Description

High-voltage parallel diode structure with composite buried layer and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a high-voltage parallel diode structure with a composite buried layer and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of power supply technologies such as AC-DC and DC-DC, the use occasions of high-voltage diodes are more and more. The high reverse voltage resistance and the good thermal stability of the high-voltage power supply are key technologies of high-voltage integrated circuits and power integrated circuits, and the high-voltage power supply is widely applied to various power supply circuits, synchronous control circuits, interface bus control systems and the like. Therefore, the structure of the high voltage diode is always the focus and hot spot of research of all the major semiconductor manufacturers and scientific research institutes.
As is well known, in a semiconductor integrated circuit structure, devices such as a diode and other MOS transistors are integrated on the same epitaxial layer or substrate material, and these devices are generally isolated from each other by a P-type ground ring. Therefore, the PN junction of the diode and its surrounding P-type or N-type layer form a parasitic PNP or NPN transistor. The parasitic PNP and NPN tubes can cause that a large part of the current which should originally flow through the diode is shunted to other branches by the parasitic tubes, and only a small part of the current can pass through the diode. As a result, the circuit performance may deviate from the design value, and the circuit may even fail to function. In order to reduce the parasitic effect of the diode on a P-type ground ring and the like, in practical use, an NPN tube with a short-circuited collector and base is generally used instead of the diode. The collector and base of the NPN tube are short-circuited to be used as the anode (P) of the diode, and the emitter is used as the cathode (N) of the diode. In the diode structure, the cathode N-terminal emitter is wrapped by the base and the collector which are used as anodes, so that when the diode is conducted in the forward direction, the diode cannot form a parasitic tube with a surrounding P-type ground ring or other devices. Therefore, when the diode with the structure is conducted, current is basically not shunted, and the performance is good. However, since the cathode N-terminal emitter of this diode is wrapped inside the anode P-terminal, the concentration of the emitter cannot be made very low, and therefore the reverse breakdown voltage of this diode cannot be made high, up to about 40V. However, in the actual power supply and synchronous rectification circuit, a diode with reverse withstand voltage of 100 to 200V is often needed to prevent reverse bias, and such a high-voltage diode cannot be made into an NPN tube structure with a short-circuited collector and base, so that the shunt to the P-type ground is large; meanwhile, because the diode structure is only a pure diode structure, under the condition of forward conduction and high-current use, the forward voltage drop of the diode structure is also large, so that the power loss is increased, and the energy is wasted. Therefore, how to realize the diode with high reverse voltage resistance, and simultaneously, the current of the diode is enabled to be extremely small, and the forward voltage drop is not too large when the diode is used with large forward current, which is a technical problem to be solved urgently.

In this embodiment, the polysilicon layer 21 is disposed on the field oxide layer 14 between the first active region 5 and the second active region 6, and on the field oxide layer 14 between the eighth active region 12 and the ninth active region 13, and the thickness of the polysilicon layer is 2000 to 3000 angstroms, so as to increase the breakdown voltage from the high voltage parallel diode to the isolation ground. A polysilicon layer 21 with a thickness of 2000-3000 angstroms is also provided on the field oxide layer 14 between the fourth active region 8 and the fifth active region 9 and on the field oxide layer 14 between the fifth active region 9 and the sixth active region 10, so as to improve the reverse breakdown voltage from the cathode to the anode of the high voltage parallel diode. And an outer oxide layer 22 covering the whole wafer surface is arranged above all the field oxide layers and the active region, the thickness is 6000-9000 angstroms, the outer oxide layer above the field oxide layers is thin, and the outer oxide layer above the active region is thick. The external oxide layer 22 is removed at the corresponding positions of the P + implantation diffusion regions 17 of the first active region 5, the third active region 7, the fifth active region 9, the seventh active region 11 and the ninth active region 13 and the N + implantation diffusion regions 20 of the second active region 6, the fourth active region 8, the sixth active region 10 and the eighth active region 12 to form a contact through hole reaching the silicon surface; and a metal wiring 23 is arranged at the position of the contact through hole and is in contact with the silicon surface, and the anode, the cathode and the isolation ground end of the high-voltage parallel diode are respectively led out to form a complete high-voltage parallel diode structure.
The conventional high-voltage diode cannot be made into an NPN (negative-positive-negative) tube structure with a short-circuited base and emitter in order to realize reverse high-voltage breakdown, so that the current shunt to the ground is large when the conventional high-voltage diode is conducted in the forward direction. In the high-voltage parallel diode adopting the structure of the invention, an N-type antimony buried layer is added in addition to a conventional N-type arsenic buried layer and is arranged in front of all the working procedures, so that the concentration of the N-type antimony buried layer can be very concentrated, and the performance of other devices is not influenced. As is known, when a diode is conducted in the forward direction, the current shunting to the ground is caused by the conduction of a parasitic PNP transistor of the diode to the ground, and the amplification factor of the parasitic PNP transistor directly determines the magnitude of the current shunting to the ground. The larger the amplification factor is, the larger the shunt to the ground when the diode is in forward conduction is, and the smaller the shunt is. The amplification factor of the parasitic PNP transistor is mainly determined by the concentration and width of the base region (i.e., the N-type buried layer). In the high-voltage parallel diode with the structure, because a layer of thick N-type antimony buried layer is added, the concentration of the base region of the parasitic PNP tube is concentrated, and the width of the base region is widened, so that the amplification factor of the parasitic PNP tube is reduced, and the shunt to the ground when the diode is conducted in the forward direction is reduced. In addition, the high-voltage parallel diode with the structure of the invention has an advantage compared with the conventional high-voltage diode. The conventional high-voltage diode is formed by splicing an anode semiconductor region and a cathode semiconductor region, the voltage drop during forward conduction is the product of the sum of the body resistances of the two semiconductors and the product of the product multiplied by forward current, and the result is that when certain forward current flows through the diode, the generated forward voltage drop is larger, so that the power consumption consumed on the diode body is larger, and more energy is wasted. In the high-voltage parallel diode, a PNP tube with a short-circuited collector and base is connected with a conventional diode in parallel. The emitter of the PNP tube is reused as the anode of the conventional diode, namely as the anode of the whole high-voltage parallel diode. The collector and base short-circuit terminal of PNP tube are connected with cathode of conventional diode, and used as cathode of whole high-voltage parallel diode. The effect of this is that when the high voltage parallel diode is conducted in the forward direction and a certain forward current flows, the forward current mainly flows through the PNP part of the high voltage parallel diode, and the current flowing through the diode part is very small because the PNP part has an amplifying effect, and the voltage drop between the emitter and the collector generated when the current flows through the two ends of the emitter and the collector is very small. Therefore, the forward current of the same diode flows, the forward conduction voltage drop of the high-voltage parallel diode adopting the structure of the invention is definitely smaller than that of the conventional high-voltage diode, and the power loss on the body when the diode is conducted can be effectively reduced.
Through experiments, a high-voltage diode with a conventional structure and a high-voltage parallel diode of the invention are compared on the same process platform. The same diode forward current is fed at the same diode area and reverse breakdown voltage and the high voltage parallel diode of the present invention is found to have a ground current draw about 30% less than that of the conventional structure. The specific data are as follows: the area of each diode is 425 square microns, the reverse breakdown voltage is 160 volts, and the forward inflow current of each diode is 1 ampere. The current flowing out of a diode is 0.564 ampere, the shunt current to the ground is 0.436 ampere, and the shunt proportion is 43.6 percent by adopting a conventional structure; by adopting the high-voltage parallel diode structure, the current flowing out of the diode is 0.883 ampere, the shunt current to the ground is 0.117 ampere, and the shunt proportion is 11.7%. Therefore, under the same current at the diode outlet end, the current at the current inlet end required by adopting the high-voltage parallel diode structure of the invention is about 30 percent less than that of the conventional structure, namely the diode area can be correspondingly reduced by about 30 percent. In addition, the forward conduction voltage drop of the high-voltage parallel diode is about 20 percent smaller than that of the conventional structure when the same diode area flows through the same diode current. The specific data are as follows: the area of each diode is 425 square microns, and the current flowing through each diode is 0.5 ampere. The conventional structure is adopted, and the forward conduction voltage drop of a diode is 0.96 volt; by adopting the high-voltage parallel diode structure, the forward conduction voltage drop of the diode is 0.77 volt. Therefore, under the same diode current, the power loss of the high-voltage parallel diode structure is about 20% less than that of the diode with the conventional structure.
