Description

一种碳化硅肖特基二极管及其制备方法A silicon carbide Schottky diode and a method for preparing the same

技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及功率半导体器件技术领域,具体涉及一种碳化硅肖特基二极管及其制备方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, and in particular to a silicon carbide Schottky diode and a preparation method thereof.

背景技术Background technique

碳化硅是第三代半导体材料中最具吸引力的材料之一,具有临界电场大、禁带宽度大、高温电子漂移速度高等优点,因此,广泛应用于制作高温、高压、大功率、耐辐照等半导体器件;其中,碳化硅肖特基二极管在电力电子技术中具有整流和续流的作用,因而广泛应用于功率变换电路中。Silicon carbide is one of the most attractive materials among the third-generation semiconductor materials. It has the advantages of large critical electric field, large bandgap width, and high high-temperature electron drift velocity. Therefore, it is widely used in the manufacture of high-temperature, high-voltage, high-power, radiation-resistant and other semiconductor devices; among them, silicon carbide Schottky diodes have the functions of rectification and freewheeling in power electronics technology, and are therefore widely used in power conversion circuits.

目前,碳化硅肖特基二极管大多是采用离子注入技术,并与光刻、刻蚀等工艺结合实现面内可控区域注入;由于碳化硅掺杂剂扩散所需的温度极高,超过2300K,因此,高温离子注入是碳化硅肖特基二极管主要掺杂形成的必要过程。At present, most silicon carbide Schottky diodes use ion implantation technology, combined with lithography, etching and other processes to achieve controllable area implantation within the surface; since the temperature required for the diffusion of silicon carbide dopants is extremely high, exceeding 2300K, high-temperature ion implantation is a necessary process for the main doping formation of silicon carbide Schottky diodes.

现有的碳化硅肖特基二极管P型结以及结终端是由多次垂直高温离子注入及高温退火激活形成,为了防止有源区边缘的电场过于集中,通常采用高温离子注入技术将离子注入在有源区边缘,形成结终端。当器件处于反偏状态时,耗尽区会随着反向电压的不断增大而逐渐发生纵向与横向的扩展,但是,垂直注入方式会使得P型结区边缘凹凸不平,导致注入结边缘的电场强度过大,碳化硅肖特基二极管芯片的反向耐压低以及可靠性差的问题。The existing P-type junction and junction terminal of the silicon carbide Schottky diode are formed by multiple vertical high-temperature ion implantation and high-temperature annealing activation. In order to prevent the electric field at the edge of the active area from being too concentrated, high-temperature ion implantation technology is usually used to implant ions at the edge of the active area to form the junction terminal. When the device is in a reverse bias state, the depletion region will gradually expand vertically and horizontally as the reverse voltage continues to increase. However, the vertical injection method will make the edge of the P-type junction area uneven, resulting in excessive electric field strength at the edge of the injected junction, low reverse withstand voltage and poor reliability of the silicon carbide Schottky diode chip.

发明内容Summary of the invention

因此,本发明要解决的技术问题在于克服现有技术中采用垂直注入方式会使得P型结区边缘凹凸不平,导致注入结边缘的电场强度过大,碳化硅肖特基二极管芯片的反向耐压低以及可靠性差的缺陷,从而提供一种碳化硅肖特基二极管及其制备方法。Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art that the vertical injection method adopted will make the edge of the P-type junction region uneven, resulting in excessive electric field strength at the edge of the injection junction, low reverse withstand voltage and poor reliability of the silicon carbide Schottky diode chip, thereby providing a silicon carbide Schottky diode and a preparation method thereof.

采用安捷伦测试仪与探针台相结合,探针台用于固定碳化硅肖特基二极管,安捷伦测试仪设定的初始电压值为0,电压的增加频率为每测一次增加20V,测试其反向耐压值时,同时获得电流值,并以电压值为横坐标,电流值为纵坐标绘制电流-电压曲线,如图8所示。Agilent tester was combined with a probe station. The probe station was used to fix the silicon carbide Schottky diode. The initial voltage value set by the Agilent tester was 0. The voltage increase frequency was 20V per test. When testing its reverse withstand voltage value, the current value was obtained at the same time, and the current-voltage curve was plotted with the voltage value as the horizontal axis and the current value as the vertical axis, as shown in Figure 8.

由图6-8可知,通过采用旋转角度、分多步高温离子注入的方式使得连接所述第一端部和第二端部且位于P型结侧面上的连线为光滑的弧线的结构,使得注入P型结边缘的电场强度更加均匀,进一步提高碳化硅肖特基二极管芯片的反向耐压特性。As can be seen from Figures 6-8, by adopting a rotating angle and multi-step high-temperature ion implantation method, the connection line connecting the first end and the second end and located on the side of the P-type junction is made into a smooth arc structure, so that the electric field strength injected into the edge of the P-type junction is more uniform, further improving the reverse withstand voltage characteristics of the silicon carbide Schottky diode chip.
