(6) (6)200305297 (2 ),而形成平面PN接合,因此可取得所期望的耐壓 〇 N-型領域(3)係包圍內側接合領域(8)而形成環狀 ,且使對P +型領域(2 )直接接合的外側接合領域(9 ) 與P +型領域(2 ) —起形成。又,N-型領域(3 )具備: 朝向N +型領域(1)的碟狀凹部(la)而成前面變窄的環 狀傾斜面(3 a )(第2圖的虛線所示者),及包圍傾斜面 (3 a )的水平平坦面(3 b )。並且,傾斜面(3 a )及平坦 面(3b )會PN接合於P +型領域(2 )。又,外側接合領 域(9 )具備:由半導體基板(4 )的側面露出的外端部( 9a)。又,從形成於含高濃度雜質的P +型領域(2)與含 低濃度雜質的N-型領域(3 )之間的外側接合領域(9 ) 擴展的空乏層會寬廣地形成,特別是會擴展於含低濃度雜 質的N-型領域(3 )側。因此,在施加逆方向的偏壓時, 即使在外側接合領域(9 )的外端部(9a )附著有害物質 ,照樣不會產生擊穿電壓。並且,在本實施形態中設有 N-型領域(3)的傾斜面(3a)及P +型領域(2)的傾斜 面(2a ),而來拉長從外端部(9a )到內側接合領域(8 )的距離,抑止因附著物而造成的耐壓變動。 如第3圖所示,在製造二極體(10)時,首先準備一 形成有含高濃度磷的N +型領域(1 )之半導體基板(4 ) ,且使N-型領域(3 )成長於N +型領域(1 )上,或使雜 質擴散於N-型領域(3 )的底部,而形成N +型領域(1 ) ,藉此於N +型領域(1 )上設置N-型領域(3 )。在第3 -10- (7) (7)200305297 (a )圖中,藉由外延成長法來使含低濃度雜質的型 領域(3 )薄薄地層疊於含高濃度雜質的Ν +型領域(1 ) 上。在半導體基板上維持結晶性來使其他結晶層成長的外 延成長法,可於成長過程中摻雜雜質。就本實施形態而言 ,是在反應容器(未圖示)內配置具有Ν +型領域(1 )的 半導體基板(4 ),在1 1 0 0〜1 2 0 0 °C的高溫下流入甲矽烷 (SiH4 )氣體及氫氣,而使矽原子連續層疊於半導體基板 (4 )的底層矽的結晶格子。同時,混合磷化氫(PH3 )等 含雜質磷的摻雜劑氣體,在N +型領域(1 )上層疊N-型 領域(3 )。 其次,藉由鈾刻來去除形成於半導體基板(4)上的 N-型領域(3 )的內側表面,如第3 ( b )圖所示,使到 達N +型領域(1 )的凹部(7 )像第2圖所示那樣在N·型 領域(3 )內側形成圓形狀。在此,雖可將凹部(7 )的最 下部(7a)設置於比N +型領域(1 )與N-型領域(3 )的 接合面還要靠上方或下方,但在本實施形態中是將最下部 (7a)設置於N +型領域(1)內,而使P +型領域(2)能 夠確實地接觸於N +型領域(1 )。並且,使凹部(7 )的 側面形成曲率半徑大之緩和的曲面狀,藉由具有圓形內緣 的N-型領域(3 )來包圍凹部(7 )的側面。 接著,在露出N +型領域(1 )的凹部(7 )上及包圍 凹部(7 )的N-型領域(3 )上,使和N +型領域(1 )不 同導電型的高濃度雜質(例如,硼)擴散,而如第3 ( c )圖所示,形成含高濃度硼的P +型領域(2 ),且使P + -11 -

Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a semiconductor device having a withstand voltage and stability and a manufacturing method thereof. [Prior art] A conventional mesa-type structure (40) shown in FIG. 8 is provided with a semiconductor substrate (24). The semiconductor substrate (24) is an N + -type field (21) and N- And a pair of electrodes (25, 26) formed on the lower surface and upper surface of the semiconductor substrate (24). ). The N-type region (23) contains impurities at a lower concentration than the N + -type region (21) and the P + -type region (22). In the diode (40) of FIG. 8, the PN junction region (2S) between the P + -type region (22) and the N-type region (23) is formed into a planar shape, and the semiconductor substrate (24) An end portion (28a) of the PN junction area (28) is formed on the inclined side surface that is extended upward from the lower side. In a semiconductor substrate (24) having a mesa-type structure (40) with an inclined side surface, an empty layer (not shown) formed between the N-type semiconductor field and the P-type semiconductor field is changed from the P + type field ( 22) The PN junction area (2S) with the N-type area (23) is extended to the end portion (28a) of the semiconductor substrate (24). Therefore, in the diode (40) of FIG. 8, it is possible to obtain a value equivalent to 値 calculated theoretically from the impurity concentration of the P + -type region (22) and the N-type region (23) constituting the planar PN junction. Withstands pressure and achieves high pressure resistance. -5- (2) (2) 200305297 The diode (50) of the conventional planar structure shown in FIG. 9 is the same as the diode (40) of FIG. 21), a semiconductor substrate () of the N-type region (23) and the P + -type region (22), and an electrode pair formed on the outside of the N + -type region (21) and the P + -type region (22), respectively ( 25,26), and in addition to the above, the P + -type field (22) is surrounded by the N-type field (23). The PN junction field between the P + -type and N-type fields (22,23) (38 ) Includes: an end portion (3Sa) formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate (34) and covered with a protective film (37), and a curvature portion (3Sb) of PN junction bending. The diode is manufactured in FIG. 9 When the body (50) is formed, the protective film (37) of silicon dioxide (Si02) is formed by comprehensively oxidizing the N-type region (23), and the protective film (37) is partially etched and removed. The exposed part of the N-type region (23) forms the P + -type region (22) by diffusion, so the end portion (38a) will always be protected by the protective film (37) whether during or after manufacturing. Cover it The diode with high pressure resistance caused by the attachment can obtain a highly reliable diode. [Summary of the Invention] [Questions to be Solved by the Invention] The diode (40) of the mesa structure shown in FIG. A theoretically calculated high withstand voltage can be obtained as described above, but since the end portion (28a) of the PN junction τιΙ domain (28) is exposed, a breakdown voltage may be caused by adhesion to the side surface of the semiconductor substrate (24). As shown in Figure 8, even if the end portion (28a) is covered by the protective film (27) -6- (3) (3) 200305297, impurities will remain in the protective film ( 27) It is attached to the end portion (28a) during manufacturing before formation, which deteriorates the pressure resistance performance and cannot obtain a highly reliable diode. In contrast, the planar structure diode (50) shown in Figure 9 After the protective film (37) is formed, the P-type impurity source is diffused in the N-type region (23), so the end portion (38a) of the PN junction region (38) will enter the protective film by lateral diffusion. (37) and N-type area (23), so that the end portion (3 8 a) will not be exposed, so it will hardly Due to the influence of attachments, the diode's withstand voltage change is not easy to occur. However, the curvature portion (38b) of the PN junction area (3S) with a small curvature radius locally generates an electric field concentration, which makes it easy to reach the critical electric field. Compared with the diode (50) of the planar structure of FIG. 9 and the diode (40) of FIG. 8, the breakdown voltage is lower and a high withstand voltage cannot be achieved. Furthermore, it is difficult to obtain a theoretical calculation. A problem occurs in that it is difficult to design a device due to a breakdown voltage. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device having a stable breakdown voltage without a breakdown voltage and a manufacturing method thereof. It is another object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device which can achieve the desired breakdown voltage close to the theoretical breakdown voltage 且, and have easy device design.

In the field (1) and the second semiconductor field (2), the third semiconductor field (3) has a low concentration of impurities. The first semiconductor region (1) and the second semiconductor region (2), each having a higher impurity concentration than the third semiconductor region (3), form an inner junction region that directly joins each other and forms an electric field concentration point (break down point) ( 8 ). Moreover, the third semiconductor field (3) is formed into a loop including the inner bonding field (8), and the outer bonding field (9) joined to the first semiconductor field (1) or the second semiconductor field (2), In addition, a wide empty layer is formed in the outer bonding area (9). Therefore, it is difficult to generate electric field concentration when a reverse bias is applied. Even if impurities are attached to the outer bonding area (9), the breakdown voltage does not change. . The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention includes: a process of providing a third semiconductor field (3) containing a low concentration of impurities on a first semiconductor field (1) containing a high concentration of impurities; and a third semiconductor field (3) ) To form a recess (7) reaching the first semiconductor region (1); and a third semiconductor region (3) that exposes the recess (7) of the first semiconductor region (0) and surrounds the recess (7) A second semiconductor field (2) containing a high-concentration impurity of a conductivity type different from that of the first semiconductor field (1) is formed thereon, and the second semiconductor field (2) and the first semiconductor field (1) are directly joined to form an inner side. The bonding area (8), and the second semiconductor area (2) and the third semiconductor area (3) are directly bonded to form an outer bonding area that surrounds -8- (5) (5) 200305297 (8) 9).

Along with the recess (7) formed on the diode (10), the P + -type region (2) will be formed on the N + -type region (1) with a uniform thickness. The inside of the substrate (4) is approximately at the center: a flat bottom surface (2a) and a curved inclined surface (2b) of the P + type region (2) and a dish-shaped recess (1 a) formed inside the N + type region (1). ) Will be directly inside the PN joint Domain (8). Since the inner junction domain (8) is a direct junction between the N + -type domain (1) and the P + -type domain containing higher concentrations of impurities than the N-type domain (3) -9-(6) (6 ) 200305297 (2) to form a planar PN junction, so that the desired pressure resistance can be achieved. The N-type region (3) surrounds the inner joint region (8) to form a ring, and the P + -type region (2 ) The directly joined outer joint area (9) is formed together with the P + -type area (2). Further, the N-type region (3) is provided with a ring-shaped inclined surface (3a) having a narrowed front surface toward the dish-shaped recess (1a) of the N + -type region (1) (shown by a dotted line in FIG. 2). , And a horizontal flat surface (3b) surrounding the inclined surface (3a). The inclined surface (3a) and the flat surface (3b) are PN-bonded to the P + -type region (2). The outer bonding area (9) includes an outer end portion (9a) exposed from a side surface of the semiconductor substrate (4). In addition, the empty layer extended from the outer junction region (9) formed between the P + -type region (2) containing a high-concentration impurity and the N-type region (3) containing a low-concentration impurity is broadly formed, especially It will expand to the N-type area (3) side with low concentration of impurities. Therefore, when a reverse bias is applied, even if a harmful substance is attached to the outer end portion (9a) of the outer joint region (9), a breakdown voltage will not be generated. Moreover, in this embodiment, the inclined surface (3a) of the N-type area (3) and the inclined surface (2a) of the P + type area (2) are provided to stretch from the outer end portion (9a) to the inner side. The distance of the bonding area (8) suppresses the pressure fluctuation caused by the attachment. As shown in FIG. 3, when manufacturing the diode (10), first, a semiconductor substrate (4) formed with an N + -type region (1) containing a high concentration of phosphorus is prepared, and the N-type region (3) is prepared. Grow on the N + -type region (1), or make the impurities diffuse at the bottom of the N-type region (3) to form the N + -type region (1), thereby setting N- on the N + -type region (1) Type field (3). In Fig. 3-10- (7) (7) 200305297 (a), the epitaxial growth method is used to thin the type field containing low concentration impurities (3) on the N + type field containing high concentration impurities ( 1) Up. An epitaxial growth method that maintains crystallinity on a semiconductor substrate to grow other crystal layers can be doped with impurities during the growth process. In this embodiment, a semiconductor substrate (4) having an N + -type region (1) is arranged in a reaction container (not shown), and flows into the substrate at a high temperature of 1 1 0 to 12 0 ° C. Silane (SiH4) gas and hydrogen, so that silicon atoms are continuously stacked on the crystal lattice of the bottom silicon of the semiconductor substrate (4). At the same time, a dopant gas containing impurity phosphorus such as phosphine (PH3) is mixed, and an N-type region (3) is laminated on the N + -type region (1). Next, the inner surface of the N-type region (3) formed on the semiconductor substrate (4) is removed by uranium engraving. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the concave portion (1) reaching the N + -type region (1) is removed ( 7) A circular shape is formed inside the N-type area (3) as shown in FIG. 2. Here, although the lowermost portion (7a) of the recessed portion (7) can be provided above or below the joint surface of the N + -type area (1) and the N-type area (3), in this embodiment, The lowermost part (7a) is provided in the N + -type region (1), and the P + -type region (2) can be reliably contacted with the N + -type region (1). Further, the side surface of the recessed portion (7) is formed into a gently curved surface with a large curvature radius, and the side surface of the recessed portion (7) is surrounded by an N-type region (3) having a circular inner edge. Next, on the recess (7) exposing the N + -type region (1) and the N-type region (3) surrounding the recess (7), a high-concentration impurity having a conductivity type different from that of the N + -type region (1) ( For example, boron) diffuses, and as shown in Fig. 3 (c), a P + type field (2) containing a high concentration of boron is formed, and P + -11-(8) (8) 200305297 type field (2) It is directly joined with the N + -type region (1) to form the inner joint region (8), and directly joined with the P + -type region (2) and the N-type region (3) to form the outer joint region surrounding the inner joint region (8). (9 ). Here, the diffusion of boron is performed by forming a solid thin film of boron containing an impurity source in the N-type region (3) and the recessed portion (7) by, for example, a solid diffusion method in which heat treatment is performed. The P + -type region (2) is formed along the N-type region (3) and the recess (7), and the P + -type region (2) along the lowermost portion (h) of the recess (7) is made flat. The bottom surface (2a) is directly bonded to the N + type region (1). With the formation of the P + -type region (2), the N--type region (3) is arranged between the N + -type region (1) and the P + -type region (2) to surround the inner joint region (8), and N The inclined surface (3a) and the flat surface (3b) of the -type region (3) are PN-bonded to the P + type region (2). In addition, the thickness of the P + -type region (2) formed by diffusion may be different from that of the N + -type region (1) and the N-type region (3). It is thick, so there will be some gaps between the inclined surface (2b) of the P + type area (2) and the inclined surface (3b) of the N-type area (3). Finally, a flat electrode (5) is connected below the N + type area (1), and an electrode (6) with a recess (6a) is connected above the P + type area (2), so as to form the figure 1 Of the diode (10). Then, a pair of electrodes (5, 6) are combined with a lead wire, and then sealed with resin or the like to form a product. In the case of the diode (10), in the inner junction region (8), the empty layer is formed narrowly, and in the outer junction region (9), the empty layer is formed widely. Therefore, if the reverse direction of -12-200305297 (9) is applied to the above diode (10), the inner side of the two P-sides C1 penetrates only m and strikes N-, and the flow depends on the super-theoretical pressure of piezoelectric over-resistance.
