本发明涉及半导体领域,具体地涉及一种碳化硅与硅异质结的LDMOS器件、一种碳化硅与硅异质结的LDMOS器件的制造方法以及一种功率芯片。The present invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and specifically relates to an LDMOS device of silicon carbide and silicon heterojunction, a manufacturing method of an LDMOS device of silicon carbide and silicon heterojunction, and a power chip.
背景技术Background technique
近年来随着清洁能源的蓬勃发展,相关的电力电子器件对工作电压和功率密度等指标提出了更高要求。传统的Si基LDMOS(Lateral Double-diffused MOSFET,横向双扩散金属氧化物半导体场效应管)功率器件因Si材料的禁带宽度、温度特性、临界击穿电场等特性所限制,不利于进一步提升性能。SiC材料相较于Si材料具有宽禁带、高击穿场强、高饱和电子速度、高热导率、良好的化学稳定性、强抗辐照能力等特性,是实现高性能功率器件的理想材料,而利用单一SiC外延衬底制成的LDMOS器件成本高,且与传统的Si基半导体工艺兼容性差,不利于提高器件集成度。In recent years, with the vigorous development of clean energy, related power electronic devices have put forward higher requirements for indicators such as operating voltage and power density. Traditional Si-based LDMOS (Lateral Double-diffused MOSFET, lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) power devices are limited by the bandgap width, temperature characteristics, critical breakdown electric field and other characteristics of the Si material, which is not conducive to further improvement of performance. . Compared with Si materials, SiC materials have characteristics such as wide bandgap, high breakdown field strength, high saturation electron velocity, high thermal conductivity, good chemical stability, and strong radiation resistance. It is an ideal material for realizing high-performance power devices. , and LDMOS devices made using a single SiC epitaxial substrate are high in cost and have poor compatibility with traditional Si-based semiconductor processes, which is not conducive to improving device integration.
LDMOS器件的击穿电压和导通电阻是最重要的电学参数,提高击穿电压,降低导通电阻是重要指标。现有技术中,通过在LDMOS漂移区表面设置浅槽隔离结构(STI)或者场氧化层结构,来提高器件的击穿电压,但同时也会带来导通电阻增大的问题,并且STI隔离槽或场氧化层结构与Si衬底界面处Si-SiO2的界面态积累,会引起器件性能的长期退化。The breakdown voltage and on-resistance of LDMOS devices are the most important electrical parameters. Increasing the breakdown voltage and reducing the on-resistance are important indicators. In the existing technology, the breakdown voltage of the device is increased by arranging a shallow trench isolation structure (STI) or a field oxide layer structure on the surface of the LDMOS drift region, but it also causes the problem of increased on-resistance, and STI isolation The accumulation of Si-SiO2 interface states at the interface between the trench or field oxide layer structure and the Si substrate will cause long-term degradation of device performance.
如何利用SiC材料特性对LDMOS结构进行改进,以及如何在传统的Si基半导体工艺基础,利用SiC材料制作LDMOS器件,来提高器件的击穿电压并降低导通电阻,是目前亟需解决的问题。How to use the characteristics of SiC materials to improve the LDMOS structure, and how to use SiC materials to make LDMOS devices based on the traditional Si-based semiconductor process to increase the breakdown voltage of the device and reduce the on-resistance are currently urgent problems that need to be solved.
