Abstract

A method for manufacturing an injection-enhanced insulated-gate bipolar transistor, comprising the following steps: an n-type substrate ( 12 ) is provided; a p-type doped layer ( 14 ) is formed on the n-type substrate ( 12 ); a hard layer ( 20 ) is formed on the p-type doped layer ( 14 ); a groove ( 40 ) extending to the n-type substrate ( 12 ) is formed by etching on the p-type doped layer ( 14 ); an n-type doped layer ( 50 ) is formed on the sidewalls and bottom of the groove ( 40 ); the hard layer ( 20 ) is removed; p-type impurities of the p-type doped layer ( 14 ) and n-type impurities of the n-type doped layer ( 50 ) are driven in together, where the p-type impurities are diffused to form a p-type base region ( 60 ), and the n-type impurities are diffused to form an n-type buffer layer ( 70 ); a gated oxide dielectric layer ( 80 ) is formed on the surface of the groove ( 40 ); and, a polysilicon layer ( 90 ) is deposited in the groove having formed therein the gate oxide dielectric layer ( 80 ). In the method for manufacturing the injection-enhanced insulated-gate bipolar transistor, the p-type doped layer ( 14 ) and the n-type doped layer ( 50 ) are driven in together to form the p-type base region ( 60 ) and the n-type buffer layer ( 70 ), as only one drive-in process is required, production cycle is shortened in comparison with a conventional method for manufacturing the injection-enhanced insulated-gate bipolar transistor.
