Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a low voltage Zener diode having a stable characteristic and high reliability by a method wherein an ion implanted layer having a first conductive type impurity concentration peak at the position deeper than a junction part is provided. CONSTITUTION:N type impurity P ions are implanted to an n<++> type epitaxial layer 2 on an n<+> type Si substrate 1 using an SiO2 film 9 as a mask to provide an n<+++> type layer 8. Then p type impurities B are deposited to be diffused in the layer 8 to form a p<+> type layer 3. Implanting energy and the condition of concentration are so decided as to make depth xj of p-n junction to be smaller than the impurity concentration peak RP of the layer 8. Then, W, Cr, Ag are evaporated in order on the layer 3 to adhere an anode 5, and Au and Ag containing Sb are evaporated in order on the under surface of the substrate to adhere a cathode 7. According to this construction, junction depth can be made far deeper than usual, junction punch through, reversely directional current inferiority, etc., to be generated when sintering of the electrode is performed can be checked, and moreover the steep imurity concentration grade can be held even when junction depth is made deep, and the low voltage Zener diode can be obtained having favorable yield.

However, such conventional low-voltage Zener diodes cause problems such as uneven Zener voltage, short circuits due to contact electrode junction penetration, reverse current (engineering) defects, and junction breakdown due to surge currents. .

When the present inventor studied these problems, the following became clear.

するために、接合深さXjを0.02〜0.04μmと
浅くすることに原因がある。
The non-uniformity of the Zener voltage is caused by increasing the impurity concentration gradient, as shown in the impurity concentration curve (vertical axis: logarithmic axis of impurity concentration N(x), horizontal axis: diffusion depth) in the conventional product in Figure 2. Another reason is that the junction depth Xj is made shallow to 0.02 to 0.04 μm.

勾配が緩かになってしまい頭書の目的が果せなくなる。
That is, since it is necessary to make the boron diffusion time (boron deposit time) extremely short, such as several minutes at around 900 C, in order to form a shallow junction, the variation in the amount of boron deposited becomes relatively large. In order to make the amount of boron deposited uniform, it is possible to lengthen the deposition time, but if the deposit time is lengthened, the junction depth becomes deep and the impurity concentration gradient becomes gentle, which defeats the purpose mentioned in the introduction.

In addition, the contact electrode bond penetration, ↓8 defect,
Junction breakdown due to surge current can be prevented by increasing the junction depth, but as described above, increasing the junction depth makes it impossible to obtain a steep impurity concentration gradient.

For this reason, conventional Zener diode structures and manufacturing methods have poor mass production stability, resulting in lower yields and higher costs.

Further, as a countermeasure to the above, there is a structure in which doped polysilicon is provided on the junction, but this is still problematic in terms of mass production stability.

According to such an embodiment, the pn junction depth can be made much deeper than that of conventional products. Therefore, the occurrence of short circuits due to junction penetration during sintering of W contact electrodes, reverse current defects, junction breakdown due to surge currents, etc. can be suppressed, improving reliability and increasing the junction depth. This means that the impurity diffusion time can be made longer than in the past, and the diffusion can be stabilized, which stabilizes the Zener voltage and improves yield.

On the other hand, in this example, the impurity concentration gradient is gentle because the impurity diffusion is deep, but since the opposite conductivity type determining impurity is implanted in the region where the junction is formed,
The impurity concentration gradient of this implanted layer acts to increase the gradient. As a result, even if the junction depth becomes deeper than before, a steep impurity concentration gradient can be maintained, and a low Zener diode can be manufactured.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, since the junction can be made deep, breakdown at the surface and the periphery of the p+ type diffusion layer can be suppressed, and the guard ring that was conventionally provided is not particularly necessary. can be abolished. Therefore, cost reduction can be achieved by simplifying the process.
