Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sensor technology, in particular to a magnetic field sensor, and more particularly to a manufacturing process of a silicon magnetic sensitive triode with a full dielectric isolation structure. Background Art
[0002] Silicon magnetic sensitive transistor is a bipolar semiconductor transistor that has a magnetic sensitive effect to an external magnetic field. Its magnetic sensitivity characteristics are the result of the dual effects of carrier injection effect and Lorentz force. Therefore, the degree of carrier deflection in the magnetic field has a great influence on the magnetic sensitivity, cross interference and other characteristics of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor.
[0003] Theoretical analysis shows that silicon magnetic-sensitive transistors with a three-dimensional structure have good magnetic sensitivity characteristics. The alloy method can realize the three-dimensional structure of germanium magnetic-sensitive transistors. However, the structure size of silicon magnetic-sensitive transistors is small, and only planar structures can be produced through microelectronic processes. With the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, breakthroughs have been made in key process technologies, and the three-dimensional structure of silicon magnetic-sensitive transistors has been realized. However, the three-dimensional silicon magnetic-sensitive transistors have parasitic effects and other phenomena, which seriously affect the magnetic sensitivity and temperature characteristics. Effectively limiting the deflection of carriers under the action of the magnetic field and reducing parasitic effects can improve their performance. In summary, the three-dimensional silicon magnetic-sensitive transistor needs to consider component isolation. The integration of MEMS technology and isolation process can limit the degree of carrier deflection in the three-dimensional silicon magnetic-sensitive transistor under the magnetic field.
[0004] Isolation in bipolar integrated circuits includes PN junction isolation, dielectric isolation, and PN junction-dielectric hybrid isolation. Among them, PN junction isolation is a relatively common isolation method. However, the PN junction isolation depth of a three-dimensional silicon magnetic sensitive transistor needs to reach 20 to 40 μm. The diffusion time to reach this depth is long, and both longitudinal and lateral diffusion will occur during the diffusion process, making the isolation area wider, seriously affecting the integration of the device.
[0005] Therefore, it is an urgent problem to manufacture miniaturized and integrated silicon magnetic-sensitive transistors so that they can effectively limit the degree of carrier deflection in the magnetic field, reduce the influence of parasitic effects on the silicon magnetic-sensitive transistors, and have good radiation resistance, magnetic sensitivity and temperature characteristics.

[0204] In this experimental example, TCAD-Athena software is used to construct process simulation models of silicon magnetic sensitive transistors without isolation structure, silicon magnetic sensitive transistors with PN junction isolation structure, and silicon magnetic sensitive transistors with full dielectric isolation structure described in Example 1 of the present invention. The I of silicon magnetic sensitive transistors under different magnetic fields and temperatures is simulated and studied. C -V CE Characteristics(I C is the collector current, V CE is the collector voltage), the comparison results are as follows Figures 5-1 to 5-3 、 Figures 6-1 to 6-3 and Figures 7-1 to 7-3 shown.
[0205] in, Figures 5-1 to 5-3 The silicon magnetic sensitive transistor without isolation structure, the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with PN junction isolation structure and the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with full dielectric isolation structure according to embodiment 1 of the present invention are shown respectively. C -V CE Characteristics, at room temperature (T = 300K) and without an external magnetic field, the setting conditions are as follows: collector voltage V CE The range is 0V~5V, the step size is 0.25V, and the base injection current I B The range is 0mA to 5mA, with a step size of 1mA.
[0206] Depend on Figures 5-1 to 5-3 It can be seen that the amplification factor β of the three structures of silicon magnetic sensitive transistors is less than 1. Under the same conditions, the collector current I C (2.3mA) for comparison, the collector current I C (2.4mA) is larger, and the collector current I C (2.2mA) has decreased, so the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor I made based on the full dielectric isolation structure C -V CE Good characteristics.
[0207] Figures 6-1 to 6-3 The I of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor without isolation structure, the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with PN junction isolation structure and the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with full dielectric isolation structure under different magnetic fields are shown respectively. C -V CE Characteristics, at room temperature (T = 300K) set conditions are as follows: collector voltage V CE The range is 0V~5V, the step size is 0.25V, and the base injection current I B The current is 5 mA, and a magnetic field of ±0.3T is applied to the magnetic sensitive directions of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistors of the three structures respectively.
[0208] Depend on Figures 6-1 to 6-3 It can be seen that the magnetic sensitivity S (0.88mA / T) of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with full dielectric isolation structure is the largest, the magnetic sensitivity S (0.75mA / T) of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with PN junction isolation structure is second, and the magnetic sensitivity S (0.74mA / T) of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor without isolation structure is the smallest. Therefore, the magnetic sensitivity of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor made based on full dielectric isolation structure is better.
[0209] Figures 7-1 to 7-3 The I of silicon magnetic sensitive transistors without isolation structure, PN junction isolation structure and full dielectric isolation structure are shown at different temperatures. C -V CECharacteristics, when there is no external magnetic field, the conditions are as follows: collector voltage V CE The range is 0V~5V, the step size is 0.25V, and the base injection current I B The current is 5mA, and the temperature variation range of the three structures of silicon magnetic sensitive transistors is -40℃~85℃, with a step size of 20℃.
[0210] As shown in Figure 7, the temperature coefficient a of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with a full dielectric isolation structure is the smallest (1629ppm / °C), followed by the temperature coefficient a of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with a PN junction isolation structure (1669ppm / °C), and the temperature coefficient a of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor without isolation structure is the largest (1676ppm / °C). Therefore, the temperature drift of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor made based on the full dielectric isolation structure is the smallest.
[0211] In summary, the manufacturing process described in the present invention, that is, the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor with a full dielectric isolation structure designed and manufactured on the device silicon by integrating MEMS technology and SOI technology, can effectively realize isolation between components, while limiting the degree of deflection of carriers under the action of the magnetic field, improving the magnetic sensitivity and temperature characteristics of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor, realizing the miniaturization and integration of the silicon magnetic sensitive transistor, and laying the foundation for the mass production of high-performance silicon magnetic sensitive transistors.
