Title: Method for forming a low injection P-type contact region and power semiconductor devices with the same
Inventor: MUNAF RAHIMO
IPC: H01L29/78
Filed: 2019-09-09
Abstract: Aluminium is used as a P-type dopant for a contact region 8, while boron is used to form a body region 9. Implanted Al ions will form a higher level of defects that will act as recombination centres leading to lower carrier lifetimes and hence will reduce the injection levels of this region. Due to the higher diffusion coefficient of Al ions compared to B ions in silicon a lower temperature budget is needed to achieve the required depth of the P-type contact region 8. Hence, annealing the Al implant at temperatures below 900C will provide enough activation levels and dopant depth to achieve simultaneously a good ohmic contact to the contact electrode 3, and N+ source 7 protection, while providing lower hole drainage injection levels. This concept can be used in bipolar and unipolar semiconductor devices alike, e.g. IGBTs and MOSFETs, and is particularly beneficial for reverse conducting type of devices such as RC-IGBTs.
