Abstract

A silicon carbide linear temperature sensor, a temperature measuring method and a manufacturing method thereof belong to the technical field of semiconductor devices. The present invention includes silicon carbide N ‑ The P well on the top layer of the epitaxial layer, the N well with a shallower junction depth in the center of the top layer of the P well, the N-type silicon carbide ohmic contact area in the center of the N well, the ohmic contact electrode located on the upper surface of the N-type silicon carbide ohmic contact area, and the N well N-type Schottky contact electrodes at both ends and a passivation layer on the surface of the device. The present invention adopts a horizontal design to obtain a silicon carbide temperature sensor based on a double Schottky diode structure. On the one hand, it can eliminate the influence of the reverse saturation current on the linearity of the sensor and improve its linearity. On the other hand, it introduces a diffusion resistance R s The linear dependence with temperature improves the sensitivity of the device; at the same time, the device structure proposed by the present invention is a horizontal structure, which is easier to integrate than the existing vertical structure, and the crosstalk between the main sensor devices can be reduced by the isolation of the P well , increasing the feasibility of its integration with N-type epitaxial power devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a silicon carbide linear temperature sensor, a temperature measuring method and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Wide bandgap semiconductor material—silicon carbide (SiC) is an ideal material for preparing high-voltage power electronic devices. Compared with Si materials, SiC materials have a higher breakdown electric field strength (4×10 6 V / cm), high carrier saturation drift velocity (2×10 7 cm / s), high thermal conductivity, and good thermal stability, so it is especially suitable for high-power, high-pressure, high-temperature and radiation-resistant electronic devices. [0003] SiC VDMOS devices are more commonly used in SiC power devices. Compared with bipolar devices, SiC VDMOS devices have better frequency characteristics and lower switching losses because they have no charge storage effect. At the same time, the wide bandgap of...
