Definitions
- This invention relates in general to transistors and more specifically to an N type extended drain transistor with a buried P type region.
- An extended drain transistor such as a laterally diffused MOSFET (LDMOS) generally includes a drain region that is electrically spaced apart from a channel region by a drift region. When in a conductive state, the charge carriers flow from the source, through the channel region, through the drift region, to the drain region.
- Extended drain transistors are typically used in high frequency and/or high voltage applications such as for high power RF amplifiers, power switches, and power supplies.
- an N type extended drain transistor can be implemented in an P type epi body region formed over a buried dielectric layer.
- FIGS. 1-4 are partial cutaway side views of a wafer during various stages in the manufacture of a transistor according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a partial top view of a wafer during the manufacture of a transistor according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram of a circuit implementing a transistor according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- an N type extended drain transistor formed from a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) wafer.
- the transistor has a buried P type region formed by the implantation of P type dopants in a semiconductor layer of the wafer at a location directly below a drift region of the transistor.
- the transistor also includes a source located in a P well region and a drain.
- the buried P type region is in electrical contact with the P well region.
- the N type drift region, the source, and the drain are also located in a portion of the semiconductor layer that is laterally surrounded by dielectric isolation.
- the semiconductor layer has a thickness of 2 microns or less.
- the buried P type region has a net conductivity of P type dopants at a sufficient concentration to ensure full drift region depletion under reverse drain bias when the substrate is biased at a higher voltage than the source of the transistor.
- the buried P type region has a sufficient doping to provide an additional mechanism for depleting the N type drift region from the bottom counteracting the higher substrate bias voltage.
- providing a buried P type region of sufficient doping allows for a fully depleted drift region under such conditions where the transistor body thickness (the thickness of the semiconductor layer) is relatively thin (e.g. as compared to the thickness of the buried dielectric layer) when the substrate voltage is higher than the source voltage.
- the semiconductor layer has a first thickness and is located above a buried dielectric layer of the SOI wafer that has a second thickness. The first thickness being in a range from 5 times greater or less than the second thickness.
- FIG. 1 is a partial cross sectional side view of a wafer 101 during a stage in a manufacture of an N type extended drain transistor according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- Wafer 101 includes a substrate 103 of a mono crystalline semiconductor material (e.g. silicon) which has specific crystal orientation (e.g. ⁇ 100>). In FIG. 1 , only a top portion of substrate 103 is shown.
- a buried dielectric layer 105 e.g. oxide
- a semiconductor layer 107 is located over layer 105 .

In other embodiment, only one transistor would be shown inFIG. 4 wheregates body contact regions source regions regions - After the stage of
FIG. 4 , silicide structures are formed on the source regions, drain regions, body contract regions, and gates for electrically coupling of those regions and structures.

FIG. 5 shows a partial top view ofwafer 101 with threeactive areas area 503. Extended drain N type transistors (includingtransistors 425 and 427) are formed inarea 505.Area 507 includes a number of CMOS transistors (represented by symbol 515). Anisolation structure 501 laterally surrounds eachactive area isolation structure 501 extends at least from the top surface oflayer 107 to the burieddielectric layer 105. In one embodiment,structure 501 is made of oxide and is formed by removing portions oflayer 107 at selective locations and filling partly or entirely with oxide.Structure 501 can be made by other processes (e.g. LOCOS) in other embodiments. In the embodiment shown, each area is laterally surrounded by a single contiguous isolation structure (501) to provide dielectric isolation. However, in other embodiments, an active area may be laterally surrounded by dielectric isolation with multiple dielectric structures. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , buried P type region 301 (as implanted and activated) does not extend to the inner side ofdielectric structure 501. As shown inFIG. 5 , alateral gap 509 exists between the inner side ofstructure 501 and the outer extent ofregion 301. In one embodiment, this lateral gap is at least 0.1 micron (e.g. 0.3 microns) after activation, but may be of other values in other embodiments depending on manufacturing tolerances. In one embodiment, leaving a lateral gap between the edge ofregion 301 and the inner side ofstructure 501 surroundingarea 505 may provide a process that does not implant or otherwise drive P type dopants into theisolation structure 501 to undesirably charge the isolation structure during operation. However, in other embodiment,region 301 extends to the inner side ofdielectric structure 501. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , the P type dopants that formregion 301 are not implanted intoareas region 301 allows for the ability to selectively apply such a relatively heavy doping of P type ions inarea 505, without affecting the other areas (503, 507) ofwafer 101. If the P type doping concentration forregion 301 was epitaxially grown or blanket implanted inlayer 107, then the other N type regions (203, 119, 415, 419) oflayer 107 would require a much heavier counter doping. - Referring back to
FIG. 4 ,region 301 extends all the way directly underN drift regions 203 andN well region 119. However, in other embodiments,region 301 would not extend to directly underN well region 119. Also in some embodiments,region 301 would only partially extend underN drift region 203. -
FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram ofcircuit 601 that utilizestransistors load 613.Circuit 601 is a symmetrical power supply that is capable of providing power to LOAD 613 at a voltage (VOUT) as high as VDD or as low as VSS (−VDD in the embodiment shown) during operation. In the embodiment shown,circuit 601 includes anAC source 603,resistors amplifier 607,extended drain transistor 611, andextended drain transistor 425.Amplifier 607 provides a differential output.AC source 603 provides an AC voltage to the non-inverting input ofamplifier 607. The inverting input ofamplifier 607 receives a feedback signal based on VOUT that is reduced by the voltage divider formed byresistors AC source 603 and the voltage of VOUT,amplifier 607 provides a control signal to the gate oftransistor 611 and a complementary control signal to the gate oftransistor 425. The source oftransistor 611 and the drain oftransistor 425 are coupled together to provide a VOUT that ranges between VDD and VSS (−VDD in the embodiment shown) based on the voltage of the output ofamplifier 607. In the embodiment shown, the feedback signal causes VOUT to track the voltage ofAC source 603. During operation, the voltage of the complementary output ofamplifier 607 can range from VSS to VDD. Accordingly, the gate voltage ontransistor 425 can have the same voltage range. - Because the
body contact 413 is tied to thesource region 415, the voltage (VB) of the body oftransistor 425 is biased at the voltage (VS) of thesource region 415, which in the embodiment shown is −VDD. In the embodiment shown,substrate 103 of the die oftransistor 425 is tied to ground. Accordingly, the source voltage is biased at a voltage below the substrate during operation. In some embodiments, VSS can be set at a voltage below ground (e.g. 0 to −200V) depending on the design of the circuit. In some embodiments, the voltage ofsubstrate 103 can be biased to a voltage above ground and VS can be at ground. In the embodiment shown, the VSS voltage is continuously applied to the source region oftransistor 425 and a ground voltage is continuously applied tosubstrate 103 during operation. In other embodiments, different voltages can be applied to either the source or substrate at different times during the operation of the circuit. - In one embodiment,
circuit 601 provides an alternating voltage between VDD and VSS to anexternal load 613 which can be e.g. an output filter of an amplifier for a speaker or antennae. However, in other embodiments,circuit 601 can be used in other applications (e.g. communication system, industrial control systems, automobiles, RF applications). The use ofextended drain transistors transistor 611 is located in another area (e.g.area 503 in embodiments wherearea 503 includes N type extended drain transistors like transistor 425) of the die isolated fromarea 505 bydielectric isolation structure 501 andamplifier 607 is located inarea 507 of the die (SeeFIG. 5 ). Although in other embodiments, the devices may be implemented on separate die. In other embodiments,transistor 425 can be implemented in other types of circuits (e.g. in a power amplifier circuit for a communication system). In other embodiments,transistor 427 may be implemented withtransistor 425 in parallel. - In some embodiments, an extended drain transistor (425) implemented on an SOI substrate (
substrate 103 and layer 105) may advantageously provide for a semiconductor device capable of high side operation (source voltage above substrate voltage) and low side operation (source voltage below substrate voltage) with latch-up immunity. Such properties may in useful in failsafe circuits such as in automotive applications and/or inductively loaded drivers. - In some embodiments, forming a transistor in a semiconductor layer that is 2 microns or less may enable the formation of a transistor without the utilization of deep isolation trenches to achieve isolation of the transistor active areas (e.g. 503, 505, 507). Accordingly, a high voltage transistor capable of low side operation may be formed in a cost-efficient manner. Furthermore, in some embodiments, having a
semiconductor layer 107 of 2 microns or less may allow for the formation of a transistor on a wafer without having to further epitaxially grow semiconductor material on asemiconductor layer 107, thereby reducing processing costs and complexities. - Utilizing a semiconductor layer (107) that is relatively thin with respect to the thickness of a buried dielectric layer (105) (e.g. where the ratio of the thickness of
layer 107 to the thickness oflayer 105 is 5 times or less) may provide for a high voltage transistor with desirable Ron*A characteristics where a double RESURF effect is utilized. “Ron” is the on-resistance in conductive state and A is the active transistor surface area. - In some extended drain transistors, a double RESURF effect is utilized to deplete the N type drift regions (e.g. 201, 203, 205, and a portion of
layer 107 betweenregion 301 and driftregion 203 which acts as a drift region) from the top by a conductive field plate (located abovewafer 101 in the view ofFIG. 4 but not shown inFIG. 4 ) or from the top by an elongated gate structure (403 and 407) as well as from the bottom by the capacitance from a biased substrate (103)/buried dielectric layer (105) of an SOI substrate. However, the bottom RESURF effect from the bottom capacitance of the substrate/buried dielectric layer capacitance may be absent when the substrate (103) is biased at a voltage above the source region (415). As a result, the off-state breakdown voltage (BVdsOFF) decreases as the source voltage drops below the substrate voltage. This is especially problematic where the semiconductor layer (107), in which the transistor is formed, is relatively thin (e.g. 5 times or less the thickness of) as compared to the thickness of the buried dielectric layer (105). - In some embodiments, the p-n junction formed between the relatively heavily doped (e.g. dose in the range of 1×1012 to 1×1013 cm−2 or higher in some embodiments) buried P type region (301) and the N type drift regions (201, 203, and 205 and a portion of layer 107) provides an additional bottom side RESURF mechanism for depleting the N type drift regions (201, 203, 205, and a portion of layer 107) from the bottom when the substrate voltage is above the source voltage (VS). Because
region 301 is electrically connected to the P well region (117),region 301 is biased at the same voltage as thesource region 415 during operation so as the provide the bottom RESURF mechanism even if the source voltage is below the substrate voltage. Also, in some embodiments, providing a relatively heavily doped buried P type region (301) may enable the Ntype drift regions layer 107 to be more heavily doped, which lowers drift region resistance and improves the Ron *A characteristics of the transistor. In some embodiments, adding a relatively heavily doped buried P type region may improve the BVdsOFF over a transistor without such a region by over 30% at source voltages greater than 50 Volts below the substrate voltage. In some embodiments, the buriedP type region 301 is sufficiently doped (e.g. dose in the range of 1×1012 to 1×1013 cm−2 or higher in some embodiments) that the Ntype drift regions layer 107 is fully depleted before the voltage gradients become high enough for junction breakdown to occur. - As used herein, when one object is “directly above” another object, it includes a portion that is above a portion of the another object in a line that is perpendicular and extends outward from a major active side of a substrate. For example, referring to
FIG. 4 ,body contact region 413 is directly aboveregion 121 but is not directly above Ntype drift region 203.Gate 403 is directly above Ntype drift region 201 but is not directly aboveregion 413. When one object is “directly below” another object, it includes a portion that is below a portion of the another object in a line that is perpendicular and extends outward from a major active side of a substrate. In the embodiment ofFIG. 4 , Ntype drift region 201 is directly belowgate 403 but is not directly belowgate 407. - In one embodiment, a method of making a transistor includes forming a source region and a drain region of a transistor in a semiconductor layer of a wafer.

The semiconductor layer has a first thickness of 2 microns or less. The source region and the drain region each have an N type net doping profile.

The method includes forming an N type drift region of the transistor with an N type net doping profile in the semiconductor layer. During a conductive state of the transistor, a current path is formed between the drain region and the source region through the N type drift region. The method includes forming a dielectric isolation structure. The N type drift region including a portion located directly below the dielectric isolation structure. The method includes forming a gate structure of the transistor over the semiconductor layer and selectively implanting P type dopant ions into the wafer to form a buried P type region in the semiconductor layer. The buried P type region has a P type net doping profile. The buried P type region is located directly below at least a portion of the N type drift region of the transistor. The buried P type region is in electrical contact with the P type well region. The drain region, the source region, and the N type drift region are located in a first area of the wafer wherein the semiconductor layer of the first area is laterally surrounded by dielectric isolation. The buried dielectric layer electrically isolates the semiconductor layer of the first area from the semiconductor substrate.
- Another embodiment includes a method for operating an extended drain transistor implemented in a die. The die includes a semiconductor layer, a semiconductor substrate, and a buried dielectric layer located between the semiconductor layer and the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor layer has a first thickness that is 2 microns or less. The semiconductor layer includes a portion located in a first area of the die and is laterally surrounded by dielectric isolation.
