Description

溝槽式閘極功率金氧半場效電晶體之結構
本發明係關於一種溝槽式閘極功率金氧半場效電晶體(U-metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor以下簡稱:UMOSFET)。
碳化矽(silicon carbide,SiC)由矽和碳原子的交替平面的六方晶格之結晶組成,具有比矽較寬的能帶和高得多的擊穿電場(critical electric field),故碳化矽元件的崩潰電壓(breakdown voltage)比矽元件好得多。此外,一般碳化矽同時具有較低的電洞濃度以及較短的少數載子生命週期(minority carrier lifetimes),而較短的少數載子生命週期允許碳化矽中的雙極裝置(bipolar devices)比可比矽更快地切換,然而不能有效改善碳化矽雙極晶體管的導通電阻,同時操作上需要驅動電流是其缺點。相較之下碳化矽金氧半場效電晶體具有電壓驅動且高頻操作的優點。
請參考第1圖,第1圖顯示習知技術UMOSFET結構100示意圖,結構100包含金屬層101S與101D、N型半導體基板102、N型漂移區(N-drift region)103、P型井(P-well)105、N型半導體層106、P型半導體層107、溝槽T、絕緣層I、閘極109。由於習知技術1的結構100設計缺陷,擊穿電場會在結構100之轉角B產生,故轉角B(如圓形虛線處所示)之絕緣層I在關斷偏壓狀態(off-state)時容易被擊穿電場所破壞;除此之外,第1圖之結構100之閘極/汲極電容Cgd如粗體虛線範圍所示。
請參考第2圖,第2圖顯示習知技術2之UMOSFET結構200示意圖,結構200包含金屬層201S與201D、N型半導體基板202、N型漂移區203、N型電流分散層(N-current spread layer,N-CSL)204、P型井205、N型半導體層206、P型半導體層207、溝槽T、絕緣層I、閘極209、半導體保護層210。雖然結構200利用半導體保護層210來改善第1圖之轉角B在關斷偏壓時容易被擊穿電場所破壞的缺點,但結構200由於閘極端與汲極端之電容值較大,故在切換順向導通(conducting)與阻絕關斷(blocking)狀態時,需要較多的時間進行充放電;再者,其閘極/汲極電容Cgd如粗體虛線範圍所示,其範圍在閘極209深入N型電流分散層204之部份。
本發明之目的之一,是在提供一種UMOSFET結構具有半導體保護層,係可用以保護UMOSFET結構免於被擊穿電場所破壞。
本發明之目的之是在提供一種UMOSFET結構 具有電流分散層,可降低UMOSFET結構之電阻值。
本發明之目的之一,是在提供一種UMOSFET結構具有閘極與分離閘極,用以減少UMOSFET結構之電容值,使元件在阻絕關斷與順向導通狀態之間可以快速切換。
本發明提供一種UMOSFET之結構,結構包含:一金屬層分別設置於結構之一上表面與一底面,以分別形成一源極與一汲極,以做為結構與外界連結之電極;一N型半導體基板,設置於汲極上;一N型漂移區(N-drift region),設置於N型半導體基板上;一N型電流分散層(N-current spread layer,N-CSL),設置於N型漂移區上;一P型井(P-well),設置於電流分散層上;一N型半導體層,設置於P型井上;一第一P型半導體層,相鄰於N型半導體層並設置於P型井上;一溝槽延伸通過N型半導體層、P型井以及N型電流分散層,溝槽之底部終止於N型漂移區;一絕緣層設置於溝槽內;一分離閘極(split gate)設置於溝槽之絕緣層中並被該絕緣層所包覆;一閘極設置於溝槽之絕緣層中且在分離閘極之上;以及一半導體保護層,設置於溝槽之底部以下,並相鄰於N型漂移區,且絕緣層設置於半導體保護層之上,用以在結構關斷偏壓時,保護絕緣層避免被電場所擊穿;其中,閘極與分離閘極係被絕緣層所區隔出一預設間距;以及,閘極之底部深度位置係深於該P型井與該N型電流分散層之交界面。

請參閱第3A圖,第3A圖顯示本發明UMOSFET結構一實施例之側剖面示意圖,結構300在一實施例中為使用於碳化矽的UMOSFET之結構。
結構300A包含:金屬層301S與301D、N型半導體基板302、N型漂移區(N-drift region)303、N型電流分散層(N-current spread layer,N-CSL)304、P型井(P-well)305、N型半導體層306、P型半導體層307、溝槽T、絕緣層I、分離閘極(split gate)308、閘極309、半導體保護層310。
金屬層301S與301D分別設置於結構300之上表面與底面分別形成一源極與一汲極,以做為結構300與外界連結之電極;N型半導體基板302設置於汲極D上;N型漂移區303設置於N型半導體基板302上;N型電流分散層304設置於N型漂移區303上;P型井305設置於N型電流分散層304上;一N型半導體層306設置於P型井305上;P型半導體層307相鄰於N型半導體層306並設置於P型井305上;溝槽T向下延伸通過N型半導體層306、P型井305、以及N型電流分散層304,最終溝槽T之底部終止於N型漂移區303。
請注意,在本實施例中,溝槽T之底部以下係離子佈值形成半導體保護層310,且半導體保護層310相鄰於N型漂移區303,在本實施例中,分離閘極308之底面係接觸半導體保護層310上緣,半導體保護層310用以在結構300關斷偏壓時,保護絕緣層I避免被擊穿電場所破壞。另外,半導體保護層310 與分離閘極308係接地,避免半導體保護層310與分離閘極308漏電流產生。
請注意,半導體保護層310在一實施例中為一P型半導體層,半導體保護層310與分離閘極308係接地,由於半導體保護層310與分離閘極308等電位可避免半導體保護層310與分離閘極308漏電流產生。
半導體保護層310用以在結構300關斷偏壓時,保護絕緣層I避免被擊穿電場所破壞。絕緣層I設置於溝槽T之內,且分別相鄰於N型半導體層306、P型井305、N型電流分散層304、N型漂移區303、以及半導體保護層310。分離閘極308設置於溝槽之絕緣層I中,以及閘極309設置於溝槽T之絕緣層中且在分離閘極308之上;其中,閘極309與分離閘極308係被絕緣層I所區隔出一預設間距d;以及,閘極309之底部深度位置係深於P型井305與N型電流分散層304之交界面。在一實施例中,閘極309與分離閘極308可視為被絕緣層I所包覆。其中,絕緣層I為一半導體氧化物或半導體氮化物,分離閘極308與閘極309為一多晶矽(poly-Si)所實現。
接著請參閱第3B圖,第3B圖顯示本發明UMOSFET結構一實施例之側剖面示意圖,結構300B在一實施例中為使用於碳化矽的UMOSFET之結構。
同前所述,結構300B與300A之差異在於,絕緣層I設置於半導體保護層310之上,分離閘極308之底面係與該 半導體保護層310之間具有絕緣層I,意即,分離閘極308之底面係不接觸半導體保護層310上緣。
在本實施例中,N型半導體基板302、N型漂移區303、N型電流分散層304與N型半導體層306中摻雜之一N型半導體且濃度大小為:N型漂移區303<N型電流分散層304;由於,結構300在關斷偏壓時,會在N型漂移區303與N型電流分散層304產生空乏區(Depletion region),除此之外N型漂移區303為耐高壓元件,故N型漂移區303之N型半導體濃度為最低。
當結構300處於導通偏壓時,此時源極S接地,汲極D接正電壓,閘極309也接正電壓,電子流由N型半導體層306流向汲極D,並透過N型電流分散層304使電流均勻分散,換言之,N型電流分散層304使電流流量增加,並降低結構300的電阻值。
在此請注意,煩請同時參考第3C圖與第3D圖,第3C圖顯示本實施例之結構開啟切換特性圖,第3D圖顯示本實施例之結構關閉切換特性圖。由圖可以了解,除了閘極309與分離閘極308之間的電容值小於閘極309與N型電流分散層304之間的電容值;本結構300之電容值較習知技術比較,其電容值僅有閘極309超過P型井305與N型電流分散層304之部份,故結構300利用絕緣層I區隔閘極309與分離閘極308之方式,使結構300使用之電容值遠小於習知技術。如此一來,結構300 在順向導通與阻絕關斷切換時,其電容充電或放電速度會比習知技術來得快,此部份在第3C圖與第3D圖可以證明本發明之結構充放電速度均優於習知技術。
再者,由於分離閘極308為金屬層因接地隔絕閘極309與分離閘極308之間的閘極/汲極電容Cgd產生,故本發明的閘極/汲極電容Cgd僅有虛框處,遠小於先前技術。又因習知技術2之結構200之閘極209深入N型電流分散層204之深度大於結構300B,故其結構200之閘極/汲極電容Cgd遠大於結構300B。
閘極309與P型井305之間距離(如虛框處)小於預設間距d,預設間距d為閘極309與P型井305之間距離的二至十倍。
在關斷偏壓狀態(blocking state)時,此時源極S接地,汲極D接正電壓,但此時汲極D電壓值會遠大於導通偏壓(forward conducting voltage)時之汲極D電壓值,閘極309則由正電壓降低至接地;P型井305與N型電流分散層304之表面、以及半導體保護層310、N型漂移區303、N型電流分散層304之接面快速形成空乏區,擊穿電場不會在絕緣層I之表面形成,換言之,擊穿電場會相較於習知技術向下移動至半導體保護層310與N型漂移區303之交界面,但由於半導體保護層310相較於絕緣層I為耐高壓材料,故半導體保護層310不會被擊穿電場所破壞以達到保護絕緣層I之效果。
請參考第4圖,第4圖顯示第1圖之習知技術1、第2圖之習知技術2、以及本發明結構之導通偏壓時之電壓電流圖,由電壓電流可以了解本發明之導通偏壓是介於習知技術1與習知技術2之間。
接著請同時參考第5圖,第5圖顯示第1圖之習知技術1、第2圖之習知技術2、以及本發明結構之關斷偏壓時之電壓電流圖,承前所述,本發明結構之崩潰電壓值係高於習知技術1與習知技術2,意即,本發明之結構在關斷偏壓時,比習知技術更能承受高電壓。
接著請同時參考第6圖,第6圖顯示第1圖之習知技術1、第2圖之習知技術2、以及本發明結構之閘極與汲極之間電容值。由第6圖可以了解,本發明結構之閘極與汲極之間電容值遠小於習知技術1與習知技術2。
最後請參考第7圖,第7圖顯示第1圖之習知技術1、第2圖之習知技術2、以及本發明結構之絕緣層電場。其中,橫座標係以各結構圖之絕緣層與N型漂移區之交界處為原點,往x軸沿伸之距離。同前所述,習知技術2與本發明之絕緣層電場接近0,而習知技術1之絕緣層電場則遠大於本發明,故習知技術1之絕緣層會被擊穿電場所破壞。
請注意,本發明之結構在一實施例中係適用於碳化矽(SiC)、氮化鎵(GaN)、以及矽至少其一之材料。
綜上所述,本發明提供一個溝槽式閘極功率金氧半 場效電晶體之結構,具有在關斷偏壓時較習知技術更能耐高電壓;且電容值更小於習知技術,使得導通偏壓與關斷偏壓之間切換時更快速;最後又能有效保護絕緣層不被擊穿電場所破壞。故,本發明能解決習知技術的缺點。
