摘要: 一些DMOS产品的Vfsd上限要求做得很低,这样背金工艺的窗口就非常窄、经常发生Vfsd超上限的事件。如何拓宽背金工艺窗口、满足特殊DMOS产品对Vfsd的苛刻要求,在此研究了背面减薄、背面硅腐蚀和背面注入的主要工艺关键参数对Vfsd的影响。比较减薄机研磨轮目数后发现,研磨轮目数决定背面粗糙度,进而影响背面SI与背面金属的接触电阻和Vfsd;比较硅腐蚀有、无活性剂后发现,加了活性剂的背面硅腐蚀速率温和、均匀性好,可减缓切入式减薄机的Vfsd扇形分布、Vfsd均匀性明显改善。背注能量拉偏后发现,降低背注能量可降低Vfsd的Mean值。综合以上机理分析和实验结果,找到了背面最佳工艺条件,大大拓宽了背金工艺窗口。在最佳背面工艺条件下,这些特殊的DMOS产品Vfsd超上限几率从1.5%下降到0.1%以下、良率平均上升4%,此背金最佳工艺可以成为DMOS生产的标准工艺。

Abstract: Since some special DMOS products require very low Vfsd′s upper limit, the window of backside process becomes very narrow and the phenomenon of Vfsd upper limit happens quite often. To widen the window of backside process and satisfy the Vfsd requirement of special DMOS products, the influence of key parameters of main processes of backside grinding, backside Si wet etching and backside injection on Vfsd value is studied. According to the comparison result of backside grinding wheels with different mesh numbers, it is found that the mesh number of grinding wheel affects the roughness on the backside greatly, as well as the contact resistance between backside Si and backside metal. After comparing Si wet etching with and without active agent, it is found that surfactants injection can slow down Vfsds sector distribution and improve Vfsd uniformity obviously. To lowing down the backside injection energy can reduce Vfsds Mean value. BKM conditions of backside process were found out from the mechanism analysis and experiments results. Under BKM condition, special DMOS productss Vfsd ultralimit rate reduced from 1.5% to current 0.1% and CP yield increased 4%. This BKM process can be applied as standard process of DMOS production.

DMOS产品生产中背金工艺[1]包含背面减薄(Backside Grinding)、背面湿法硅腐蚀(Backside Si Wet Etch)、背面注入(Backside Implant)和背面蒸发金属(Backside Implant)。其中背面减薄、背面湿法硅腐蚀、背面注入对DMOS Vfsd参数的影响最大[2]。
1Vfsd的概念
Vfsd(Forward Voltage of diode between S,D)源漏间的二极管正向导通压降。测量方法:GS短接,S接地,SD加偏压Vsd,测量SD间电流Isd。增大Vsd,当Isd达到设定值时的Vsd即为Vfsd;Vgs=0 V,Id=设定值(见图1)。
