- a drain electrode 85 which is a metal film, is formed on the surface of the back surface ohmic electrode 71 formed on the back surface of the substrate 10, the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view thereof and FIG. Is completed.
- the first state is a case where a high voltage is applied to the drain electrode 85 with respect to the source electrode 80 and a positive voltage equal to or higher than the threshold value is applied to the gate electrode 60, which is hereinafter referred to as an “on state”.
- an ON state an inversion channel is formed in the channel region, and a path through which electrons as carriers flow is formed between the n-type source region 40 and the n-type second separation region 21.
- the Schottky junction formed at the contact portion between the first separation region 22 and the Schottky electrode 75 is applied with an electric field (reverse bias) in a direction in which current does not easily flow for Schottky connection, that is, in the reverse direction. , No current flows.
- Electrons flowing from the source electrode 80 to the drift electrode 85 are transferred from the source electrode 80 to the source ohmic electrode 70, the source region 40, the channel region, and the second separation region 21 in accordance with the electric field formed by the positive voltage applied to the drain electrode 85.
- the drain electrode 85 is reached via the drift layer 20 and the substrate 10. Therefore, an on-current flows from the drain electrode 85 to the source electrode 80 by applying a positive voltage to the gate electrode 60.
- a voltage applied between the source electrode 80 and the drain electrode 85 is referred to as an on-voltage
- a value obtained by dividing the on-voltage by the on-current density is referred to as an on-resistance, which is equal to the total resistance of the path through which the electrons flow. . Since the product of the square of the on-resistance and the on-current is equal to the energization loss that the MOSFET consumes when energized, it is preferable that the on-resistance is low.
- the second state is a case where a high voltage is applied to the drain electrode 85 with respect to the source electrode 80 and a voltage equal to or lower than the threshold value is applied to the gate electrode 60, and is hereinafter referred to as an “off state”.
- an “off state” since inversion carriers do not exist in the channel region, no on current flows, and a high voltage applied to the load in the on state is applied between the source electrode 80 and the drain electrode 85 of the MOSFET. Since an electric field in the same direction as that of the “on state” is applied to the Schottky junction formed at the contact portion between the first separation region 22 and the Schottky electrode 75, current does not flow ideally, Since an electric field much higher than "" is applied, a leakage current can occur. If the leak current is large, the heat generation of the MOSFET increases and the MOSFET and the module using the MOSFET may be thermally destroyed. Therefore, it is preferable to keep the electric field applied to the Schottky junction low in order to reduce the leak current.
- a low voltage is applied to the drain electrode 85 with respect to the source electrode 80, that is, a back electromotive voltage is applied to the MOSFET, and a reflux current flows from the source electrode 80 to the drain electrode 85.
- this state is referred to as a “reflux state”.
- a forward electric field forward bias
- a unipolar current consisting of an electron current flows toward.
- the return current component of the return diode is only this unipolar component.
- the source electrode 80 and the well region 30 are at the same potential via the source ohmic electrode 70.
- a forward bias is applied to the pn junction between the p-type well region 30 and the drift layer 20.
- this forward bias increases and exceeds the diffusion potential of the pn junction, holes are injected from the well region 30 toward the drift layer 20. That is, a pn diode including the p-type well region 30 and the n-type drift layer 20 operates, and minority carrier injection (bipolar operation) occurs. That is, the bipolar current is added to the unipolar current as the current component of the freewheeling diode.
- the first problem is that a recovery current is generated because it is necessary to extract holes injected as minority carriers when changing from the reflux state to the off state or the on state, resulting in power loss, that is, recovery loss. It is to be. That is, when a bipolar current is added to the current component of the freewheeling diode, power loss increases.
- the second problem is that a semiconductor crystal may be damaged by recombination energy generated by recombination of a part of holes injected as minority carriers with electrons.
- recombination energy generated by recombination of a part of holes injected as minority carriers with electrons.
- stacking faults occur due to recombination energy. This stacking fault is problematic in that it is difficult for current to flow, the resistance of the device is increased, and the device characteristics deteriorate over time.
- the maximum current density (maximum unipolar current density) that can flow only with unipolar current without causing bipolar operation, that is, the freewheeling diode component is unipolar current. It is desirable to realize an SBD built-in MOSFET having a large maximum unipolar current density.
- the resistance of the first separation region 22 is lowered by making the impurity concentration of the first region higher than the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20. That is, it is effective to suppress the forward bias applied to the pn junction between the well region 30 and the drift layer 20 so as to prevent the bipolar operation by suppressing the voltage drop in the first separation region 22. It is.
- the resistance of the first separation region 22 is reduced by making the n-type impurity concentration of the first region in the first separation region 22 higher than the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20. Therefore, the forward bias applied to the pn junction can be suppressed. That is, since the current density of the freewheeling diode in a state where minority carrier injection does not occur, that is, the maximum value of the unipolar current density is increased, the maximum unipolar current density of the freewheeling diode can be increased.
- the unipolar current density of the free-wheeling diode in which no minority carriers are injected into the silicon carbide that is the drift layer 20, that is, the maximum unipolar current can be increased. It does not occur, and there is an effect that deterioration of device characteristics with time can be suppressed.
- the n-type impurity concentration of the first region is higher than the second impurity concentration of the well region 30, the depletion layer from the well region 30 to the first separation region 22 does not sufficiently expand in the off state, and the Schottky Since the electric field applied to the junction increases and the leakage current increases, the n-type (first conductivity type) impurity concentration of the first region is the second of the p-type (second conductivity type) of the well region 30. It is important to make it lower than the impurity concentration.
- the second impurity concentration in the well region 30 has a concentration distribution in the depth direction, so that the expansion of the depletion layer from the well region 30 is simple, so that the extension in the direction perpendicular to the pn junction surface is considered. In other words, even if the second impurity concentration of the well region 30 differs depending on the depth, the impurity concentration in the first region is compared with the second impurity concentration of the same depth in the well region 30. It should be low.
- the impurity concentration at a certain depth in the first region should be lower than the second impurity concentration in the well region 30 at the same depth and higher than the first impurity concentration in the drift layer 20.
- the present embodiment when the present embodiment is not used, that is, when the n-type impurity concentration of the entire first separation region 22 is equal to the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20, as a method for increasing the maximum unipolar current density, the first separation region A method of expanding the width of 22 can be considered. In this case, the following two problems arise.
- the first problem is that the cell pitch corresponding to the lateral length of the substrate 10 in FIG. 1, that is, the length of the minimum period (unit cell) constituting the MOSFET increases with the increase in the width of the first separation region 22. This increases the on-resistance of the MOSFET.
- the reason why the on-resistance increases due to the increase in the cell pitch is that the density of the path through which the on-current flows decreases.
- the channel width density that is, the width of the channel formed per unit area of the MOSFET decreases, and the channel resistance approximately inversely proportional to the channel width density increases.
- a MOSFET using silicon carbide as a semiconductor material is a serious problem because channel resistance occupies a large proportion of on-resistance because of low channel mobility.
- the second problem is that the electric field applied to the Schottky junction in the off state increases and the leakage current increases.
- the reason is as follows. First, in the off state, the depletion layer extending from the well region 30 toward the first separation region 22 serves to reduce the electric field strength applied to the Schottky junction. When the width of the first separation region 22 is widened, a high voltage that cannot be shielded by the depletion layer oozes out to the upper portion of the first separation region 22, and as a result, the electric field strength applied to the Schottky junction increases.
- the first problem is that the first region, which is the first separation region 22, has a higher impurity concentration than the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20. Since the resistance of the one separated region 22 is reduced, the maximum unipolar current density is increased, and the maximum unipolar current can be increased. That is, in the first embodiment, the maximum unipolar current can be increased without increasing the cell pitch and without increasing the on-resistance.
- the concentration of the first separation region 22 is increased, the electric field directed from the first separation region 22 toward the Schottky electrode 75 increases in the off state, so that the electric field strength applied to the Schottky junction increases.
- the amount of increase in the electric field strength can be kept relatively low as compared with the case where the same maximum unipolar current density is obtained by increasing the width of the first separation region 22 without using the present invention.
- the electric field applied to the Schottky junction is lower when the first embodiment is used than when the width of the first separation region 22 is increased. I found out that I can do it.
- the depth that is, the resistance at the position where the distance from the Schottky junction in the depth direction is z is determined by the resistivity of the first separation region 22 and the width of the effective conduction path.
- An effective conduction path is a region excluding the depletion layer extending from the well region 30 in the first separation region 22.
- the resistance of the first separation region 22 is assumed to be RIS .
- the R IS is a value obtained by multiplying the width L w of the first separation region 22 to the resistance per unit area of the first separation region 22.
- the differential resistance dR IS / dz at the depth z is expressed by (Equation 1).
- L d means a depletion layer width extending from the pn junction surface between the well region 30 and the first separation region 22 toward the first separation region 22. L d can be obtained by the following (formula 2).
- ⁇ 0 is the dielectric constant of vacuum
- ⁇ s is the relative dielectric constant of the semiconductor constituting the first separated region
- ⁇ bi is the diffusion potential of the pn junction
- V j (z) is in the first separated region 22.
- the potential is based on the source electrode 80 at the position of the depth z. (Expression 3) is obtained from (Expression 1) and (Expression 2).
- the off state In the off state, all of the first separation region 22 is depleted by the depletion layer extending from the well region 30 toward the first separation region 22.
- the electric field strength applied to the Schottky junction in the off state is proportional to the potential difference between the Schottky electrode 75 having the same potential as the source electrode 80 and the depleted first separation region 22.
- discussion using a two-dimensional simulation described below is necessary.
- the potential of the first separation region 22 in the off state increases with an increase in drain voltage. When the potential of the first separation region 22 increases, it can be approximated to be approximately equal to the potential when the first separation region 22 is completely depleted for the first time.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the relationship of the potential V jd (z) of the first separation region 22 when is completely depleted. Note that L W is in the range of 0.5 to 8 ⁇ m, and the values of L W in the respective characteristics are shown in the figure.
- the Schottky barrier potential is used as an approximate value for V j (z) in (Expression 3) for obtaining dR IS / dz in the reflux state.
- N IS is 1e16 or 1e17 cm -3 in 2 [mu] m
- L W is 8 [mu] m
- L W is N IS at 2 ⁇ m from conditions 1e16 cm -3, from when the left L W equals N IS to 8 [mu] m, and increased while N IS holding the L W to 2 ⁇ m to 1e17 cm -3 It can be seen that V jd (z) can be made smaller and dR IS / dz can be made smaller in the time.
- the potential difference V jd (z) and the differential resistance dR IS / dz of the first separation region 22 are made smaller than when the width of the first separation region 22 is increased without using this embodiment. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in electric field strength applied to the Schottky junction and increase the maximum unipolar current density.
- the maximum unipolar current density can be increased while reducing the leakage current in the off state.
- the electric field strength of the Schottky junction can be reduced as the impurity concentration in the first separation region 22 is increased, so that the off-state leakage current can be reduced.
- the method of increasing the impurity concentration of the first separation region 22 As a method for increasing the impurity concentration of the first separation region 22, the method of increasing only the impurity concentration of the first separation region 22 and the impurity concentration of the first separation region 22 are the same as the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20. There are two possible methods of increasing the impurity concentration of both. However, in the latter case, there is a problem that the breakdown voltage of the MOSFET is lowered.
- the method of increasing the impurity concentration of the first separation region 22 without reducing the withstand voltage is realized only by the method of increasing the impurity concentration of the first region, which is the first separation region 22, higher than the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20. Is done. That is, increasing the maximum unipolar current density with the same breakdown voltage is realized by making the impurity concentration of the first region higher than the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20.
- the effect of the present embodiment was verified by device simulation.
- a structure A not using the first embodiment according to the present invention and a structure B using the first embodiment according to the present invention are assumed.
- the impurity concentration of the first separation region 22 is 3e15 cm ⁇ 3, which is equal to the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20, and the width of the first separation region 22 is 3 ⁇ m.
- the impurity concentration of the first separation region 22 and 5.3E16cm -3 are high with respect to 3E15 cm -3 is first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20.
- the width of the first separation region 22 in the structure B is 1.75 ⁇ m.
- the impurity concentration and width of the first separation region 22 in the structure B are set so that the electric field strength applied to the Schottky junction is 1.2 MV / cm, which is the same as that in the structure A, when an off-state voltage of 3300 V is applied. Is set. Dimensions other than the first separation region 22 are the same in the structure A and the structure B. That is, the cell pitch is smaller in the structure B using the first embodiment.
- FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the source-drain voltage V ds in the reflux state and the reflux current density I rd flowing per unit area, obtained by device simulation.
- the current density rapidly increases because the pn diode composed of the well region 30 and the drift layer 20 operates, and conductivity modulation is caused by the injection of minority carriers into the drift layer 20.
- a bipolar current is added to the unipolar current as a reflux current component. It can be seen that the current density immediately before this phenomenon occurs corresponds to the maximum unipolar current density, and the structure B is improved by 22% compared to the structure A.
- the cell pitch is smaller in the structure B, it is obvious that the on-resistance is reduced.
- the structure B using the first embodiment can increase the maximum unipolar current density and reduce the on-resistance.
- the electric field strength applied to the Schottky junction is set to be the same in the structures A and B.
- the maximum unipolar current density is designed to be the same, the electric field strength applied to the Schottky junction is higher in the structure B. Needless to say, the result is reduced.
- the electric field applied to the Schottky junction in the MOSFET off state can be suppressed, and the leakage current can be reduced. There is an effect that it is obtained.
- the unipolar current density can be increased without increasing the width of the first separation region 22, it is not necessary to increase the cell pitch of the MOSFET, and the increase in on-resistance can be suppressed, so that the chip area can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. There is an effect that it is possible to reduce.
- the voltage drop in the first separation region 22, which is located under the Schottky junction and is sandwiched between the well regions 30, can be reduced, minority carrier injection does not occur in the pn junction between the well region 30 and the drift layer 20. In this state, the unipolar current density can be increased. In other words, in the semiconductor device having the same chip area, there is an effect that the maximum unipolar current before the bipolar current is added to the reflux current component can be increased.
- nitrogen is used as the n-type (first conductivity type) impurity, but phosphorus or arsenic may be used.
- aluminum is used as a p-type (second conductivity type) impurity, but boron or gallium may be used.
- ion implantation is mentioned as a method for increasing the impurity concentration of the first region of the first separation region 22, but epitaxial growth may be used. That is, after growing the drift layer 20, a first conductivity type epitaxial layer having an impurity concentration higher than the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20 is grown. Through the process of removing the implantation into the separation region 22, the impurity concentration of the first separation region 22 can be made higher than the first impurity concentration of the drift layer 20 to form the first region.
