The method comprises the following steps that firstly, the forbidden band width is large, the forbidden band width is 3.39eV and is more than 3 times of the forbidden band width of a silicon material, so that the working temperature of a semiconductor device made of a GaN material can be higher than that of semiconductor materials such as GaAs and Si; the critical breakdown field intensity of the gallium nitride is as high as 3.4MV/cm, which is higher than Si and GaAs by one order of magnitude, so that the gallium nitride device can bear high voltage and high power; the high saturation electron migration velocity reaches 3 multiplied by 10 7 cm/s, which is much larger than semiconductor materials such as GaAs, si, 4H-SiC and the like, allows the GaN material to be used for manufacturing high-frequency electronic devices; the low dielectric constant, gaN, is smaller than GaAs, si, and 4H-SiC, which allows the device to operate at high frequencies and speeds.

Example 2:
as shown in fig. 2, this embodiment provides an N-substrate trench GaN insulated gate bipolar transistor structure with a buffer layer, which is bilaterally symmetric, and includes a P + collector 1, an N-drift region 2, a P-channel region 3, an N + emitter substrate 4, an insulating dielectric layer 5, a gate metal Al contact region 6, a collector metal contact region 7, an emitter metal contact region i 8, an emitter metal contact region ii 9, and an N-buffer layer 10.
Specifically, in this embodiment, based on the structure of embodiment 1 (fig. 1), only the N-buffer layer 10 is added to the transistor structure, wherein the upper surface of the N-buffer layer 10 contacts the lower surface of the P + collector 1, and the lower surface thereof contacts the upper surface of the N-drift region 2. The N-buffer layer 10 has a thickness of 1 μm and a width of 8 μm, and the doping concentration of the N-buffer layer 10 is selected to be 17 th power.
Example 3:
as shown in FIG. 3, the trench MOS transistor structure with the same size as the IGBT of FIG. 1 has a bilateral symmetry, and the left half structure comprises an N + drain region 11, an N-drift region 2, a P-channel region 3, an N + emitter substrate 4, an insulating dielectric layer 5, a gate metal contact region 6, a collector metal contact region 7, an emitter metal contact region I8 and an emitter metal Ni/Al contact region 9.
Specifically, this embodiment is to replace the P + collector 1 in embodiment 1 (fig. 1) with the N + drain region 11 of the same size.
Fig. 4 shows T =300K at room temperature and a concentration of 1 × 10 in the drift region 2 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 multiplied by 10 17 cm -3 In the case of the threshold voltage curves of the IGBT and the MOS transistor in example 1 (shown in fig. 4), the data result obtained by the silver simulation is plotted by the Origin tool, and as can be seen from fig. 4, when the concentration of the P-channel region 3 is the same, the threshold voltage of the IGBT is about 4V, the threshold voltage of the MOS transistor is about 5.5V, and the threshold voltage of the MOS transistor is higher than that of the IGBT by 1.5V.
Fig. 5 shows T =300K at room temperature and a concentration of 1 × 10 in the drift region 2 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the P-channel region 3 is 1 x 10 17 cm -3 In the case of the output characteristic curve of the (IGBT) in example 1, the data result obtained by the Silvaco simulation is plotted by the Origin tool as shown in FIG. 5, and it can be seen from FIG. 5 that V is g When the voltage is not less than 2V, the device is started, an inversion layer is formed on one side of the channel layer at the contact surface of the channel region 3 and the insulating medium layer 5, the N-drift region 2 and the N + collector 4 are conducted, electrons move from the N + collector 4 to the N-drift region 2 to form electron current, and the electron current promotes the P + collector 1 to inject holes into the N-drift region 2 to form a conductance modulation effect. As can be seen from fig. 5, after the channel is turned on, the output current increases first and then gradually reaches saturation as the voltage of the P + collector region 1 increases, and the saturation current also gradually increases as the gate voltage increases. It can be seen from the figure that at V d When the voltage is less than 3V, no current is formed although the channel is opened, because a PN junction is formed between the P + collector 1 and the N-drift region 2, the current can be formed when the collector voltage is greater than the junction voltage of the PN junction.
FIG. 6 shows T =300K at room temperature and a concentration of 1 × 10 in the drift region 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the channel region is 1 multiplied by 10 17 cm -3 Meanwhile, the same-size groove MOS tube outputs a characteristic curve. It can be seen from fig. 6 that when the IGBT and the MOS transistor with the same size have the same channel concentration and the same drift region concentration, the same voltage is applied to the gate and the collector, and the maximum output current of the IGBT is about 2.3 times the maximum output current of the MOS transistor, mainly because the IGBT has a P + collector region more than the MOS transistor, and when the device is turned on, the IGBT P + collector region is larger than the MOS transistorThe electrode 1 injects holes into the drift region 2, and the conductivity modulation effect occurs in the drift region 2, so that the output current of the IGBT is increased.
Fig. 7 shows T =300K at room temperature and a concentration of 1 × 10 in the drift region 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 multiplied by 10 17 cm -3 When the IGBT is under different gate voltages, the lateral distribution diagram of the electron concentration in the range of coordinates y =9 μm,9.92 μm ≦ x ≦ 10.04 μm (shown by a straight line AA' in FIG. 1), namely the electron concentration at the inversion layer of the channel. As is apparent from analysis in conjunction with fig. 5, the larger the voltage applied to the gate electrode is, the higher the concentration of electrons in the inversion layer is, and the wider the inversion layer is formed on the side of the channel layer at the boundary between the oxide layer 5 and the channel region 3, so that the larger the number of electrons passing through the channel region per unit time is, the larger the saturation current of electrons is.
Fig. 8 shows T =300K at room temperature and a concentration of 1 × 10 in the drift region 2 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 multiplied by 10 17 cm -3 When the MOS tube is under different grid voltages, the coordinate y =9 μm,9.92 μm ≦ x ≦ 10.05 μm (the straight line A in FIG. 8) 1 A 1 ' shown) electron concentration lateral profile, i.e., the electron concentration at the channel inversion layer. Obviously, the larger the voltage applied to the gate electrode is, the higher the electron concentration at the inversion layer is, and analysis in conjunction with fig. 6 shows that the higher the electron concentration at the inversion layer is, the larger the saturation current of electrons is. Comparing fig. 7 and fig. 8, it can be seen that, because the threshold voltage of the IGBT is 1.5V less than that of the MOS transistor, the IGBT has a higher electron concentration than the inversion layer at the channel of the MOS transistor under the same gate voltage, and V is the voltage of the inversion layer g When the voltage is =9V, the electron concentration at the IGBT channel is about 1.8 times that of the MOS transistor, which is also a reason why the IGBT current is larger than that of the MOS transistor in the same gate voltage.
Fig. 9 is a graph showing T =300K at room temperature, and forward withstand voltage curves of embodiment 1 (IGBT) and MOS transistors. Collector region 1 is applied with a positive voltage, and PN junction J of collector region 1 and drift region 2 1 Forward biased, PN junction J of drift region 2 and channel region 3 2 Reverse bias, at J, since the channel region 3 has a higher doping concentration than the drift region 2 2 The depletion region is extended to the drift region 2, and the voltage resistance of the device is mainly determined by the size and doping concentration of the drift region 2. As can be seen from fig. 9, as the collector voltage gradually increases, the collector current of the device suddenly and significantly increases at a certain point, at which the device avalanche breakdown occurs, and the doping concentration of the IGBT and the MOS transistor in the drift region 2 is 1 × 10 16 cm -3 The concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 × 10 17 cm -3 In this case, the withstand voltage can be 1060V, and the withstand voltage level of the GaN material can be 132.5V/μm.
Fig. 10 shows T =300K at room temperature, with a doping concentration of 1 × 10 in the channel region 3 17 cm -3 The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 1 multiplied by 10 16 cm -3 When in BB' and B 1 B 1 ' in example 1 (IGBT) and MOS tube breakdown, the electric field concentration distribution curve. Comparing fig. 10 (a) and fig. 10 (b) in fig. 10, it can be seen that the electric field concentration of both the IGBT and the MOS transistor reaches the maximum value at y =6.5 μm, and the breakdown phenomenon occurs, and the electric field maximum value is 3MV/μm. Breakdown here is because the structure proposed in this patent is that x =8 μm, y =6 μm, are the corners of the drift region 2, resulting in a relatively concentrated electric field here.
FIG. 11 shows T =300K at room temperature and a doping concentration of 1 × 10 in the channel region 3 17 cm -3 The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 5 multiplied by 10 15 cm -3 To 4X 10 16 cm -3 And (3) a change curve of the breakdown voltage of the GaN IGBT when the voltage is changed. As can be seen from fig. 11, the breakdown voltage decreases with increasing doping concentration of the drift region 2, and in the given data, the doping concentration in the drift region 2 has a minimum value of 5 × 10 15 cm -3 When the breakdown voltage is maximum, it reaches 1388V, and the voltage-resisting level of GaN material can be 173.5V/micrometer, but because of the limitation of GaN material, it can not implement N-type doping with too low concentration, so that the selective doping concentration of drift region 2 in the invention is 1X 10 16 cm -3 . PN junction J of drift region 2 and channel region 3 with increasing concentration of drift region 2 2 The depth of the diffusion towards the drift region 2 is gradually reduced, so that the withstand voltage of the device is gradually reduced.
Fig. 12 shows T =300K at room temperature, with a doping concentration of 1 × 10 in the channel region 3 17 cm -3 The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 1 multiplied by 10 16 cm -3 In time, embodiment 1 (IGBT) turn-on voltage curve. As can be seen from FIG. 12, a voltage is applied to the collector from the beginning to a voltage V c Before reaching 3V, no collector current is output, mainly because the PN junction voltage of the collector 1 and the drift region 2 is influenced when V is c After more than 3V, the collector current I c The current is increased rapidly and reaches 100A/cm for IGBT 2 When the device is on, V at this time d I.e., the on-state voltage drop of the IGBT, the turn-on voltage V of embodiment 1 (IGBT) on1 About 3.88V and the specific on-resistance of 0.88m omega/cm 2
Fig. 13 shows T =300K at room temperature, with a doping concentration of 1 × 10 in the channel region 3 17 cm -3 The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 1 multiplied by 10 16 cm -3 And the turn-on voltage curve of the MOS transistor with the same size as that of the embodiment 1 (IGBT) is obtained. As can be seen from fig. 13, for the MOS transistor, there is no PN junction between the drift region and the collector region of the IGBT inside the device, so that a current is output when a voltage is applied to the drain, and for the MOS transistor, the current reaches 20A/cm 2 The device is turned on, so that the turn-on voltage V of the MOS transistor on2 About 0.32V and a specific on-resistance of 1.6m omega/cm 2 . Comparing the data in fig. 12 and fig. 13, it can be seen that the specific on-resistance of the embodiment 1 (IGBT) is reduced by 45% compared with the specific on-resistance of the MOS transistor with the same size.
Fig. 14 shows T =300K at room temperature, and the doping concentration in the channel region 3 is 1 × 10 17 cm -3 The doping concentration of the drift region 2 is 5 multiplied by 10 15 cm -3 To 4X 10 16 cm -3 And (3) a change curve of the conduction voltage drop of the IGBT device during change. As can be seen from fig. 14, as the doping concentration of the drift region 2 increases, the turn-on voltage drop of the IGBT device decreases gradually, because as the concentration of the drift region 2 increases gradually, the amount of minority carriers injected into the drift region from the P + collector region during forward conduction also increases gradually, so that the conductance modulation effect in the IGBT is enhanced, the resistance of the drift region 2 is reduced, and the turn-on voltage drop of the device is reduced.
Fig. 15 shows the IGBT device of example 1 and the MOS device of example 3 with drift region 2 doping concentration at 5.0 × 10 15 cm -3 To 3X 10 16 cm -3 Comparative graph of specific on-resistance between. As can be seen from fig. 15, the specific on-resistance of the GaN IGBT gradually decreases with the increase in the concentration of the drift region 2 when the doping concentration of the drift region is 3 × 10 16 cm -3 The specific on-resistance of the GaN IGBT is 0.79 m.OMEGA.. Cm 2 (ii) a In addition, as the concentration of the drift region 2 is increased, the specific on-resistance of the MOS is gradually reduced, but the influence of the concentration of the drift region on the specific on-resistance of the MOS transistor is not great, because the collector region 1 injects minority carriers into the drift region 2 during forward conduction, and a conductivity modulation effect occurs, which greatly reduces the specific on-resistance of the device, so that the specific on-resistance of the GaN IGBT in this concentration range is smaller than the specific on-resistance of the MOS transistor, and as the doping concentration of the drift region 2 is increased, the hole injection rate of the P + collector is reduced, the influence effect on the specific on-resistance of the GaN IGBT is weakened, and as the doping concentration of the drift region 2 is continuously increased, the specific on-resistance difference between the GaN IGBT and the MOS transistor is gradually reduced.
Fig. 16 shows the IGBT device of example 1 and the MOS device of example 3 with drift region 2 doping concentration of 5 × 10 15 cm -3 To 3X 10 16 cm -3 Baliga figure of merit FOM comparison between. As can be seen from FIG. 16, the FOM of the N-substrate GaN trench gate IGBT device gradually decreases with the increase of the doping concentration of the drift region 2 when the doping concentration is 5 × 10 15 cm -3 Where the maximum value of 2GW/cm is obtained 2 (ii) a The FOM of the MOS tube device with the same size is also reduced along with the increase of the doping concentration of the drift region 2 and is 5 multiplied by 10 15 cm -3 Maximum value of 0.72GW/cm is obtained 2 From the figure, it can be known that FOM of the GaN IGBT is 2.78 times of that of the MOS tube with the same size.
Fig. 17 shows T =300K at room temperature and a concentration of 1 × 10 in the drift region 2 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the channel region 3 is 1 multiplied by 10 17 cm -3 And meanwhile, drawing a data result obtained by Silvaco simulation through an Origin tool according to an IGBT turn-off characteristic curve. At time T =2 × 10 -6 At s, the gate voltage is decreased from 12V to 0V, and the collector voltage is decreased from 10V to 0V. As can be seen from fig. 17, at T =2 × 10 -6 When s is reached, the gate voltage becomes 0V, the channel is closed, and current is collectedThe pole current decreases rapidly and the turn-off time is calculated as the time it takes for the current to decrease from 90% to 10% of the maximum current, the turn-off time of this IGBT being 14.3ns.
