Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, and in particular to a reference voltage generator and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the development of GaN devices and processes, more and more GaN integrated circuits have been introduced. Integrated circuits often require multiple reference voltages of varying values to ensure proper circuit function. However, the typical supply voltage for integrated circuits is 48V, which cannot meet the power requirements of some GaN circuits. Therefore, GaN reference voltage generators are needed to generate different reference voltages to ensure the proper operation of different GaN circuits.
[0003] Existing GaN-based reference voltage generators include enhancement-mode and depletion-mode GaN devices fabricated using etching techniques. Temperature compensation is achieved by ensuring that the absolute value of the threshold change of the enhancement-mode and depletion-mode GaN devices is the same at high temperatures. However, both enhancement-mode and depletion-mode GaN devices operate in the saturation region, and etching can cause channel damage during fabrication. The resulting GaN devices also have a high on-resistance, resulting in significant power loss and making it difficult to generate a stable reference voltage at high temperatures.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0053] In one embodiment, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a reference voltage generating circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case where a stable reference voltage output is ensured at high temperatures. Figure 1 As shown, the circuit includes a first enhancement mode MOS transistor M1 and a Schottky diode N1 connected in series between a first power supply voltage terminal VDD and a second power supply voltage terminal GND. The connection terminal of the first enhancement mode MOS transistor M1 and the Schottky diode N1 serves as an output terminal Vref of a reference voltage generating circuit. The first enhancement mode MOS transistor M1 is configured to operate in a subthreshold region. The inverse of the threshold voltage of the first enhancement mode MOS transistor is positively correlated with temperature, and the voltage of the Schottky diode is negatively correlated with temperature, so that the output terminal of the reference voltage generating circuit outputs a stable reference voltage Vref.
[0054] The first power supply voltage terminal VDD is used to provide an operating voltage to the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 and the Schottky diode N1. In this embodiment, the first power supply voltage terminal VDD can be the positive electrode of the power supply, and the second power supply voltage terminal GND can be the negative electrode of the power supply. The second power supply voltage terminal GND is ground voltage. Therefore, the first power supply voltage terminal VDD, the second power supply voltage terminal GND, the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1, and the Schottky diode N1 form a complete circuit. The first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 is a field-effect transistor that only conducts when the voltage between the gate and the first electrode exceeds the turn-on voltage. In this embodiment, the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 is an NMOS transistor and utilizes a p-type gallium nitride substrate. P-type gallium nitride substrates have the characteristic of high-voltage operation and can operate stably at 0 to 100V. Furthermore, due to the inherent high-temperature resistance of gallium nitride, p-type gallium nitride substrates can operate within a temperature range of 0 to 300°C. Schottky diode N1, short for Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD), is a hot-carrier diode. It utilizes the metal-semiconductor junction principle formed by the contact between metal and semiconductor to create a low-power, high-current, ultra-high-speed semiconductor device. Its forward conduction voltage drop is small, meaning that large current changes result in small voltage changes, thus providing a clamping effect. The subthreshold region is the operating area of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1. The bias voltage connected to the gate of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 can be adjusted to maintain stable operation in the subthreshold region.
[0055] Specifically, the connection terminal of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 and the Schottky diode N1 serves as the output terminal of the reference voltage generating circuit. To ensure that the output terminal of the reference voltage generating circuit can output a stable reference voltage Vref, in this embodiment, the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 and the Schottky diode N1 are connected in series between the first power supply voltage VDD and the second power supply voltage GND, and the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 is configured to operate in a subthreshold region. At this time, the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 is turned on and generates a constant current of a certain magnitude. After flowing out of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1, the current flows into the Schottky diode N1. According to the current-voltage characteristic curve of the Schottky diode N1, the abscissa represents voltage and the ordinate represents current. When the current increases, the voltage rises very little, thereby slowing down the trend of the reference voltage increasing. Furthermore, since the reference voltage generating circuit must ensure a stable reference voltage Vref output even at high temperatures, and the inverse of the threshold voltage of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 is positively correlated with temperature, and the threshold voltage of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 is negatively correlated with current, the current of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 is positively correlated with temperature. That is, the higher the temperature, the greater the current flowing through the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1, and the lower the temperature, the smaller the current flowing through the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1. Furthermore, the characteristic curve of the Schottky diode N1 will shift due to temperature. As the temperature increases, the characteristic curve of the Schottky diode N1 will shift to the left, and as the temperature decreases, the characteristic curve of the Schottky diode N1 will shift to the right. When the temperature rises, the current flowing through the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 increases, and the output end of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 outputs a voltage of a certain magnitude, thereby achieving positive temperature compensation. At the same time, the increased current flows into the Schottky diode N1. At this time, the characteristic curve of the Schottky diode N1 shifts to the left, that is, the output end voltage of the reference voltage generating circuit decreases. When the temperature rises, the voltage of the Schottky diode N1 slowly rises along the left-shifted characteristic curve. When the current increases to a certain value, the voltage of the Schottky diode N1 is equal to the output voltage of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1, thereby achieving negative temperature compensation. Furthermore, according to the temperature compensation principle, the output end of the reference voltage generating circuit always outputs a stable reference voltage Vref at high temperatures.
[0056] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention enables the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor to operate in the subthreshold region by connecting a first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and a Schottky diode in series between a first power supply voltage terminal and a second power supply voltage terminal, and using the connection between the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode as the output terminal of a reference voltage generation circuit. When the temperature rises, the characteristic curve of the Schottky diode shifts leftward, i.e., the voltage at the output terminal of the reference voltage generation circuit decreases, achieving negative temperature compensation. Simultaneously, the current of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor increases, achieving positive temperature compensation. As the current increases, the voltage of the Schottky diode slowly increases, gradually offsetting the voltage drop caused by the leftward shift of the Schottky diode characteristic curve when the temperature rises, and ultimately becoming equal to the voltage at the output terminal of the reference voltage generation circuit. This structure makes the generated reference voltage insensitive to temperature changes, ensuring that a stable reference voltage can be generated even at high temperatures, improving the stability of the reference voltage generation circuit, making it compact and easy to integrate, and reducing the on-resistance of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and circuit losses.
[0057] In another specific embodiment, optionally, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a second reference voltage generating circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the reference voltage generating circuit further includes a PN junction diode N2; the input end of the PN junction diode N2 is electrically connected to the second electrode of the first enhancement mode MOS transistor M1, and the input end of the PN junction diode N2 is electrically connected to the input end of the Schottky diode N1.
[0058] Among them, the PN junction diode N2 is a device that uses different doping processes to make P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors on the same semiconductor substrate through diffusion. The space charge region formed at the interface between the P-type semiconductor and the N-type semiconductor is called a PN junction.
[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the PN junction diode N2 and the Schottky diode N1 are connected in series back-to-back. The current generated by the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 will flow into the cathode of the PN junction diode N2. Since the PN junction diode N2 has a high doping concentration and can be reverse-conducted, the current will flow through the PN junction diode N2 and then into the Schottky diode N1. Since the current of the PN junction diode N2 is very small when it is reverse-conducted, the generated voltage is also very small, which can play a voltage stabilizing role in the reference voltage generating circuit.
[0060] In another specific embodiment, optionally, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a third reference voltage generating circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the reference voltage generating circuit includes a second enhancement mode MOS transistor M2; the first electrode of the first enhancement mode MOS transistor M2 is electrically connected to the first power supply voltage terminal VDD, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the gate of the second enhancement mode MOS transistor M2 and serves as the output terminal of the reference voltage generating circuit; the first electrode and the second electrode of the second enhancement mode MOS transistor M2 are electrically connected to form a Schottky diode N1 and a PN junction diode N2.
[0061] The second enhancement-mode MOS transistor M2 is a field-effect transistor that conducts only when the voltage between the gate and the first electrode exceeds the conduction voltage. In this embodiment, the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor M2 is an NMOS transistor and utilizes a p-type gallium nitride substrate. MOS transistors with p-type gallium nitride substrates are characterized by high voltage operation and can operate stably at 0 to 100V. Furthermore, due to the inherent high-temperature resistance of gallium nitride, p-type gallium nitride substrates can operate within a temperature range of 0 to 300°C.
[0062] Specifically, by electrically connecting the first electrode and the second electrode of the second enhancement mode MOS transistor M2, a PN junction diode N2 and a Schottky diode N1 connected in series back to back are formed at the gate of the second enhancement mode MOS transistor M2. The equivalent circuit can be referred to as Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the current of the first enhancement mode MOS transistor M1 is positively correlated with the temperature, realizing positive temperature compensation, and the voltage of the Schottky diode N1 is negatively correlated with the temperature, realizing negative temperature compensation, thereby ensuring that the output end of the reference voltage generating circuit can output a stable reference voltage Vref. For the specific implementation principle, reference may be made to the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0063] Optional, reference Figure 1 The gate of the first enhancement mode MOS transistor M1 receives a bias voltage signal Vbias, and the bias voltage signal Vbias is configured to control the first enhancement mode MOS transistor M1 to operate in a subthreshold region.
[0064] Optionally, the bias voltage signal Vbias satisfies: 1V≤Vbias≤1.5V.
[0065] Specifically, the gate of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 is configured to receive a bias voltage signal Vbias. By inputting different bias voltages, the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 can be operated in different regions. In this embodiment, the bias voltage signal Vbias can be configured to enable the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor M1 to operate in a subthreshold region. In this embodiment, the bias voltage signal Vbias satisfies the following conditions: 1V ≤ Vbias ≤ 1.5V. Exemplarily, Vbias can be 1V, 1.1V, 1.2V, 1.3V, 1.4V, and 1.5V. The specific value can be determined based on actual conditions and is not limited here.
[0066] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for preparing a reference voltage generating circuit. Figure 4 A flowchart of a method for preparing a reference voltage generating circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the preparation method comprises:

[0069] S130. Electrically connect the first enhancement mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode, and connect them in series between the first power supply voltage terminal and the second power supply voltage terminal. The connection end of the first enhancement mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode serves as the output end of the reference voltage generating circuit.
[0070] The first enhancement-mode MOS transistor is configured to operate in a subthreshold region; the inverse of the threshold voltage of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor is positively correlated with temperature, and the voltage of the Schottky diode is negatively correlated with temperature, so that the output end of the reference voltage generating circuit outputs a stable reference voltage.
[0071] Specifically, when preparing the reference voltage generating circuit, a first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and a Schottky diode need to be prepared. The preparation sequence may include, but is not limited to, simultaneously preparing the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode on a substrate, or preparing the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor first and then preparing the Schottky diode after the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor is prepared. The specific preparation sequence can be determined based on actual conditions and is not limited here. After the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode are prepared, the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode are electrically connected by depositing a conductive metal on the second electrode of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the input end of the Schottky diode. The first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode are then connected in series between a first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage. The connection end of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode serves as the output end of the reference voltage generating circuit. This completes the preparation of the reference voltage generating circuit. The operating principle of the prepared reference voltage generating circuit can be referred to the above embodiment and will not be further described here.
[0072] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention comprises preparing a first enhancement-mode MOS transistor; preparing a Schottky diode; and electrically connecting the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode in series between a first power supply voltage terminal and a second power supply voltage terminal. The connection between the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode serves as the output terminal of a reference voltage generation circuit. This method achieves the preparation of a reference voltage generation circuit, providing a foundation for achieving a stable reference voltage output based on the prepared reference voltage generation circuit.
[0073] In another optional embodiment, the reference voltage generating circuit includes a second enhancement mode MOS transistor; Figure 5 Flowchart of a method for preparing a second reference voltage generating circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 5 As shown, the preparation method comprises:

[0077] S240: electrically connect the first enhancement mode MOS transistor and the second enhancement mode MOS transistor, and connect them in series between the first power supply voltage terminal and the second power supply voltage terminal, and use the connection end of the first enhancement mode MOS transistor and the second enhancement mode MOS transistor as the output end of the reference voltage generating circuit.
[0078] Specifically, when preparing a first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and a Schottky diode, considering the simplicity of the preparation process, the Schottky diode can be prepared by preparing a second enhancement-mode MOS transistor. The preparation method of the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the preparation method of the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor can be the same or different, and can be prepared simultaneously on a substrate or separately. The specific method can be determined based on actual conditions and is not limited here. After the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor is prepared, the first and second electrodes of the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor are electrically connected. Specifically, a conductive metal layer, such as aluminum or copper, can be deposited on the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor. After the first and second electrodes of the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor are electrically connected, a PN junction diode and a Schottky diode are formed in series back-to-back connection at the gate of the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor. Current can flow from the PN junction diode to the Schottky diode, achieving a delayed voltage increase. After the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode are prepared, the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the Schottky diode need to be electrically connected. In essence, the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor can be electrically connected. The electrical connection method can be achieved by referring to the above-mentioned deposition of the conductive metal layer. The first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor are connected in series between the first power supply voltage terminal and the second power supply voltage terminal. The connection terminal between the first enhancement-mode MOS transistor and the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor serves as the output terminal of the reference voltage generating circuit. In this way, the preparation of the reference voltage generating circuit is completed, providing a basis for achieving a stable reference voltage output based on the prepared reference voltage generating circuit.
[0079] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention comprises preparing a first enhancement-mode MOS transistor; preparing a second enhancement-mode MOS transistor; electrically connecting the first and second electrodes of the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor to form a series-connected Schottky diode and a PN junction diode at the gate of the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor; electrically connecting the first and second enhancement-mode MOS transistors and connecting them in series between a first power supply voltage terminal and a second power supply voltage terminal, with the connection end of the first and second enhancement-mode MOS transistors serving as the output end of a reference voltage generating circuit. Using the above method, the Schottky diode is prepared by electrically connecting the first and second electrodes of the second enhancement-mode MOS transistor, and the reference voltage generating circuit is prepared by electrically connecting the first and second enhancement-mode MOS transistors. This provides a basis for achieving a stable reference voltage output based on the prepared reference voltage generating circuit, while also increasing the equivalent impedance of the reference voltage generating circuit and improving the anti-interference capability of the reference voltage generating circuit.
