Problems solved by technology

If you want to increase the rated operating current of the chip, but you cannot increase the rated current density per unit area to make the operating junction temperature exceed the rated value, the existing method is to increase the size of the chip to achieve it, increasing the size of the chip, That is to say, the junction area of ​​the PN junction is increased. This existing practice brings about a substantial increase in chip cost.

Abstract

The invention relates to a chip structure for effectively increasing the PN junction area and a manufacturing method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of semiconductors. The chip structure comprises a chip body, wherein the chip body comprises a substrate layer and a heavily doped layer which is reverse to the substrate layer in current conduction type and is formed by doping on one side or two sides of the substrate layer; a PN junction is formed on an intersection between the heavily-doped layer and the substrate layer; a naked part of the PN junction is covered with a passive layer; the upper surface and the lower surface of the chip body are covered with metal layers; the PN junction is formed by connecting a plurality of U-shaped curved surface junctions end to end; the middle parts of the U-shaped curved surface PN junctions are planar junctions. According to the chip structure, a plurality of U-shaped PN curved surface junctions are designed instead of an original planar PN junction, so that the area of the PN junction is increased effectively on the premise of not increasing the size of an original chip body, thereby fulfilling the aim of increasing the rated current of the chip on the basis of not increasing the manufacturing cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chip structure and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a chip structure capable of effectively increasing the area of ​​a PN junction and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of semiconductors. Background technique [0002] Regardless of whether the semiconductor chip is working in the forward or reverse state, the current flowing through the PN junction will cause the chip to be heated and cause a temperature rise, and the temperature is the main factor affecting the thermal breakdown failure of the semiconductor chip. In order to prevent thermal breakdown failure of the chip, the operating junction temperature of the chip is generally limited to less than 120°C. [0003] The forward and reverse rated operating current of the chip is determined according to its rated operating junction temperature. Once the size of the chip is determined, it means that the junction area of ​​the PN ju...
