Testing the limits of H-implantation for Si power MOSFETs: Advantages and Challenges
Speaker:Andrea Fugger (TU Wien, IAP, FB Angewandte Grenzflächenphysik)
Abstract:Semiconductor manufacturing is constantly searching for methods to achieve smaller process windows and improved yield. Proton implantation in addition to the standard ion implants is a promising method to reach that goal for Si-power MOSFETs. While there is a lot of literature about Hydrogen in Si base materials [1,2] or its use for lifetime adjustments and formation of field stop regions [3], its use as a dopant in the active region of power Devices is largely unexplored. In this talk I will provide an overview of the advantages of H-implantation and two examples of challenges during industrial use. The main example concerns the technical implementation of the method in a production line. Key points here are the implant depth profile, the allowed temperature budget and the materials in the way of the beam, as well as potentially resulting radiation [4]. The second example introduces th
