Description
本發明是關於一種功率半導體元件,且特別是關於一種具有遮蔽電極的溝槽式功率半導體元件。 The present invention relates to a power semiconductor component, and more particularly to a trench type power semiconductor device having a shield electrode.
請參照圖1,顯示習知的溝槽式功率電晶體的剖面示意圖。在溝槽式功率電晶體1的結構中,兩個閘極130a、130b與遮蔽電極140並列設置於同一溝槽100h內,並通過氧化層131電性絕緣。在實際製作此種溝槽式功率電晶體1時,是通過熱氧化製程,將部份遮蔽電極140的表面以及溝槽100h的側壁面氧化,以分別形成隔離於遮蔽電極140與閘極電極130a、130b之間的氧化層131,以及閘極氧化層132。然而,以此種方式製備的氧化層131厚度偏低,而導致閘極電極130a、130b與遮蔽電極140之間的電容偏高。 Referring to FIG. 1, a cross-sectional view of a conventional trench power transistor is shown. In the structure of the trench power transistor 1, the two gates 130a, 130b and the shielding electrode 140 are juxtaposed in the same trench 100h, and are electrically insulated by the oxide layer 131. When the trench power transistor 1 is actually fabricated, the surface of the partial shielding electrode 140 and the sidewall surface of the trench 100h are oxidized by a thermal oxidation process to form an isolation between the shielding electrode 140 and the gate electrode 130a, respectively. An oxide layer 131 between 130b, and a gate oxide layer 132. However, the thickness of the oxide layer 131 prepared in this manner is low, resulting in a high capacitance between the gate electrodes 130a, 130b and the shield electrode 140.
另外,由於製程條件上的限制,越遠離溝槽100h表面,氧化層越不易形成。因此,氧化層131的底部較薄。如此,會導致在形成閘極電極130a、130b時,於底端靠近遮蔽電極140的一側形成尖端部130s。這會造成尖端效應,使得閘極電極130a、130b的耐壓下降。並且,在高溫時更容易劣化元件,而降低可靠度,影響溝槽式功率電晶體的元件壽命。 In addition, due to limitations in process conditions, the further away from the surface of the trench 100h, the less likely the oxide layer is formed. Therefore, the bottom of the oxide layer 131 is thin. Thus, when the gate electrodes 130a and 130b are formed, the tip end portion 130s is formed on the side closer to the shield electrode 140 at the bottom end. This causes a tip effect, causing the withstand voltage of the gate electrodes 130a, 130b to drop. Moreover, it is easier to deteriorate the components at high temperatures, which reduces reliability and affects the device life of the trench power transistor.
本發明提供一種溝槽式功率半導體元件,可避免在形成閘極電極時,於閘極電極的底端靠近遮蔽電極的一側產生尖端部。 The present invention provides a trench type power semiconductor device which can prevent a tip portion from being generated on a side of a gate electrode near a shield electrode when a gate electrode is formed.
本發明其中一實施例提供一種溝槽式功率半導體元件,包括基材、磊晶層以及溝槽閘極結構。磊晶層位於基材上,並具有至少一元件溝槽形成於其中。溝槽閘極結構位於元件溝槽中,且溝槽閘極結構包括第一介電層、第二介電層、閘極電極、第三介電層以及遮蔽電極。第一介電層設置於元件溝槽內,並具有與元件溝槽的一內壁面相符的輪廓,其中第一介電層具有第一上方內壁面及連接於第一上方內壁面的下方內壁面。第二介電層至少覆蓋下方內壁面,其中構成第二介電層的材料與構成第一介電層的材料不同。閘極電極設置於元件溝槽內,其中閘極電極包括覆蓋第一上方內壁面的第一導電層,且第一導電層的一端面連接於第二介電層的第一端面。第三介電層覆蓋第二介電層與第一導電層的內表面。遮蔽電極設置於元件溝槽內,其中第三介電層圍繞遮蔽電極,使遮蔽電極與閘極電極相互隔離。 One embodiment of the present invention provides a trench power semiconductor device including a substrate, an epitaxial layer, and a trench gate structure. The epitaxial layer is on the substrate and has at least one component trench formed therein. The trench gate structure is located in the trench of the element, and the trench gate structure comprises a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer, a gate electrode, a third dielectric layer, and a shielding electrode. The first dielectric layer is disposed in the trench of the element and has a contour conforming to an inner wall surface of the trench of the component, wherein the first dielectric layer has a first upper inner wall surface and a lower inner wall surface connected to the first upper inner wall surface . The second dielectric layer covers at least the lower inner wall surface, wherein the material constituting the second dielectric layer is different from the material constituting the first dielectric layer. The gate electrode is disposed in the trench of the device, wherein the gate electrode includes a first conductive layer covering the first upper inner wall surface, and one end surface of the first conductive layer is connected to the first end surface of the second dielectric layer. The third dielectric layer covers the second dielectric layer and the inner surface of the first conductive layer. The shielding electrode is disposed in the trench of the component, wherein the third dielectric layer surrounds the shielding electrode to isolate the shielding electrode from the gate electrode.
本發明另一實施例提供一種溝槽式功率半導體元件,包括基材、磊晶層以及終端電極結構。磊晶層位於基材上,並具有至少一終端溝槽形成於其中。終端電極結構位於終端溝槽內,且終端電極結構包括終端介電層、導電層以及終端電極。終端介電層具有和終端溝槽的一內壁面大致相符的輪廓,其中終端介電層具有依序堆疊於內壁面上的第一絕緣層、第二絕緣層及第三絕緣層,其中構成第二絕緣層的材料和構成第一絕緣層的材料不同,且第二絕緣層的一端面低於第一絕緣層與第三絕緣層的頂面,以在第一絕緣層、第二絕緣層與第三絕緣層之間定義出一凹陷區。導電層位於凹陷區內。終端電極位於終端溝槽內並通過第三絕緣層與導電層相互隔離。 Another embodiment of the present invention provides a trench type power semiconductor device including a substrate, an epitaxial layer, and a terminal electrode structure. The epitaxial layer is on the substrate and has at least one termination trench formed therein. The terminal electrode structure is located in the terminal trench, and the terminal electrode structure comprises a terminal dielectric layer, a conductive layer and a terminal electrode. The terminal dielectric layer has a contour substantially conforming to an inner wall surface of the terminal trench, wherein the terminal dielectric layer has a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer and a third insulating layer which are sequentially stacked on the inner wall surface, wherein the first dielectric layer The material of the second insulating layer is different from the material constituting the first insulating layer, and one end surface of the second insulating layer is lower than the top surfaces of the first insulating layer and the third insulating layer to be in the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer A recessed area is defined between the third insulating layers. The conductive layer is located in the recessed area. The terminal electrode is located in the terminal trench and is isolated from the conductive layer by the third insulating layer.
綜上所述,本發明之溝槽式功率半導體元件中,圍繞閘極電極以及遮蔽電極的絕緣層中具有由不同材料構成的第一、第二及第三介電層,可避免在形成閘極電極的製程中於靠近遮蔽電極的一側形成尖端部,因而可避免因尖端效應降低閘極電極的耐壓。 In summary, in the trench type power semiconductor device of the present invention, the first, second and third dielectric layers composed of different materials in the insulating layer surrounding the gate electrode and the shielding electrode can avoid forming a gate In the process of the electrode, a tip portion is formed on the side close to the shield electrode, thereby preventing the withstand voltage of the gate electrode from being lowered due to the tip effect.

請參照圖2。溝槽式功率半導體元件2包括基材20、磊晶層22、溝槽閘極結構23以及終端電極結構24。 Please refer to Figure 2. The trench power semiconductor device 2 includes a substrate 20, an epitaxial layer 22, a trench gate structure 23, and a termination electrode structure 24.
溝槽式功率半導體元件2可以是溝槽式功率電晶體或是具有蕭特基二極體的功率半導體元件。在圖2中,是以溝槽式功率電晶體的結構為例來進行說明。 The trench power semiconductor component 2 can be a trench power transistor or a power semiconductor component having a Schottky diode. In FIG. 2, the structure of the trench type power transistor will be described as an example.
在圖1中,基材20具有高濃度的第一型導電性雜質,以作為溝槽式功率半導體元件的汲極(drain)。前述的第一型導電性雜質可以是N型或P型導電性雜質。假設基材20為矽基材,N型導電性雜質為五價元素離子,例如磷離子或砷離子,而P型導電性雜質為三價元素離子,例如硼離子、鋁離子或鎵離子。 In FIG. 1, the substrate 20 has a high concentration of first type conductivity impurities to serve as a drain of the trench power semiconductor device. The aforementioned first type conductive impurities may be N-type or P-type conductive impurities. It is assumed that the substrate 20 is a ruthenium substrate, the N-type conductivity impurity is a pentavalent element ion such as a phosphorus ion or an arsenic ion, and the P-type conductivity impurity is a trivalent element ion such as a boron ion, an aluminum ion or a gallium ion.
若溝槽式功率半導體元件為N型,基材20摻雜N型導電性雜質。另一方面,若為P型溝槽式功率半導體元件,則基材20摻雜P型導電性雜質。本發明實施例中,是以N型溝槽式功率半導體元件為例說明。 If the trench power semiconductor device is N-type, the substrate 20 is doped with N-type conductive impurities. On the other hand, in the case of a P-type trench type power semiconductor device, the substrate 20 is doped with a P-type conductive impurity. In the embodiment of the present invention, an N-type trench power semiconductor device is taken as an example for description.
磊晶層(epitaxial layer)22位於基材20上,並具有和基材20相同的導電型,但磊晶層22的摻雜濃度低於基材20的摻雜濃度。以NMOS電晶體為例,基材20具有高濃度的N型摻雜(N+),而磊晶層22具有低濃度的N型摻雜(N-)。以PMOS電晶體為例,基材20與磊晶層22則分別具有高濃度的P型摻雜(P+ doping)以及低濃度的P型摻雜(P- doping)。 An epitaxial layer 22 is on the substrate 20 and has the same conductivity type as the substrate 20, but the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer 22 is lower than the doping concentration of the substrate 20. Taking an NMOS transistor as an example, the substrate 20 has a high concentration of N-type doping (N + ), and the epitaxial layer 22 has a low concentration of N-type doping (N - ). In PMOS transistor as an example, the substrate 20 and the P-type epitaxial layer 22 are doped with a high concentration (P + doping), and a low concentration of P-type dopant (P - doping).
在本實施例中,溝槽式功率半導體元件2還包括一設置於磊晶層22與基材20之間的緩衝層21。緩衝層21與基材20及磊晶層22具有相同的導電型。要特別說明的是,緩衝層21的摻雜濃度是介於基材20的摻雜濃度與磊晶層22的摻雜濃度之間。緩衝層21可以降低源極/汲極導通電阻(on-state source/drain resistance,Rdson),從而降低溝槽式功率半導體元件2的功率消耗。 In the present embodiment, the trench power semiconductor device 2 further includes a buffer layer 21 disposed between the epitaxial layer 22 and the substrate 20. The buffer layer 21 has the same conductivity type as the substrate 20 and the epitaxial layer 22. It is to be particularly noted that the doping concentration of the buffer layer 21 is between the doping concentration of the substrate 20 and the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer 22. The buffer layer 21 can reduce the on-state source/drain resistance (Rdson), thereby reducing the power consumption of the trench power semiconductor device 2.
另外,在圖2的實施例中,藉由在不同區域摻雜不同濃度及 不同類型的導電性雜質,磊晶層22可被區分為漂移區220(drift region)、基體區221(body region)及源極區222(source region)。基體區221與源極區222是形成於溝槽閘極結構23側邊的磊晶層22中,而漂移區220則位於磊晶層22中靠近基材20的一側。也就是說,基體區221與源極區222是形成於磊晶層22的上半部,漂移區220則形成於磊晶層22的下半部。 In addition, in the embodiment of FIG. 2, by doping different concentrations in different regions and Different types of conductive impurities, the epitaxial layer 22 can be divided into a drift region 220, a body region 221, and a source region 222. The base region 221 and the source region 222 are formed in the epitaxial layer 22 on the side of the trench gate structure 23, and the drift region 220 is located on the side of the epitaxial layer 22 adjacent to the substrate 20. That is, the base region 221 and the source region 222 are formed in the upper half of the epitaxial layer 22, and the drift region 220 is formed in the lower half of the epitaxial layer 22.
詳細而言,基體區221是藉由在磊晶層22中摻雜第二型導電性雜質而形成,而源極區222則是藉由在基體區221摻雜高濃度的第一型導電性雜質而形成,且源極區222是形成於基體區221的上半部。舉例而言,對NMOS電晶體而言,基體區221為P型摻雜(如P型井,P-well),而源極區222為N型摻雜。此外,基體區221的掺雜濃度小於源極區222的摻雜濃度。 In detail, the base region 221 is formed by doping the epitaxial layer 22 with a second type of conductive impurity, and the source region 222 is doped with a high concentration of the first conductivity in the base region 221 An impurity is formed, and the source region 222 is formed in the upper half of the base region 221. For example, for an NMOS transistor, the base region 221 is P-type doped (eg, P-well, P-well) and the source region 222 is N-doped. Further, the doping concentration of the base region 221 is smaller than the doping concentration of the source region 222.
另外,在本實施例中,磊晶層22被定義出一主動區域AR以及至少一與主動區域AR相鄰的終端區域TR。前述的基體區221與源極區222皆位於主動區域AR內。磊晶層22並具有至少一個位於主動區域AR中的元件溝槽220a,以及至少一個位於終端區域TR中的終端溝槽220b。 In addition, in the embodiment, the epitaxial layer 22 defines an active area AR and at least one terminal area TR adjacent to the active area AR. The aforementioned base region 221 and source region 222 are both located in the active region AR. The epitaxial layer 22 has at least one element trench 220a in the active region AR and at least one terminal trench 220b in the termination region TR.
要特別說明的是,元件溝槽220a具有深溝槽(deep trench)結構。也就是說,元件溝槽220a由磊晶層22表面向下延伸至至漂移區220中,並且元件溝槽220a的底部較靠近基材20。另外須說明的是,在本發明實施例中,是以基體區221的下緣為基準面,將元件溝槽220a大致區分為上半部及下半部。 It is to be particularly noted that the element trench 220a has a deep trench structure. That is, the element trench 220a extends downward from the surface of the epitaxial layer 22 into the drift region 220, and the bottom of the element trench 220a is closer to the substrate 20. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the element trench 220a is roughly divided into an upper half and a lower half with the lower edge of the base region 221 as a reference surface.
本發明實施例中,至少一個溝槽閘極結構23設置於對應的元件溝槽220a中。請參照圖2A,繪示圖2中的溝槽閘極結構23的局部剖面放大圖。如圖2A所示,溝槽閘極結構23具有遮蔽電極235、第一介電層231、第二介電層232、第三介電層233以及閘極電極234,其中第一介電層231、第二介電層232與第三介電層233依序堆疊形成於元件溝槽220a的內壁面,並用以使閘極電 極234與遮蔽電極235與磊晶層22隔離。前述的內壁面包括元件溝槽220a的兩側壁面及底面。 In the embodiment of the present invention, at least one trench gate structure 23 is disposed in the corresponding element trench 220a. Referring to FIG. 2A, a partial cross-sectional enlarged view of the trench gate structure 23 of FIG. 2 is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 2A, the trench gate structure 23 has a shielding electrode 235, a first dielectric layer 231, a second dielectric layer 232, a third dielectric layer 233, and a gate electrode 234, wherein the first dielectric layer 231 The second dielectric layer 232 and the third dielectric layer 233 are sequentially stacked on the inner wall surface of the element trench 220a, and are used to make the gate electrically The pole 234 and the shield electrode 235 are isolated from the epitaxial layer 22. The aforementioned inner wall surface includes both side wall surfaces and a bottom surface of the element groove 220a.
具體而言,第一介電層231順形地覆蓋元件溝槽220a的內壁面,並具有和元件溝槽220a的內壁面大致相符的輪廓。另外,第一介電層231具有第一上方內壁面231a、與第一上方內壁面231a相對的第二上方內壁面231c以及連接於第一上方內壁面231a與第二上方內壁面231c之間的下方內壁面231b。第二介電層232至少覆蓋第一介電層231的下方內壁面231b。 Specifically, the first dielectric layer 231 conforms to the inner wall surface of the element trench 220a and has a contour substantially conforming to the inner wall surface of the element trench 220a. In addition, the first dielectric layer 231 has a first upper inner wall surface 231a, a second upper inner wall surface 231c opposite to the first upper inner wall surface 231a, and a first upper inner wall surface 231a and a second upper inner wall surface 231c. Lower inner wall surface 231b. The second dielectric layer 232 covers at least the lower inner wall surface 231b of the first dielectric layer 231.
第一介電層231的厚度與第二介電層232的厚度可根據閘極電極234所欲承受的電壓以及閘極電極234的寬度來決定。舉例而言,若閘極電極234所欲承受的電壓介於20至25V,第一介電層231的厚度是介於25至60nm,第二介電層232的厚度則介於200至250nm之間。 The thickness of the first dielectric layer 231 and the thickness of the second dielectric layer 232 can be determined according to the voltage to which the gate electrode 234 is to be subjected and the width of the gate electrode 234. For example, if the voltage to be withstood by the gate electrode 234 is between 20 and 25 V, the thickness of the first dielectric layer 231 is between 25 and 60 nm, and the thickness of the second dielectric layer 232 is between 200 and 250 nm. between.
閘極電極234設置於元件溝槽220a內,並包括至少一第一導電層234a以及和第一導電層234a面對面設置的第二導電層234b。在其他實施例中,閘極電極234也可以只包括第一導電層234a或第二導電層234b。 The gate electrode 234 is disposed in the element trench 220a and includes at least a first conductive layer 234a and a second conductive layer 234b disposed to face the first conductive layer 234a. In other embodiments, the gate electrode 234 may also include only the first conductive layer 234a or the second conductive layer 234b.
第一導電層234a與第二導電層234b分別覆蓋第一上方內壁面231a以及第二上方內壁面231c。並且,第一導電層234a的底端連接於第二介電層232的第一端面232a,而第二導電層234b的底端則連接於第二介電層232的第二端面。此外,第一導電層234a與第二導電層234b皆通過第一介電層231和磊晶層22電性絕緣。 The first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b cover the first upper inner wall surface 231a and the second upper inner wall surface 231c, respectively. Moreover, the bottom end of the first conductive layer 234a is connected to the first end surface 232a of the second dielectric layer 232, and the bottom end of the second conductive layer 234b is connected to the second end surface of the second dielectric layer 232. In addition, the first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b are electrically insulated by the first dielectric layer 231 and the epitaxial layer 22.
在本實施例中,第一端面232a與第二端面232b會等於或低於基體區221的下方邊緣所在的平面。也就是說,第一導電層234a與第二導電層234b的底端所在的平面皆會低於基體區221的下方邊緣所在的平面。如此,當閘極電極234被施加偏壓時,可在靠近元件溝槽220a兩側壁面的基體區221內形成反轉通道 (inversion channel)。另外,在一實施例中,第一導電層234a的厚度與第二導電層234b的厚度會和第二介電層232的厚度大致相同。 In this embodiment, the first end surface 232a and the second end surface 232b may be equal to or lower than a plane in which the lower edge of the base region 221 is located. That is, the planes at which the bottom ends of the first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b are located may be lower than the plane in which the lower edge of the base region 221 is located. Thus, when the gate electrode 234 is biased, an inversion channel can be formed in the body region 221 near the side walls of the element trench 220a. (inversion channel). In addition, in an embodiment, the thickness of the first conductive layer 234a and the thickness of the second conductive layer 234b may be substantially the same as the thickness of the second dielectric layer 232.
第三介電層233順形地覆蓋於第一導電層234a、第二介電層232以及第二導電層234b的內表面。也就是說,第一導電層234a、第二導電層234b以及第二介電層232共同被夾設於第一介電層231與第三介電層233之間。 The third dielectric layer 233 is disposed to cover the inner surfaces of the first conductive layer 234a, the second dielectric layer 232, and the second conductive layer 234b. That is, the first conductive layer 234a, the second conductive layer 234b, and the second dielectric layer 232 are commonly sandwiched between the first dielectric layer 231 and the third dielectric layer 233.
在本實施例中,第二介電層232的材料與第一介電層231及第三介電層233的材料不同。如此,當利用選擇性蝕刻步驟去除第二介電層232時,第一介電層231與第三介電層233皆可被保留。然而,構成第一介電層231與構成第三介電層233的材料則不一定要相同。 In this embodiment, the material of the second dielectric layer 232 is different from the materials of the first dielectric layer 231 and the third dielectric layer 233. As such, when the second dielectric layer 232 is removed by the selective etching step, both the first dielectric layer 231 and the third dielectric layer 233 can be retained. However, the materials constituting the first dielectric layer 231 and the third dielectric layer 233 are not necessarily the same.
舉例而言,第一介電層231與第三介電層233可以是氧化物層,第二介電層232可以是氮化物層,其中氧化物層可以選擇氧化矽或者是氧化鋁、氧化鋯、氧化鉿或氧化釔等具有高介電常數的材料,氮化物層例如是氮化矽。然而,只要能達到上述效果,第一至第三介電層231~233所選用的材料並不限制。在本實施例中,第三介電層233的厚度是介於100至300nm之間。 For example, the first dielectric layer 231 and the third dielectric layer 233 may be an oxide layer, and the second dielectric layer 232 may be a nitride layer, wherein the oxide layer may be selected from cerium oxide or aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide. A material having a high dielectric constant such as cerium oxide or cerium oxide, and the nitride layer is, for example, tantalum nitride. However, as long as the above effects can be achieved, the materials selected for the first to third dielectric layers 231 to 233 are not limited. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the third dielectric layer 233 is between 100 and 300 nm.
遮蔽電極235位於元件溝槽220a內,並與第一導電層234a及第二導電層234b電性絕緣。 The shielding electrode 235 is located in the element trench 220a and is electrically insulated from the first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b.
詳細而言,遮蔽電極235是由元件溝槽220a的上半部延伸至元件溝槽220a的下半部,而第一導電層234a與第二導電層234b分別位於遮蔽電極235的兩相反側。如圖2A所示,遮蔽電極235中的一部分會和第一導電層234a以及第二導電層234b重疊設置,並通過第三介電層233的兩端部分別和第一導電層234a以及第二導電層234b電性絕緣。 In detail, the shielding electrode 235 is extended from the upper half of the element trench 220a to the lower half of the element trench 220a, and the first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b are respectively located on opposite sides of the shielding electrode 235. As shown in FIG. 2A, a portion of the shielding electrode 235 is disposed to overlap the first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b, and passes through both ends of the third dielectric layer 233 and the first conductive layer 234a and the second, respectively. The conductive layer 234b is electrically insulated.
須說明的是,元件溝槽220a具有深溝槽結構,有助於增加溝槽式功率半導體元件2的崩潰電壓,但會增加閘極/汲極的電容 (Cgd)以及源極/汲極導通電阻(Rdson)。據此,在本發明實施例中,於元件溝槽220a內設置遮蔽電極235可降低閘極/汲極的電容(Cgd),以減少工作損失。除此之外,遮蔽電極235可電性連接於源極,以使漂移區220達到電荷平衡(charge balance),而進一步提高崩潰電壓。因此,漂移區220的雜質摻雜濃度可相對地提高,以降低在漂移區220中的導通電阻。 It should be noted that the device trench 220a has a deep trench structure, which helps to increase the breakdown voltage of the trench power semiconductor device 2, but increases the gate/drain capacitance. (Cgd) and source/drain conduction resistance (Rdson). Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present invention, providing the shielding electrode 235 in the element trench 220a can reduce the gate/drain capacitance (Cgd) to reduce the operation loss. In addition, the shielding electrode 235 can be electrically connected to the source to bring the drift region 220 to charge balance, and further increase the breakdown voltage. Therefore, the impurity doping concentration of the drift region 220 can be relatively increased to lower the on-resistance in the drift region 220.
終端電極結構24位於終端溝槽220b內,且包括終端電極245、終端介電層240及導電層244,其中終端電極245是通過終端介電層240和導電層244及磊晶層22相互電性絕緣。 The terminal electrode structure 24 is located in the terminal trench 220b and includes a terminal electrode 245, a termination dielectric layer 240, and a conductive layer 244. The terminal electrode 245 is electrically connected to each other through the termination dielectric layer 240 and the conductive layer 244 and the epitaxial layer 22. insulation.
具體而言,終端電極245由終端溝槽220b的上半部延伸至下半部。終端介電層240順形地覆蓋於終端溝槽220b的一內壁面,並具有和終端溝槽220b的內壁面大致相符的輪廓。終端介電層240至少包括一第一絕緣層241、一第二絕緣層242及一第三絕緣層243。 Specifically, the terminal electrode 245 extends from the upper half of the terminal trench 220b to the lower half. The termination dielectric layer 240 is conformed to an inner wall surface of the terminal trench 220b and has a contour substantially conforming to the inner wall surface of the terminal trench 220b. The terminal dielectric layer 240 includes at least a first insulating layer 241, a second insulating layer 242, and a third insulating layer 243.
第一至第三絕緣層241~243依序堆疊於終端溝槽220b的內壁面上。也就是說,第二絕緣層242被夾設於第一與第三絕緣層241、243之間。在本實施例中,構成第二絕緣層242的材料和構成第一絕緣層241的材料不同。舉例而言,構成第一絕緣層241的材料例如是氧化矽,而構成第二絕緣層242的材料例如是氮化矽。 The first to third insulating layers 241 to 243 are sequentially stacked on the inner wall surface of the terminal trench 220b. That is, the second insulating layer 242 is interposed between the first and third insulating layers 241, 243. In the present embodiment, the material constituting the second insulating layer 242 is different from the material constituting the first insulating layer 241. For example, the material constituting the first insulating layer 241 is, for example, yttrium oxide, and the material constituting the second insulating layer 242 is, for example, tantalum nitride.
在本實施例中,第二絕緣層242具有一端面242e,且端面242e是低於第一絕緣層241的頂面及第三絕緣層243的頂面,以在第一至第三絕緣層241~243之間定義出一凹陷區246。由於構成第二絕緣層242的材料與第一及第三絕緣層241、243不同,因此凹陷區246可通過執行選擇性蝕刻來形成。另外,本實施例中,第二絕緣層242的端面242e會低於終端電極245的頂端所在的平面。 In the present embodiment, the second insulating layer 242 has an end surface 242e, and the end surface 242e is lower than the top surface of the first insulating layer 241 and the top surface of the third insulating layer 243 to the first to third insulating layers 241. A recessed area 246 is defined between ~243. Since the material constituting the second insulating layer 242 is different from the first and third insulating layers 241, 243, the recessed region 246 can be formed by performing selective etching. In addition, in this embodiment, the end surface 242e of the second insulating layer 242 is lower than the plane of the top end of the terminal electrode 245.
導電層244位於凹陷區246內,且導電層244的底端會和第 二絕緣層242的端面242e連接。整體而言,導電層244與終端電極245並列設置在終端溝槽220b內,且導電層244會和終端電極245的一部分相互重疊。另外,導電層244與終端電極245之間是通過第三絕緣層243彼此隔開。在一實施例中,導電層244會具有和第二絕緣層242大致相同的厚度。導電層244可電性連接至源極或閘極,並可和終端電極245配合以提高溝槽式功率半導體元件2的崩潰電壓。 The conductive layer 244 is located in the recessed region 246, and the bottom end of the conductive layer 244 is The end faces 242e of the two insulating layers 242 are connected. In general, the conductive layer 244 is disposed side by side with the terminal electrode 245 in the terminal trench 220b, and the conductive layer 244 overlaps with a portion of the terminal electrode 245. In addition, the conductive layer 244 and the terminal electrode 245 are separated from each other by the third insulating layer 243. In an embodiment, the conductive layer 244 will have substantially the same thickness as the second insulating layer 242. The conductive layer 244 may be electrically connected to the source or the gate and may cooperate with the terminal electrode 245 to increase the breakdown voltage of the trench power semiconductor device 2.
須說明的是,第一至第三絕緣層241~243可以分別和第一至第三介電層231~233的材料相同,且在同一沉積製程中形成,因此第一至第三絕緣層241~243的厚度可分別和第一至第三介電層231~233的厚度相同。 It should be noted that the first to third insulating layers 241-243 may be the same as the materials of the first to third dielectric layers 231 to 233, respectively, and formed in the same deposition process, and thus the first to third insulating layers 241 The thickness of ~243 may be the same as the thickness of the first to third dielectric layers 231 to 233, respectively.

層間介電層25形成於磊晶層22上,並具有一保護層251以及一平坦層252。在本實施例中,保護層251直接形成於磊晶層22表面上,並且保護層251的材料可和元件溝槽220a中的第一介電層231相同。也就是說,當第一介電層231為氧化物層時,保護層251也同樣是氧化物層。在這個情況下,保護層251與第一介電層231可在同一沉積製程中形成。詳細的製程步驟將於後文中描述,在此並不贅述。 The interlayer dielectric layer 25 is formed on the epitaxial layer 22 and has a protective layer 251 and a flat layer 252. In the present embodiment, the protective layer 251 is directly formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer 22, and the material of the protective layer 251 may be the same as the first dielectric layer 231 in the element trench 220a. That is, when the first dielectric layer 231 is an oxide layer, the protective layer 251 is also an oxide layer. In this case, the protective layer 251 and the first dielectric layer 231 can be formed in the same deposition process. The detailed process steps will be described later and will not be described here.

In the present embodiment, the source contact window 250 extends from the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 25 to a portion of the epitaxial layer 22 and is formed on one side of the source region 222. Moreover, the epitaxial layer 22 further includes a contact doping region 223, and the contact doping region 223 is located directly below the bottom of the source contact window 250. In one embodiment, boron fluoride ions (BF 2+ ) are implanted in the epitaxial layer 22 through the source contact window 250 to form a contact doped region 223.
然而,源極接觸窗250的位置可依據元件的設計而改變,並不限於本發明之實施例。在其他實施例中,源極接觸窗250也可以直接對應於源極區222的位置,而形成於源極區222正上方。 However, the position of the source contact window 250 may vary depending on the design of the element, and is not limited to the embodiment of the present invention. In other embodiments, the source contact window 250 may also directly correspond to the location of the source region 222 and be formed directly above the source region 222.
源極導電插塞26形成於源極接觸窗250內,以電性連接於源極區222。具體而言,源極導電插塞26形成於源極接觸窗250內,並直接接觸位於磊晶層22中的源極區222以及接觸摻雜區223,藉此在源極導電插塞26與源極區222之間形成歐姆接觸(ohmic contact)。構成源極導電插塞26的材料可以是金屬,例如,但不限於是,鎢、銅、鎳或鋁。 A source conductive plug 26 is formed in the source contact window 250 to be electrically connected to the source region 222. Specifically, the source conductive plug 26 is formed in the source contact window 250 and directly contacts the source region 222 and the contact doping region 223 located in the epitaxial layer 22, whereby the source conductive plug 26 is An ohmic contact is formed between the source regions 222. The material constituting the source conductive plug 26 may be a metal such as, but not limited to, tungsten, copper, nickel or aluminum.
源極接墊27覆蓋於平坦層252上,並通過穿設於層間介電層25的源極導電插塞26電性連接於源極區222。也就是說,源極接墊27可作為溝槽式功率半導體元件2的源極電極,並用以電性連接至一外部控制線路。源極接墊27之材質可為鈦(Ti)、氮化鈦(TiN)、鎢(W)、鋁矽合金(Al-Si)或鋁矽銅合金(Al-Si-Cu)等,但本發明並不限制於此。 The source pad 27 covers the planar layer 252 and is electrically connected to the source region 222 through a source conductive plug 26 that is disposed through the interlayer dielectric layer 25. That is, the source pad 27 can serve as the source electrode of the trench power semiconductor device 2 and is electrically connected to an external control circuit. The material of the source pad 27 may be titanium (Ti), titanium nitride (TiN), tungsten (W), aluminum-bismuth alloy (Al-Si) or aluminum beryllium copper alloy (Al-Si-Cu), etc., but The invention is not limited thereto.

請參照圖2B,詳細而言,在溝槽式功率半導體元件2’中,磊晶層22內並未形成基體區以及源極區。另外,溝槽式功率半導體元件2’具有一位於磊晶層22上的層間介電層25’、導電插塞29以及位於層間介電層25’上的接觸墊27’。 Referring to Fig. 2B, in detail, in the trench type power semiconductor device 2', the base region and the source region are not formed in the epitaxial layer 22. Further, the trench power semiconductor device 2' has an interlayer dielectric layer 25' on the epitaxial layer 22, a conductive plug 29, and a contact pad 27' on the interlayer dielectric layer 25'.

And extending into the epitaxial layer 22, and located in the trench The epitaxial layer 22 between 220a is in electrical contact.
因此,本發明實施例所提供的溝槽閘極結構23以及終端電極結構24並不限於應用在功率電晶體元件中。 Therefore, the trench gate structure 23 and the terminal electrode structure 24 provided by the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to application in a power transistor element.
以下將進一步說明本實施例的溝槽式功率半導體元件2的製造方法。 The method of manufacturing the trench power semiconductor device 2 of the present embodiment will be further described below.
如圖3A所示,基材20上已形成緩衝層21及磊晶層22。 As shown in FIG. 3A, a buffer layer 21 and an epitaxial layer 22 have been formed on the substrate 20.
磊晶層22被定義出一主動區域AR及一終端區域TR。此外,至少一位於主動區域AR的元件溝槽220a與至少一位於終端區域的終端溝槽220b已經形成於磊晶層22中。在一實施例中,元件溝槽220a與終端溝槽220b的深度大約介於2至6μm之間。 The epitaxial layer 22 defines an active area AR and a termination area TR. Further, at least one of the element trenches 220a located in the active region AR and at least one of the terminal trenches 220b located in the termination region have been formed in the epitaxial layer 22. In an embodiment, the depth of the element trench 220a and the termination trench 220b is between about 2 and 6 μm.
並且,在元件溝槽220a的內壁面上,已經依序形成第一介電層231、第二介電材料層232’及第三介電層233。在終端溝槽220b的內壁面上,則已形成第一絕緣層241、第二絕緣材料層242’及第三絕緣層243。 Further, on the inner wall surface of the element trench 220a, the first dielectric layer 231, the second dielectric material layer 232', and the third dielectric layer 233 are sequentially formed. On the inner wall surface of the terminal trench 220b, the first insulating layer 241, the second insulating material layer 242', and the third insulating layer 243 are formed.
在本實施例中,構成第二介電材料層232’的材料會與第一及第三介電層231、233不同,但第一介電層231和第三介電層233的材料選用則沒有特別的限制。詳細而言,只要能在後續的選擇性蝕刻步驟中,在去除第二介電材料層232’的同時保留第一介電層231和第三介電層233即可。相似地,構成第二絕緣材料層242’的材料也會和第一介電層231及第三介電層233不同。 In this embodiment, the material constituting the second dielectric material layer 232' may be different from the first and third dielectric layers 231, 233, but the materials of the first dielectric layer 231 and the third dielectric layer 233 are selected. There are no special restrictions. In detail, as long as the first dielectric layer 231 and the third dielectric layer 233 are left in the subsequent selective etching step, the second dielectric material layer 232' is removed. Similarly, the material constituting the second insulating material layer 242' may be different from the first dielectric layer 231 and the third dielectric layer 233.
在磊晶層22的表面已經形成一保護層251,保護層215、第一介電層231與第一絕緣層241可利用物理氣相沉積或化學氣相沉積製程同步地形成。舉例而言,第一介電層231與第一絕緣層241可皆為氧化矽(SiOx),並利用熱氧化製程來形成。 A protective layer 251 has been formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer 22. The protective layer 215, the first dielectric layer 231 and the first insulating layer 241 can be formed synchronously by physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition processes. For example, the first dielectric layer 231 and the first insulating layer 241 may both be yttrium oxide (SiOx) and formed by a thermal oxidation process.
相似地,第二介電材料層232’及第二絕緣材料層242’也可以在同一製程中形成。當第一介電層231與第一絕緣層241為氧化矽時,第二介電材料層232’及第二絕緣材料層242’可以選擇氮化物,例如氮化矽。第三介電層233及第三絕緣層243可以是氧化 矽(SiO2)。 Similarly, the second dielectric material layer 232' and the second insulating material layer 242' may also be formed in the same process. When the first dielectric layer 231 and the first insulating layer 241 are yttrium oxide, the second dielectric material layer 232' and the second insulating material layer 242' may be selected from a nitride such as tantalum nitride. The third dielectric layer 233 and the third insulating layer 243 may be yttrium oxide (SiO 2 ).
在圖3A中,遮蔽電極235和終端電極245也已分別形成於元件溝槽220a及終端溝槽220b內。詳細而言,先毯覆式地形成一多晶矽層於磊晶層22上,並填入元件溝槽220a與終端溝槽220b中。多晶矽層可以是含導電性雜質的多晶矽結構(doped poly-Si)。接著,回蝕(etch back)去除磊晶層22表面上所覆蓋的多晶矽層,而分別留下位於元件溝槽220a的遮蔽電極235與終端溝槽220b內的終端電極245。 In FIG. 3A, the shield electrode 235 and the terminal electrode 245 are also formed in the element trench 220a and the termination trench 220b, respectively. In detail, a polysilicon layer is formed on the epitaxial layer 22 in a blanket manner and filled in the element trench 220a and the terminal trench 220b. The polysilicon layer may be a doped poly-Si containing conductive impurities. Next, the polysilicon layer covered on the surface of the epitaxial layer 22 is removed by etch back, leaving the terminal electrode 245 located in the shield electrode 235 of the element trench 220a and the termination trench 220b, respectively.
接著,請參照圖3B,形成一光阻層28於磊晶層22上,並覆蓋終端區域TR。光阻層28具有一開口280,以暴露出主動區域AR以及一部分位於終端溝槽220b內且最靠近主動區域AR一側的第二絕緣材料層242’。另外,在本實施例中,光阻層28會覆蓋終端溝槽220b內的終端電極245。 Next, referring to FIG. 3B, a photoresist layer 28 is formed on the epitaxial layer 22 and covers the termination region TR. The photoresist layer 28 has an opening 280 to expose the active region AR and a portion of the second insulating material layer 242' located within the terminal trench 220b and closest to the active region AR side. In addition, in the present embodiment, the photoresist layer 28 covers the terminal electrode 245 in the termination trench 220b.
接著,請參照圖3C,通過光阻層28的開口280,執行一選擇性蝕刻步驟,以去除部分位於元件溝槽220a上半部的第二介電材料層232’以及部分位於終端溝槽220b上半部的第二絕緣材料層242’,而形成如圖2所示的第二介電層232以及第二絕緣層242。 Next, referring to FIG. 3C, a selective etching step is performed through the opening 280 of the photoresist layer 28 to remove the second dielectric material layer 232' partially located in the upper half of the element trench 220a and partially located in the termination trench 220b. The second insulating material layer 242' of the upper half forms a second dielectric layer 232 and a second insulating layer 242 as shown in FIG.
選擇性蝕刻步驟可以是濕蝕刻,可利用對第二介電材料層232’與第二絕緣材料層242’選擇性高,但對第一及第三介電層231、233與第一絕緣層241選擇性低的化學溶液來進行蝕刻。因此,可以在去除部分第二介電材料層232’與部分第二絕緣材料層242’時,保留第一及第三介電層231、233以及第一絕緣層241。 The selective etching step may be wet etching, and may be selective to the second dielectric material layer 232' and the second insulating material layer 242', but to the first and third dielectric layers 231, 233 and the first insulating layer. 241 is selectively etched with a low selectivity chemical solution. Therefore, the first and third dielectric layers 231, 233 and the first insulating layer 241 may be left when a portion of the second dielectric material layer 232' and a portion of the second insulating material layer 242' are removed.
如圖3C所示,在完成選擇性蝕刻步驟之後,在元件溝槽220a形成至少一個第一凹陷區236,而在終端溝槽220b內形成凹陷區246。換句話說,已形成於元件溝槽220a內的第一及第三介電層231、233,以及終端溝槽220b內的第一絕緣層241可做為蝕刻罩冪,以分別在元件溝槽220a中定義出第一凹陷區236及在終端溝槽220b內定義出凹陷區246的位置以及形狀。 As shown in FIG. 3C, after the selective etching step is completed, at least one first recessed region 236 is formed in the element trench 220a, and a recessed region 246 is formed in the terminal trench 220b. In other words, the first and third dielectric layers 231, 233 formed in the device trench 220a, and the first insulating layer 241 in the termination trench 220b can be used as an etch mask power to respectively be in the device trench The first recessed region 236 is defined in 220a and the location and shape of the recessed region 246 is defined in the terminal trench 220b.
請繼續參照圖3D,在去除光阻層28之後,在元件溝槽220a內形成第一導電層234a以及第二導電層234b,以及在終端溝槽220b內形成導電層244。在一實施例中,先毯覆式地形成一多晶矽層於磊晶層22表面,並填入第一凹陷區236與凹陷區246內,再回蝕去除位於磊晶層22表面的多晶矽層,而留下位於第一凹陷區236與凹陷區246內的多晶矽層,而分別於元件溝槽220a中形成第一導電層234a以及第二導電層234b,在終端溝槽220b中形成導電層244。第一導電層234a與第二導電層234b即為圖2所示的溝槽式功率半導體元件2的閘極電極234。 Referring to FIG. 3D, after the photoresist layer 28 is removed, the first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b are formed in the element trench 220a, and the conductive layer 244 is formed in the termination trench 220b. In one embodiment, a polysilicon layer is formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer 22 and filled in the first recessed region 236 and the recessed region 246, and then etched back to remove the polycrystalline germanium layer on the surface of the epitaxial layer 22. The polysilicon layer in the first recessed region 236 and the recessed region 246 is left, and the first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b are formed in the element trench 220a, respectively, and the conductive layer 244 is formed in the terminal trench 220b. The first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer 234b are the gate electrodes 234 of the trench power semiconductor device 2 shown in FIG.
在圖3C中,經由選擇性蝕刻步驟形成第一凹陷區236與凹陷區246,可預先在元件溝槽220a及終端溝槽220b內定義出閘極電極234(包含第一導電層234a與第二導電層234b)以及導電層244的位置與形狀。 In FIG. 3C, the first recess region 236 and the recess region 246 are formed through a selective etching step, and the gate electrode 234 (including the first conductive layer 234a and the second layer) may be defined in the element trench 220a and the termination trench 220b in advance. Conductive layer 234b) and the location and shape of conductive layer 244.
須說明的是,在本發明實施例中,第三介電層233或第三絕緣層243並不是通過熱氧化製程,將遮蔽電極235或終端電極245的表面氧化而形成的,因此相較於習知技術,第三介電層233與第三絕緣層243的厚度均勻性(thickness uniformity)較佳。 It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third dielectric layer 233 or the third insulating layer 243 is not formed by oxidizing the surface of the shielding electrode 235 or the terminal electrode 245 by a thermal oxidation process, and thus is compared with Conventionally, the thickness uniformity of the third dielectric layer 233 and the third insulating layer 243 is preferred.
另外,元件溝槽220a的寬度通常很窄,若不形成第二介電材料層232’,即便使用光阻也很難在同一元件溝槽220a內準確定義出兩個第一凹陷區236的位置及形狀。 In addition, the width of the element trench 220a is generally narrow. If the second dielectric material layer 232' is not formed, it is difficult to accurately define the positions of the two first recess regions 236 in the same element trench 220a even if photoresist is used. And shape.
相較之下,本發明實施例所提供的製程方法,不需要在元件溝槽220a上覆蓋光阻,就可在同一元件溝槽220a內定義出兩個第一凹陷區236。並且,在進行選擇性蝕刻的過程中,第一及第三介電層231、233不會被側向蝕刻,因此後續形成於第一凹陷區236內的第一導電層234a(或第二導電層234b)可通過第三介電層233與遮蔽電極235之間維持電性絕緣,也可通過第一介電層231和磊晶層22電性絕緣。 In contrast, the process method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can define two first recess regions 236 in the same component trench 220a without covering the photoresist on the component trench 220a. Moreover, during the selective etching process, the first and third dielectric layers 231, 233 are not laterally etched, so the first conductive layer 234a (or the second conductive) subsequently formed in the first recessed region 236 is formed. The layer 234 b ) can be electrically insulated from the shielding electrode 235 through the third dielectric layer 233 , and can also be electrically insulated by the first dielectric layer 231 and the epitaxial layer 22 .
因此,在形成導電層244、第一導電層234a與第二導電層 234b的製程中,第一導電層234a與第二導電層234b的底端靠近遮蔽電極235的一側不會產生尖端部,可避免尖端效應影響元件的電性及提高閘極電極234的耐壓。除此之外,第三介電層233的厚度也較厚,約介於100至300nm之間,可降低閘極與遮蔽電極(電性連接至源極)之間的電容,從而可提高溝槽式功率半導體元件的切換速率。 Therefore, the conductive layer 244, the first conductive layer 234a and the second conductive layer are formed In the process of 234b, the side of the first conductive layer 234a and the bottom end of the second conductive layer 234b adjacent to the shielding electrode 235 does not generate a tip end portion, which can prevent the tip effect from affecting the electrical properties of the device and improve the withstand voltage of the gate electrode 234. . In addition, the thickness of the third dielectric layer 233 is also relatively thick, about 100 to 300 nm, which can reduce the capacitance between the gate and the shielding electrode (electrically connected to the source), thereby improving the trench. Switching rate of slotted power semiconductor components.
請參照圖3E,執行一基體摻雜製程與一源極摻雜製程,以在磊晶層22遠離基材20的一側形成源極區222與基體區221,其中源極區222位於基體區221的上方。要說明的是,源極摻雜製程可包括在進行離子佈植之後,再進行一熱擴散製程。另外,由圖3E可看出,本實施例中的基體區221的最低邊緣所在的平面會高於第二介電層232的第一端面232a以及第二端面232b。 Referring to FIG. 3E, a substrate doping process and a source doping process are performed to form a source region 222 and a base region 221 on a side of the epitaxial layer 22 away from the substrate 20, wherein the source region 222 is located in the base region. Above the 221. It should be noted that the source doping process may include performing a thermal diffusion process after ion implantation. In addition, as can be seen from FIG. 3E, the plane of the lowest edge of the base region 221 in this embodiment is higher than the first end surface 232a and the second end surface 232b of the second dielectric layer 232.
接著,形成線路重佈層於磊晶層22上,以使源極區222、閘極電極234與遮蔽電極235可電性連接至外部的控制電路。以下將以形成圖2所示的源極接觸插塞為例,說明線路重佈層的具體步驟。首先,可形成一全面地覆蓋保護層251、溝槽閘極結構23以及終端電極結構24的平坦層252。構成平坦層252的材料可以選擇硼磷矽玻璃(BPSG),磷矽玻璃(PSG)、氧化物、氮化物或其組合。 Next, a line redistribution layer is formed on the epitaxial layer 22 to electrically connect the source region 222, the gate electrode 234 and the shielding electrode 235 to an external control circuit. The specific steps of the circuit redistribution layer will be described below by taking the source contact plug shown in FIG. 2 as an example. First, a planar layer 252 that completely covers the protective layer 251, the trench gate structure 23, and the terminal electrode structure 24 can be formed. The material constituting the flat layer 252 may be selected from the group consisting of borophosphoquinone glass (BPSG), phosphorous bismuth glass (PSG), oxide, nitride, or a combination thereof.
隨後,對應於源極區222的位置,形成至少一個源極接觸窗250(圖3E中繪示3個為例)。在本實施例中。形成源極接觸窗250的技術手段可採用習知的塗佈光阻、微影、蝕刻等步驟來實現。接著,形成源極導電插塞26於對應的源極接觸窗250內。源極導電插塞26貫穿平坦層252與保護層251之後,延伸至磊晶層22內,並位於源極區222的其中一側,以和源極區222電性連接。在形成源極導電插塞26於對應的源極接觸窗250之前,可先通過源極接觸窗250對磊晶層22進行一摻雜製程,以在源極接觸窗250下方的磊晶層22中形成一接觸摻雜區223。在一實施例中, 接觸摻雜區223所摻雜的雜質為二氟化硼離子(BF2+)。 Subsequently, corresponding to the position of the source region 222, at least one source contact window 250 is formed (three are illustrated in FIG. 3E as an example). In this embodiment. The technical means for forming the source contact window 250 can be implemented by conventional steps such as coating photoresist, lithography, etching, and the like. Next, a source conductive plug 26 is formed within the corresponding source contact window 250. The source conductive plug 26 extends through the flat layer 252 and the protective layer 251 , extends into the epitaxial layer 22 , and is located on one side of the source region 222 to be electrically connected to the source region 222 .

另外,要特別說明的是,去除部分位於元件溝槽520a內的第二介電材料層532’之後,可在第一介電層531與極間介電層536的兩相反側壁面之間分別形成兩個凹陷區。 In addition, it is specifically noted that after removing a portion of the second dielectric material layer 532' located in the device trench 520a, respectively, between the opposite sidewall faces of the first dielectric layer 531 and the inter-electrode dielectric layer 536. Two recessed areas are formed.
接著,如圖8C所示,在閘極預設空間438內填入多晶矽結構,以形成閘極電極534。接著,再依序形成基體區521、源極區 522以及線路重分布層。形成基體區521、源極區522以及線路重分布層的詳細步驟可參照前一實施例的敘述,在此不再贅述。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8C, a polysilicon structure is filled in the gate pre-set space 438 to form a gate electrode 534. Then, the base region 521 and the source region are sequentially formed. 522 and the line redistribution layer. For detailed steps of forming the base region 521, the source region 522, and the line redistribution layer, refer to the description of the previous embodiment, and details are not described herein again.
綜上所述,本發明之溝槽式功率半導體元件中,圍繞遮蔽電極的絕緣層中具有由不同材料構成的第一、第二及第三介電層,而閘極電極被夾設於第一、第二及第三介電層之間。 In summary, in the trench power semiconductor device of the present invention, the insulating layer surrounding the shielding electrode has first, second, and third dielectric layers made of different materials, and the gate electrode is sandwiched between 1. Between the second and third dielectric layers.
在溝槽閘極結構的製程中,可以通過選擇性蝕刻步驟預先定義出閘極電極在元件溝槽內的形狀與位置,進而可避免在第一導電層與第二導電層靠近遮蔽電極的一側形成尖端部。因此,本發明實施例所提供的溝槽式功率半導體元件可避免因尖端效應降低閘極電極的耐壓。 In the process of the trench gate structure, the shape and position of the gate electrode in the trench of the device can be predefined by a selective etching step, thereby avoiding the proximity of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer to the shielding electrode. The side forms a tip end. Therefore, the trench power semiconductor device provided by the embodiment of the present invention can avoid reducing the withstand voltage of the gate electrode due to the tip effect.
另外,閘極電極與遮蔽電極之間是通過第三介電層來相互隔離。相較於先前技術,本發明中可在閘極電極與遮蔽電極之間形成較厚的第三介電層,以降低閘極與源極之間的電容。 In addition, the gate electrode and the shielding electrode are separated from each other by a third dielectric layer. Compared with the prior art, in the present invention, a thick third dielectric layer can be formed between the gate electrode and the shielding electrode to reduce the capacitance between the gate and the source.
