; referring to FIG8, FIG8 is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of another MOSFET device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG8a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and FIG8b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram. The width of the P-type buried layer 20 is equal to the width of the trench; or, the width of the P-type buried layer 20 is less than the width of the trench; or, the width of the P-type buried layer 20 is greater than the width of the trench.
[0136] In a direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 11, there is a gap between the geometric center of the P-type buried layer 20 and the geometric center of the bottom of the trench.
[0137] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 6, the width of the P-type buried layer 20 is smaller than the width of the trench, i.e., L1 < L2; as shown in FIG. 7, the width of the P-type buried layer 20 is larger than the width of the trench, i.e., L3 > L4. As shown in FIG. 8, in a direction parallel to the plane of the substrate 11, there is a gap between the geometric center of the P-type buried layer 20 and the geometric center of the bottom of the trench. It can be understood that the geometric center of the P-type buried layer 20 is offset to the right by a certain distance based on the geometric center of the bottom of the trench.
[0138] In other words, the positional and dimensional relationships between the P-type buried layer 20 and the trench can be freely varied in the embodiments of the present invention, which indirectly reflects the structural diversity of the MOSFET device in the technical solution of this application. That is, the width of the P-type buried layer 20 can be equal to, wider than, or narrower than that of the trench, and this is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, the relative position of the P-type buried layer 20 and the trench can be varied, for example, shifted to the left or to the right.
[0139] The structure where the width of the P-type buried layer 20 is greater than the width of the trench can give the MOSFET device better gate oxide reliability; the structure where the width of the P-type buried layer 20 is less than the width of the trench can give the MOSFET device better conduction performance; the structure where the P-type buried layer 20 can be offset to the left or right relative to the trench position can give the MOSFET device structure greater process tolerance and simplify the process.
[0140] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5, the MOSFET device further includes a P-type ground layer 22.
[0141] The P-type grounding layer 22 is in contact with the P-type buried layer 20 and the P-type source region 18, respectively.
[0142] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the electrical connection between the P-type buried layer 20 and the P-type source region 18 can be achieved by setting a P-type ground layer 22 to contact both of them, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection between the P-type buried layer 20 and the P-type source region 18. In some structural designs, the MOSFET device may not require a P-type ground layer 22; it is sufficient to ensure an electrical connection between the P-type buried layer 20 and the P-type source region 18. The specific electrical connection method can be determined according to the actual situation.
[0143] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4-8, the MOSFET device further includes an N-type current diffusion region 21 located between the P-type well region 14 and the P-type buried layer 20. The N-type current diffusion region 21 has the same doping type as the N-type withstand voltage layer 12, and the doping concentration of the N-type current diffusion region 21 is greater than or equal to the doping concentration of the N-type withstand voltage layer 12.
[0144] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, when the doping concentration of the N-type current diffusion region 21 is equal to the doping concentration of the N-type withstand voltage layer 12, the function of the N-type current diffusion region 21 is the same as that of the N-type withstand voltage layer 12. When the doping concentration of the N-type current diffusion region 21 is greater than the doping concentration of the N-type withstand voltage layer 12, since the N-type current diffusion region 21 has a relatively high doping concentration, the width of the depletion region can be reduced, thereby increasing the current conduction path and enhancing the conduction capability of the MOSFET device.
[0145] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG9, FIG9 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a MOSFET device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The N-type current diffusion region 21 at least partially encloses the P-type buried layer 20.
[0146] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, when the doping concentration of the N-type current diffusion region 21 is greater than the doping concentration of the N-type withstand voltage layer 12, the design of the N-type current diffusion region 21 at least partially enclosing the P-type buried layer 20 can further enhance the conduction capability of the MOSFET device. As shown in Figure 9, the example of the N-type current diffusion region 21 fully enclosing the P-type buried layer 20 is illustrated.
[0147] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG10, FIG10 is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of another MOSFET device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG10a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and FIG10b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram; referring to FIG11, FIG11 is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of another MOSFET device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG11a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and FIG11b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram; referring to FIG12, FIG12 is a cross-sectional and top view schematic diagram of another MOSFET device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG12a is a corresponding cross-sectional schematic diagram, and FIG12b is a corresponding top view schematic diagram. The MOSFET device further includes: a P-type ground layer 22; the P-type ground layer 22 is in contact with the P-type buried layer 20 and the P-type source region 18 respectively; the N-type current diffusion region 21 is located at least between one sidewall of the trench and the P-type source region 18, or the N-type current diffusion region 21 is located on the side of the P-type ground layer 22 away from the substrate 11.
[0148] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 10, the P-type ground layer 22 is located on the left side and bottom of the trench, and the N-type current diffusion region 21 is located on the right side of the trench; as shown in Figure 11, the P-type ground layer 22 is located on the right side and bottom of the trench, and the N-type current diffusion region 21 is located on the left side of the trench; as shown in Figure 12, the P-type ground layer 22 is located at the bottom of the trench, and the N-type current diffusion region 21 is located on both the left and right sides of the trench; as shown in Figure 2, the N-type current diffusion region 21 is located on the side of the P-type ground layer 22 facing away from the substrate.
[0149] In this embodiment of the invention, the location and number of N-type current diffusion regions 21 can be flexibly adjusted. Locations with N-type current diffusion regions 21 have higher current density, while locations without N-type current diffusion regions 21 have lower current density, or even no current due to the presence of the P-type grounding layer 22. In this embodiment, the distribution of the N-type current diffusion regions 21 and the P-type grounding layer 22, and their proportion to the entire layout (the location and area ratio of layout openings), can be adjusted to control the current and heat distribution, thereby enhancing short-circuit, surge, and UIS avalanche withstand capabilities. Examples include one-sided conduction, two-sided conduction, and neither-sided conduction.
[0150] It should be noted that Figures 10-12 only illustrate the relative positional relationship between some of the N-type current diffusion region 21 and the P-type grounding layer 22.

[0181] Based on the above embodiments of the present invention, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for fabricating a MOSFET device. Referring to FIG66, FIG66 is a schematic flowchart of a method for fabricating a MOSFET device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method for fabricating a MOSFET device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0182] S101: Provide a substrate 11.
[0183] S102: An N-type pressure-resistant layer 12 is formed on one side of the substrate 11.
[0184] S103: A P-type well region 14, a source region, and a P-type buried layer 20 are formed within the N-type pressure-resistant layer 12.
[0185] S104: Forming a trench gate; the trench gate includes a trench and a gate 15 located within the trench, with a gate dielectric layer 16 between the gate 15 and the trench; the source region includes an N-type source region 17 and a P-type source region 18; the N-type source region 17 is located on the side of the P-type well region 14 away from the substrate 11, the P-type source region 18 is located on both sides of the trench, and the trench penetrates the N-type source region 17 and the P-type well region 14; the P-type buried layer 20 is located between the bottom of the trench and the substrate 11; and there is a gap between the P-type buried layer 20 and the bottom of the trench.
[0186] S105: Form source 19 and drain 13; the drain 13 is located on the side of the substrate 11 away from the N-type withstand layer 12, the source 19 is in contact with the N-type source region 17 and the P-type source region 18, and the P-type buried layer 20 is electrically connected to the source.
[0187] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, a functional film layer such as a P-type buried layer 20 is formed first, and then a trench gate is formed. This decouples the influence between the width of the trench and the width of the P-type buried layer 20, which can not only further reduce the width of the trench and the cell size of the MOSFET device to improve the conduction performance of the MOSFET device, but also make the MOSFET device have better process compatibility.
[0188] For example, assuming the trench width is 1µm, if ion implantation is performed in the trench, the width of the implanted P-type buried layer 20 cannot exceed 1µm. However, if ion implantation is performed on the plane before trench etching, the trench width does not need to be considered. The trench width does not affect the width of the P-type buried layer 20. In other words, the width of the P-type buried layer 20 and the trench width are not coupled and can be designed freely.
[0189] Conversely, if the design of a MOSFET device requires a P-type buried layer 20 width of at least 2µm, and a trench is formed first and then the P-type buried layer 20 is formed, then the trench width must be at least 2µm. However, using the fabrication method of this technology, the trench width can be reduced to only 1µm. Therefore, the size of the MOSFET device cell based on the width of this technology can be reduced by at least 1µm. More MOSFET device cells (or more conducting units) can be placed on the same area of chip, resulting in better conduction performance.
