Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular, relates to a high-voltage protection device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As the size of semiconductor processes shrinks, the gap between device operating voltage and breakdown voltage becomes smaller and smaller, and the electrostatic discharge (ESD) problem of integrated circuits becomes more and more prominent. Usually, the operating voltage of the chip port is between 0V and the power supply voltage, so the ESD structure of the common device port only needs to ensure that the ESD device has no leakage current when the port voltage is between 0V and the power supply voltage.
[0003] When an ESD event occurs, the existing high-trigger positive voltage-resistant SCR device triggers the SCR structure, which requires the voltage between the port PAD and the ground to exceed the reverse breakdown voltage of the PN junction. This structure is only applicable when the normal working voltage of the PAD is higher than the ground voltage.
[0004] However, in actual applications, some chips may have a port voltage far higher than the power supply voltage or a negative voltage lower than the ground potential. In this case, the parasitic PN junction of the SCR device will be turned on, resulting in a large leakage current at the port, making the port signal incomplete and affecting the actual use of the entire chip. In addition, the conduction of the thyristor (Silicon Controlled Rectifier, SCR) device is triggered by reverse breakdown of the PN junction of the N-well and P-well, so it cannot be used in ultra-high withstand voltage applications, and some applications have special requirements such as low leakage current.

[0057] The present invention aims to solve the technical problem that the SCR device in the prior art cannot be applied to ultra-high withstand voltage occasions. The present invention provides a manufacturing method and device of a protection device, equipment and a computer-readable storage medium.
[0058] In one embodiment, Figure 1 as well as Figure 2A schematic structural diagram of a high-voltage protection device provided in the present application is shown, wherein the high-voltage protection device comprises a substrate 101, a buried layer 102 and an epitaxial layer, wherein the substrate 101, the buried layer 102 and the epitaxial layer are stacked in sequence; based on the epitaxial layer, a first well 201, 213 and a high-voltage well HVNW are sequentially arranged from any point on the edge of the epitaxial layer to the center point; and a first active area is arranged on the first well 201, 213; the high-voltage well HVNW has three closed annular vacant areas, and a second well 204, a third well 207 and a fourth well 210 are respectively arranged in the three annular vacant areas; and a second active area, a third active area and a fourth active area are arranged on the second well 204, the third well 207 and the fourth well 210; a fifth well is arranged on the high-voltage well HVNW, and a fifth active area is arranged on the fifth well.
[0059] Among them, the doping type of the substrate 101, the epitaxial layer, the first well 201, 213, the second well 204, the third well 207, the fourth well 210, the first active region and the third active region is the first type; the doping type of the buried layer 102, the fifth well NW, the second active region, the fourth active region and the fifth active region is the second type; the first type is different from the second type.
[0060] In the above embodiment, by pre-setting the first wells 201, 213 and the high-voltage well HVNW of a special shape, setting the second well 204, the third well 207 and the fourth well 210 in the annular vacant area reserved in the high-voltage well HVNW, setting the fifth well NW on the high-voltage well HVNW, and performing doping from the first wells 201, 213 to the fifth well NW to form multiple active areas, a special PN junction consisting of the high-voltage well HVNW and other wells can be formed in the high-voltage protection device, and the special connection of multiple PN junctions is achieved through the above setting process, and the effect of equal forward breakdown voltage and reverse breakdown voltage is achieved through the above structure, so that the reverse breakdown voltage and forward breakdown voltage of the finally formed high-voltage protection device can be greatly improved, and the technical problem that the SCR device in the prior art cannot be applied to ultra-high voltage applications is solved.
[0061] It should be noted that in the above solution, since the second well 204, the third well 207 and the fourth well 210 are separated by the high voltage well HVNW, they are actually isolated. The isolation ring has the characteristic of low leakage, so it can also effectively prevent problems such as parasitic field tubes.
[0062] Optionally, the first wells 201 and 213 , the second well 204 , the third well 207 , the fourth well 210 , and the fifth well NW are all closed rings.
[0063] Among them, the closed loop can better isolate each active area and the well, thereby reducing leakage to the greatest extent and more effectively preventing problems such as parasitic field tubes.
[0064] Optionally, the doping concentration of the high voltage well HVNW is respectively smaller than the doping concentrations of the first wells 201 , 213 , the second well 204 , the third well 207 , the fourth well 210 , and the fifth well NW.
[0065] Among them, the doping concentration of the high-voltage well HVNW is set to be lower than the doping concentration of the first wells 201 and 213, the doping concentration of the second well 204, the doping concentration of the third well 207, the doping concentration of the fourth well 210 and the doping concentration of the fifth well NW, so as to ensure the low doping of the high-voltage well HVNW at this time, and it can also be set to be lower than the doping concentration of all active areas, so as to further improve the forward and reverse breakdown voltages of the formed PN junction.
[0066] In a possible implementation, the fifth active region is suspended; the first active region, the second active region 403, the third active region 404 and the fourth active region 405 of the second well 204, and the second active region 411, the third active region 412 and the fourth active region 413 of the fourth well 210 constitute the first end of the high-voltage protection device; the second active region 407, the third active region 408 and the fourth active region 409 of the third well 207 constitute the second end of the high-voltage protection device; any one of the first end of the high-voltage protection device and the second end of the high-voltage protection device is an anode, and the remaining end is a cathode.
[0067] Through the above implementation method, the formation of the PN junction can be guaranteed, and the effect of improving the breakdown voltage value in the forward and reverse directions can be fully realized. When the BCD 0.5um process is adopted, the reverse breakdown voltage can be 70V in the laboratory measurement, so the forward trigger voltage can be 70V and the reverse trigger voltage can be 70V. It can play a role in resisting positive and negative high-voltage ESD protection, and has the characteristics of low leakage current. The ESD protection capability is 15KV under the Human-Body Model (HBM).
[0068] In a possible implementation manner, the first type of doping is P doping; and the second type of doping is N doping.
[0069] In a possible implementation manner, the first type of doping is N-doping; and the second type of doping is P-doping.
[0070] In the above two solutions, the types of P doping and N doping can be flexibly replaced to achieve equivalent effects.
[0071] In a possible implementation, the high-voltage well HVNW includes a first high-voltage sub-well 203, 206, a second high-voltage sub-well 206, 209 and a third high-voltage sub-well 209, 212 that are interconnected, and each sub-well is arranged around the annular vacant area. The fifth well NW includes a first sub-well 202, 205, a second sub-well 205, 208 and a third sub-well 208, 211 that are interconnected, and each sub-well is arranged one-to-one on each high-voltage sub-well; the fifth active area includes a first sub-active area 402, 406, a second sub-active area 406, 410 and a third sub-active area 410, 414, and each sub-active area is arranged one-to-one on each sub-well.
[0072] Through the above process, each sub-well, high-voltage sub-well and sub-active area that may be individually connected is isolated as a separate area, thereby achieving better low leakage current and isolation effects.
[0073] Based on the above embodiments, the working principle of the protection device is further described with an embodiment: Figure 3 As shown, the third well 207 is an emitter, the second high-voltage sub-wells 206, 209 and the second sub-wells 205, 208 are bases, and the second well 204 and the fourth well 210 are collectors, so as to form a lateral PNP transistor 1;
[0074] The second high-voltage sub-wells 206 and 209 and the second sub-wells 205 and 208 are used as collectors, the second well 204 and the fourth well 210 are used as bases, and the fourth active region of the second well 204 and the second sub-active regions 406 and 410 are used as emitters to form a lateral NPN transistor 1;
[0075] The buried layer 102 is a collector, the second well 204 and the fourth well 210 are bases, and the fourth active region of the second well 204 and the second sub-active regions 406 and 410 are emitters, so as to form a vertical NPN transistor 2;
[0076] The lateral NPN transistor 1 , the longitudinal NPN transistor 2 and the lateral PNP transistor 1 form a forward thyristor structure.
[0077] In this structure, since the SCR structure is the same from GND to PAD and from PAD to GND, this structure can withstand positive and negative voltages. When an ESD event occurs, when the PAD voltage is higher than the GND voltage and reaches the breakdown voltage of the high-voltage N-well (HVNW) 206, 209 and the P-well (PW) 204, 210, the PN junction is broken down, and the current flows from the high-voltage N-well (HVNW) 206, 209 to the P-well (PW) 204, 210, the lateral PNP transistor 1, the lateral NPN transistor 1 and the longitudinal NPN transistor 2 are turned on, and the forward SCR is triggered.
[0078] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the second well 204 and the fourth well 210 are emitters, the second high-voltage sub-wells 206 and 209 and the second sub-wells 205 and 208 are bases, and the third well 207 is used as a collector to form a lateral PNP transistor 2;
[0079] The second high-voltage sub-wells 206 and 209 serve as collectors, the third well 207 serves as a base, and the second active region and the fourth active region of the third well 207 serve as emitters, so as to form a lateral NPN transistor 3;
[0080] The buried layer 102 is a collector, the third well 207 is a base, and the second active region and the fourth active region of the third well 207 are emitters, so as to form a vertical NPN transistor 4;
[0081] The lateral NPN transistor 3 , the longitudinal NPN transistor 4 and the lateral PNP transistor 2 form an inverting thyristor structure.
[0082] Among them, when the GND voltage is higher than the PAD voltage and reaches the breakdown voltage of the high-voltage N-well (HVNW) 206, 209 and the P-well (PW) 207, the PN junction is broken down, and the current flows from the high-voltage N-well (HVNW) 206, 209 to the P-well (PW) 207, the lateral PNP transistor 2, the lateral NPN transistor 3 and the longitudinal NPN transistor 4 are turned on, and the reverse SCR is triggered.
[0083] Since the high voltage N wells (HVNW) 206 and 209 are lightly doped wells, the PN junction breakdown voltage formed by the high voltage N wells (HVNW) 206 and 209 and the P wells (PW) 204, 207, and 210 is very high, and the high voltage resistance characteristic can be achieved.
[0084] Furthermore, the device can adopt the BCD 0.5um process, and its structure is triggered by the PN junction formed by the high-voltage N-well and the P-well. The reverse breakdown voltage of the PN junction is 70V, so it can achieve a forward trigger voltage of 70V and a reverse trigger voltage of 70V. It can play a role in withstanding positive and negative high-voltage ESD protection, and has the characteristics of low leakage current. The ESD protection capability is 15KV under the Human-Body Model (HBM).
