本申请涉及半导体器件及半导体工艺技术领域,尤其涉及一种功率半导体器件及制造方法。
功率半导体器件以功率金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(功率MOSFET,常简写为功率MOS)、绝缘栅双极晶体管(IGBT)以及功率集成电路(power IC,常简写为PIC)为主。这些器件或集成电路能在很高的频率下工作,而电路在高频工作时能更节能、节材,能大幅减少设备体积和重量。尤其是集成度很高的单片片上功率系统(power system on a chip,简写PSOC),它能把传感器件与电路、信号处理电路、接口电路、功率器件和电路等集成在一个硅芯片上,使其具有按照负载要求精密调节输出和按照过热、过压以及过流等情况进行自我保护的功能。

发明内容
有鉴于此,本申请提供了一种半导体器件及其制造方法,以减小半导体器件的单位面积导通电阻,减少芯片面积,降低器件功率损耗。
可选的,该半导体器件为功率半导体器件。应当知道的是,该半导体器件的具体产品形态还可以是功率半导体器件之外的其他形态,此处不再限定。
为了达到上述发明目的,本申请采用了如下技术方案:

在介绍本申请具体实施方式之前,首先介绍描述本申请具体实施方式时用到的缩略语、中英文对照以及关键术语定义。
表1:缩略语、中英文对照表
关键术语定义
沟道:是指场效应晶体管中源区和漏区之间的一薄半导体层。
元胞:构成功率半导体器件的最小单元,功率半导体器件包括多个并联的元胞。
N-阱区:低浓度N型掺杂区域。
漂移区:是指在漂移运动和扩散作用的双重影响下,PN结中载流子数量非常少的一个高电阻区域。
外延层:是指生长沉积在衬底上的半导体层。
场板:是半导体终端技术的常用方法之一,它通过改变表面电势分布使曲面结的曲率半径增大,抑制表面电场集中。
耗尽层:是在PN结附近,其中的载流子因扩散而耗尽,只留下不能移动的正负离子的区域,又称空间电荷区。
RESURF技术:降低表面电场(Reduced Surface Field)的技术,是在设计横向高压、低导通电阻器件中最为广泛使用的技术。
随着手持电子设备的发展,由于设备空间的限制,对电子元器件提出了高密度,高集成度,小型化,以及高性能低成本等方面的要求。其使用的功率半导体器件主要包括两种类型:分立方案器件和集成方案器件。分立方案器件存在的问题是集成度低,芯片高度过高,以及成本高。集成方案器件存在的问题是导通电阻过大,损耗严重,或者芯片面积过大,成本难以接受。
业界常见的一种功率半导体器件的结构是将两个相同结构的MOS器件串联在一起。该结构对应的器件元胞剖面结构图和符号图分别如图1和图2所示。
两个MOS器件的源级11短接在一起,栅级121和122短接在一起,两个漏极131和132分别作为器件的输入端和输出端,控制信号通过栅极121和122控制两个MOS器件沟道同时开通或者关闭。关断情况下,两个MOS的漏极131和132实现双向阻断耐压(双向阻断耐压是指,两个漏极131和132中,无论哪一个接电源正极,哪一个接电源负极,都能实现阻断耐压),在开通的情况下,电流从一个MOS的漏极131流向另外一个MOS的漏极132,电流路径如图1中箭头所示。器件的总导通电阻是单个MOS器件的2倍(单个MOS的导通电阻=漂移区导通电阻R
drift+沟道电阻R
ch+源极电阻R
source)。这种功率半导体器件的明显缺点有:1,导通的情况下,电流流经路线上通过两个MOS沟道,沟道电阻大;2,器件源级区域的面积不但增加了器件的导通电阻,而且浪费了芯片面积;3,表面场板技术,漂移区横向宽度受击穿电压的限制,占整个元胞尺寸的比例很大。
为了降低器件导通电阻,缩小芯片面积,在业界常见的功率半导体器件的基础上,优化了器件结构。该优化后的器件结构的元胞剖面示意图如图3A所示,该优化后的器件结构的器件符号示意图如图3B所示。该方案根据双向耐压MOS器件的特性,针对业界常见的功率半导体器件的明显缺点,把两个栅级合并为单个栅级31,从而实现单个沟道,同时去除源区结构,减除源区面积。降低器件的导通电阻,缩小芯片面积。
这种方案采用常规的LDMOS结构,缺点是为了减少表面电场强度,提高器件的耐压能力,必须采用表面场板技术,场板的长度、漂移区32长度和浓度决定器件的耐压能力。要实现较高的耐压,必需采用低掺杂且较长的漂移区,这样将会增加了器件元胞尺寸,且会 增加了漂移区的电阻。应当知道的是,器件导通电阻较高,会导致电流密度较低。图3A所示的耐压器件双边漂移区长度之和占元胞尺寸的80%,漂移区电阻占导通电阻60%左右。
为了减小功率半导体器件单位面积的导通电阻,减少芯片面积。本申请通过沟槽栅结构,在沟槽的底部设置沟道,通过纵向场板以及纵向P-N结构的双纵向RESURF技术,以实现减少元胞漂移区尺寸和增加漂移区浓度的目的,进而达到缩小元胞尺寸和减少漂移区电阻的效果。换句话说,本申请利用传统低成本制造技术,实现具有低导通电阻和高可靠性的双向耐压的MOS型开关器件。
下面结合附图描述本申请实施例提供的功率半导体器件的具体实现方式。首先参见实施例一。

位于沟槽53两侧的漂移区57内的第一漏极581和第二漏极582;
以及P型沟道59,P型沟道59位于沟槽53底壁与衬底51之间且邻近沟槽53底壁的区域。
需要说明,在本申请实施例中,沟槽53位于外延层52中且靠近外延层52的外表面区域,且该沟槽53的开口朝向外延层52的外表面。
作为示例,沟槽53的具体结构可以如下:沿外延层52的厚度方向,沟槽53可以包括主体部531和自主体部531延伸出的且朝衬底51凸出的凸出部532。应当理解,主体部531的宽度大于凸出部532的宽度。也可以按照以下方式理解该沟槽53的结构:该沟槽为凸形槽,该凸形槽的凸出部朝向衬底方向凸出,且该凸形槽的开口朝向外延层的上表面。
当沟槽53为凸形槽时,相应地,场氧化层55可以包括沿主体部531侧壁的第一场氧化层551和沿凸出部532侧壁的第二场氧化层552;而且,为了在保证耐压的前提下,减小半导体器件的导通电阻,该第一场氧化层551的厚度大于第二场氧化层552的厚度。
此外,当沟槽53为凸形槽时,相应地,N型漂移区57位于凹槽主体部531和凸出部532的外围。

作为示例,栅极54沿外延层厚度方向的宽度可以一致。作为另一示例,栅极沿外延层厚度方向的宽度也可以不一致,如此,沿外延层厚度方向,栅极54可以包括第一部分和从第一部分向沟槽53的底壁延伸的第二部分,第一部分的宽度大于所述第二部分的宽度。并且栅极的第一部分位于沟槽的主体部531内,栅极的第二部分位于沟槽的凸出部532内。
作为另一示例,栅极54可以为多晶硅栅极。
此外,为了实现功率半导体器件的双向耐压,作为一示例,第一漏极581和第二漏极582对称分布在沟槽53的两侧。
如图5所示,本体电极510位于外延层52内且靠近外延层52的外表面。该本体电极510可以通过向外延层52内离子注入P型掺杂杂质形成。该本体电极510也可以理解为通过离子注入形成在外延层52中的P型浅阱。
如图4和图5所示,本申请实施例一提供的一种功率半导体器件包括多个并联的的元胞50和本体电极510,其中,本体电极510位于元胞50的外围区域。也就是说,元胞50位于本体电极510的围合区域内。需要说明,在本申请实施例中,可以一个元胞50位于本体电极510的围合区域内,也可以多个元胞50位于本体电极510的围合区域内。另外,被本体电极510围合的元胞50共用一个本体电极。为了提高功率半导体器件的元胞密度,进而提高功率半导体器件的功率,作为一可选实施例,本体电极510位于所有元胞50的外围区域,也就是说,所有元胞50被一个本体电极510包围,该所有元胞50共用一个本体电极510。
需要说明,在图4中,示出该功率半导体器件包括N个并联的元胞50,N为大于或等于2的整数。
值得注意的是,本发明实施例对功率半导体器件限定,比如该功率半导体包括衬底和外延层,该外延层具有沟槽、沟道和漂移区,该漂移区具有第一漏极和第二漏极,以及,该沟槽内具有栅极,且该沟槽的内壁和该栅极的外壁之间具有氧化层,可以理解为是对位于该功率半导体器件内的元胞的结构的限定。
需要说明的是,在本实施例中,所述衬底、所述外延层和所述沟道的掺杂类型均为P型,且所述漂移区、所述第一漏极和所述第二漏极的掺杂类型均为N型。
可选的,所述衬底、所述外延层和所述沟道的掺杂类型均为N型,且所述漂移区、所述第一漏极和所述第二漏极的掺杂类型均为P型。
作为本申请的另一示例,为了实现器件的小型化,如图7或图33所示的器件产品正面示意图,器件的栅极54、第一漏极581、第二漏极582、本体电极510的电极均引出到器件的上表面,通过表面植球的方式实现信号传输。然后,采用晶圆级芯片封装(WLCSP)实现最终器件产品。
需要说明的是,图7或图33中的附图标记用于表示对应电极的外部管脚,例如附图标记510用于表示本体电极510的外部管脚,附图标记54用于表示栅极54的外部管脚, 附图标记581用于表示第一漏极581的外部管脚,附图标记582用于表示第二漏极582的外部管脚。
值得注意的是,如图7或图33所示,一列第一漏极581之后是一列第二漏极582,也即,多个第一漏极581形成的列和多个第二漏极582形成的列是交替排列的。相对于传统的,一列或多列第一漏极581位于栅极54的一侧,一列或多列第二漏极582位于栅极54的另一侧。图7或图33中所示的这种排列方式,由于第一漏极581和第二漏极582的管脚之间的距离变小,因此能够减小金属走线的寄生电阻。
作为示例,本申请采用晶圆级芯片封装方式形成的最终器件产品立体示意图如图8所示。
如图8所示,该封装结构包括芯片81以及位于芯片81背面的背面涂层82。该芯片81的正面上设置有多个焊球811,用于与外部实现信号传输。
WLCSP器件高度约为0.5mm(其中背面图层约为0.04mm,硅片厚度约为0.25mm,焊球高度0.2mm),只有塑封器件高度的一半。WLCSP器件的散热效果也优于同等尺寸的塑封器件,如2mmx2mm 25球的WLCSP器件热阻Rja约为30℃/W,仅为同大小塑封封装的一半。
以上为本申请实施例一提供的一种功率半导体器件的具体实现方式。在该具体实现方式中,该功率半导体器件为无源极的MOS结构,该源极区域的去除,有利于减小元胞尺寸,元胞尺寸的减小,有利于降低功率半导体器件的单位面积导通电阻。
而且,该功率半导体器件为单沟道(如图5所示的沟道59)结构,该单沟道的设置,有利于减少沟道电阻,降低元胞导通电阻。
此外,在该功率半导体器件中,场氧化层设置在外延层(器件本体)内部,形成体内纵向场板(纵向场氧化层),而且,功率半导体器件中的漂移区57和外延层52形成体内纵向PN结(体内纵向二极管)。因此,本申请采用体内纵向场板以及体内纵向P/N结的双RESURF技术,极大地减少了芯片面积。
需要说明的是,前一段所谓的纵向是指所述衬底的厚度方向,或所述外延层的厚度方向,或所述沟槽的深度方向。
而且,相比常规LDMOS技术,该器件体内纵向二极管的形成,使得该器件无表面强电场问题,无需表面场板技术,有利于减小漂移区的横向尺寸,进而减小元胞尺寸。此外,该器件采用纵向栅极场氧化层,利用电荷平衡机理,有利于提高漂移区的浓度,进而减小漂移区电阻,从而减小元胞导通电阻。
综上,本申请提供的功率半导体器件,能够减小功率半导体器件的单位面积导通电阻,减少芯片面积,降低器件功率损耗。

以及设置于沟槽173下方的P型沟道1710。
为了形成较多的本体电极,进而提高元胞的电流均流性,在本申请实施例中,所述器件还可以包括形成于P型阱区174中的本体电极1711。该本体电极1711形成于P型阱区174中且靠近P型阱区174的外表面。该本体电极1711的掺杂类型为P型。如此,在每个元胞上均形成有一个本体电极,形成具有本体电极的元胞,如此,会提高元胞间内的电流均流性。
而且,为了提高器件的耐压性能,作为本申请的一可选实施例,在P型阱区174的周围可以设置有场氧化层176。
需要说明,在本申请实施例中,P型沟道1710和P型阱区174可以同时形成,两者可以为一体成型结构,其可以通过从外延层表面的部分区域注入掺杂离子形成。可以认为,P型沟道1710和P型阱区174分别是通过从外延层表面的部分区域注入P型掺杂离子形成的P型阱区的不同部分。该具体实现方式会在该功率半导体器件的制造方法中详细描述。

此外,为了在保证器件耐压的前提下,进一步减小器件单位面积的导通电阻,作为本申请的一可选实施例,沟槽173沿外延层厚度方向的宽度也可以不一致。如此,在该示例下,沟槽173为凸形槽。该可选实施例的半导体器件的结构如图18至图20所示。

当沟槽173为凸形槽时,相应地,场氧化176可以包括沿主体部1731侧壁的第一场氧化层1761和沿凸出部1732侧壁的第二场氧化层1762;而且,为了减小半导体器件的导通电阻,该第一场氧化层1761的厚度大于第二场氧化层1762的厚度。
此外,当沟槽173为凸形槽时,相应地,N型漂移区178位于凹槽主体部1731和凸出部1732的外围。
需要说明,在本申请实施例中,第一场氧化层1761可以采用氧化物沉积工艺沉积二氧化硅形成。第二场氧化层1762可以采用热氧化方式生成。
作为进一步示例,第二场氧化层1762可以与栅氧化层177同时形成。

本发明实施例二还提供了一种28V双向阻断沟槽横向MOS型半导体器件的导通电阻的测量(仿真计算)实验。该测量(仿真计算)实验的仿真条件为:沟道、第二漏极1792同时接电平底,栅极电压为固定值3.6V或者5V,仿真第一漏极1791电压和电流的I-V特性,利用公式R=V/I计算器件第一漏极1791到第二漏极1792的导通电阻。仿真计算结果如图24所示,器件单位面积导通电阻在5V栅极驱动电压下为9.5mΩ.mm2,在3.6V栅极驱动电压下为12mΩ.mm2。
基于上述仿真实验结果可知,本申请实施例二提供的功率半导体器件的单位面积导通电阻大大降低。通过以下实验数据可以进一步验证该效果:业界商用最优的传统30V双向阻断横向MOS器件,其单位面积导通电阻为19mΩ.mm2@栅极驱动电压=3.6V,本申请实施例二单位面积的导通电阻为12mΩ.mm2,相比业界商用最优器件减少37%。
