AI Technical Summary
In existing semiconductor structures, NPN transistors and JFETs are usually manufactured separately, resulting in a large structural area, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of high integration.
By designing a special layout of the first well region, the first body region, the second body region, and the second well region in the semiconductor structure, the NPN and JFET regions overlap and share some structures, forming an ohmic contact region as the drain of the JFET and the collector of the NPN, thus achieving region overlap.
This effectively reduces the overall area of the semiconductor structure and improves integration.
