其中,BJT饱和压降低,载流密度大,但驱动电流较大;MOSFET驱动功率很小,开关速度快,但导通压降大,载流密度小。IGBT集MOSFET和BJT的优点于一体,即具有输入阻抗高、开关速度快、热稳定性好,且驱动电路简单,驱动电流小,又具有饱和压降低,耐压高及承受电流大的优点。因此,IGBT非常适合应用于直流电压为600V及以上的变流系统如交流电机、变频器、开关电源、照明电路、牵引传动等领域。
然而现有的IGBT存在耐压特性较差的问题,耐压特性包括IGBT的最大承受反向耐压的水平,可以利用BVCES(collector–emitter blocking voltage)来体现,BVCES是栅极与发射极间短路时,在指定的集电极和发射极的电流作用下,集电极与发射极间能承受的最大反向耐压,最大反向耐压越大,器件的耐压特性越好。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供了一种绝缘栅双极晶体管及其制造方法、电子设备,提高器件的耐压特性。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的内容以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
本申请结合示意图进行详细描述,在详述本申请实施例时,为便于说明,表示器件结构的剖面图会不依一般比例作局部放大,而且所述示意图只是示例,其在此不应限制本申请保护的范围。此外,在实际制作中应包含长度、宽度及深度的三维空间尺寸。
目前,IGBT存在耐压特性较差的问题,耐压特性包括IGBT的最大承受反向耐压的水平,可以利用BV CES来体现,BV CES是栅极与发射极间短路时,在指定的集电极和发射极的电流作用下,集电极与发射极间能承受的最大反向耐压,最大反向耐压越大,器件的耐压特性越好。
随着集电极和发射极之间的电流的增大,最大反向耐压也随之增加,然而当最大反向耐压超过器件的雪崩耐量后,BV CES会发生回退(snap back)的现象,此时随着电流的增大,最大反向耐压反而减小,即显现BV负阻效应,则器件会在器件终端区产生漏电大的现象,随着电流进一步增大,器件放大倍数增加,在该负反馈下,器件发生损坏,最终烧毁。
基于以上技术问题,本申请实施例提供了一种绝缘栅双极晶体管IGBT及其制造方法、电子设备,IGBT包括相对的第一表面和第二表面,在从第一表面向第二表面的方向上,具有依次连接的正面器件区、IGBT漂移区、IGBT缓冲区和IGBT集电极区,其中正面器件区可以包括元胞区和环绕元胞区的终端区,终端区包括环绕元胞区的场板区和环绕场板区的场限环区,IGBT漂移区中具有第一类型的掺杂元素,IGBT缓冲区中具有第一类型的掺杂元素,IGBT缓冲区中的第一类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于IGBT漂移区中的第一类型的掺杂元素的浓度,IGBT集电极区包括元胞集电极区、场板集电极区和场限环集电极区,元胞 集电极区与元胞区在第一表面的投影重合,场板集电极区与场板区在第一表面的投影重合,场限环集电极区与场限环区在第一表面的投影重合,IGBT集电极区中具有第二类型的掺杂元素,在元胞集电极区的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度等于场板集电极区的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度时,场板区往往比元胞区更容易击穿,因此可以设计元胞集电极区的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,也就是说,与元胞区相对的部分集电极区具有较大的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,而与场板区相对的部分集电极区具有较小的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,有效减少场板区寄生三极管的放大倍数,减少器件在承受反向耐压时的漏电值,改善器件的耐压特性以及安全工作区特性,加强器件的鲁棒性,提高器件整体的工作性能。
为使本申请的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本申请的具体实施方式做详细的说明。
IGBT用于实现功率变换,可以应用于功率变换器,适用于直流电压为600V及以上的变流系统,如变频器、交流电机、开关电源、照明电路、牵引传动等领域,还适用于新能源汽车、智能电网、轨道交通等领域。
IGBT模块在电动汽车中发挥着至关重要的作用,是电动汽车充电桩等设备的核心技术部件,IGBT模块占电动汽车成本将近10%,占充电桩成本约20%。IGBT可以应用于电动汽车的电控控制系统,通过大功率直流/交流(DC/AC)逆变后驱动汽车电机;也可以应用于电动汽车的车载空调控制系统,通过小功率直流/交流(DC/AC)逆变,这里可以使用电流较小的IGBT;还可以应用于充电桩,其中IGBT模块被作用开关元件使用。
IGBT广泛应用于智能电网的发电端、输电端、变电端及用电端:从发电端来看,风力发电、光伏发电中的整流器和逆变器都需要使用IGBT模块。从输电端来看,特高压直流输电中柔性交流输电系统(flexible AC transmission systems,FACTS)需要大量使用IGBT等功率器件。从变电端来看,IGBT是电力电子变压器(power electronic transformer,PET)的关键器件。从用电端来看,家用白电、微波炉、发光二极管(light-emitting diode,LED)照明驱动等都对IGBT有大量的需求。
参考图1所示,为本申请实施例中一种智能电网的架构,包括依次连接的太阳能电池板(PV panels)、直流-直流(DC-DC)最大功率点跟踪(maximum power point tracking,MPPT)系统、直流连接(DC link)、直流-交流逆变器(DC-AC inverter)、交流滤波器(AC Filter)、输出端,其中DC-AC逆变器中可以设置有IGBT器件。
IGBT器件已成为轨道交通车辆牵引变流器和各种辅助变流器的主流电力电子器件。交流传动技术是现代轨道交通的核心技术之一,在交流传动系统中牵引变流器是关键部件,而IGBT又是牵引变流器最核心的器件之一。
本申请实施例中,绝缘栅双极晶体管可以包括相对的第一表面A1和第二表面A2,在从第一表面A1到第二表面A2的方向上,依次具有正面器件区1001、IGBT漂移区1002、IGBT缓冲区1003和IGBT集电极区1004。其中,第一表面A1可以作为芯片的正面,第 二表面A2可以作为芯片的背面。
参考图2所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种IGBT的俯视图,即芯片的正面的结构示意图,参考图3所示,为本申请实施例提供的另一种IGBT的结构示意图,图3可以为图2中的IGBT沿AA向的剖视图,为了便于描述,以下说明中,将第一表面A1作为上表面,将第二表面A2作为下表面,即定义了“上”和“下”的位置关系,实际上,这里的“上”和“下”是为了便于描述而定义的,与绝缘栅双极晶体管的放置位置有关,因此这种描述不应该作为对该器件结构的限定。
在半导体器件领域中,可以在半导体中掺入掺杂元素,掺杂元素的类型可以分为P型(空穴型,positive)和N型(电子型,negative),例如可以在半导体中掺杂P型掺杂元素得到P型半导体,这样P型半导体以空穴导电为主,或在半导体中掺杂N型掺杂元素得到N型半导体,这样N型半导体以电子导电为主。掺杂后半导体中掺杂元素的浓度作为掺杂浓度,可以利用掺杂元素和半导体元素的比例表示,也可以利用单位体积内掺杂元素的原子数表示。P型掺杂元素可以为Ⅲ族元素,例如硼、铟等,N型元素可以为Ⅴ族元素,例如氮、磷等。
根据掺杂后半导体中掺杂元素的浓度,可以将对半导体的掺杂分为轻掺杂和重掺杂,对应掺杂后的半导体为轻掺杂半导体和重掺杂半导体。
其中,轻掺杂指掺入的掺杂元素的数量较少,掺杂后半导体中掺杂元素的浓度较低,例如掺杂元素和半导体元素的原子数量比例约为十亿分之一。例如在半导体中轻掺杂P型掺杂元素可以表示为少空穴型(P-型)掺杂,得到P-型半导体;在半导体中轻掺杂N型掺杂元素可以表示为少电子型(N-型)掺杂,得到N-型半导体。
重掺杂指掺入的掺杂元素的数量较多,掺杂后半导体中掺杂元素的浓度较高,例如掺杂元素和半导体元素的原子数量比例约为千分之一。例如在半导体中重掺杂P型掺杂元素可以表示为多空穴型(P+型)掺杂,得到P+型半导体;在半导体中重掺杂N型掺杂元素可以表示为多电子型(N+型)掺杂,得到N+型半导体。

IGBT缓冲区1003设置在IGBT漂移区1002和IGBT集电极区1004之间,其可以作为场截止层,使IGBT为场截止型IGBT(field stop IGBT,FS-IGBT)。场截止层的作用有三点:1)截止正向电场,相比于没有场截止层的结构而言,同样的厚度能够承受更大的压降;2)减小漂移区的厚度,实现薄片化,降低导通损耗;3)减少注入少子空穴的存储空间,降低关断时间和损耗。
其中,第一类型的掺杂元素和第二类型的掺杂元素为不同类型的掺杂元素,二者分别为P型和N型,掺杂第一类型的掺杂元素的半导体具有第一导电类型,掺杂第二类型的掺杂元素的半导体具有第二导电类型,第一导电类型和第二导电类型为不同的导电类型,掺杂P型掺杂元素的半导体的导电类型为P型,掺杂N型掺杂元素的半导体的导电类型为N型,作为一种示例,第一导电类型可以为N型,第二导电类型可以为P型,则基区103导电类型为P,第一发射区104导电类型为N,第二发射区105导电类型为P,第一场环区211和第二场环区221的导电类型为P型,IGBT漂移区1002的导电类型为N,IGBT缓冲区1003的导电类型为N,IGBT集电极区1004的导电类型为P。

参考图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种IGBT的静态特性的示意图,IGBT的静态特性主要包括转移特性和输出特性。
其中,IGBT的转移特性用于描述IGBT集电极电流Ic与栅-射电压V GE(U GE)之间的关系,参考图4A所示,为本申请实施例中一种IGBT的转移特性曲线,横坐标为U GE,纵坐标为I C,开启电压U GE(th)是IGBT能实现电导调制而导通的最低栅--射电压,在U GE大于开启电压时,IGBT导通从而具有正向的I C,且I C随着U GE逐渐增大。
IGBT的输出特性也称为伏安特性,描述以栅-射电压为参变量时,集电极电流I C与集- 射电压V CE(U CE)之间的关系,参考图4B所示,为本申请实施例中一种IGBT的输出特性曲线,横坐标为U CE,纵坐标为I C,不同的曲线(1、2、3、4、5)分布对应依次增长的U GE,IGBT的输出特性分为三个区域:正向阻断区Ⅲ、有源区Ⅱ和饱和区Ⅰ,在IGBT处于正向阻断区时,IGBT截止。在IGBT处于有源区时,I C随着U CE和U GE的增长而增长,且I C随着U CE增长幅度较小。在IGBT处于饱和区Ⅰ时,I C随着U CE和U GE的增长而增长,且I C增长幅度较大。当V CE(U CE)<0时,IGBT为反向阻断状态。在电力电子电路中,IGBT在开关状态工作,在正向阻断区Ⅲ和饱和区Ⅰ之间转换。
参考图5所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种IGBT的安全工作区的示意图,其中横坐标为集-射电压V CE(U CE),纵坐标为I C,安全工作区(safe operation area,SOA)反映了一个功率器件同时承受一定电压和电流的能力,反向偏置安全工作区(Reverse Bias Safe Operation Area,RBSOA),由反向最大集电极电流、最大集电极-发射极间电压和最大允许电压上升率dV CE/dt确定,从图中可以看出,在重复脉冲作用下,RBSOA在I C≤200V且V CE≤1200V的区域范围内,这个区域表示栅偏压为零或负值但因空穴电流没有消失而存在时的关断瞬态。
IGBT还具有一定的性能参数,在其使用过程中需要在其最小或最大极限能力或极限条件的范围内,IGBT工作过程中不能超过最高会最低额定值,其主要的参数如下:
Collector–Emitter blocking voltage(BVCES):栅极与发射极间短路时,集电极与发射极间的最大电压;
Gate–Emitter voltage(VGES):集电极与发射极短路时,栅极与发射极间最大电压;
Continuous collector current(IC):集电极所允许的最大直流电流。一般指结温从25℃的壳体温度升到150℃的最大结温时所需的直流电流值。
Peak collector repetitive current(ICM):一般指在瞬态条件下,IGBT能够承受比其最大连续电流更高的峰值电流。
Maximum power dissipation(PD):此参数表示在25℃的壳体温度下,将结温提高到最大值150℃所需的功率耗散。
Junction temperature(Tj):IGBT结温在工作时的允许范围。
Collector–Emitter leakage current(ICES):栅极与发射极短路时,在集电极、发射极间加上指定的电压和指定的温度时的漏电流。
Gate–Emitter threshold voltage(VGE(th)):该参数定义了栅极-发射极的电压范围,在此范围内,IGBT导通。阈值电压具有负温度系数。阈值电压随栅极氧化层厚度线性增加,与P型基区掺杂浓度的平方根成正比。氧化物-硅界面间的固定表面电荷和栅氧中的可移动离子会导致阈值电压的偏移。
Collector–Emitter saturation voltage(VCE(SAT)):在指定的集电极电流和栅极电压的情况下,集电极与发射极间的电压。
Input capacitance(Cies):当集电极对发射极短路时,测得的栅极-发射极电容。输入电容为栅极发射极与米勒电容之和。栅极-发射极电容比米勒电容大得多。
Output capacitance(Coes):栅极对发射极短路时集电极与发射极之间的电容,具有典型 的PN结电压相关性。
Reverse transfer capacitance(Cres):栅极与集电极之间的米勒电容,具有复杂的电压依赖性。
具有场截止层的IGBT存在耐压特性较差的问题,耐压特性包括IGBT的最大承受反向耐压的水平,可以利用BV CES来体现,BV CES是栅极与发射极间短路时,在指定的集电极和发射极的电流作用下,集电极与发射极间能承受的最大反向耐压,最大反向耐压越大,器件的耐压特性越好。
随着集电极和发射极之间的电流的增大,最大反向耐压也随之增加,然而当最大反向耐压超过器件的雪崩耐量后,BV CES会发生回退(snap back)的现象,此时随着电流的增大,最大反向耐压反而减小,即显现BV负阻效应,则器件会在器件终端区20产生漏电大的现象,随着电流进一步增大,器件放大倍数增加,在该负反馈下,器件发生损坏,最终烧毁。
参考图6所示,为本申请实施例中一种负阻效应的示意图,横坐标为VCES,纵坐标为ICES,在ICES为20nA时,VCES为1100V(三角形所在位置),在最大反向耐压超过器件的雪崩耐量后,随着电流的增大,最大反向耐压反而减小,参考左侧虚线,在ICES增加到1mA时,VCES为1100V回退到1100V,在出现BV负阻效应后,SOA特性相应减小。在没有BV CES回退现象,即不显现BV负阻效应时,随着电流的增大,最大反向耐压也逐渐增大,参考右侧虚线。
在反向耐压时,PNP晶体管的放大倍数与发射区的扩散系数DE/基区宽度WB/基区注入剂量NB呈反相关,而与基区的扩散系数DB/发射区的宽度WE/发射区的注入剂量NE呈正相关,如下公式所示:
Figure PCTCN2022100066-appb-000001
PNP晶体管的发射区可以作为IGBT集电极区,因此可以通过降低PNP晶体管的发射区的注入剂量,或增加PNP晶体管的基区的注入剂量和/或宽度来减小基区宽度,从而降低PNP晶体管的放大倍数,即可以通过降低IGBT集电极区1004的注入剂量,或增加IGBT缓冲区1003的掺杂浓度/宽度等方式来减小IGBT的基区宽度,从而降低IGBT的放大倍数,达到抑制负阻的目的。然而该方案调整是对器件整体性的改变,降低放大倍数的同时也会影响到BV耐压的整体水平,抑或提高器件的饱和电压,导致通态损耗的增加。具体的,IGBT背面在进行空穴注入时,是通过对整个背面区域进行空穴的注入,各区域注入的离子浓度都完全一致。
目前,还可以对元胞区10的背面进行空穴注入时,将每个元胞区10进行一分为二的不同空穴浓度的注入,从而减小发射极108与集电极之间的漏电,同时降低关断损耗,提升产品的RBSOA特性(反向偏置安全工作区)。该技术的缺点在于:虽然对每个元胞都进行了半边的分区,空穴的差异注入后,器件的饱和压降会由于元胞区10另外半边的薄P型注入被拉高,增加了静态损耗。
在IGBT中,IGBT集电极区1004和IGBT缓冲区1003掺杂有不同类型的掺杂元素, 则二者界面处形成PN结,IGBT集电极区1004背离IGBT缓冲区1003的表面与PN结之间的距离作为该PN结的结深,PN结的结深受IGBT集电极区1004的掺杂深度以及PN结厚度影响,在IGBT集电极区1004的掺杂深度一定的情况下,PN结越薄,PN结的结深越深,PN结越容易被击穿。针对IGBT集电极区1004和IGBT缓冲区1003之间的PN结,IGBT的结构特性使终端区20的结深相较于元胞区10的结深更深,在反向耐压时,电场击穿点会集中在终端区20的PN结处,而参考图3所示,当纵向承受反向耐压时,器件中的电场分布可以利用带箭头的实线表示,在终端区20的PN结所在区域同时存在横向和纵向的击穿路径,较容易击穿。由于IGBT的器件本征特性,在纵向上存在寄生的PNP三极管,但背面的空穴注入的浓度直接影响到饱和压降(VCESAT),过浓的背面空穴注入会使得PN结更薄,三极管的放大倍数增加,导致器件的snapback加剧,引起BV击穿的负阻效应,最终影响器件的使用性能。
此外,场板区21下的区域是电场强度最集中的区域,针对该区域的漏电流控制可以有效控制器件整体漏电流。因此,根据寄生晶体管的击穿特性,可以调整PNP的场板区21下的区域的注入剂量,降低场板集电极区219的空穴注入浓度,令元胞集电极区131的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,通过上述PNP晶体管的放大倍数与发射区和基区的函数关系,可知降低正对场板区21下的P集电极的注入剂量,可以针对性地减小场板区21三极管的放大倍数。也就是说,本申请实施例中,通过对元胞集电极区131和场板集电极区219注入不同浓度的空穴,进行局部的漏电流控制,针对性的降低放大倍数,从而能够在不影响器件的饱和压降的水平的前提下,改善器件的耐压能力,消除BV负阻现象,提高器件的可靠性。
具体的,终端集电极区可以具有均匀的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,即场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度等于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,则元胞集电极区131的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,同时大于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,参考图7所示,为本申请实施例提供的又一种IGBT的结构示意图,当纵向承受反向耐压时,器件中的电场分布可以利用带箭头的实线表示,场板集电极区219和场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度较低时,场板集电极区219和第二缓冲区218之间的PN结所在区域、场限环集电极区229和第三缓冲区228之间的PN结所在区域的横向击穿路径得到了抑制,较不容易击穿,相应的,场板集电极区219和场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度较低时,利于增大场板集电极区219和第一缓冲区121之间的PN结的厚度,以及场限环集电极区229和第二缓冲区218之间的PN结的厚度,降低终端集电极区和IGBT缓冲区1003之间的PN结的结深,使该处的PN结更不易击穿。例如元胞集电极区131的掺杂为重掺杂,掺杂量级为1E13~1E14cm -3(即10 12~10 14cm -3),场板集电极区219和场限环集电极区229的掺杂为轻掺杂,掺杂量级为1E12~1E13(即10 12~10 13cm -3)。
具体的,终端集电极区可以具有不均匀的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,例如场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度小于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,而元胞集电极区131的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219的第二类 型的掺杂元素的浓度,此外,元胞集电极区131的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度可以等于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,也可以大于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度。参考图8所示,为本申请实施例提供的还一种IGBT的结构示意图,当纵向承受反向耐压时,器件中的电场分布可以利用带箭头的实线表示,场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度较低时,场板集电极区219和第二缓冲区218之间的PN结所在区域的横向击穿路径得到了抑制,较不容易击穿,相应的,场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度较低时,利于增大场板集电极区219和第一缓冲区121之间的PN结的宽度,降低该PN结的结深,使该处的PN结更不易击穿。例如元胞集电极区131和场限环集电极区229的掺杂为重掺杂,第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度量级为1E13~1E14cm -3(即10 12~10 14cm -3),场板集电极区219的掺杂为轻掺杂,第二类型的掺杂元素的量级为1E12~1E13cm -3(即10 12~10 13cm -3)。

S104,遮挡场板集电极区219,对IGBT集电极区1004进行第二类型的掺杂元素的第二次掺杂,参考图7、图8、图13和图14。
本申请实施例中,在对IGBT集电极区1004进行第二类型的掺杂元素的第一次掺杂后,可以遮挡场板集电极区219,对IGBT集电极区1004进行第二类型的掺杂元素的第二次掺杂,这样元胞集电极区131的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,通过上述PNP晶体管的放大倍数与发射区和基区的函数关系,可知降低正对场板区21下的P集电极的注入剂量,可以针对性地减小场板区21三极管的放大倍数。也就是说,本申请实施例中,通过对元胞集电极区131和场板集电极区219注入不同浓度的空穴,进行局部的漏电流控制,针对性的降低放大倍数,从而能够在不影响器件 的饱和压降的水平的前提下,改善器件的耐压能力,消除BV负阻现象,提高器件的可靠性。
具体的,终端集电极区可以具有均匀的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,即场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度等于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,则元胞集电极区131的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,同时大于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,参考图7所示,则遮挡场板集电极区219的同时,还可以遮挡场限环集电极区229,即遮挡场板集电极区,对IGBT集电极区进行第二类型的掺杂元素的第二次掺杂,以使元胞集电极区131中的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219中的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,可以具体为,遮挡场板集电极区219和场限环集电极区229,对IGBT集电极区1004进行第二类型的掺杂元素的第二次掺杂,以使元胞集电极区131的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,且大于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,当然,场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度等于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度。
具体的,终端集电极区可以具有不均匀的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,例如场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度小于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,而元胞集电极区131的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,同时可以等于场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,参考图8所示,则遮挡场板集电极区219,对IGBT集电极区1004进行第二次掺杂后,元胞集电极区的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板区的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度,场限环集电极区229的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度大于场板集电极区219的第二类型的掺杂元素的浓度。这是因为场板区21下的区域是电场强度最集中的区域,针对该区域的漏电流控制可以有效控制器件整体漏电流。
具体实施时,第二次掺杂的掺杂浓度大于第一次掺杂的掺杂浓度,具体的,第一次掺杂可以为轻掺杂,第二次掺杂可以为重掺杂。场板集电极区219可以利用光罩遮挡,在遮挡场板集电极区219的同时对场限环集电极区229的遮挡也可以利用同一光罩。
在对IGBT集电极区1004进行第二次掺杂后,可以在第二表面形成集电极240,集电极240的材料可以为导电性较好的此案例,例如金属材料,集电极240与IGBT集电极区1004连接,参考图13和图14所示。
