DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0045] For the purposes of this disclosure the singular form "a", "an", and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The term "includes" means "comprises" or is "consist of". The term "coupled" means directly or indirectly connected, linked, or associated.
[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety for the teachings relevant to the sentence and / or paragraph in which the reference is presented.
[0047] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on" or "connected to" another element or layer, it can be directly on or connected to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers can be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" or "directly connected to" another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms since the terms are relative. The above-described arrangement is merely one implementation and other arrangements can be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, the above-described arrangement is merely one implementation and other arrangements can be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
[0048] Spatially relative terms, such as "beneath", "below", "lower", "under", "above", "upper" and the like, can be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if a device in the figures is inverted, then a dependent element or feature described as "below" or "beneath" another element or feature is still oriented "above" the other element or feature or element(s). Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device can be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
[0049] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising", when used in this specification, specify the presence of 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 thereof.

As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments of the application should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an implanted region illustrated as a rectangle will, typically, have rounded or curved features and / or a gradient of implant concentration at its edges rather than a binary change between implanted and non-implanted regions. Similarly, an implanted region formed by implantation can result in some implant in a region between the implanted region and a surface over which implantation occurs. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic and are not intended to illustrate actual dimensions but are intended to be exemplary of the regions used in the devices described herein.
[0051] As used herein, semiconductor field terms are used by those skilled in the art, for example, for P-type and N-type impurities, to distinguish doping concentrations, simply P+ type represents a heavily doped P-type, P-type represents a medium doped P-type, P- type represents a lightly doped P-type, N+ type represents a heavily doped N-type, N-type represents a medium doped N-type, N- type represents a lightly doped N-type.
[0052] Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0053] Referring to Figure 1 The semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a substrate 110, a buried layer 120, a first well region 130, a second well region 140, an emitter lead-out region 150, a base lead-out region 160, a collector lead-out region 170 and a gate structure 180.
[0054] The substrate 110 has a first conductivity type, and the buried layer 120 is arranged in the substrate 110 and has a second conductivity type, the first conductivity type being opposite to the second conductivity type.
[0055] For example, the first conductivity type is P type, and the second conductivity type is N type; or, the first conductivity type is N type, and the second conductivity type is P type. In the embodiment, for example, the first conductivity type is P type, and the second conductivity type is N type, i.e., the substrate 110 has P type conductivity, and the buried layer 120 has N type conductivity.
[0056] The first well region 130 is arranged in an upper surface layer of the buried layer 120 and has the first conductivity type, and the second well region 140 is arranged in the upper surface layer of the buried layer 120 and has a part of the region in contact with the substrate 110, the second well region 140 being located at the periphery of the first well region 130 and having the second conductivity type.
[0057] The plurality of emitter lead-out regions 150 and base lead-out regions 160 are arranged in the upper surface layer of the first well region 130 and are spaced apart from each other, the base lead-out regions 160 having the first conductivity type, and the emitter lead-out regions 150 having the second conductivity type. The gate structure 180 is arranged on the upper surface of the substrate 110 and comprises a gate 181, a normal projection of the gate 181 on the first well region 130 being staggered with the emitter lead-out regions 150, and the collector lead-out region 170 is formed in the upper surface layer of the second well region 140 and has the second conductivity type.
[0058] Therefore, the emitter lead-out regions 150, the base lead-out regions 160 and the first well region 130 form a whole, and the collector lead-out region 170 and the second well region 140 form another whole, and the whole formed by the emitter lead-out regions 150, the base lead-out regions 160 and the first well region 130 and the whole formed by the collector lead-out region 170 and the second well region 140 together constitute a triode.
[0059] The plurality of emitter extraction regions 150 are connected in parallel to extract the emitter, and the gate 181 and the collector extraction region 170 are connected in parallel to extract the collector. The collector can be input with a positive voltage, and when the input voltage of the collector is 0V-0.4V, the voltage difference between the gate 181 and the first well region 130 is small, and no inversion layer is formed at the area of the first well region 130 under the gate 181. Since the plurality of emitter extraction regions 150 are connected in parallel, the electrical conduction capability of the emitter during use is improved, the overall area of all the emitter regions is ensured, and the current gain of the semiconductor device is also improved, avoiding the influence of the current gain of the semiconductor device due to the too high doping concentration of the emitter extraction region 150. When the input voltage of the collector is 0.4V-0.7V, a voltage difference is formed between the gate 181 and the first well region 130, an electric field that repels holes and attracts electrons is formed, the holes at the area of the first well region 130 under the gate 181 are repelled, and the minority carriers (electrons) in the P-type first well region 130 are attracted to the area of the first well region 130 under the gate 181, and these electrons form an inversion layer at the area of the first well region 130 under the gate 181. Since the normal projection of the gate 181 on the first well region 130 is staggered with the emitter extraction region 150, it can be understood that the formed inversion layer is located between the two adjacent emitter extraction regions 150, and the two adjacent emitter extraction regions 150 are electrically connected, which is equivalent to that a low-doped inversion layer with the same conductivity type as the emitter extraction region 150 is formed between the two adjacent emitter extraction regions 150. In this way, the effective doping concentration of the emitter extraction region 150 can be effectively increased, and the effective area of the emitter extraction region 150 is also increased, which is also beneficial to improve the gain current of the semiconductor device. In this way, the gain current of the semiconductor device and the effective doping concentration of the emitter extraction region 150 can be controlled by changing the input voltage of the collector.
[0060] When the input voltage of the collector is greater than 0.7V, a strong inversion layer can be formed at the area of the first well region 130 under the gate 181, which is more beneficial to improve the gain current of the semiconductor device.
[0061] In some embodiments, the doping concentration of the emitter extraction region 150 is 4×10 19 cm -3 ~8×10 19 cm -3Compared with the traditional heavily doped region, the emitter lead-out region 150 has a lower doping concentration, and since the multiple emitter lead-out regions 150 are connected in parallel to lead out the emitter, the current conducting capability of the emitter during use is improved, the overall area of all the emitter regions is ensured, the current gain of the semiconductor device is improved, and the current gain of the semiconductor device is not affected by the excessively high doping concentration of the emitter lead-out region 150.
[0062] In some embodiments, the collector is configured to be able to adjustably input a positive voltage. The input voltage of the collector can be adjusted to the required voltage value as needed, so as to control the gain current of the semiconductor device and the effective doping concentration of the emitter lead-out region 150.
[0063] In some embodiments, the upper surface layer of the second well region 140 is provided with multiple collector lead-out regions 170, and the multiple collector lead-out regions 170 are connected in parallel with the gate 181 to lead out the collector. The multiple collector lead-out regions 170 are connected in parallel to serve as the collector, which is beneficial to improve the current conducting capability of the collector during use, thereby improving the voltage resistance capability and reliability of the semiconductor device.
[0064] In some embodiments, the gate structure 180 includes multiple gates 181, and each gate 181 is located above the region between two adjacent emitter lead-out regions 150. In this way, when the input voltage of the collector is greater than 0.4V, a low-doped region with the same conductivity type as the emitter lead-out region 150 is formed between each adjacent two emitter lead-out regions 150, which can electrically connect each adjacent two emitter lead-out regions 150 through the corresponding low-doped region, and is beneficial to improve the effective doping concentration of the emitter lead-out region 150, thereby increasing the effective area of the emitter lead-out region 150 and improving the gain current of the semiconductor device.
[0065] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 The gate structure 180 further includes a gate dielectric layer 182 provided on the upper surface of the substrate 110, the multiple gates 181 are provided on the gate dielectric layer 182, and the thickness of the gate dielectric layer 182 is a preset value. The thickness of the gate dielectric layer 182 can be set according to the required voltage resistance value of the transistor, for example, the thickness of the gate dielectric layer 182 can be 40-50 angstroms when the required voltage resistance value of the transistor is 3V.
[0066] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The multiple emitter lead-out regions 150 are arranged to form multiple groups of emitter lead-out regions arranged at intervals along a first direction F1, each group of emitter lead-out regions includes multiple emitter lead-out regions 150 arranged at intervals along a second direction F2, the gate 181 is staggered with the multiple groups of emitter lead-out regions along the first direction F1, and the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 intersect with each other.
[0067] It can be understood that the plurality of emitter extraction regions 150 are arranged in an array, and the first direction F1 can be perpendicular to the second direction F2.
[0068] The plurality of gates 181 are connected in parallel, so that the gate resistance is more uniform, which is beneficial to improve the current sharing characteristics of the gate 181, and can reduce the gate resistance to realize the fast switching of the "series connection" between the two adjacent emitter extraction regions 150 below the gate 181. Since the gate 181 is staggered with the plurality of groups of emitter extraction region groups along the first direction F1, when the input voltage of the collector is greater than 0.4V, the adjacent two emitter extraction regions 150 in the same gate 181 corresponding to the adjacent two groups of the plurality of groups of emitter extraction region groups form a low-doped layer with the same conductivity type as the emitter extraction region 150, which can electrically connect each adjacent two emitter extraction regions 150 through the corresponding inversion layer, and is more beneficial to increase the effective doping concentration of the emitter extraction region 150, thereby increasing the effective area of the emitter extraction region 150, and is also beneficial to increase the gain current of the semiconductor device.
[0069] In some embodiments, the base extraction region 160 is located at the periphery of the emitter extraction region 150, which is beneficial to improve the voltage resistance of the semiconductor device.
[0070] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device further includes a plurality of field oxide structures formed in the upper layer of the substrate 110, the plurality of field oxide structures including a first field oxide structure 191 for electrically isolating the emitter extraction region 150 and the base extraction region 160 from each other, and a second field oxide structure 192 for electrically isolating the base extraction region 160 and the collector extraction region 170 from each other.
[0071] The first field oxide structure 191 also extends to the upper layer of the first well region 130, and the first field oxide structure 191 can be a ring structure to better electrically isolate the emitter extraction region 150 and the base extraction region 160.
[0072] A part of the second field oxide structure 192 extends to the upper layer of the first well region 130, and another part of the second field oxide structure 192 extends to the upper layer of the second well region 140, and the second field oxide structure 192 can be a ring structure to better electrically isolate the base extraction region 160 and the collector extraction region 170.
[0073] Of course, the application is not limited to this, and the collector lead-out region 170 can be provided with multiple, the upper surface layer of the first well region 130 is provided with multiple base lead-out regions 160 corresponding to the collector lead-out region 170 one by one, and the upper surface layer of the first well region 130 is provided with multiple second field oxide structures 192 extending to the upper surface layer of the second well region 140 and corresponding to the collector lead-out region 170 one by one. Each second field oxide structure 192 is arranged between the corresponding base lead-out region 160 and the corresponding collector lead-out region 170 to electrically isolate the corresponding base lead-out region 160 and the corresponding collector lead-out region 170.
[0074] The multiple field oxide structures further include a third field oxide structure 193 arranged on the upper surface layer of the second well region 140 and located at the periphery of the collector lead-out region 170. The third field oxide structure 193 is located at the periphery of the collector lead-out region 170 to isolate the semiconductor device from other devices, further improving the isolation performance of the semiconductor device.
[0075] The third field oxide structure 193 can be a ring structure to better electrically isolate the semiconductor device from other devices.
[0076] In other embodiments, the first field oxide structure 191, the second field oxide structure 192, and the third field oxide structure 193 can be shallow trench field oxide structures.
[0077] In some embodiments, the first conductivity type is P-type, and the second conductivity type is N-type. When the collector input voltage, the emitter lead-out region 150, the base lead-out region 160, and the first well region 130 form an NPN transistor together with the collector lead-out region 170.
