The method comprises the following steps: First, a semiconductor substrate having a relatively heavily doped n+ doped layer and a lightly doped is provided. A buried p region is then formed in the epi layer by ion implantation. Afterward, a first oxide layer and a nitride layer are then successively formed on the epi layer.

What is claimed is:
The present invention relates to a semiconductor process, specifically, to a novel termination structure for trench MOS devices so as to prevent leakage current.
Schottky diode is an important power device and used extensively as output rectifiers in switching-mode power supplies and in other high-speed power switching applications, such as motor drives, switching of communication device, industry automation and electronic automation and so on. The power devices are usually required characteristics of carrying a large forward current, withstanding a high reverse voltage and minimizing the reverse leakage current.
A number of power rectifiers have been used to provide high current and reverse blocking characteristics. Hsu et al disclosed a Schottky rectifier structure in IEEE ELECTRON DEVICE LETTERS, vol. 22, No. 11, p.531 (2001); “A Novel Trench Termination Design For 100_V TMBS Diode Application.” As is shown in
The Schottky rectifier structure of Hsu disclosed is design for high voltage and is capable of achieving an aim of a reverse blocking voltage over 100 V with only an extreme low leakage current. However, the processes require at least three photo masks: one is for trenches defined, the second is for TEOS defined, and the third is for metal extension in the termination region. Thus, an object of the present method is to simplify the processes. According to the present invention, only two photo masks are needed to implement high performance Schottky rectifier diode.
Chang discloses another conventional method in U.S. Pat. No. 6,252,288. The structure shown in
An object of the present invention is to propose a high switching speed two mask Schottky diode with high field breakdown and a method making the same.
The present invention discloses a power Schottky rectifier device and its fabrication method. The method comprises the following steps: First, a semiconductor substrate having a relatively heavily doped n+ doped layer and a lightly doped n-epi-layer is provided. An ion implantation process is then performed to implant boron or BF2+ ions into the n-epi layer to form a buried region. Afterward, a first oxide layer and a nitride layer are then successively formed on the n-epi layer. Then, the first masking step is used to define the active region by dry etching the nitride layer and the first oxide layer and the silicon substrate form trenches, which have a depth ranging from 1 to 5 μm measured from the surface of the epi layer.
Subsequently, a thermal oxidation process is performed to grow the second oxide layer within trenches to recover the etching damage and to smooth the surface of trench region. After removing the second oxide layer in the trench region, a barrier metal layer (e.g. Ti, Ta, Pd, Ni, Cr, Mo, Pt, Zr, Y, V, etc.) is then deposited on the entire surface. A thermal annealing process is then performed to form the silicide layer. The un-reacted metal layer is then removed by etching. A top metal layer (e.g., TiNi/Ag or Al, or TiW/Al) is then formed on the silicide layer and on the first oxide layer and nitride layer. The top metal layer on the termination region is then patterned to define anode. After backside layers formed on the rear surface of the substrate are removed, another metal layer (e.g., TiNi/Ag) is formed on the rear surface of the substrate to form cathode layer.
The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will become more readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
The preferred embodiment is to illustrate the method of forming termination structure and the Schottky diode simultaneously.
Referring to
An ion implant is then performed to implant boron or BF2+ ions to form a buried region 108 in the n-epi layer 102 by using a dosage and energy, respectively, between about 1E10–1E16 cm−2 and 10–300 keV. Thereafter, a first oxide layer 110 between about 100 nm to 1000 nm is formed by a thermal oxidation process. The nitride layer 115 is then formed by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) to about 50–300 nm. Worthwhile, forgoing ion implant step can also be performed after the first oxide layer 110 formation.

As is shown in
The un-reacted metal layer on the dielectric layer (oxide and nitride layer) is then removed. Afterward, another thick top metal layer 150 is then formed on the entire areas. An exemplary candidate for the top metal layer is a TiNi/Ag layer (Ti, Ni co-deposited first, and then Ag followed) or a TiW/Al layer (Ti, W co-deposited first, and then Al followed). Afterward the top metal layer 150 is patterned to define anode. The top metal layer 150 covered the entire active region and extended to a portion of termination mesa region 133. Subsequently, a polishing process is performed firstly to remove all of the layers formed on the backside surface 101b of the substrate 100 during aforementioned process and then a backside metal layer 160 acted as cathode is formed thereafter by sputtering.
The benefits of this invention are:

It is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, the scope of which should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structure.
