Description

一种高浪涌电流能力碳化硅二极管及其制作方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种二极管及制造方法,尤其是一种高浪涌电流能力碳化硅二极管及其制作方法,属于半导体器件的制造技术领域。
背景技术
功率器件及其模块为实现多种形式电能之间转换提供了有效的途径,在国防建设、交通运输、工业生产、医疗卫生等领域得到了广泛应用。自上世纪50年代第一款功率器件应用以来,每一代功率器件的推出,都使得能源更为高效地转换和使用。
传统功率器件及模块由硅基功率器件主导,主要以晶闸管、功率PIN器件、功率双极结型器件、功率MOSFET以及绝缘栅场效应晶体管等器件为主,在全功率范围内均得到了广泛的应用,以其悠久历史、十分成熟的设计技术和工艺技术占领了功率半导体器件的主导市场。然而,随着功率半导体技术发展的日渐成熟,硅基功率器件其特性已逐渐逼近其理论极限。研究人员在硅基功率器件狭窄的优化空间中努力寻求更佳参数的同时,也注意到了SiC、GaN等第三代宽带隙半导体材料在大功率、高频率、耐高温、抗辐射等领域中优异的材料特性。
碳化硅(SiC)材料凭借其优良的性能成为了国际上功率半导体器件的研究热点。碳化硅(SiC)相比传统的硅材料具有禁带宽度大、击穿场强高、热导率高等优势。禁带宽度大使碳化硅的本征载流子浓度低,从而减小了器件的反向电流;高的击穿场强可以大大提高功率器件的反向击穿电压,并且可以降低器件导通时的电阻;高热导率可以大大提高器件可以工作的最高工作温度;并且在众多高功率应用场合,比如:高速铁路、混合动力汽车、智能高压直流输电等领域,碳化硅基器件均被赋予了很高的期望。同时,碳化硅功率器件能够有效降低功率损耗,故此被誉为带动“新能源革命”的“绿色能源”器件。
目前,碳化硅功率器件注意包括二极管和MOSFET。对于碳化硅二极管,击穿电压、正向导通压降和结电容电荷是其最主要电学参数,浪涌电流能力是其最重要的可靠性参数。目前碳化硅二极管往往采用结势垒肖特基二极管(JBS),如图1所示为典型的碳化硅JBS结构,在器件正常导通工作状态下(小电流),仅仅有肖特基接触区域导通,P型阱区不参与导电,因此P型阱区面积越大,在相同面积条件下器件的导通压降越大,导通损耗越大。在大电流条件下(浪涌电流来临时),PN结导通,向器件的漂移区注入少子空穴,从而提高器件的浪涌电流能力,因此P型阱区面积越大,器件的浪涌电流能力越强。然而,由于碳化硅的PN结二极管开启电压较高,浪涌电流来临时很难有效的保证PN结有效开启,即使PN结开启,也常常存在器件正向导通压降过高,导致芯片温度上升较快,极易失效,从而导致碳化硅功率浪涌电流能力较差。另一方 面,如果大幅增加JBS二极管P型阱区的面积,可以有效的提高器件的浪涌电流能力,但导致器件的正向导通损耗较大,在系统中应用时对电能的转换效率有不利的影响。
故而,亟需一种正向导通压降较小、浪涌电流大的碳化硅JBS器件,以克服现有技术所存在的不足。

第二步:在第一光刻胶的遮挡下,选择性高能量注入P型杂质,再选择性低能量注入P型杂质,然后进行高温退火,分别形成N型高阻区、P型阱区;
第三步:对N型碳化硅衬底下表面进行背面减薄,然后淀积金属层形成阴极金属,在N型碳化硅外延层上表面通过淀积金属形成阳极金属,最终制备得到碳化硅功率二极管器件。
进一步地,在所述步骤二后,使用第二光刻胶的遮挡,选择性注入P型杂质,然后进行高温退火,在N型高阻区内形成多个间隔分布的块状P型区。
进一步地,所述块状P型区的宽度不大于N型高阻区的厚度。
进一步地,所述步骤二中的N型高阻区还可以通过外延工艺得到,具体为:
在N型碳化硅外延层上表面生长N型高阻层;
在第一光刻胶的遮挡下,在N型高阻层表面选择性低能量注入P型杂质,去除第一光刻胶;
在第三光刻胶的遮挡下,在N型高阻层表面选择性注入N型杂质,去除第三光刻胶;
然后进行高温退火,分别形成P型阱区、位于P型阱区间的N型阱区及位于P型阱区下方的N型高阻区。

与传统碳化硅二极管件相比,本发明具有以下优点:
1)本发明通过在P型阱区下方或下表面增加了一个N型高阻区,如图25所示,在小电流条件下,电子电流从阳极肖特基结流入器件内部,流过N型高阻区,然后以约45度角向阴极扩散流出,P型阱区下方的N型高阻区基本不影响电子电流的流动,因此该结构不会影响器件的正向导通压降;如图26所示,在大电流条件下,将有相当一部分电子电流流过P型阱区下方的N型高阻区,在N型高阻区中存在寄生电阻,因此在N型高阻区内会产生横向压降,导致P型阱区中心下方的电势可以明显降低,器件内的PN结可以更有效的打开,实现更高的电流能力,从而使得器件具备较高的浪涌电流能力;
2)本发明通过在P型阱区内设有若干个间隔分立的沟槽,当电子电流流过N型高阻区时,沟槽的设置可以延长电子电流的流通路径,增加了P型阱区下方的横向电阻,从而保证在大电流条件下器件内的PN结更有效的打开,增加器件的浪涌电流能力;
3)通过在沟槽内设置与阳极金属电连接的导电多晶硅,当器件耐压时,导电多晶硅与其相邻的N型碳化硅外延层或N型阱区横向耗尽,产生横向电场,可提高器件耐压能力;
4)本发明通过在N型高阻区内设有若干个间隔分立的块状P型区,当电子电流流过N型高阻区时,块状P型区的设置可以延长电子电流的流通路径,增加了P型阱区下方的横向电阻,从而保证在大电流条件下器件内的PN结更有效的打开,增加器件的浪涌电流能力;
5)本发明在P型阱区间设置N型阱区,当N型阱区的电阻率小于N型外延层的电阻率,且当器件导通时,能明显降低器件的导通电阻。

当本发明器件耐压时,P型阱区6能够分散器件的表面电场,提高器件耐压;在器件导通瞬间,电流会先从肖特基接触的位置经过,同时有电流流过N型高阻区4,这使得P型阱区6与N型高阻区4组成的PN结的压差增加,当压差达到3V时,PN结开启并向N型碳化硅外延层3注入空穴,此时器件彻底地正向导通。
以上对本发明及其实施方式进行了描述,该描述没有限制性,附图中所示的也只是本发明的实施方式之一,实际结构并不局限于此。总而言之如果本领域的普通技术人员受其启示,在不脱离本发明创造宗旨的情况下,不经创造性的设计出与该技术方案相似的结构方式及实施例,均应属于本发明的保护范围。
