Description

Low-offset Hall device adopting double protection rings and application method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to a low-offset Hall device adopting double protection rings and a use method thereof.
Background
In recent years, a hall sensor has become a mainstream magnetic sensor because of advantages such as low cost, low power consumption, high integration level and the like. The device can detect alternating current and direct current magnetic fields and generate output electric signals proportional to the magnetic field intensity, and is widely used in the fields of automobile control, battery chargers, brushless direct current motors, power meters, photovoltaic inverters and the like. Currently, hall sensors are developing towards high linearity, high precision and broadband, and higher requirements are being put on the high sensitivity and low offset characteristics of hall devices.
Silicon-based hall devices are most widely studied and used by virtue of low cost, high temperature stability, and good compatibility with standard CMOS processes. However, the integrated CMOS Hall device adopts the N well with higher doping concentration as an active region, so that the influence of ionized impurity scattering on carrier movement is increased, the mobility of the Hall device is reduced, and the sensitivity of the Hall device is lower. On the other hand, the output offset of the Hall device is very large due to uneven impurity concentration distribution of the N well, packaging stress and alignment error of a mask plate between a device contact hole and the N well in the CMOS process, and the offset voltage can reach several millivolts to tens of millivolts, so that weak Hall signals are submerged. In addition, the traditional Hall device generally only adopts a P-well ring to isolate an active region, and cannot overcome the interference of high-frequency signals and substrate noise in a circuit, so that the anti-interference capability of the Hall device is relatively poor, and the silicon-based Hall device cannot meet the working requirements of low magnetic field and high resolution, so that the critical technical problems of reducing the disorder of the Hall device, improving the sensitivity and the signal to noise ratio are urgently needed to be solved by the silicon-based Hall sensor.

in the proposed bias electrode A, B, C, D of the hall device, two opposite bias electrodes input equal-sized and opposite-direction current or voltage bias signals, and the other two opposite bias electrodes are grounded, for example, bias electrodes B and D are grounded when equal-sized and opposite-direction current or voltage bias signals are input in bias electrodes a and C; the Hall current or Hall voltage signal is output between two shorted output electrodes E (or H) and F (or G) of the Hall device; the first contact electrode J is connected with a high level; the proposed second contact electrode K is grounded.
Further, the substrate material of the proposed hall device is not limited to silicon (Si) semiconductor, but various semiconductor materials such as silicon germanium (SiGe), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), gallium nitride (GaN), silicon carbide (SiC), and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) may be used as the substrate.
Further, the N-well active region 104 of the proposed hall device may also be designed in octagon, diamond and circular structures.
The process steps for manufacturing the low-offset Hall device structure provided by the invention are as follows:
in step S1, an n+ buried layer 102 is first formed in a central region on a P-type substrate 101.
In step S2, a P-type epitaxial layer 201 is grown on the P-type substrate 101, and an isolation shallow trench 300 is formed on top of the P-type epitaxial layer 201.
And S3, forming a P-buried layer 103 in the epitaxial layer above the N+ buried layer 102, wherein the bottom of the P-buried layer 103 is connected with the top of the N+ buried layer 102.
In step S4, the N-well active region 104 is implanted into the P-type epitaxial layer 201 on the P-buried layer 103.
In step S5, a high-voltage N-well 202 is formed in the P-type epitaxial layer 201 around the N-well active region 104, and the bottom of the high-voltage N-well is connected to the top of the n+ buried layer 102.

when the hall bias electrodes A, C are biased by equal and opposite currents, and the other two bias electrodes B, D are connected to the ground and no external magnetic field is applied, the current density is the same near the four output electrodes E, F, G, H, and the output voltage is ideally 0, assuming that the overall concentration distribution of the N-well active region 104 is uniform.
Further, when a magnetic field is applied to the surface of the paper inwards, carriers are deflected by lorentz force, and simultaneously the four output electrodes are polarized, and under the actual condition, the impurity of the active region of the Hall device is unevenly distributed, so that the current density near the four output electrodes is asymmetric.
Further, the diagonal output electrodes E, H, F and G of the Hall device are short-circuited, so that current is forced to be uniformly distributed in the active region, offset caused by uneven resistivity, impurity concentration or uneven process stress is reduced, static offset signal elimination is realized, a current rotating technology is not needed, and parasitic capacitance of a front-end circuit is reduced.
Further, as the first contact electrode J is always connected with the high level and the second contact electrode K is always grounded, the transverse protection ring and the longitudinal protection ring can be reversely biased, leakage current and high-frequency signal interference in a circuit during working are reduced, and the anti-interference capability of the Hall device is enhanced.
Referring to fig. 6, a diagram is shown which is a comparative simulation of the output offset of the present invention and a conventional cross-shaped hall device structure.
Specifically, for the device structure shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, according to the technological process parameters of the high-voltage BCD process, the electrical characteristics of the low-offset hall device structure are simulated by using a Silvaco TCAD simulation tool, so that the comparison of the output offset of the low-offset hall device shown in fig. 5 and the output offset of the hall device with the traditional four contact holes is obtained, the output offset of the low-offset hall device is always below 1mV under the bias current of 0-5mA, and the output offset of the traditional cross hall device reaches about 4.5mV under the bias current of 5mA, which indicates that the scheme of the low-offset hall device designed by the invention has feasibility.
