Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a varactor, and more particularly, to a PN-junction varactor having improved quality factor (Q factor).
- a varactor is, essentially, a variable voltage capacitor.
- the capacitance of a varactor when within its operating parameters, decreases as a voltage applied to the device increases.
- Varactors are typically employed in voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) where a frequency of an oscillator is controlled by an applied current or voltage. In such instances, the VCOs are used when a variable frequency is required, or when a signal needs to be synchronized to a reference signal.
- VCOs voltage-controlled oscillators
- varactors Numerous varactors have been developed and are employed in integrated circuit technologies, for example, PN-diodes, Schottky diodes or MOS-diodes as a varactor in bipolar, CMOS and BiCMOS technologies.
- PN-diodes PN-diodes
- MOS-diodes MOS-diodes
- two varactor structures are most frequently used: the PN-junction varactor and the MOS varactor.
- the PN-junction varactor is predominantly used in LC oscillators. Both these structures can be implemented using standard CMOS processes.
- a prior art PN diode varactor is illustrated in a cross-sectional view.
- a substrate 10 includes an N-well 12 , and a plurality of isolation structures 14 , such as field oxide layer or shallow trench isolation (STI), on surfaces of the N-well 12 and the substrate 10 .
- the isolation structures 14 define a plurality of predetermined regions on the N-well 12 to form at least an N-type doping region 16 and a P-type doping region 18 , thus completing a diode structure having a PN junction.
- a depletion region occurs in the PN junction of the diode and acts as a dielectric, so that the N-type doping region 16 and the P-type doping region 18 separated by the dielectric form an equivalent capacitor.
- a width of the depletion region varies to change the equivalent capacitance of the varactor.
- a prior art MOS varactor is illustrated in a cross-sectional view.
- the prior art MOS varactor is formed on an N-well 22 .
- the prior art MOS varactor includes a polysilicon gate structure 26 serving as an anode of the MOS varactor, a gate oxide layer 28 between the gate structure 26 and the N-well 22 , and two N + doped regions 24 on both sides of the gate structure 26 , wherein the N + doped regions 24 , which are implanted in the N-well 22 , serve as a cathode of the MOS varactor.
- N type lightly doped drain regions 25 are also provided.
- the main drawback of the prior art PN junction varactor as set forth in FIG. 1 is a low maximum to minimum capacitance ratio and small quality factor (Q factor).
- the MOS varactor does not suffer on this account, with a high maximum to minimum capacitance ratio of roughly four to one for a typical 0.25 ⁇ m CMOS process.
- the MOS varactor's ratio increases in deep submicron processes due to the thinner gate oxide used.
- the MOS varactor's transition from maximum to minimum capacitance is abrupt. This gives a MOS varactor a small, highly non-linear voltage control range.
- a junction varactor includes a gate finger lying across an ion well of a semiconductor substrate; a gate dielectric situated between the gate finger and the ion well; a first ion diffusion region with first conductivity type located in the ion well at one side of the gate finger, the first ion diffusion region serving as an anode of the junction varactor; and a second ion diffusion region with a second conductivity type located in the ion well at the other side of the gate finger, the second ion diffusion region serving as a cathode of the junction varactor.
- the gate of the junction varactor is biased to a gate voltage V G that is not equal to 0 volt.

- the N-well 100 is electrically isolated by shallow trench isolation (STI) 200 .
- STI shallow trench isolation
- the substrate is an SOI substrate

Furthermore, to reduce sheet resistance of the varactor 80 , a salicide layer 103 is optionally provided on the exposed surface of the P + doping region 112 , the N + doping region 114 , and the N + doping region 116 .
- the present invention junction varactor has a lower resistance because there is no STI formed between the anode and cathode of the varactor. Therefore, the present invention junction varactor has a higher Q factor and better performance.
- the gate fingers 101 and 102 are preferably biased to a pre-selected voltage V G .
- the pre-selected voltage V G is a positive voltage such as V CC .
- the positive voltage provided to gate fingers 101 and 102 results in accumulated electrons in the channel regions that are located under the gate fingers 101 and 102 , thereby further reducing resistance of the varactor 80 .

- the deposition of the polysilicon layer may be fulfilled by conventional LPCVD.
- the gates may be made of metals.
- an NLDD ion implantation process is carried out to dope ions such as arsenic into the N-well 100 at one side of the gate 101 and at one side of the gate 102 , thereby forming an NLDD region 121 and NLDD region 122 .
- a PLDD ion implantation process is carried out to dope ions such as boron into the N-well 100 in the area between the gate 101 and the gate 102 , thereby forming a PLDD region 113 .
