Description
図1~図21を参照して、第1実施形態の半導体装置10について説明する。図1~図7は、半導体装置10の構成の一例を示し、図8~図21は、半導体装置10の製造工程の一例を示している。
図1~図7を参照して、本実施形態の半導体装置10の構成について説明する。
図1に示すように、本実施形態の半導体装置10は、トレンチゲート型IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)である。この半導体装置10は、たとえば車載用インバータ装置においてスイッチング素子として用いられる。この場合、半導体装置10には、たとえば5A以上1000A以下の電流が流れる。
FLR部25は、半導体装置10の耐圧向上のための終端構造であり、エミッタ引き回し部24の外方に設けられている。FLR部25は、エミッタ電極21およびゲート電極22を囲む環状に形成されている。本実施形態では、FLR部25は、閉じた環状となるように形成されている。FLR部25は、外周領域12における電界を緩和し、外部イオンからの影響を抑制することによって半導体装置10の耐圧を向上させる機能を有している。
半導体基板30は、基板裏面30rから基板表面30sに向けて順に、p+型のコレクタ層31、n型のバッファ層32、およびn-型のドリフト層33が積層された構造を有している。基板裏面30rには、コレクタ電極29が形成されている。コレクタ電極29は、基板裏面30rの略全面にわたり形成されている。コレクタ電極29のうち基板裏面30rとは反対側の面は、半導体装置10の装置裏面10rを構成している。
図4は、外周領域12の一部の断面構造を示している。図5は、図4の外周領域12のうちFLR部25の一部およびその周辺の拡大構造を示している。図6は、図4の外周領域12のうちゲートフィンガー23Aおよびエミッタ引き回し部24の拡大構造を示している。図7は、図4の外周領域12のうち等電位リング26の一部およびその周辺の各第構造を示している。なお、図4~図7では、便宜上、半導体装置10の構成要素のハッチングを省略して示している。
フィールドプレート25eは、外周開口部52内に設けられた埋め込み電極部27と、外周開口部52から側方に突出するとともに中間絶縁膜39上に積層された突出部28aを有するプレート本体部28と、を含む。また、本実施形態では、突出部28aは、中間絶縁膜39の表面39sに形成されている。
ここで、フィールドプレート25eの厚さTBは、埋め込み電極部27のうちコンタクト領域25pと接する先端面と、フィールドプレート25eの表面25sとのz方向の間の距離である。つまり、厚さTBは、フィールドプレート25eの厚さが最も厚い部分の厚さである。本実施形態では、フィールドプレート25eの厚さTBは、フィールドプレート25eの複数箇所でフィールドプレート25eの厚さを測定した場合の平均の厚さである。
中間絶縁膜39および酸化膜23cのうちゲートフィンガー23Aに対応する位置には、中間絶縁膜39および酸化膜23cの双方を貫通する外周開口部53が設けられている。これにより、外周開口部53を介してゲート層23aが露出している。ゲート配線23bは、外周開口部53に入り込んでゲート層23aに接している。つまり、外周開口部53は、ゲート配線23bがゲート層23aに接するためのコンタクトホールを構成している。
中間絶縁膜39、および絶縁膜38におけるエミッタ引き回し部24に対応する位置には、中間絶縁膜39、および絶縁膜38の全てを貫通する外周開口部54が設けられている。これにより、外周開口部54を介してウェル領域34Aが露出している。エミッタ引き回し部24は、外周開口部54に入り込んでウェル領域34Aに接している。つまり、外周開口部54は、エミッタ引き回し部24がウェル領域34Aに接するためのコンタクトホールを構成している。
図7に示すように、等電位リング26は、ドリフト層33の表面(基板表面30s)に形成された第1導電型(n+型)のチャネルストップ領域26aと、絶縁膜38および中間絶縁膜39内に設けられた内部配線26bと、中間絶縁膜39の表面39sに設けられた表面側配線26cと、を有している。
図8~図21を参照して、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法について説明する。なお、便宜上、図8~図21では、製造過程を示す半導体装置10の構成を簡略化して示している。このため、図8~図21の半導体装置10の構成要素の形状およびサイズが図1~図7の半導体装置10の構成要素の形状およびサイズと異なる場合がある。図8~図21では、セル領域11の一部と、FLR部25の一部とのそれぞれの製造過程を示している。また、以降では、便宜上、図8~図21を用いて、1つの半導体装置10の製造方法として説明する。ここで、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法は、1つの半導体装置10の製造に限られず、複数個の半導体装置10の製造であってもよい。
絶縁膜838を形成する工程では、まず、半導体基板830が熱酸化されることによって各トレンチ835の内面を含む半導体基板830の表面全体に酸化膜が形成される。つまり、絶縁膜838は、シリコン酸化膜(SiO2)によって形成される。これにより、半導体基板830の基板表面830sのうちセル領域11に絶縁膜838が形成される。絶縁膜838は、絶縁膜38に対応する絶縁膜である。セル領域11の絶縁膜838は、ゲート絶縁膜であり、各トレンチ835の内面にも形成される。また、半導体基板830の外周領域12では、基板側絶縁膜838Bの表面838Bsに絶縁膜838が積層される。ここで、本実施形態では、基板側絶縁膜838Bおよび絶縁膜838を形成する工程は「第1絶縁膜を形成する工程」に対応する。
電極材料PSをエッチングする工程では、半導体基板830の基板表面830sの電極材料PSをエッチングによって除去する。なお、図示していないが、外周領域12のうちゲートフィンガー23A,23Bおよびゲート電極22の電極材料PSと、等電位リング26の内部配線26bの電極材料PSは、エッチングしない。
セル領域11においては、エッチングによって中間絶縁膜839、および絶縁膜838をそれぞれ貫通するように開口部861が形成される。セル領域11における開口部861は、ベース領域34を露出する。この開口部861によってベース領域34に対応する半導体基板830の基板表面830sには凹部831が形成される。
本実施形態の半導体装置10の作用について説明する。
ポリイミド等の有機絶縁膜であるパッシベーション膜13は、外部イオンから保護するために装置主面10sの全体にわたり形成されている。つまり、パッシベーション膜13は、外周領域12を全体にわたり覆っている。しかし、パッシベーション膜13は、拡散係数が大きいため、外部イオンがパッシベーション膜13内で拡散されて通過してしまうおそれがある。
本実施形態の半導体装置10によれば、以下の効果が得られる。
(1-1)半導体装置10のセル領域11は、中間絶縁膜39上に積層された電極本体部21cを有するエミッタ電極21を備えている。ガードリング25a~25dに個別に接するフィールドプレート25e~25hのそれぞれは、中間絶縁膜39上に積層された突出部28aを有している。半導体装置10は、中間絶縁膜39と、突出部28aごとフィールドプレート25e~25hを覆うことによって段差状となった層であって中間絶縁膜39および絶縁膜38よりも拡散係数が小さいバリア層40と、バリア層40上に積層され、バリア層40よりも拡散係数が大きいパッシベーション膜13と、を備えている。突出部28aの厚さT1は、電極本体部21cの厚さT2よりも薄い。
この構成によれば、フィールドプレート25e~25hを覆うバリア層40の段差状の部分にクラックが発生しにくくなるため、クラックに起因して外部イオンがバリア層40を通過することを抑制できる。
この構成によれば、フィールドプレート25e~25hの突出部28aと埋め込み電極部27とを個別に形成する場合と比較して、フィールドプレート25e~25hを製造するための工程数を減らすことができるので、フィールドプレート25e~25hの製造工程を簡略化できる。
この構成によれば、フィールドプレート25e~25hを覆うバリア層40の段差状の部分が、z方向から視てガードリング25a~25dの外縁よりも外方に位置するようになる。したがって、バリア層40の段差状の部分にクラックが発生したとしても、外部イオンがガードリング25a~25dに侵入しにくくなる。
この構成によれば、フィールドプレート25e~25hを覆うバリア層40の段差状の部分が、z方向から視てガードリング25a~25dの外縁よりも外方に離間して位置するようになる。したがって、バリア層40の段差状の部分にクラックが発生したとしても、外部イオンがガードリング25a~25dに侵入しにくくなる。
この構成によれば、フィールドプレート25e~25hを覆うバリア層40の段差状の部分も傾斜面28bに沿って傾斜した形状となるため、バリア層40の段差状の部分におけるバリア層40の折り曲がりが緩くなる。したがって、バリア層40の段差状の部分にクラックが発生しにくくなる。
この構成によれば、バリア層40の段差状の部分のうち中間絶縁膜39と傾斜面28bとを覆う部分の段差が小さくなるため、クラックが発生しにくくなる。
この構成によれば、半導体装置10の薄型化を図ることができる。加えて、バリア層40を薄く形成したとしても、フィールドプレート25e~25hの突出部28aの厚さT1をエミッタ電極21の電極本体部21cの厚さT2よりも薄く形成しているため、バリア層40の段差状の部分にクラックが発生することを抑制できる。
図22~図37を参照して、第2実施形態の半導体装置10について説明する。本実施形態の半導体装置10は、第1実施形態の半導体装置10と比較して、配線構造および絶縁膜の構造がそれぞれ異なる。以下の説明においては、第1実施形態の半導体装置10と異なる点について詳細に説明し、第1実施形態の半導体装置10と共通する構成要素には同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
図22および図23を参照して、本実施形態の半導体装置の構成について説明する。
図22は、セル領域11の断面構造の一部を示している。図22に示すように、本実施形態のセル領域11は、エミッタ電極21の配線構造が第1実施形態と異なる。このため、以下では、エミッタ電極21の配線構造について詳細に説明し、他の部分については第1実施形態と同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
厚膜部61は、LOCOS酸化膜60の厚さが比較的厚い部分であり、たとえば隣り合う外周開口部52の間に設けられている。薄膜部62は、LOCOS酸化膜60の厚さが比較的薄い部分であり、たとえばz方向から視て、外周開口部52と重なる位置に設けられている。このため、外周開口部52は、LOCOS酸化膜60の薄膜部62に設けられているともいえる。傾斜部63は、厚膜部61と薄膜部62との間に設けられており、厚膜部61と薄膜部62とを接続する部分である。傾斜部63は、表面60sおよび裏面60rの両側において、薄膜部62から厚膜部61に向かうにつれてLOCOS酸化膜60の厚さが厚くなるように傾斜している。
本実施形態では、電極層70の厚さT10は一定になるように設定されている。このため、突出部74の厚さは、一定になるように設定されているともいえる。
図24~図37を参照して、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法について説明する。本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法においては、第1実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法と比較して、半導体基板830の基板表面830sに形成される絶縁膜の形成方法と、電極の形成方法とが異なる。このため、以下の説明では、第1実施形態と異なる点について説明し、第1実施形態と共通する製造工程の説明を省略する。また、便宜上、本実施形態の半導体装置10の製造方法は、セル領域11およびFLR部25の製造過程について主に説明する。
図24に示すように、まず、Siを含む材料から形成された半導体基板830を用意する。半導体基板830には、ドリフト層33が形成されている。続いて、たとえばCVDによって半導体基板830の基板表面830sの全体にわたり酸化膜851を形成する。酸化膜851は、たとえばシリコン酸化膜(SiO2膜)を有している。続いて、たとえばCVDによって酸化膜851の表面851sの全体にわたりマスク852を形成する。マスク852は、たとえばシリコン窒化膜(Si3N4膜)を有している。
図34に示すように、第2電極層872上にマスク880が形成される。マスク880のうち外周領域12を覆う部分には、複数の開口部881が形成される。第2電極層872は、複数の開口部881から露出される。図34では、マスク880は、第2電極層872のうちフィールドプレート25e~25gが形成される部分に形成されている。なお、図示していないが、マスク880は、フィールドプレート25hが形成される部分にも形成される。
本実施形態によれば、第1実施形態の効果に加え、以下の効果が得られる。
(2-1)電極層70の厚さT10は、バリア層40の厚さT5よりも薄い。
この構成によれば、上記(2-1)と同様の効果が得られる。
この構成によれば、フィールドプレート25e~25hを覆うバリア層40の段差状の部分にクラックがより発生しにくくなるため、クラックに起因して外部イオンがバリア層40を通過することをより抑制できる。
この構成によれば、フィールドプレート25e~25hを覆うバリア層40の段差状の部分にクラックがより発生しにくくなるため、クラックに起因して外部イオンがバリア層40を通過することをより抑制できる。
