Specific embodiment
It holds as stated in the background art, the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode used in the prior art is mainly determined by longitudinal pn-junction Fixed, Fig. 1 is a kind of structural schematic diagram of Zener diode in the prior art, with reference to Zener diode shown in FIG. 1, the Zener Diode, which is included in substrate 1, is formed with a well region 2, and there are two the doped regions of longitudinal lamination, such as p+ for formation in the well region 2 Area 3 (p-type heavily doped region) and the area n- 4 (N-shaped lightly doped district), and the area p+ 3 is located at 4 top of the area n-, by the area p+ and The contact in the area n- forms longitudinal pn-junction structure.Corresponding with the area n- 4, the well region 2 is also N-shaped well region.
It should be noted that above-mentioned heavy doping indicates that the doping concentration of doped region is relatively large, expression doping is lightly doped The doping concentration in area is relatively small, that is, the doping concentration in the area P+ is greater than the doping concentration in the area n-.
Further, since the doping concentration of well region 2 is very low, if using metal electrode directly from 2 surface extraction electrode of well region, Very big contact resistance can be then generated, therefore in order to reduce the contact resistance on well region 2 surface and metal electrode, it can select in the trap Make a reservation for be formed on the position of extraction electrode in area 2 and form the area n+ 5 (N-shaped heavily doped region), and then passes through the biggish n+ of doping concentration To reduce the contact resistance with the metal electrode, the substrate surface exposes the area p+ 3 and the area n+ 5 in area 5.With And in order to avoid forming connection between the area p+ 3 and the area n+ 5, and the electric current for influencing the pn-junction in the area p+ 3 and the area n- 4 is logical Road also has isolation structure 6 between the area p+ 3 and the area n+ 5, the isolation structure 6 for example can be shallow trench isolation Structure (STI) or carrying out local oxide isolation structure (LOCOS).To pass through the external anode in the area p+, the external cathode in the area n+, conducting When electric current pass sequentially through (or back through) area p+ 3, the area n- 4, well region 2 and the area n+5 and form conductive path, realize the Zener two The electrode of pole pipe is drawn.
Therefore, with reference to the Zener diode with longitudinal pn-junction shown in FIG. 1, during forming the area n- 4, due to n- The doping depth and doping concentration in area 4 (such as other n-type dopings on the area n+ 5 and same chip different from other areas n Area), therefore need to use an additional mask plate and corresponding exposure mask and doping process to form the area n- 4, result in preparation The increase of cost.Therefore it is directed to this problem, the invention proposes a kind of new Zener diodes and its preparation process, are covered with saving Film and preparation cost.
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments to a kind of Zener diode proposed by the present invention and preparation method thereof make into One step is described in detail.According to following explanation, advantages and features of the invention will be become apparent from.It should be noted that attached drawing be all made of it is non- Often simplified form and non-accurate ratio is used, only for the purpose of facilitating and clarifying the purpose of the embodiments of the invention.
Embodiment one
Fig. 2 is the structural schematic diagram of Zener diode in the embodiment of the present invention one, below with reference to shown in Fig. 2, the present embodiment A kind of Zener diode of middle offer includes a substrate 201, a well region 202 is formed in the substrate 201, in the well region Doping type different the first doped region 21 and the second doped region 22, the well region 202, first doping are formed in 202 Area 21 and second doped region 22 are exposed to the surface of the substrate 201, first doped region 21 and second doping Area 22 is transversely arranged and first doped region 21 and second doped region 22 connect, first doped region 21 and described The region that connects of second doped region 22 forms the pn-junction of the Zener diode.
Specifically, the first doped region 21 described in the present embodiment is different with the doping type of second doped region 22, therefore In the intersection of the first doped region 21 and the second doped region 22, due to the contact of two kinds of doping types, to be formed with lateral Pn-junction.The doping type of the first doped region 21 used in the present embodiment is, for example, p-type, the doping type example of the second doped region 22 For example N-shaped.It is then corresponding, it can access positive electrode, the second doping of the N-shaped on the first doped region 21 of the p-type It can access negative electrode in area 22.It should be noted that the doping type of first doped region 21 and second doped region 22 It can also be respectively N-shaped and p-type, then the electrode of the first doped region 21 access of corresponding N-shaped is cathode, the second doping of p-type Area 22 is anode.
Further, since the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode in the present embodiment depends on first doped region 21 and described The lateral pn-junction in the region that connects of the second doped region 22, and the conductive path of lateral pn-junction needs not move through the well region 202, therefore To the doping type of well region 202, there is no special requirements, and in turn, the well region 202 can also arbitrarily choose N-shaped or p-type.
It is worth noting that the Zener diode in the present embodiment due to formation is lateral pn-junction, therefore there is no longitudinal The structure in the area p and the area n longitudinal direction lamination in pn-junction during the preparation process, does not need to use an extra mask version with shape in turn At the pn-junction of longitudinal lamination, concrete reason will be explained in detail in preparation method, not repeated herein.Therefore, the present invention has Exposure mask cost and preparation cost can be saved by having the Zener diode of lateral pn-junction.
As a preferred option, first doped region 21 includes the first body region 210 and adulterates with described first The first doped diffusion region 211 that body zone 210 laterally connects, second doped region 22 include 220 He of the second body region The second doped diffusion region 221 laterally to connect with second body region 220;
Wherein, first doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221 laterally connect, and described the The region that connects of one doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221 forms the pn-junction of the Zener diode.
And first doped diffusion region 211 is by the Doped ions divergent contour in first body region 210 At second doped diffusion region 221 is diffuseed to form by the Doped ions in second body region 220.
Specifically, the first doped region 21 described in the present embodiment and second doped region 22 are not in a processing step In directly formed, but be first formed with the first body region 210 and the second body region 220 in substrate 201, then Diffusion technique is recycled, the first doped diffusion region 211 is diffuseed to form by the first body region 210, by the second body region 220 diffuse to form the second doped diffusion region 221.Therefore it can be by first doped diffusion region 211 and the second doped diffusion region 221 regard the extension of the first body region 210 and the second body region 220 as respectively, to form first by control The process conditions of doped diffusion region 211 and the second doped diffusion region 221 can control the depletion region and concentration distribution shape of pn-junction Condition, so as to adjust the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode.
For further, the breakdown reverse voltage of the Zener diode is with first doped diffusion region 211 and institute It states the increase of the sum of lateral length of the second doped diffusion region 221 and increases;Wherein, the sum of described lateral length is described first Doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221 transversely the sum of the length on dispersal direction.
First it should be noted that there are two types of possible breakdown situations in zener diode, the first is Zener breakdown, works as pn When the doping concentration of knot is higher, the width of depletion region is accordingly smaller, and built in field intensity is larger, therefore only applies lesser reversed Voltage, it will be able to biggish electric field is obtained, so that the covalent bond of neutral atom is destroyed in depletion region, so that valence electron be changed For free electron, a large amount of carrier is inspired, forms Zener breakdown;Second is avalanche breakdown, when the doping concentration of pn-junction When lower, additional biggish backward voltage is collided neutral former so that carrier obtains biggish kinetic energy by high energy carriers Son, to destroy covalent bond and discharge carrier, newly generated carrier can also repeat above situation, and then form carrier The growth of avalanche type, reverse current increased dramatically, so as to cause avalanche breakdown.It can be seen that the pn-junction depletion region formed Of different size, the breakdown that will lead to different situations occurs.Zener diode is the nickname of zener diode, not only refers to neat Receive the zener diode that breakdown is working principle, however, typically, zener diode employed in integrated circuit use compared with More is the principle of Zener breakdown, to obtain relatively small breakdown voltage.
In the present embodiment, the breakdown mode of the Zener diode is, for example, Zener breakdown.Institute is made using diffusion technique The Doped ions stated in the first body region 210 and second body region 220 diffuse to form the first doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221, the Doped ions concentration of first doped diffusion region 211 and the second doped diffusion region 221 Distribution will receive the limitation of its lateral diffusion length, that is, first doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221 transversely the sum of length on dispersal direction.In the present embodiment, first doped diffusion region 211 and second doping Transversely the sum of the length on dispersal direction of diffusion region 221, actually namely refers to the first body region 210 and the second doping Laterally spaced distance between body zone 220.The reason is that under conditions of the total concentration of Doped ions is constant, adulterate from The diffusion length of son is longer, and the ion concentration spread is then lower, and then too long diffusion region makes the pn formed after diffusion The Doped ions concentration for tying two sides is relatively low, while the width of depletion region for also resulting in pn-junction increases.Obviously, when the depletion region When increase, the built in field intensity in depletion region is just accordingly reduced, required additional when so as to cause realization Zener breakdown Voltage correspondingly increases.It can be seen that the breakdown reverse voltage of Zener diode described in the present embodiment can be with described first The increase of the sum of the lateral length of doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221 and increase.And to prevent out The sum of the existing lateral length is excessive, and causes the Zener diode can not be there is a situation where Zener breakdown, in the present embodiment The sum of lateral length of first doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221 is less than or equal to 0.4 μm, to protect Zener diode can work normally in card the present embodiment.
As a preferred option, second doped region is annular region, and laterally surrounds first doped region.
Specifically, the cross-sectional structure of Zener diode in the present embodiment is schematically shown only in Fig. 2, in order to more Understand the zener diode structure being comprehensively illustrated in the present embodiment, additionally provides Fig. 3 in the present embodiment, Fig. 3 is this hair The schematic top plan view of zener diode structure in bright embodiment one, it is ring that Fig. 3, which schematically illustrates second doped region 22, Shape region, and enclose first doped region 21.At this point, due to first doped region 21 and second doped region 22 The region that connects be also an annular region, therefore first doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221 also be ring Shape region, and then second doped region 22 encloses second doped diffusion region 221, second doped diffusion region 221 First doped diffusion region 211 is enclosed, first doped diffusion region 211 encloses first doped region 21.Due to The area increase that connects between first doped region 21 and second doped region 22, and then effectively increase the Zener two The pn-junction cross-sectional area of pole pipe.

Specifically, the substrate 201 is, for example, silicon base, the method that well region 202 is formed in the substrate 201 is, for example, The method of thermal diffusion or ion implanting.In the present embodiment, since the conductive path for the lateral pn-junction being subsequently formed needs not move through The well region 202, therefore the doping type of the well region 202 is not required.The well region 202 in the present embodiment is, for example, N trap.
It as a preferred option, further include in the base after forming the well region 202 with reference to shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 A substrate protective layer 204 is formed on bottom 201.
Specifically, since the body zone hard mask layer 203 being subsequently formed can be for example polysilicon layer, in turn, for reality Existing pattern transfer needs to execute polysilicon layer photoetching and etching work in the forming process of the body zone hard mask layer 203 Skill, therefore very likely substrate 201 can be caused to damage.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the body zone hard mask layer 203 is being formed Before, it is formed with a substrate protective layer 204 in the substrate 201 also to prevent etching process to damage caused by substrate 201, The substrate protective layer 204 is such as can be for silicon oxide layer;In addition, when carrying out ion implantation technology, it also can be with described Substrate protective layer 204 inhibits channelling effect when ion implanting, injects junction depth with effective control.

Wherein, first doped diffusion region 211 and second doped diffusion region 221 laterally connect;Described first mixes Miscellaneous body zone 210 and first doped diffusion region 211 form first doped region 21, second body region 220 Second doped region 22 is formed with second doped diffusion region 221.
Specifically, by diffusion technique in the present embodiment, so that the first body region 210 and the second body region Doped ions in 220 both diffuse in the region being spaced apart from each other, and then form first doped diffusion region 211 and the Two doped diffusion regions 221.By doping concentration, diffusion temperature and the diffusion time in control thermal diffusion process, may be implemented To connecting for the first doped diffusion region 211 and the second doped diffusion region 221, so that the first doped region 21 and the second doped region Lateral pn-junction is formed between 22.
It should be noted that carrying out impurity diffusion using diffusion technique, existing longitudinal diffusion also has lateral diffusion, That is, there is diffusion towards all directions.And in the present embodiment, since the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is by lateral pn It is concocted fixed, therefore longitudinal diffusion part has no effect on the Zener diode in the present embodiment, therefore in the attached drawing of the present embodiment not The region of longitudinal diffusion is shown.Also, the part of horizontal proliferation is also and non-fully as shown in the picture, but there are certain gradients , that is, longitudinal depth of doped diffusion region is not identical.Typically, as diffusion length is longer, the knot of diffusion region It is deep then more shallow, and this is related to diffusion technique condition.By being not directed to the actual conditions of diffusion technique in this present embodiment, therefore Diffusion technique condition is not repeated, is only schematically briefly described with attached drawing herein.
