Groove type grid-connected transistor and manufacturing method thereof[ technical field ] A method for producing a semiconductor device
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing processes, in particular to a groove type grid-connected transistor and a manufacturing method thereof.
[ background of the invention ]
The groove type grid-connected transistor is also called UPGAT for short, is a novel power device, has the advantages of MOSFET and BJT at the same time, and has the main characteristics that: the on-resistance is small, the dynamic loss is small, the switching speed is high, the secondary breakdown voltage resistance is high, and the power capacity and the safe working area are large; has negative temperature coefficient, good thermal stability, strong impact resistance and high-frequency radiation resistance.
Under the condition that a high voltage is applied to a collector electrode, a space charge region between a deep junction gate region and a collector region of the coupled gate transistor is transversely expanded to pinch off a channel between the deep gate regions, so that the base region is electrostatically shielded, and the punch-through effect of the base region can be inhibited.
The UPGAT device manufactured by the conventional process has the withstand voltage of over 800V and the current of several amperes, and can be widely applied to the field of AC-DC power supply management.
One typical feature of trench-type gate-tied transistors is that the trenches are used to make the vertical diffusion of impurities deep. When a reverse bias voltage is applied to the collector, the N-EPI between the P-type high-doping regions can be quickly exhausted to play a role in electrostatic shielding of the P-type base region, and when the P-type base region is light and shallow, the P-type base region cannot easily penetrate through. For the above reasons, the device can obtain a larger current gain.
However, in the actual production process of the chip, the large-size and large-depth trench brings some troubles to the process, and in some cases, the reliability problems such as device breakdown creep degradation and the like can be caused by the fact that chemical pollutants such as device glue coating and pattern coating, photoresist in the trench and the like cannot be removed.
