Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, Zener diodes are widely used in electronic components as clamping voltage devices. Its basic structure is formed by a pair of P-type heavily doped regions and N-type heavily doped regions. When the transient voltage is too high to reach the Zener diode in When the breakdown voltage is reached, the voltage loaded on the Zener diode remains unchanged, and the energy is released through the Zener diode to protect the gate voltage stability. The existing process is achieved by ion implantation and high temperature annealing (>850C). This will limit the Zener diode process to be completed before the metal layer is formed during integration.

Abstract

The invention discloses a process for manufacturing a Zener diode at low temperature. The process comprises the following steps of: growing or depositing a silicon oxide layer on an N type heavily-doped N+ silicon chip; forming a notch on the silicon oxide layer by using a semiconductor photoetching and etching process, etching a silicon groove with the same thickness as an N+ area, and washing a photoresist on the silicon groove; coating an aluminum film on the silicon oxide layer, and growing a non-crystalline silicon film on the aluminum film, wherein a composite layer of the aluminum film and the non-crystalline silicon film is formed in the silicon groove; annealing at the low temperature, diffusing silicon (Si) atoms of the non-crystalline silicon film in the silicon groove to the aluminum film, and forming an aluminum-doped P+ single crystal on the surface of the silicon chip in the silicon groove; and washing and removing the residual aluminum film and the residual non-crystalline silicon film on the silicon oxide layer. By integration at the low temperature of below 400 DEG C, the manufacturing process of the Zener diode is more flexible.
