The power semiconductor of the L shaped source area of tool
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of power semiconductor device structure, refer to the power semiconductor device structure of the L shaped source area of a kind of tool especially.
Background technology
In recent years, power semiconductor, mos field effect transistor (metaloxide semiconductor field effect transistor for example, MOSFET), insulated gate isolation-type bipolar transistor (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, IGBT), junction field effect transistor (Junction FieldEffect Transistor, JFET) or rectifier diode (Rectifier) etc., on its operating characteristics and manufacturing process, all obtained extremely good progress.Yet in order further to improve Devices Characteristics and to reduce manufacturing cost, a kind of main trend wherein promptly is to utilize so-called trench-gate technology (trench-gatedtechnology) to finish.Yet when utilizing this trench-gate technology, unit born of the same parents' spacing (cellpitch) can be dwindled in this device, and the gully density of device (device channel density) can increase significantly.The power loss of like this one low conducting state can be by forming low on-resistance (on-resistance) or hanging down forward pressure drop (forward drop voltage) and reach.
Yet unfortunately in case the gully density that increases power semiconductor just can cause usually this device the safety operation scope (safe operation area, SOA) and durability (Ruggedness) reduce.In order to solve this negative effect, must design with a point-device manufacturing process management and control at source area (source) (as the N+ zone of N type raceway groove) and this tagma (body) (P+ zone of N type raceway groove), and carry out suitable injecting program.This tagma of the N+ type source area of perfect condition and P+ type is in conjunction with causing this tagma/well region of P+ type (as the p type island region of N type raceway groove) to obtain a minimum resistance, and (bipolar junction transistors BJT) can obtain a low-down common emitter current gain (common emitter current gain) by parasitism (parasitic) bipolar junction transistor that a N+ type source area, this tagma of P+ type/P type well region and N type epitaxial loayer are constituted.Yet in order to obtain above-mentioned characteristic, this N+ type source area must be entirely that this tagma of P+ type coats and the threshold voltage (threshold voltage) that do not increase device, and this this tagma of P+ type also need have enough degree of depth under the prerequisite of the puncture voltage that does not reduce device (breakdown voltage).
See also Fig. 1, it discloses a known flush type trench-gate power semiconductor device structure.As shown in the figure, the structure of this power semiconductor comprises N-type epitaxial substrate 11, P type well region 12, this tagma 13 of P+ type, trench-gate 14, grid oxic horizon 15, N+ type source area 16, dielectric insulation layer 17 and metal level 18.Wherein, P type well region 12 is formed in the N-type epitaxial substrate 11, and this tagma 13 of P+ type is formed on the P type well region 12.In addition, trench-gate 14 is formed at the both sides of P type well region 12, and wherein the sidewall of this trench-gate 14 and bottom surface also form this grid oxic horizon 15.In addition, N+ type source area 16 is formed at the both sides in this tagma 13 of P+ type.Dielectric insulation layer 17 is formed on trench-gate 14 and the part N+ type source area 16, and definition has a contact hole.Metal level 18 is formed on dielectric insulation layer 17, this tagma 13 of P+ type and the N+ type source area 16, and is connected with this N+ type source area 16 via this contact hole, to form this power semiconductor.Wherein, this tagma 13 of P+ type all has the darker degree of depth than N+ type source area 16, and this tagma 13 of P+ type also has enough width to coat N+ type source area 16 as much as possible.
Similarly Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 also disclose other known power semiconductor device structure.Device architecture shown in Figure 2 is similar haply to device architecture shown in Figure 1, has only N+ type source area 16 to be formed on this tagma 13 of P+ type and on the part P type well region 12.In addition, device architecture shown in Figure 3 is also similar haply to device architecture shown in Figure 1, has only N+ type source area 16 to be formed on this tagma 13 of part P+ type and the part P type well region 12.In Fig. 2 and device architecture shown in Figure 3, this tagma 13 of P+ type also has the darker degree of depth than N+ source area 16, and this tagma 13 of P+ type also has enough width to coat N+ type source area 16 as much as possible.Above-mentioned three kinds of different N+ type source areas 16 and these tagma 13 configurations of P+ type all can be existing trench-gate technology (trench-gated technology) make.Yet these known technologies but have two shortcomings.At first, because this tagma 13 of P+ type gets deeply than N+ type source area 16, this channel region is exposed to this tagma 13 of P+ type, and then the alloy in P+ zone will enter this raceway groove easily and cause threshold voltage (threshold voltage) higher and that can't control.On the other hand, depletion region (depletionregion) distribution in the P+ zone will be limited in dark this tagma 13 of P+ type of injecting.Therefore when the degree of depth in this tagma 13 of P+ type increases, the puncture voltage of device (breakdown voltage) will be limited, even be reduced.
In view of known power semiconductor, its puncture voltage (breakdown voltage) is can be because of the degree of depth in this tagma limited even reduce, and its threshold voltage (threshold voltage) also can influence raceway groove because of the alloy of P+ type regional structure, cause integral device electrically thereby be affected.Therefore, how under the prerequisite that does not increase equipment cost, carry out the change and the adjustment of device architecture,, just become the problem of solution that those skilled in the art press for to improve the shortcoming of known technology.
