根據本揭露的一些實施例,半導體裝置100包含凹陷120形成於基底101的輕摻雜磊晶層103內,且凹陷120鄰接基體區109。如第1圖所示,凹陷120位於兩個基體區109之間,且從基底101的正面向下延伸(例如沿著Z軸方向)至輕摻雜磊晶層103中,於一些實施例中,凹陷120的深度D1可為基體區109的厚度T1的25%至75%,在此範圍的深度D1可以提供足夠的源極接觸面積。此外,如第1圖所示,於一實施例中,凹陷120還可側向延伸(例如沿著X軸方向)至兩個基體區109中。於一些實施例中,凹陷120在基體區109中的寬度W1為基體區109的寬度W2的0%以上至75%,例如寬度W1可為寬度W2的25%至75%,在此範圍的寬度W1可以進一步提供更多的源極接觸面積。半導體裝置100還包含第一金屬層121設置於源極區107和基體區109上,且填充於凹陷120內。根據本揭露的一些實施例,填充於凹陷120內的第一金屬層121與基底101形成接面位障蕭特基(JBS)二極體,此JBS二極體位於VDMOSFET的區域中,因此不會佔據額外的布局面積,有利於半導體裝置100的尺寸微縮化。此外,第一金屬層121還覆蓋於介電層115上方,介電層115位於閘極電極113和第一金屬層121之間。
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the
另外,半導體裝置100還包含金屬矽化物層(silicide layer)117設置於源極區107和基體區109上,以及第二金屬層119順向性地設置於介電層115、金屬矽化物層117及凹陷120的側壁和底面上。第二金屬層119包含位於凹陷120內的第一部份119A和第二部份119B,其中,第一部份119A鄰接基體區109,第二部份119B鄰接基底101的輕摻雜磊晶層103。此外,第二金屬層119還包含位於凹陷120外的
第三部份119C和第四部份119D,其中,第三部份119C順向性地設置於介電層115上,第四部份119D順向性地設置於金屬矽化物層117上。根據本揭露的一些實施例,金屬矽化物層117由與半導體材料會形成歐姆接觸的金屬材料製成,因此金屬矽化物層117與源極區107和基體區109形成歐姆接觸。第二金屬層119由與半導體材料會形成蕭特基接觸的金屬材料製成,由於基體區109為重摻雜區,因此第二金屬層119的第一部份119A與基體區109會形成歐姆接觸,而第二金屬層的第二部份119B則與基底101的輕摻雜磊晶層103形成蕭特基接觸。
In addition, the
第2圖是根據本揭露另一實施例所繪示的半導體裝置100的剖面示意圖,在此實施例中,半導體裝置100的凹陷120的側壁鄰接基體區109的側壁,且凹陷120未側向延伸至基體區109中,如第2圖所示,於一實施例中,凹陷120的側壁至少與基體區109的側壁接觸,凹陷120未延伸於基體區109中(亦即凹陷120在基體區109中的寬度為基體區109的寬度的0%)。另外,在此實施例中,第二金屬層119的第一部份119A僅位於凹陷120的側壁上。此外,如第2圖所示,於一實施例中,半導體裝置100的基體區109的底面可低於井區105的底面。
Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a
根據本揭露的一些實施例,藉由在基底101內形成凹陷120,可以在不增加半導體裝置100的整體投影面積的情況下,增加第二金屬層119和基體區109間的接觸面積,例如至少增加基體區109暴露出於凹陷120側壁的面積,或是進一步增加基體區109暴露出於凹陷120底面的面積。藉由增加第二金屬層119和基體區109間的接觸面積,可降低第二金屬層119和基體區109間的接面電阻及壓降。此外,可同時搭配將基體區109的底面低於源極區107的底面,以降低基體區109和鄰接的井區105之間的壓降。再者,藉由增加第二金屬層119和基體區109間的接觸面積,或進一步將基體區109的底面低於源極區107的底面,可避免源極區107、井區105和輕摻雜磊晶層103所構成的寄生雙載子電晶體(parasitic BJT)被導通,以防止輕摻雜磊晶層103的SiC晶格被破壞,進而提高半導體裝置100的可靠
度。

Next, referring to FIG. 7 , in step S115 , first, a metal material layer is conformally deposited on the surface of the
然後,參閱第8圖,於步驟S119,使用如第7圖所示的圖案化光阻130作為蝕刻遮罩,於一實施例中,利用蝕刻製程移除開口132暴露出的金屬矽化物層117的一部份及位於其下方的基底101的輕摻雜磊晶層103的一部分和基體區109的一部分,以形成凹陷120,並且留下金屬矽化物層117於源極區107和基體區109的表面上。於此實施例中,凹陷120的側壁可側向延伸至基體區109中。於另一實施例中,開口132未暴露出基體區109,利用蝕刻製程移除開口132暴露出的金屬矽化物層117的一部份及位於其下方的基底101的輕摻雜磊晶層103的一部分,以形成凹陷120,於此實施例中,凹陷120的側壁可對齊基體區109鄰接輕摻雜磊晶層103的側壁。於一些實施例中,凹陷120的寬度可由圖案化光阻130的開口132來控制,使得凹陷120可側向延伸至基體區109中,或者凹陷120的側壁可接觸基體區109的側壁。

之後,參閱第9圖,於步驟S121,順向性地沉積第二金屬層119於介電層115和金屬矽化物層117的表面上,以及順向性地沉積於凹陷120的側壁和底面上,第二金屬層119的組成為可以與半導體材料(例如SiC)形成蕭特基接觸的金屬材料,例如鈦(Ti)。

本揭露的一些實施例之半導體裝置利用形成於基底中的凹陷,以及凹陷位於兩個基體區之間且鄰接於基體區的方式來形成接面位障蕭基(JBS)二極體,此JBS二極體整合於金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體(MOSFET)的結構中,因此不會增加半導體裝置的布局面積。此外,位於凹陷內且接觸基體區的第二金屬層與重摻雜的基體區可以形成歐姆接觸,且有效增加第一金屬層與基體區的接觸面積,進而降低源極接觸電阻。因此,半導體裝置的短路能量(Esc)和非箝制雪崩能量(Eas)的耐受程度會因為源極接觸電阻的降低而得到改善,以提高半導體裝置的耐用度,其有利於高功率元件的應用。 Semiconductor devices according to some embodiments of the present disclosure utilize recesses formed in a substrate, and the recesses are located between two base regions and adjacent to the base regions to form a junction barrier Schiff base (JBS) diode. This JBS The diode is integrated into the structure of the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), so it does not increase the layout area of the semiconductor device. In addition, the second metal layer located in the recess and contacting the base region can form an ohmic contact with the heavily doped base region, and effectively increase the contact area between the first metal layer and the base region, thereby reducing the source contact resistance. Therefore, the short-circuit energy (Esc) and unclamped avalanche energy (Eas) tolerance of the semiconductor device will be improved due to the reduction of the source contact resistance, so as to improve the durability of the semiconductor device, which is beneficial to the application of high-power components .
