摘要: 本文针对高压碳化硅(SiC)功率器件对高质量P型高掺杂外延层的迫切需求,系统研究了基于三甲基铝(Al(CH33, TMA)前驱体的8英寸(1英寸=2.54 cm)4H-SiC同质外延生长技术。通过优化高温化学气相沉积(CVD)过程中的关键参数,成功在8英寸4°偏角4H-SiC衬底上实现了外延层铝(Al)掺杂浓度大于1.00×1019 cm-3的可控掺杂,外延层纵向掺杂均匀性良好,并利用表面缺陷检测技术分析了掺杂浓度对缺陷形貌的影响规律。结果表明,当Al掺杂浓度超过1.35×1019 cm-3时,晶格失配应力会诱导表面形貌恶化,且恶化程度随Al掺杂浓度升高而加剧。通过进一步优化生长条件,最终在高于1.00×1019 cm-3的高掺杂浓度下,将致命缺陷密度成功抑制在0.156 cm-2的水平,从而使3 mm×3 mm芯片面积的可用面积率达到99.0%。本研究为实现高质量、大尺寸P型4H-SiC外延层的制备提供了有效的技术方案,为其在高压功率器件中的产业化应用提供了坚实的材料基础。

Abstract: Targeting the urgent demand for high-quality P-type highly doped epitaxial layers in high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, this work systematically investigated the homoepitaxial growth technology of 8-inch (1 inch=2.54 cm) 4H-SiC based on trimethylaluminum (Al(CH33, TMA) precursor. By optimizing key parameters in the process of high-temperature chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the controllable doping of aluminum (Al) in the epitaxial layer a doping concentration exceeding 1.00×1019 cm-3 was successfully achieved on 8-inch and 4° off-axis 4H-SiC substrates, and the longitudinal doping uniformity in the epitaxial layer was good. The influence of doping concentration on defect morphology was analyzed by surface defect detection technology. The results show that when the Al doping concentration surpasses 1.35×1019 cm-3, the lattice mismatch stress induces significant degradation of the surface morphology, and the degree of deterioration will increase with the increase of the Al doping concentration. Through further optimization of the growth conditions, the fatal defect density is successfully suppressed to 0.156 cm-2 at a high doping concentration higher than 1.00×1019 cm-3, so that the usable area ratio of 3 mm×3 mm chip area reaches 99.0%. This study provides an effective technical pathway for fabricating high-quality, large size P-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layers, laying a solid material for their industrial application in high-voltage power devices.
