Description
技术领域
本发明涉及一种瞬态电压抑制二极管(transient voltage suppressing;TVS)的电路结构及其制造方法。尤其涉及一种使用沟槽隔离技术来制造垂直瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列的改良的电路结构及其制造方法,用以解决闭锁效应这一技术性上的困难。
背景技术
传统技术中,对于瞬态电压抑制二极管(TVS)阵列结构的设计与制造方法一直存在着一种技术性上的困难。该技术性的困难,也就是指在瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构中的多个PN结二极管通常是使用标准的互补式金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)制程步骤来形成在半导体衬底上,因此,往往会产生固有的PNP寄生晶体管与NPN寄生晶体管。在静电放电(electrostatic discharge;ESD)的情况下或发生瞬态电压时,会有较大的电压施加于瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构,寄生NPN晶体管或寄生PNP晶体管就会开启并触发闭锁(latch-up)效应,而导致一种突然且猛烈的电压骤回(snapback)现象。这种突然且猛烈的骤回现象极有可能会对于***的稳定性产生不可预期的影响甚至造成损害。另外,在瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构中的寄生NPN晶体管或寄生PNP晶体管的闭锁效应可能会进一步导致其它突如其然或不可预期的电压-电流瞬态(transient)变化。然而,由瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构中寄生NPN晶体管或寄生PNP晶体管的闭锁现象所造成的技术性难题却无法轻易地获得解决。
特别是,瞬态电压抑制二极管通常用于防止集成电路遭受突然的过电压而产生损害。一种集成电路被设计为在正常范围的电压下运行。然而,在许多情况下,例如静电放电时,电流会快速地产生瞬态变化并且减轻,而高电压可能就会突如其然且无法控制地对于电路造成冲击。当发生这种过电压的情况时,就需要瞬态电压抑制二极管去执行防护功能来避免可能会对集成电路造成的伤害。随着越来越多的器件是通过集成电路来实现的,集成电路将变得很容易受到过电压的损害,而对于瞬态电压抑制二极管的损害防护的需求也将随之增加。瞬态电压抑制二极管的典型应用包含有通用串行总线(USB)电源与数据线防护、数字影像接口(Digital video interface)、高速以太网络(Ethernet)、笔记本计算机、显示器以及平面显示器等。
图1A与图1B分别显示一种瞬态电压抑制二极管器件的电路图与电流-电压图。一种理想的瞬态电压抑制二极管应当可以在输入电压Vin小于击穿电压Vb时,将电流全部加以阻挡,即获得零电流(zero-current),从而最小化漏电流。再者,理想上,当输入电压Vin大于击穿电压Vb时,瞬态电压抑制二极管在这种情况下应该具有接近零的电阻,以致于瞬态电压能够被有效地抑制下来。一种利用具有击穿电压的PN结器件来实现的瞬态电压抑制二极管可以在瞬态输入电压超过击穿电压的情况时,允许电流传导而获得瞬态电压的防护。然而,如图1B中所示,由于PN结类型的瞬态电压抑制二极管具有高电阻,因此不具有少数载子并且其抑制效果不佳。同样地,利用双极型NPN/PNP来实现的瞬态电压抑制二极管具有双极型晶体管的雪崩触发(avalanche-triggered)启动,雪崩电流会随双极增益而放大,而基极将会涌进少数载子,且双极型瞬态电压抑制二极管能够获得较佳的抑制电压。
随着电子技术的发展,越来越多的器件与应用需要瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构来提供静电放电(ESD)防护,特别是针对于高带宽数据总线的防护。图2A为一种四沟道瞬态电压抑制二极管的电路图;图2B是瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构的侧面剖视图,仅仅显示了该阵列器件的核心部份。如图2A与图2B所示的瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列包含串联的若干个高压侧控向二极管(high-side steering diode)与低压侧控向二极管(low-side steering diode),其中高压侧控向二极管连接到Vcc,低压侧控向二极管连接到接地电位。高压侧控向二极管与低压侧控向二极管还并联一主线齐纳二极管(Zenerdiode),控向二极管比齐纳二极管小了许多并具有较低的结电容(junctioncapacitance)。此外,如图2C所示,这样的实施方法进一步产生另一个问题,也就是由于寄生NPN晶体管与寄生PNP晶体管所导致的硅控整流器(SCR)操作产生的闭锁效应。主线齐纳二极管击穿会触发其上的寄生NPN晶体管开启,进一步开启硅控整流器而造成闭锁效应。在高温时,即使寄生NPN晶体管并未开启,但流经寄生NPN晶体管的NP结的高的漏电流可能也会开启硅控整流器,从而导致闭锁效应。为了抑制由寄生PNP晶体管与寄生NPN晶体管所导致的硅控整流器操作产生的闭锁效应,如图2B所示,实施在半导体衬底上的实际器件需要在半导体衬底上横向延伸一段距离,此距离可以高达10微米或更多,但是其抑制效果通常不够有效。
如图3A与图3B所示,其说明在以太网络差分保护电路(Ethernetdifferential protection circuit)由于寄生PNP晶体管上的闭锁效应所导致的特殊困难。在此以太网络防护电路中,Vcc与接地管脚都是以浮置(floating)方式设置的。然而,在这个设计中的寄生的硅控整流器结构并不足够弱,仍会导致如图3B所示的突变电压的骤回现象。这样的突发与强烈的骤回现象可能会对于***的稳定性造成不可预期的影响甚至产生伤害。由于寄生PNP晶体管本来就存在于互补式金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)的制程中,且实际上Vcc与接地管脚浮置会让闭锁效应恶化,这些困难并无法轻易地获得解决。另外,也需要额外的埋入层(buried layers)来抑制寄生PNP晶体管的增益,这将导致复杂的器件结构与极高的制造成本。
因此,在电路设计和器件制造领域,仍然需要提供一种新颖改良的电路结构与制造方法来解决以上所述的各种困难。尤其是,目前仍然需要提供新颖改良的瞬态电压抑制二极管电路,以便能够有效率并容易地防止寄生PNP晶体管或寄生NPN晶体管的闭锁效应。

所述的开设若干个绝缘沟槽的步骤还进一步包含以下步骤:邻近该齐纳二极管开设若干个绝缘沟槽,将该齐纳二极管加以隔离,用以防止不同导电类型的掺杂区域之间的闭锁效应的发生。

具体实施方式
图4是根据本发明所提供的一种新颖改良的瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构的部份的侧面剖视图。如图所示,此部份的瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构100具有两个沟道,两沟道设置在N型衬底101的上表面的N型外延层105上,而N型衬底101的下表面则连接到施以电压Vcc的阳极端110。该瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列连接在设置在下表面的阳极端110与设置在连接接地电压的上表面上的阴极端120之间。瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构100进一步包含连接到第一输入输出(IO)端135的第一高压侧二极管125与第一低压侧二极管130。另外,瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构100进一步包含连接到第二输入输出(IO)端150的第二高压侧二极管140与第二低压侧二极管145。第一高压侧二极管125是形成来作为P型掺杂区域125-P与N型外延层105之间的PN结。第一低压侧二极管130是形成来作为N型掺杂区域135-N与设置在阴极端120下方的P型体区160之间的PN结,且第一输入输出(IO)衬垫135连接到第一低压侧二极管130的N型掺杂区域135-N,还连接到第一高压侧二极管125的P型掺杂区域125-P。第二低压侧二极管145是形成来作为N型掺杂区域145-N与设置在阴极端120下方的P型体区160之间的PN结,且第二输入输出(IO)衬垫150连接到第二低压侧二极管145的N型掺杂区域145-N,还连接到第二高压侧二极管140的P型掺杂区域140-P。较大区域的齐纳二极管170是由P型体区160与N型外延层105之间的PN结形成的。NPN晶体管能够被齐纳二极管170触发,且NPN晶体管是由N型射极区域155、P型体区160与N型衬底101所形成的,从而并不需要太大的电阻就可传导大的瞬态电流。另外,瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构100进一步包含第一绝缘沟槽180-1,其形成在第一高压侧二极管125与第一低压侧二极管130之间。瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构100进一步包含第二绝缘沟槽180-2,其形成在第二高压侧二极管140与第二低压侧二极管145之间。绝缘沟槽可以防止寄生NPN与PNP晶体管所造成的闭锁效应,而所述的寄生NPN与PNP晶体管是固有形成在由高压侧与低压侧二极管所形成的多个PN结之间的。
图5是根据本发明所提供的另一个新颖改良的实施方式的瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构的侧面剖视图。除了在器件100’中具有额外的若干个提供了更好的隔离作用的沟槽外,图5中的器件100’类似于图4中的器件100。沟槽180’-1与180’-2将低压侧二极管与主线齐纳二极管区域分隔开来,因此击穿横向NPN,而横向NPN是由N型区域155、P型体区160与低压侧二极管阴极区域135-N与145-N所构成。
图6是用来说明本发明的一种静电放电(ESD)防护或瞬态电压抑制二极管操作的电流-电压(I-V)图,由于减低了闭锁效应,而可明显减轻骤回现象。如电流-电压图所示,电流-电压曲线220显示出在瞬态电压抑制二极管阵列结构中半导体衬底上不同掺杂区域之间所形成的寄生NPN晶体管或寄生PNP晶体管的闭锁效应,可能将导致以高电压及电流去开启寄生NPN晶体管或寄生PNP晶体管,因此引发一种突发的骤回现象。因为绝缘沟槽180-1与180-2的作用,闭锁效应将获得减轻,而且骤回现象会大大地减少。如电流-电压曲线210即是在发生骤回现象时所取得的曲线,其突发的电压变化会强烈地引起***的不稳定。
虽然本发明以前述的实施例公开如上,然其并非用来限定本发明。在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,所进行的改动与润饰,均属本发明的专利保护范围。关于本发明所界定的保护范围请参考权利要求书。
