Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an element having an area approximately equivalent to that of a surface breakdown Zener diode and to decrease the dynamic impedance, by providing high-concentration N- and P-type impurity regions in a P well formed of a P-type impurity burried in the substrate. CONSTITUTION:A P-type impurity is diffused in a P-type substrate 1, and an N-type epitaxial layer 3 is formed. Subsequently, a P-type impurity is diffused to form a P-type high-concentration impurity region 4 while, simultaneously, the P-type impurity region which has been burried in the P-type substrate 1 is diffused to the surface of the chip so as to form a P-type low-concentration impurity region 8 as a P well. An N-type impurity is then diffused to form an N-type high-concentration impurity region 5 simultaneously with the formation of a transistor emitter. Anode and cathode electrodes 6 and 7 are provided, respectively, in the P-type low-concentration impurity region 8 and the N-type high-concentration impurity region 5. According to this construction, the breakdown may occur within the semiconductor layer but not at the junction between the P-type low-concentration impurity region 8 and the N-type impurity region 5. Thus, a low-impedance path can be obtained for the anode.

In the conventional subsurface Zener diode described above, a KP type bulky impurity region 41 is provided around an N type high concentration impurity region 50 in order to guide the anode from the buried layer 2 to the surface of the chia 1 . In this structure, it is necessary to provide a sufficient distance between regions 5 and 41 so that the breakdown voltage due to the high impurity regions 5 and 41 does not become lower than the breakdown voltage of the subsurface Zener diode. Although it has superior electrical characteristics compared to a Zener diode that occurs on the surface, it has the disadvantage that the device area is several times larger. .

[Means for solving the problem] The subsurface Zener diode of the present invention forms a P-well by a P-type impurity region embedded in a P-type substrate,
[6 degree N type and Pfi impurity regions are formed in the P well. Since the P-well is formed by impurities embedded in the P-type substrate, the impurity degree is high inside the P-well and lowest at the tear 1 surface. Therefore, a low impedance path for the anode can be secured without breakdown at the junction between the P-well and the N-type high @concentration impurity region, and the dynamic impedance can be maintained with a device area approximately the same as that of a Zener diode, in which breakdown occurs at the surface of the impurity region. It is possible to achieve a low sub-ser 7 Eszener.
