The application relates to the field of semiconductors, in particular to a trench gate VDMOS device and a preparation method thereof.

Background

In a MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) field effect transistor, a conduction channel is formed between a source electrode and a drain electrode, and the presence of the conduction channel makes the MOS field effect transistor have a certain on resistance, and the larger the on resistance is, the larger the power consumption is, and therefore, the on resistance needs to be reduced as much as possible.

Since the structure of the first and second polysilicon bodies 150 and 160 in the first trench 120 has various forms, accordingly, the step of forming the first and second polysilicon bodies 150 and 160 in the first trench 120 has various embodiments. In one embodiment, step S630 may include the following steps:

step S631: and forming a gate oxide layer on the inner walls of the first trench and the second trench.

As shown in fig. 7h, the upper surface layer of the drift region 100 is doped to form a body region 110 of the second conductivity type in contact with the sidewalls of the first trench 120 and the sidewalls of the second trench 130, the depth of the body region 110 is smaller than the depth of the first trench 120 and the second trench 130, i.e. the bottoms of the first trench 120 and the second trench 130 are still located within the drift region 100. The upper surface layer of the body region 110 is doped to form a first conductive type source region 111 contacting the sidewall of the first trench 120 and the sidewall of the second trench 130.

Specifically, the positional relationship between the source lead-out structure and the gate lead-out structure is referred to the above description, and is not described herein again. Specifically, the process of forming the lead-out structure is to firstly form a contact hole, and then fill a conductive material into the contact hole to form the lead-out structure. In an embodiment, in the process of forming the source lead-out structure 310, a source contact hole penetrating through the source region 111 and extending into the body region 110 is firstly formed, then the second conductivity type heavy doping is performed on the body region 110 through the source contact hole, a heavily doped region 112 is formed in the body region 110, the doping concentration of the heavily doped region 112 is greater than that of the body region, finally, a conductive material is filled into the source contact hole, the source lead-out structure 310 is formed, and at this time, the bottom of the source lead-out structure 310 is surrounded by the heavily doped region 112.

Therefore, under the condition of the same breakdown voltage, the drift region of the trench gate VDMOS device obtained by the preparation method can have higher doping concentration, and the on-resistance of the device is lower. Meanwhile, according to the preparation method, the first groove, the second groove and the communicating groove can be formed through one-time photoetching and etching processes, compared with a process of only forming the first groove and introducing the groove gate in the traditional VDMOS device, the method for forming the grooves of different types does not increase photoetching times and does not need to increase a mask; and the filling structures in the second groove and the communication groove are synchronously formed in the process step of the groove gate structure, and the second groove and the communication groove are filled without additionally increasing the process, so that the VDMOS device prepared by the preparation method has lower on-resistance, does not need to increase additional process steps, and is compatible with the existing groove gate preparation process.
