Abstract
A description is given of two versions of an integrated structure in the emitter switching configuration comprising a high-voltage bipolar power transistor on a low-voltage MOS power transistor. In the vertical MOS version, the emitter region of the bipolar transistor is completely buried, partly in a first N-epitaxial layer and partly in a second N epitaxial layer; the MOS is located above the emitter region. The bipolar is thus completely buried active sturcture. In the horizontal MOS version, in a N-epitaxial layer there are two P+regions, the tint, which constitutes the base of the bipolar transistor, receives the N+emitter region of the same transistor; the second receives two N+regions which constitute the MOS source and drain regions, respectively; the front of the chip is provided with metal plating to ensure the connection between the MOS drain and the bipolar emitter contacts.
Description
.Iadd.This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/152,959, filed Nov. 12, 1993 now abandoned, which is a Reissue of 07/288,405 filed Dec. 21, 1988, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,065,213..Iaddend.
This invention relates to an integrated high-voltage bipolar power transistor and low-voltage MOS power transistor structure in an emitter switiching configuration and to a manufacturing process therefore.
Emitter switching is a circuit configuration in which a low-voltage power transistor (typically an MOS transistor) cuts off the emitter current of a high-voltage power transistor (typically a bipolar transistor) in order to switch it off. This configuration, which up until now was obtained by means of discrete components, offers the following advantages:
it increases the strength of bipolar transistor as far as the possibility of inverted secondary ruptures (ESB) occurring are concerned;
it combines the current and voltage carrying capacity of a piloted transistor and the high speed of a low-voltage transistor; and
it enables the system to be piloted directly with linear logic circuits, through the MOS gate.
In view of the advantages that an integrated circuit generally offers, as compared to an analog circuit obtained by means of discrete components, the object of this invention is to provide a high-voltage bipolar power transistor and a low-voltage MOS power transistor, connected together in the emitter switching configuration, and integrated in a single chip of semiconductor material.
The integrated high-voltage bipolar power transistor and vertical low-voltage MOS power transistor structure, in the emitter switching configuration of the invention comprises:
an N+ type semiconductor substrate,
an overlying semiconductor layer,
a first P type region buried in the aforesaid layer,
a second P type region connecting the first aforesaid region on the surface, the first and second region constituting the base region of the bipolar transistor, and
a third N+ type region adjoining the aforesaid first region from below and constituting the emitter region of the bipolar transistor.
According to the invention the semiconductor layer consists of a first N-type epitaxial layer and a second N-type epitaxial layer grown on it, the first region is located in the first epitaxial layer, in the vicinity of the surface adjacent to the second epitaxial layer, and the second region is located in the second epitaxial layer. The third region can consist of a completely buried layer located astride between the boundary of the first and second epitaxial layer, the body and source regions of the MOS can be located in the second epitaxial layer, in the vicinity of its surface and above the third region. The drain region of the MOS consists substantially of the region between the third region and the aforesaid body regions. Alternatively an integrated high-voltage bipolar power transistor and horizontal low-voltage MOS power transistor structure, in the emitter switching configuration comprises:
an N+ type semiconductor substrate,
an N- type expitaxial layer grown on the substrate,
a first P+ type region, constituting the base of the bipolar transistor, located in the layer in the vicinity of its surface, and
a second N+ type region, constituting the emitter of the bipolar transistor, adjoining the aforesaid first region from below and from the side and adjoining the surface of the layer from above. According to the invention in the N- type epitaxial layer and in the vicinity of its surface there is a third P+ conductivity region as well as a fourth and a fifth N+ type region. These latter regions constitute the MOS source and gate regions respectively and being adjacent from below and from the side to the aforesaid third region. The metal coatings of the MOS transistor drain and of the bipolar transistor emitter are interconnected by means of tracks of conductor material.
A process for manufacturing an integrated high-voltage bipolar power transistor and vertical low-voltage MOS power transistor structure, in the emitter switching configuration is characterized by the fact that:
a second N conductivity epitaxial layer, designed to constitute the drain region of the MOS transistor and at the same time automatically form the connection between the drain of the MOS transistor and the emitter of the bipolar transistor, is grown on the first epitaxial layer,
the body, the source and the gate of the MOS transistor are then created in the second epitaxial layer, by means of the known processes, in correspondence with the aforesaid buried emitter zone of the bipolar transistor, and
a P+ type region, which enables the base region of the bipolar transistor to be electrically connected on the surface, is also created at the side of said MOS transistor, by means of the known techniques of oxidation, photomasking, implantation and diffusion.
Alternatively, the process is characterized in that:
a second P+ type region, separated from the first by a region of the epitaxial layer, is created in the epitaxial layer simultaneously to said first region,
a fourth and a fifth N+ type region, designed to constitute the MOS source and drain region respectively, are created within the second region, and
the deposition of tracks of conductor material designed to electrically interconnect the emitter and drain metal coatings is carried out simultaneously to the deposition of the films of conductor material designed to form the gate terminals and the metal coatings which ensure the ohmic contact with the MOS source and drain regions and with the base and emitter regions of the bipolar transistor.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of my invention will become more readily apparent from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying highly diagrammatic drawing in which:

FIG. 12 is a section which shows a schematic representation of the structure obtained at the end of the process referred to in FIGS. 10-11.
FIG. 1 shows the equivalent electrical circuit of the 4-terminal integrated structures that the invention intends to provide.
This circuit consists or a high-voltage bipolar power transistor T connected by means of its emitter to the drain of a low-voltage MOS power transistor P.
The various stages of the manufacturing process of the integrated structure, in the vertical MOS version, are described hereunder.
A first high resistivity N- conductivity epitaxial layer 2 is grown on an N+ type substrate 1 (FIG. 2). A P+ type region 3 is then obtained, by deposition or implantation and subsequent diffusion, on said layer 2 (FIG. 3). An N+ type region 4 is then obtained by means of the same process (FIG. 4). This is followed by the growth of a second N type epitaxial layer 5 (FIG. 5) and, by the known procedures of oxidation, photomasking, implantation and diffusion, the creation of the P+ type regions 8, which enable the region 3 constituting the base of the bipolar transistor to be connected on the surface (FIG. 6). A low-voltage vertical MOS power transistor and in particular the relative P conductivity body regions 6, N+ type source regions 7 (FIG. 7), the gate 9 and the metal coatings 10, 11 and 14 for ensuring the ohmic contact with the regions 6, 7, 8 and the substrate 1 (FIG. 8) are then created in the area between the two regions 8, according to known procedures.
FIG. 8 shows the final structure, as it appears after addition of the terminals C (collector), B (base), S (source) and G (gate) and the insulating layer 12 of the gate 9 (said gate being connected to the relative terminal by means of the insulated conductor 13). Regions 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the figure constitute, respectively, the collector, the base and the emitter of a bipolar transistor, while region 5 constitutes the drain of the MOS. Said drain is consequently connected directly to the emitter of the bipolar transistor thus forming a structure having as its equivalent circuit the circuit of FIG. 1.
The emitter 4 represents a completely buried N+ type active region; by growing a second N type epitaxial layer 5 it is thus possible to connect the drain of the MOS to the emitter 4 of the bipolar transistor.
The profile of the concentration (Co) of the various types of doping agent in the different regions of the structure, along section A--A of FIG. 7, is shown in FIG. 9, where axis x refers to the distance from the upper surface of the structure.
The manufacturing process of the integrated structure, in the horizontal MOS power transistor version, includes the following stages.
A high resistivity N- type epitaxial layer 22, which is designed to constitute the collector of the bipolar transistor, is grown on a N+ type substrate 21 (FIG. 10). Two P+ type regions 23 and 24 are then created simultaneously on said layer, by the known processes of deposition or implantation and subsequent diffusion, the first of which being destined to act as a base for the bipolar transistor and the second to receive the MOS. By means of the known processes of oxidation, photomasking, deposition or implantation and subsequent diffusion, an N+ type region 25 which is destined to act as the emitter of the bipolar transistor is created within the region 23, while two N+ type regions 26 and 27 which are destined to act as the source and the drain of the MOS are created within the region 24 (FIG. 11). This is followed by the formation of the MOS gate 28, the gate insulating layer 29, the metal coatings 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34, which are designed to ensure the ohmic contact with the underlying regions, and lastly the connections to the terminals S, G, B and C (FIG. 12).
The aforesaid metal coatings also include the formation of a track 35 for connecting the drain D to the emitter E, so as to achieve the connection of the two transistors in the configuration of FIG. 1.
In both the vertical MOS and horizontal versions, the final structure obtained is provided with 4 terminals, 3 of said terminals being located on one face of the chip and the 4th on the other face.
The described process can obviously be used to simultaneously obtain, on the same chip, several pairs of bipolar and MOS transistors having a collector terminal in common and their base contacts, sources and gates connected to three respective common terminals by means of a metal coating carried out on the front of the chip at the end of the process.
