Problems solved by technology

In order to reduce the forward voltage drop, three methods have been widely used. One is to increase the chip size of the Schottky barrier diode, that is, to increase the area to reduce the forward voltage drop under a given current condition, but this method The cost is greatly increased; the second method is to use metal with low barrier height, but this will increase the leakage current of the device, reduce the reverse voltage and high temperature characteristics, and increase the complexity of production management at the same time; the third is to use silicon The surface of the epitaxial wafer is trenched to increase the contact area. This method is complex in process and requires high equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a schottky barrier diode and a preparation method thereof. The schottky barrier diode has a structure that an N-type semiconductor is used as a substrate, an N-epitaxial layer is formed on the substrate and a positive electrode is a (blocking layer) metallic material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: cleaning for 10 to 30 minutes with a cleaning reagent of 75 degrees between a silicon epitaxial wafer and a metal to grow a layer of thin oxide layer, wherein the thickness of the oxide layer is between 20 and 100 angstroms; and sputtering or evaporating the metal to ensure that an alloy forms a silicide which servers as a barrier layer so as to form the schottky barrier diode. The preparation method is simple and reduces the barrier height through the participation of the thin oxide layer under the condition with a low cost, the efficient preparation obtains a low forward voltage drop schottky barrier diode, and compared with the conventional diode structure, the schottky barrier diode has a more extensive application range.
