Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, the global lifetime control technology has the following disadvantages: while reducing the non-substance lifetime, it will significantly reduce the non-substance concentration in the conduction state, increase the on-resistance and voltage drop, and deteriorate the conduction performance of the device
The current local lifetime control method is mostly realized by helium ion implantation, but the helium ion implantation machine used for helium ion implantation is difficult and expensive to manufacture, which greatly increases the process threshold and price cost

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for realizing local lifetime control of a semiconductor device, comprising the following steps: covering the first surface of an unmetallized semiconductor device with an impurity source, the impurity source being an element with a recombination center effect or a substance containing the element ;According to the preset diffusion depth, the diffusion coefficient of the impurity source and the change curve of solid solubility with temperature, the parameters of the complementary error function are obtained; according to the parameters of the complementary error function, the diffusion temperature and time are obtained; according to the diffusion temperature and time, Diffusion of the recombination central atom to the target diffusion depth in the semiconductor device; removal of impurity sources; rapid thermal annealing of the semiconductor device to complete the electrical activation of the recombination central atom. The present invention does not require equipment such as helium ion implanters, and only achieves local lifetime control through the diffusion of composite center atoms such as platinum and gold. Compared with traditional global lifetime control, it has the advantage of reduced conduction voltage and better forward performance and switching A performance compromise.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and in particular relates to a method for realizing local lifetime control of semiconductor devices. Background technique [0002] Lifetime control technology is a technology that adjusts the lifetime of non-equilibrium carriers in semiconductors by various methods to improve device performance. [0003] Since bipolar conductive semiconductor devices generally use the conductance modulation effect, in the on-state, the drift region stores electrons and holes (carriers) whose concentration product exceeds its intrinsic product. These additional carriers are called Non-equilibrium carriers, referred to as non-substances, non-equilibrium electrons and holes will recombine one-to-one with time and disappear. Their average existence time is called non-substance lifetime. The rate of net injection of nonons into the impurity region is equal to the rate of recombination of nonons in the drift re...
