Abstract: The present disclosure provides a power semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. In order to provide a power semiconductor device with improved latch-up immunity but without increasing device power loss and costs, a hole current path in a fourth semiconductor region of a first conductivity type between a gate trench and a dummy gate trench is shortened by providing a first contact trench between two adjacent gate trenches, and providing a second contact trench between the gate trench and a dummy gate trench such that the width and depth of the second contact trench are respectively greater than those of the first contact trench. The effect of the hole current on the potential rise of the fourth semiconductor region of the first conductivity type is suppressed, thereby suppressing the latch-up effect, and enhancing the switching reliability.

Abstract: A gate insulating film has a multilayer structure including a SiO2 film, a LaAlO3 film, and an Al2O3 film that are sequentially stacked, relative permittivity of the gate insulating film being optimized by the LaAlO3 film. In forming the LaAlO3 film constituting the gate insulating film, a La2O3 film and an Al2O3 film are alternately deposited repeatedly using an ALD method. The La2O3 film is deposited first, whereby during a POA performed thereafter, a sub-oxide of the surface of the SiO2 film is removed by a cleaning effect of lanthanum atoms in the La2O3 film. A temperature of the POA is suitably set in a range from 700 degrees C. to less than 900 degrees C.

Abstract: Disclosed are a power semiconductor device and a preparation method thereof, which belongs to the field of power semiconductor devices. By introducing a punch-through triode structure for electron extraction in a drift region, the frontside hole injection efficiency is reduced, and hole currents from emitters are converted into electron drift currents without significantly increasing on-state voltage drop. In addition, by changing the density and topography of a frontside trench, the adjustment of punch-through area and position is achieved, which in turn changes the electron extraction and frontside hole injection efficiency. The disclosed method increases the design flexibility and design dimension of the device.

Abstract: An electron extraction type free-wheeling diode device and a preparation method thereof are provided by the present disclosure, and more than one first structures for increasing the density of electron extraction pathways are provided on a N-type drift region. Each of the first structures includes a lightly doped P-type base region, a heavily doped N-type emitter region located on the lightly doped P-type base region, a P-type trench anode region, and a trench region located on the P-type trench anode region. The barrier height of the punch-through NPN triode can be tuned in a wide range, which has beneficial effects on soft and fast adjustment of the reverse recovery process.

Abstract: At edge termination region, a trench is disposed near an interface of an active region. Inside the trench, an embedded insulating film is embedded, and inside the embedded insulating film, a FP long in a direction of depth is disposed. The FP curves outwardly away from an inner sidewall of the trench as a depth from a base front surface increases. At least near a bottom end of the FP, a distance between the FP and the inner sidewall of trench is greater than a width of the groove. The FP is connected to a front surface electrode that extends on the embedded insulating film. As a result, breakdown voltage can be enhanced, adverse effects of the surface charge can be reduced, and chip size can be further reduced.
