Description

用於CMOS積體電路的緊密保護環結構
本發明主要關於半導體元件。具體地說,本發明是指一種用於CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor,互補金屬氧化物半導體)積體電路的緊密保護環結構。
單片積體電路(IC)含有多個在半導體基材上製備的主動元件。還會形成反常的寄生元件,導致元件之間發生不必要的串擾。形成在P-基材上的CMOS積體電路通常包括一寄生NPN電晶體,由P-基材製成,一N-阱和另一N區。當寄生NPN電晶體觸發形成PNPN結構時,會發生積體電路的閉鎖。
對於引入高壓開關元件和額定電壓控制器電路的功率積體電路來說,閉鎖是一個非常嚴重的問題。功率積體電路上的功率元件開關時產生的瞬態電壓,會終止寄生NPN電晶體的發射極和基極接面的正向偏置,導致少數載流子注入基材。偏置或非偏置的保護環結構,已用於在積體電路中引入寄生電流的元件或電路絕緣。利用保護環結構,收集注入到基材中的不必要的少數載流子。例如,通常使用保護環,包圍橫向擴散金屬氧化物半導體(Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor,LDMOS)電晶體,收集少數載流子,防止閉鎖。
傳統的保護環結構通常佔用很大的空間,需要配置很大的矽面積。圖1表示一種包圍著主動元件的傳統的雙保護環結構。圖2表示沿線A-A’,圖1所示的傳統雙保護環結構的剖面圖。參見圖1和圖2,積體電路10形成在P-基材12上,P-型外延層14形成在P-基材12上。傳統的保護環結構16通常包括由深N-阱20構成的N-型保護環,被P-型保護環包圍在全部邊上,P-型保護環由P-阱24構成。N-阱18可以形成在深N-阱20中。保護環結構16包圍著要保護的主動元件22。例如,主動元件可以是形成在N-型掩埋層26的N-型LDMOS電晶體。保護環結構16的N-型保護環收集藉由LDMOS電晶體元件22注入到P-基材12中的少數載流子(電子)。當注入的電子重新複合時,保護環結構16的P-型保護環還在少數載流子(空穴)被N-阱20收集之前,收集產生的少數載流子。
如圖1所示,當要保護的主動元件形成在積體電路的邊上時,保護環可以呈U形,包圍主動元件22向內的對邊。N-型保護環(N-阱18/深N-阱20)可以是浮動的或連接到任意接地電勢,或者連接到正電壓源Vdd。N+擴散區30形成在N-阱/深N-阱中,以便與重疊接頭(圖中沒有表示出)形成歐姆接觸,以降低阱的電阻。P-型保護環(P-阱24)通常接地,利用P+擴散區,與重疊接頭(圖中沒有表示出)形成歐姆接觸,重疊接頭也稱為P-接頭。在一些情況下,靠近主動元件的P-型保護環的P-阱,可以是浮動的,而在N-型保護環另一邊上的P-型保護環的P-阱可以接地。因此,寄生NPN雙極電晶體由N-型保護環構成,作為集電極,P-基材12作為基極,主動元件22中的N-型掩埋層作為發射極。
傳統的保護環結構佔用大量空間,增大了晶片尺寸和積體電路的成本。尤其是P-阱24的P-型掩埋層(PBL)28和N-型保護環的N-型掩埋層(NBL)26之間所需的最小間距,增加了配置保護環結構所 需的矽面積。

在本發明的實施例中,用於CMOS積體電路的緊密保護環結構含有積體P-阱接頭的N-型保護環,以減小保護環結構所需的矽面積。在部分實施例中,緊密保護環結構包括被內、外P-型保護環包圍的N-型保護環。N-型保護環由交替的深N-阱和P-阱構成,深N-阱和P-阱形成在N-型掩埋層上並且同時短路。內、外P-型保護環形成在P-阱中。N-型保護環的交替深N-阱和P-阱可以接地或保持浮動。藉由在N-型保護環中積體P-阱接頭,可以省去用於P-型保護環的P-阱接頭或P-接頭,從而減小配置保護環結構所需的矽面積。用於配置引入緊密保護環結構的積體電路的晶片尺寸,也可以減小。
在本發明的實施例中,利用緊密保護環結構,包圍主動元件,主動元件可以至少部分在N-型掩埋層上方。緊密保護環結構可以形成在一閉環中,包圍著要保護的主動元件。還可選擇,當要保護的主動元件形成在積體電路邊上時,緊密保護環結構可以作為一開環,例如呈C形或U形,以包圍主動元件的向內對邊。
圖3表示在本發明的實施例中,積體電路中的緊密保護環結構的俯視圖。圖4表示圖3中沿線B-B’所示的緊密保護環結構的剖 面圖。參閱圖3和圖4,積體電路50形成在P-基材52上,P-型外延層54形成在P-基材52上。緊密保護環結構56形成在積體電路50上,以保護積體電路上的其他敏感元件注入主動元件62。主動元件至少部分形成在N-型掩埋層上方。在本實施例中,主動元件62形成在積體電路50的邊緣。因此,如圖3所示,緊密保護環結構56作為一開環,呈U形,保護主動元件62的向內對邊。在其他實施例中,緊密保護環結構可以形成在閉環中,以包圍在所有邊上的要保護的主動元件,這將在下文詳細介紹。
緊密保護環結構56包括一N-型保護環,N-型保護環被內部P-型保護環和外部P-型保護環包圍。外部P-型保護環形成在P-型掩埋層68上的P-阱64A中。內部P-型保護環形成在P-型掩埋層上的P-阱64B中。重摻雜P+擴散區72形成在P-阱64A和P-阱64B,以降低P-阱的電阻。
在本發明的實施例中,N-型保護環由交替的深N-阱60和P-阱64形成,深N-阱60和P-阱64都形成在N-型掩埋層66上。更確切地說,N-型保護環由交替的深N-阱60和P-阱64形成,使得每個深N-阱60都鄰近P-阱64。在部分實施例中,N-阱58形成在每個深N-阱60內。在本發明說明中,深N-阱60有時稱為高壓N-阱,是指N-阱形成在半導體本體的表面以下比標準N-阱58更深的地方,並且比標準N-阱58的重摻雜程度更高。深N-阱通常延伸到阱下方的N-掩埋層。深N-阱60用於高壓元件,以維持較高的擊穿電壓。重摻雜N+區70形成在每個N-阱58中,以提供到N-阱的歐姆接觸。重摻雜P+擴散區72形成在P-阱64中,以提供到P-阱64的歐姆接觸。
在本實施例中,P-阱形成在P-型外延層中,可以與N-阱 分隔開。在其他實施例中,P-阱可以作為全面P-阱,形成在沒有N-阱的任何地方。在那種情況下,P-阱64A和P-阱64B鄰近深N-阱60或N-型保護環的P-阱64。
在本發明的實施例中,構成N-型保護環的深N-阱60和P-阱64,相互短接,並且可以電連接到接地電勢,或者保持浮動。例如,接頭74可以形成在P-阱64的重摻雜N+區70和重摻雜P+擴散區72。可以使用導電層(圖中沒有表示出),例如金屬層,電連接N-型保護環中的接頭74。在部分實施例中,N-型保護環電阻短接至接地電勢。
這樣使得藉由接頭74,只能直連到N-型保護環。內部和外部P-型保護環(P-阱64A和P-阱64B)不包括任何接頭或P-接頭,並且不會接收任何直接電聯。更確切地說,P-阱64A和P-阱64B不會直連到任意電勢,而是保持浮動。然而,P-阱64A、P-阱64B藉由其鄰近N-型保護環中的P-阱區,偏置到與P-阱64A相同的電勢。例如,P-阱64A藉由P-型外延層54,電阻短接至P-阱64。更可選擇,P-阱64A在某些位置鄰近P-阱64,並且藉由物理接頭,短接至P-阱64。
本發明所述之緊密保護環結構56的顯著特點是,緊密保護環結構56結合了在N-型保護環中的P-阱接頭,消除了在P-型保護環中提供單獨的P-接頭的必要性。藉由省去到P-型保護環的P-阱接頭或P-接頭(P-阱64A和P-阱64B),減小了用於配置緊密保護環結構56的矽面積,實現了緊密保護環結構。
緊密保護環結構56的另一個特點是,N-型保護環的深N-阱電連接到與P-阱64和P-阱64A相同的電勢。也就是說,整個緊密保護環結構56接地或保持浮動。N-型保護環的深N-阱60從不連接到正電壓源電壓Vdd,使保護環結構中的N-型區和P-型區之間的間距最小。因 此,P-基材52中的少數載流子(電子)可以由N-型保護環的深N-阱60收集,作為寄生NPN雙極電晶體的集電極。當深N-阱60接地或保持浮動時,電子將轉移至地電壓。更確切地說,由深N-阱60收集的電子,藉由電阻接地的鄰近P阱區,轉換成空穴,然後在接地處收集空穴。
在本發明的實施例中,所形成的深N-阱60和P-阱64可以相互分隔開,或者相互佈滿或鄰近。此外,在圖3所示的實施例中,每個深N-阱60和每個P-阱64都含有一接頭,形成到N和P型區的電連接。在其他實施例中,當深N-阱60和P-阱64相互佈滿或鄰近時,可以使用對接接頭,電連接交替的深N-阱和P-阱,如圖5所示。圖5表示在本發明的可選實施例中,積體電路中的緊密保護環結構的俯視圖。參閱圖5,形成在積體電路110上的緊密保護環結構116,包括由N-型掩埋層上的交替深N-阱120和P-阱124構成的N-型保護環。利用對接接頭134,將深N-阱120和P-阱124電短接在一起。更確切地說,在一對鄰近的深N-阱120和P-阱124中,形成在深N-阱120中的N+區130和形成在P-阱124中的P+區132相互鄰近並對接,製備單獨的對接接頭134,連接N+區和P+區。N-型保護環被P-型保護環包圍,P-型保護環由P-型掩埋層上的P-阱124A製成,P+區132形成在P-阱124A中。外部P-阱124A或內部P-阱124B無需阱接頭或P-接頭。P+區132形成在外部P-阱124和內部P-阱124B中,以降低由表面閾值電壓增大導致的表面洩露。
圖6表示在本發明的實施例中,積體電路中的緊密保護環結構的俯視圖。圖6表示本發明所述的緊密保護環結構156形成在一閉環結構中,以包圍整個主動元件162。本發明所述的緊密保護環結構156可以作為內部P-型保護環(P-阱164B)的同心環,包圍主動元件162、N-型保護環以及外部P-型保護環(P-阱164A)。N-型保護環由形成在 N-型掩埋層上的交替深N-阱160和P-阱164構成。深N-阱160和P-阱164電連接在一起,可以浮動或接地。N+區形成在包括N-阱的深N-阱160中。內部和外部P-型保護環形成在P-型外延層上的P-阱164A和P-阱164B中。P+區形成在P-阱164、164A、164B中。單獨的接頭(圖中沒有表示出)或對接接頭(圖中沒有表示出)還可以用於連接N-型保護環中的深N-阱和P-阱164。
因此,N-型保護環結合P-阱接頭,使得內部和外部P-型保護環(P-阱164A和P-阱164B)無需包括P-阱接頭。在這種情況下,可以利用很小的矽面積,實現緊密保護環結構156。必須注意的是,圖3所示的緊密保護環結構56和圖5所示的緊密保護環結構116,僅僅是圖6所示的緊密保護環結構156的一部分。當主動元件162形成在積體電路邊緣時,保護環結構成為緊密保護環結構156的一部分。在本實施例中,保護環假設呈圓形或多邊形(例如正方形)。使用「環」一詞不是只將保護環限定為圓形。
另外,在本發明的實施例中,可以使用多行接頭,製備N-型保護環。例如,在圖3和圖5中,表示的是單獨的一行接頭。在其他實施例中,圖3、圖5和圖6所示的保護環結構可以含有兩行或多行接頭或對接接頭,以增強深N-阱和P-阱之間的電接觸。
雖然為了表述清楚,以上內容對實施例進行了詳細介紹,但是本發明並不侷限於上述細節。實施本發明還有許多可選方案。文中的實施例僅用於解釋說明,不用於侷限。
