Description
SPECIFICATION
Semiconductor device
This invention relates to a semiconductor device having a plurality of pn junctions in a polycrystalline silicon layer.
Diodes have hitherto been formed in a polycrystal line silicon layer on an insulating layer by doping the polycrystalline silicon layer with different impurities.
Since the diodes this type can be formed between or over semiconductor elements such as resistors, diodes, transistors formed in a monocrystalline silicon substrate, a semiconductor device having the diodes formed in its polycrystalline silicon layer can enjoy a higher integration degree than that of a semiconductor device in which the diodes are formed together with other semiconductor elements in a monocrystalline silicon substrate.
Conventionally, a bidirectional diode circuit including two diodes 1 and 2 of opposite polarities connected in parallel with each other as shown in
Figure 1 is constructed by a semiconductor device as shown in Figures 2 and 3, for example. As is clearly shown in Figure 3, the diode 1 is formed by electrically connecting both a collector region 3 and a base region 4 of a transistor structure with an electrode 5 and connecting an emitter region 6 with an electrode 7. The diode 2 is formed in like manner, and is spaced from the diode 1. The two diodes 1 and 2 are connected by means of conductive layers Band 9.
In the conventional semiconductor device of this type, however, the connection of the separately formed diodes requires relatively large space or area to be covered.
The object of this invention is to provide a semiconductor device having a plurality of pn junctions and relatively limited in area covered.
In an aspect of this invention, there is provided a semiconductor device comprising an insulating layer, a plurality of first semiconductor regions of one conductivity type formed on the insulating layer, #a plurality of second semiconductor regions of a conductivity type opposite to that of the first semiconductor regions formed on the insulating layer to constitute a plurality of pn junctions in cooperation with the first semiconductor regions, at least two of the first semiconductor regions and at least two of the second semiconductor regions alternately adjoining one another to be arranged in the form of a closed loop.
According to this invention, a specified diode circuit can be made out of a relatively compact semi-conductor device by arranging semiconductor regions of different conductivity types in the form of a closed loop and short-circuiting undesired pn junctions by means of conductive layers.
This invention can be more fully understood from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a circuit diagram of a well-known bidirectional diode circuit;
Figure 2 is a plan view of a prior art semiconductor device constituting the bidirectional diode circuit shown in Figure 1;

Figures 7 and 8 are modifications of the semiconductor device shown in Figures 4 to 6;
Figure 9 is a plan view of a semiconductor device according to another embodiment of the invention;
Figure 10 is a circuit diagram of a conventional muting control circuit provided with a bidirectional diode circuit;
Figure 11 is a plan view of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the invention constituting the bidirectional diode circuit used in the muting control circuit of Figure 10; and
Figure 12 is a plan view of a semiconductor device according to a further embodiment of the invention.
Figures 4 to 6 show a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of this invention. The semiconductor device is provided with an insulating substrate 10 and a semiconductor region 12 formed on the insulating substrate 10. The semiconductor region 12 is made up by forming a polycrystalline silicon layer on the insulating substrate 10 by e.g.
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, selectively removing the central portion of the polycrystalline silicon layer by e.g. plasma etching method to form a space section 14, and then selectively doping regions 12-1 to 12-4 quartered by two lines intersecting at right angles at the space section 14 with p-and n-type impurities by e.g. ion implantation method. In this embodiment, the regions 12-1 and 12-4 are p-type regions, while the regions 12-2 and 12-3 are n-type regions. An insulating layer 16 is formed on the semiconductor region 12, and metal electrodes 18 and 20 electrically connecting the p- and n-type regions 12-1 and 12-2 respectively with the n- and p-type regions 12-3 and 12-4 are also formed on the semiconductor region 12 through contact holes defined in the insulating layer 16.
Here it is to be noted that the regions 12-1 to 12-4 are arranged in the form of a closed loop. Namely, the p-type region 12-1 abuts on the n-type region 12-2 to form a pn junction area, and abuts on and is electrically connected with the n-type region 12-3 by means of the metal electrode 18. On the other hand, the p-type region 12-4 abuts on the n-type region 12-3 to form a pn junction area, and abuts on and is electrically connected with the n-type region 12-2 by means of the metal electrode 20. Further, the p-type region 12-4 is isolated from the p-type region 12-1 by the space 14. The equivalent circuit of the semiconductor device shown in Figures 4 to 6 is identical with the one shown in Figure 1.The semiconductor device of Figures 4 to 6 can, however, be miniaturized by reducing the size of the space 14 for isolating the p- and n-type regions 12-1 and 12-2 respectively from the p- and n-type regions 12-4 and 12-3. For example, the space 14 can be given dimensions of 2y x 21l to 4Ft x 4u by plasma etching.
In this case, the area covered by the semiconductor device can be reduced to 10fit x 10#to to20fat x 20fit.
Figures 7 and 8 are sectional views of a semiconductor device according to another embodiment of the invention, and respectively correspond to the drawings of Figures 5 and 6. Like the semiconductor device shown in Figures 4 to 6, the semiconductor device of this embodiment has four semiconductor regions formed on an insulating layer 10. In the semiconductor device of Figures 4 to 6, the polycrystalline silicon layer is removed in the space 14 and dead regions. In this embodiment, however, portions of a polycrystalline silicon layer located in those regions are selectively oxidized to form oxide layers. Namely, a silicon oxide region 22 as an isolation region is formed in place of the space 14, and a silicon oxide layer 24 is formed on the periphery of the four regions including the regions 12-2 to 12-4.The semiconductor device of Figures 7 and 8 can also be miniaturized since the regions 12-1 and 12-2 can be isolated respectively from the regions 12-4 and 12-3 by means of the relatively small silicon oxide region 22.
Figure 9 is a plan view of a semiconductor device according to still another embodiment of the invention. This semiconductor device is provided with a semiconductor region 32 which is formed on an insulating layer in the same manner as the semiconductor region 12 of the semiconductor device shown in Figures 4to 6. The semiconductor region 32 includes a plurality of p- and n-type regions 32-11 to 32-44 alternately adjoining one another in both vertical and horizontal directions to be arranged in the form of a matrix. If the regions 32-22 is of the p-type, then the region 32-11, 32-13,32-31 and 32-33 are of the p-type, and the regions 32-12,32-21,32-23 and 32-32 are of the n-type. A desired diode matrix circuit can be made up by selectively forming electrodes on the p- and n-type regions formed in the aforesaid manner.
Figure 10 shows a well-known control circuit used in a muting circuit including a bidirectional diode circuit 40. In this control circuit, current sources 42 and 44 are each composed of a differential amplifier circuit which receives a reference voltage at one input terminal thereof and a control voltage atthe other input terminal. As the control voltage is changed, currents flowing through the current sources 42 and 44 take values (10 + Alto) and (10 hit), respectively. Here AlO varies with the variation of the control voltage. By thus changing the control voltage to vary the currents flowing through the current sources 42 and 44, currents flowing through diodes 40-1 to 40-4 of the diode circuit 40 are controlled.Output voltages at output terminals V1 and V2 are controlled in accordance with the currents flowing through these diodes 40-1 to 40-4. The output voltages from the output terminals V1 and
V2, together with an output voltage at an output terminal V3, are used to control a muting switch circuit (not shown).
Figure 11 a semiconductor device constituting the bidirectional diode circuit 40 used in the control circuit shown in Figure 10. This semiconductor device includes n-type regions 40-5 to 40-7, p-type regions 40-8 to 40-10, and conductive layers 40-11 to 40-13. The n-type region 40-5 abuts on the p-type region 40-9 to constitute the diode 40-1, the p-type region 40-8 abuts on the n-type region 40-6 to constitute the diode 40-2, the n-type region 40-7 abuts on the p-type region 40-9 to constitute the diode 40-3, and the p-type region 40-10 abuts on the n-type region 40-6 to constitute the diode 40-4.The conductive layer 40-11 electrically connects the regions 40-5 and 40-8 with the output terminal V1, the conductive layer 40-12 electrically connects the regions 40-6 and 40-9 with the output terminal V3, and the conductive layer 40-13 electrically connects the regions 40-7 and 40-10 with the output terminal
V2. Further, the regions 40-6 and 40-9 are electrically isolated from the regions 40-5 and 40-8, respectively, by an isolation region 40-14, and also isolated from the regions 40-7 and 40-10, respectively, by an isolation region 40-15.The semiconductor device shown in Figure 11 can be made far smaller than a device obtained by forming all the semiconductor elements of the circuit of Figure 10 in a monocrystalline silicon layer, since it can be formed on an insulating layer under which a semiconductor structure intended to constitute other semiconductor elements in the circuit of Figure 10 is formed.
Although illustrative embodiments of this invention have been described in detail herein, the invention is not limited to those precise embodiments. For example, the semiconductor region 12, which is divided into four sections in the embodiment of Figure 4, may be divided in some other number, e.g. six. Further, the isolation regions 14 and 22 may be of any other suitable shapes. Instead of using the conductive layer 40-12 in the embodiment of Figure 11, moreover, conductive layers may be provided separately for the p- and n-type regions to form a diode full-wave rectifier circuit. Such diode full-wave rectifier circuit can be obtained by dividing the semiconductor region 12 into six sections and selectively forming the conductive layers on the semiconductor region 12, as shown in Figure 12. In
Figure 12, regions 40-1 to 40-3 are of the p-type, while regions 40-4 to 40-6 are of the n-type. Further, a conductive layer 40-7 electrically connects the regions 40-1 and 40-4, and a conductive layer 40-8 electrically connects the regions 40-3 and 40-6. In this full-wave rectifier circuit, an AC input current is supplied to the conductive layers 40-7 and 40-8, and a DC output current is taken out from the conductive layers 40-2 and 40-5.
