Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a semiconductor structure, and more particularly, to a semiconductor structure having a stripe-shaped doped region.
Background
In a circuit system including a high voltage device, if a high voltage diode (HV diode) device is to be added additionally due to functional considerations, an N-well region is disposed below the HV diode device to form an isolation structure between the HV diode device and a substrate. However, the N-well region may cause a reduction in junction breakdown voltage (junction breakdown voltage) of the high voltage diode device, such that the high voltage diode device cannot meet the requirement of device operation.
At present, adjusting the concentration of the N well region is one of the methods for improving the junction breakdown voltage. However, although this method can moderately increase the junction breakdown voltage of the high voltage diode device, it will cause the breakdown voltage of other high voltage devices in the same circuit system to decrease, thereby affecting the electrical stability of these devices.
Therefore, it is desirable to develop a semiconductor structure that can increase the junction breakdown voltage of the high voltage diode device and maintain the electrical stability of other high voltage devices in the same circuit system.

Example 1
Testing of Breakdown Voltage (BV) of high Voltage diodes
Referring to fig. 5, in the present embodiment, both the conventional high voltage diode (HVdiode) and the high voltage diode (HVdiode) of the present invention are tested for Breakdown Voltage (BV) at the same time. The conventional high-voltage diode structure herein includes a high-voltage P-well region (HVPW), a high-voltage N-well region (HVNW), and a deep N-well region (DNW), wherein the high-voltage P-well region (HVPW) is a continuous doped region extending over the entire surface, the high-voltage N-well region (HVNW) surrounds the high-voltage P-well region (HVPW), and the deep N-well region (DNW) is located under the high-voltage P-well region (HVPW) and the high-voltage N-well region (HVNW). The high voltage diode structure of the present invention includes a plurality of stripe-shaped high voltage P-well regions (HVPW), a plurality of stripe-shaped high voltage N-well regions (HVNW), a high voltage N-well region (HVNW), and a deep N-well region (DNW), wherein the plurality of stripe-shaped high voltage P-well regions (HVPW) and the plurality of stripe-shaped high voltage N-well regions (HVNW) are spaced apart from each other, the high voltage N-well region (HVNW) surrounds the plurality of stripe-shaped high voltage P-well regions (HVPW) and the plurality of stripe-shaped high voltage N-well regions (HVNW), and the deep N-well region (DNW) is located below the plurality of stripe-shaped high voltage P-well regions (HVPW), the plurality of stripe-shaped high voltage N-. The Breakdown Voltage (BV) variation measured after the above-described device was tested is shown by curve a (conventional high voltage diode) and curve B (inventive high voltage diode).
As can be seen from fig. 5, the Breakdown Voltage (BV) (curve a) of the conventional high voltage diode does not reach 40 volts (V), which is far from the value of the Breakdown Voltage (BV) required for the operation of the conventional high voltage device. The high voltage diode of the present invention has a high voltage P-well (HVPW) and a high voltage N-well (HVNW) designed as a plurality of strip-shaped doped regions, which are arranged at intervals, thereby greatly increasing the junction area of PN, so that the high voltage diode can effectively disperse the generated electric field during operation, and further increase the value of the Breakdown Voltage (BV) (curve B) thereof to more than 60 volts (V).
The invention replaces the traditional high voltage P well region (HVPW) with whole extension doping by adjusting the doping interval to form a plurality of strip-shaped (strip) doping regions, and forms a special high voltage diode (HV diode) structure with a plurality of high voltage N well regions (HVNW) arranged at intervals. The arrangement of the plurality of strip-shaped doped regions greatly increases the junction area of PN, so that the generated electric field can be effectively dispersed when the high-voltage diode operates, and the Breakdown Voltage (BV) of the high-voltage diode can be greatly improved by over 80 percent even in the presence of a deep N well region (DNW). In addition, the invention can directly introduce the high-voltage diode structure without changing MOS manufacturing process, injection condition and mask combination, and does not influence the Breakdown Voltage (BV) of other high-voltage elements arranged in the same circuit system with the high-voltage diode structure, thereby ensuring the electrical stability of the high-voltage elements and further maintaining the stability and efficiency of the whole circuit.
The features of the above-described embodiments are helpful to those skilled in the art in understanding the present invention. Those skilled in the art should appreciate that they may readily use the present disclosure as a basis for designing or modifying other processes and structures for carrying out the same purposes and/or achieving the same advantages of the embodiments introduced above. It should also be understood by those skilled in the art that such equivalent substitutions may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and that changes, substitutions, or alterations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
