Definitions
- Substrates with SOI semiconductor layers are known in which a monocrystalline semiconductor layer is arranged over a dielectric layer.
- the dielectric layer is usually the cover layer of a carrier substrate.
- Known substrates with SOI layers are, for example, semiconductor wafers which have a relatively thin monocrystalline oxide layer over an oxide layer. Have layer.
- Such substrates with SOI layers are, for example, with layer thicknesses of approx. 100 ⁇ to 1 ⁇ m thick for semiconductor devices and with thicknesses up to 500 ⁇ m for MEMS devices (Micro Electro Mechanical System). They offer the opportunity to lead structuring up to the dielectric layer and produce such as deep-reaching STI isolations ⁇ (shallow trench isolation) with which adjacent components and can be isolated completely safe to today.
- US Pat. No. 5,899,712 A discloses a process for the production of substrates with SOI layers in which the wafer bonding process is carried out a plurality of times, resulting in a multi-layer structure whose height corresponds to the number of superimposed wafers times their layer thickness. Subsequent substrates with only one SOI layer are then cut out of this multilayer structure by appropriate sawing methods.
- the object of the present invention is to specify a substrate with an SOI layer, which enables the production of further semiconductor components.
- the invention specifies a semiconductor substrate which has a multilayer structure comprising a carrier substrate, a dielectric layer and a semiconductor layer, wherein a continuous pn junction is formed in the semiconductor layer.
- the pn junction comprises at least one doped first partial layer and at least one oppositely doped second partial layer.
- the pn junction is integrated with the production of the sub-layers produced in the substrate and is not achieved by subsequent doping of a uniform substrate.
- a semiconductor component and in particular a semiconductor circuit can be realized, which can be realized with respect to surface-structured and therefore superficially doped substrates in a higher layer thickness of a respective sub-layer.
- a component with a large space charge zone can be realized with the semiconductor substrate, in particular a diode.
- the semiconductor substrate according to the invention has at least one monocrystalline SOI layer. It therefore combines the advantages of an SOI substrate with that of a doped conventional wafer.
- the dielectric layer allows a simple structuring up to the dielectric layer, which can serve as a natural ⁇ tzstop für or as another barrier during structuring.
- a partial layer of the semiconductor layer is lightly doped in the region of the pn junction.
- the other sub-layer is then preferably highly doped. This makes it possible to further increase the space charge zone and into the region of the weakly doped partial area. shift shift.
- the thickness of this part layer is then set to be higher than that of the highly doped 'sublayer advantageous.
- the semiconductor layer can then consist only of these two partial layers.
- the semiconductor layer comprises a first, relatively thin sub-layer with a high doping and of a first conductivity type, about a relatively thicker second sub-layer with a weak doping of the first conductivity type and about a third sub-layer with a weak doping of the second Conductivity type.
- the pn junction is formed between two partial layers with in each case weak doping and thereby generates a space charge zone which extends over relatively large layer thickness regions of the first and second doped layers.
- the first, heavily doped, thin sub-layer can serve to connect a device realized in the semiconductor substrate and can be connected in a simple manner by a trench led from the surface of the semiconductor substrate, which is subsequently filled with conductive material.
- the carrier substrate and the dielectric layer are realized in the form of a silicon wafer provided with an oxide layer.
- the oxide layer can be easily formed by zeroing the silicon in high dielectric quality and layer uniformity.
- a second dielectric layer and above a second monocrystalline semiconductor layer is disposed over the semiconductor layer.
- a substrate is obtained which has two semiconductor layer planes separated by a dielectric layer, in which different components can be realized. It is also possible to realize in this way a vertical integration of identical or cooperating different components. As a result, miniaturized semiconductor substrate material-saving devices having short wiring paths, therefore, short circuit times and low ESR values are obtained.
- the first partial layer with the high doping of the first conductivity type is a silicon layer doped with antimony (Sb).
- Antimony ions have a low diffusion rate in the silicon and are therefore particularly suitable for later processing and processing steps to survive at a higher temperature, without causing an inadmissibly strong diffusion takes place.
