[0053] To facilitate understanding of the present application, a more comprehensive description of the present application will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present application. However, the present application may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the present disclosure.

[0054] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0055] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" another element or layer, it can be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to the other element or layer, or there can be intervening elements or layers. Conversely, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, doping types, and / or portions, these elements, components, regions, layers, doping types, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, doping type, or portion from another element, component, region, layer, doping type, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the present invention, the first element, component, region, layer, doping type or portion discussed below may be represented as a second element, component, region, layer or portion; for example, the first doping type may be referred to as the second doping type, and similarly, the second doping type may be referred to as the first doping type; the first doping type and the second doping type are different doping types, for example, the first doping type may be P-type and the second doping type may be N-type, or the first doping type may be N-type and the second doping type may be P-type.

[0056] Spatially relative terms such as "under," "beneath," "beneath," "under," "above," "above," etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship of an element or feature shown in the figures to other elements or features. It should be understood that in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatially relative terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is turned over, the element or feature described as "under" or "beneath" or "beneath" the other elements will be oriented as "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary terms "under" and "under" can include both upper and lower orientations. In addition, the device can also include alternative orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0057] As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" may also include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they may specify the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups. At the same time, when used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0058] Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views which are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the invention, such that variations in the shapes shown due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are anticipated. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention should not be limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include deviations in shapes due to, for example, manufacturing techniques. For example, an implanted region shown as a rectangle typically has rounded or curved features and / or an implant concentration gradient at its edges rather than a binary change from an implanted region to a non-implanted region. Similarly, a buried region formed by implantation may result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface through which the implantation occurs. Accordingly, the regions shown in the figures are schematic in nature, their shapes do not represent the actual shape of the region of the device, and do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , combined with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides a junction field effect transistor 10 , comprising a substrate 110 of a first conductivity type, at least two well region structures 120 , a drain 130 , a source 140 and a gate 150 .

[0060] At least two well region structure layers 120 are stacked on the substrate 110, and each well region structure 120 includes a first well region 121 of the second conductivity type and two second well regions 122 located on opposite sides of the first well region 121, wherein the conductivity type of the second well region 122 is opposite to the second conductivity type and the same as the first conductivity type.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first conductivity type is P-type and the second conductivity type is N-type.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the first conductivity type is N-type and the second conductivity type is P-type.

[0063] Specifically, Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the first conductivity type is P-type and the second conductivity type is N-type, that is, the conductivity type of the second well region 122 is P-type and the conductivity type of the first well region 121 is N-type.

[0064] The drain 130 and the source 140 are respectively formed on opposite sides of the first well region 121 of the uppermost well region structure 120 , and the gate 150 is formed in the two second well regions 122 of the uppermost well region structure 120 .

[0065] In the adjacent two-layer well region structure 120 , two adjacent first well regions 121 are in contact with each other, and two second well regions 122 on the same side are connected to each other.

[0066] In the above-mentioned junction field effect transistor 10 , the drain 130 and the source 140 serve as the current input and output terminals of the junction field effect transistor 10 , respectively. The junction field effect transistor 10 can be switched between on and off states by adjusting the voltage of the gate 150 .

[0067] When no negative bias is applied to the gate 150, the current input from the drain 130 (positive electrode) can generate a saturated current between the drain 130 (positive electrode) and the source 140 (negative electrode) due to the conductive effect of the first well region 121 (N-type), causing the junction field effect transistor 10 to turn on. When a negative bias is applied to the gate 150 relative to the source 140, the PN junction depletion layer formed by the first well region 121 (N-type) and the second well region 122 (P-type) in each well region structure 120 is widened, thereby compressing the N-type conductive channel and turning off the junction field effect transistor 10. It can be understood that, under the condition of the same size, the provision of at least two well region structures 120 in the above-mentioned junction field effect transistor 10 is equivalent to increasing the length of the conductive channel of the junction field effect transistor 10, thereby increasing the effective conductive area of ​​the junction field effect transistor 10, which can effectively improve the conductivity of the junction field effect transistor 10. In other words, while achieving the same conductivity, the structural design of the junction field effect transistor 10 of the present application can save more design size.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 , and refer to Figure 4 The first well region 121 includes a channel region 1211 and two drift regions 1212 located on opposite sides of the channel region 1211. A trench 1213 is formed on the channel region 1211 between the drain 130 and the source 140. The at least two-layer well region structure 120 includes an A-well region structure 120a located at the top and at least one B-well region structure 120b located at the bottom side of the A-well region structure 120a. The drain 130 and the source 140 are respectively formed in the two drift regions 1212 of the first well region 121 in the A-well region structure 120a. When no negative bias is applied to the gate 150, current is input from the drain 130 (positive electrode), and holes or electrons can enter the other drift region 1212 through one drift region 1212 and the channel region 1211, so that the drain electrons can be transmitted to the other drift region 1212 and finally reach the source 140 under the action of the drain electric field. At this time, the junction field effect transistor 10 is in the on state.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the A-well structure 120a, a shallow trench isolation structure 170 is provided in the trench 1213 on the first well region 121 to isolate the drain 130 from the source 140. The shallow trench isolation structure 170 can be used to isolate the drain 130 from the source 140, thereby isolating the active area of ​​the drain 130 from the active area of ​​the source 140, thereby preventing short circuits between the drain 130 and the source 140 and improving the reliability of the junction field-effect transistor 10.

[0070] Alternatively, a shallow trench isolation (STI) process may be used to form the shallow trench isolation structure 170. Specifically, the method of forming the shallow trench isolation structure 170 may include: forming an isolation oxide layer, depositing a nitride, forming a mask layer and an isolation trench, etching the isolation trench, then filling the isolation trench with oxide, and finally removing the nitride and polishing the filled oxide to form the shallow trench isolation structure 170.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The longitudinal ends of the shallow trench isolation structure 170 extend in opposite directions and contact the two second well regions 122 in the A-well structure 120a, thereby isolating the two second well regions 122 from each other. In this way, the shallow trench isolation structure 170 prevents the positions of the two second well regions 122 in the A-well structure 120a from shifting, thereby improving the reliability of the junction field effect transistor 10.

[0072] In some embodiments, gate 150 includes a polysilicon layer 151, a gate electrode layer 152, and a gate connection layer 153. Polysilicon layer 151 is disposed on shallow trench isolation structure 170, gate electrode layer 152 is disposed on a side of polysilicon layer 151 away from shallow trench isolation structure 170, and gate connection layer 153 is formed in the two second well regions 122 of A-well structure 120a, respectively, and contacts gate electrode layer 152. Forming polysilicon layer 151 on shallow trench isolation structure 170 can, on the one hand, electrically insulate gate 150 from drain 130 and from source 140. On the other hand, it can ensure that gate 150 is formed in the two second well regions 122 of A-well structure 120a, facilitating connection of the two second well regions 122 and leading gate 150 out.

[0073] In some embodiments, the junction field effect transistor 10 further includes an intermediate substrate layer 160 of a first conductivity type, the intermediate substrate layer 160 being formed in a trench 1213 on the first well region 121 in the B-well region structure 120b, and the opposite ends of the intermediate substrate layer 160 extending outside the trench 1213 to be inserted between the two second well regions 122 on the same side of the adjacent two-layer well region structure 120. It can be understood that the intermediate substrate layer 160 is in contact with the two second well regions 122 on the same side of the two adjacent well region structures 120, respectively. In this way, the two second well regions 122 on the same side of the two adjacent well region structures 120 are connected through the intermediate substrate layer 160 to ensure that when the junction field effect transistor 10 is in use, the electrons in the second well region 122 in the top well region structure 120 can flow to the second well regions 122 in other well region structures 120 in sequence, thereby ensuring that when a negative bias is applied to the gate 150 relative to the source 140, the PN junction depletion layer formed by the first well region 121 (N-type) and the second well region 122 (P-type) in each well region structure 120 is widened, which is beneficial to improving the conductivity of the junction field effect transistor 10.

[0074] In some embodiments, intermediate substrate layer 160 is doped with first-type ions at a first dose, and first well region 121 of B-well structure 120b is doped with second-type ions at a second dose, where the first dose is greater than the second dose. The first-type ions and the second-type ions have opposite conductivity types; for example, the first-type ions may be P-type ions and the second-type ions may be N-type ions. Alternatively, the first-type ions may be N-type ions and the second-type ions may be P-type ions.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first type of ions are P-type ions and the second type of ions are N-type ions, that is, P-type ions are doped in the middle substrate layer 160 with a first dose, and N-type ions are doped in the first well region 121 in the B-well region structure 120b with a second dose, so that the first dose is greater than the second dose, which can avoid excessive injection dose of the first well region 121, thereby causing the diffusion length of the first well region 121 to be too long, and avoid the N-type ions in the first well region 121 from "eroding" the P-type ions in the middle substrate layer 160, which can improve the reliability of the junction field effect transistor 10 to a certain extent.

[0076] In this example, see Figure 3 The depth of the trench 1213 on the first well region 121 in the A-well region structure 120 a is smaller than the depth of the trench 1213 on the first well region 121 in the B-well region structure 120 b .

[0077] The A-well region structure 120a is located at the top layer. There is no need to set up an intermediate substrate layer 160 for the groove 1213 on the first well region 121 in the A-well region structure 120a. Based on the structural optimization design, the groove depth of the groove 1213 on the first well region 121 can be made smaller, which can reduce the occupied volume of the junction field effect transistor 10 to a certain extent.

[0078] In some embodiments, in two adjacent well structures 120, the second well region 122 of one well structure 120 is doped with the first type of ions at a third dose, and the second well region 122 of the other well structure 120 is doped with the first type of ions at a fourth dose. The third dose and the fourth dose are both set according to the first dose, so that the two second well regions 122 on the same side of the two adjacent well structures 120 are connected via the intermediate substrate layer 160. The second well regions 122 can be formed using an ion implantation process, and the third dose and the fourth dose are set according to the first dose. It is understood that the relative volume ratio of the two second well regions 122 on the same side of the two adjacent well structures 120 can be controlled so that the two second well regions 122 on the same side of the two adjacent well structures 120 are connected via the intermediate substrate layer 160, thereby avoiding the formation of a fault between the two adjacent well structures 120 that affects the conductivity of the junction field effect transistor 10.

[0079] Optionally, the number of injections corresponding to the two second well regions 122 on the same side of two adjacent well region structures 120 may also be set to better avoid a fault between the two adjacent well region structures 120 .

[0080] See also Figure 5 The present invention provides a method for preparing a junction field effect transistor, comprising the following steps:

[0081] S210: Provide a substrate 110 of a first conductivity type. The substrate 110 may be a silicon wafer substrate.

[0082] S220. At least two layers of well region structures 120 are stacked on the substrate 110, each well region structure 120 includes a first well region 121 of the second conductivity type, and two second well regions 122 located on opposite sides of the first well region 121; wherein the conductivity type of the second well region 122 is opposite to the second conductivity type and the same as the first conductivity type.

[0083] S230 , forming a drain 130 and a source 140 on opposite sides of the first well region 121 of the uppermost well region structure 120 .

[0084] S240 , forming a gate 150 on the two second well regions 122 of the uppermost well region structure 120 .

[0085] In the adjacent two-layer well region structure 120 , two adjacent first well regions 121 are in contact with each other, and two second well regions 122 on the same side are connected to each other.

[0086] In the above example, when a negative bias is applied to the gate 150 relative to the source 140, the PN junction depletion layer formed by the first well region 121 (N-type) and the second well region 122 (P-type) in each layer of the well region structure 120 is widened, thereby compressing the N-type conductive channel, thereby turning off the junction field effect transistor 10. It can be understood that in the above-mentioned junction field effect transistor 10, the provision of at least two layers of well region structures 120 is equivalent to increasing the length of the conductive channel of the junction field effect transistor 10, thereby increasing the effective conductive area of ​​the junction field effect transistor 10, and effectively improving the conductivity of the junction field effect transistor 10. In other words, while achieving the same conductivity, the structural design of the junction field effect transistor 10 of the present application can save design size.

[0087] It should be noted that there is no restriction on the order of the above S210, S220, S230, and S240, that is, any one of them can be executed before or at the same time.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 Before step S220 of forming at least two stacked well region structures 120 on the substrate 110, the preparation method further includes:

[0089] forming a buried layer 181 of a first conductivity type on the substrate 110;

[0090] An epitaxial layer 182 of the first conductivity type is epitaxially formed on the buried layer 181 .

[0091] The thickness of epitaxial layer 182 is 2 to 10 microns. If the thickness of epitaxial layer 182 exceeds 1 micron, it will be difficult for ions to penetrate epitaxial layer 182 when forming at least two stacked well region structures 120 on epitaxial layer 182 through ion implantation. If the thickness of epitaxial layer 182 is less than 1 micron, it will be difficult to be compatible with other EPI-BCD processes. Therefore, setting the thickness of epitaxial layer 182 to 2 to 10 microns can not only improve the reliability of junction field effect transistor 10, but also ensure that the preparation method of junction field effect transistor 10 of the present application is compatible with other EPI-BCD processes.

[0092] In some embodiments, a method for preparing the junction field effect transistor 10 includes the following steps:

[0093] S301: Provide a substrate 110 of a first conductivity type. The substrate 110 may be a silicon wafer substrate.
