Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a manufacturing process of a voltage reference diode. Background Art

[0002] A voltage reference diode is a voltage stabilizing diode whose stable voltage changes very little at different operating temperatures. Since the PN junction of the diode exhibits a positive temperature coefficient under reverse bias, that is, as the ambient temperature increases, its stable voltage increases, and the PN junction exhibits a negative temperature coefficient under forward bias, the current voltage reference diode usually uses a PNP or NPN structure, that is, a forward PN junction compensates the reverse PN junction, so that its stable voltage maintains an accurate and stable value at different temperatures. The difficulty in designing a traditional mesa-type voltage reference diode lies in choosing what kind of substrate to make the positive temperature coefficient of the PN junction reverse voltage equal to the negative temperature coefficient of the PN junction forward voltage. This method is subject to the selection of substrate resistivity and impurity concentration gradient. Summary of the invention

[0018] S25. After removing the surface borosilicate glass layer, the chip is subjected to platinum diffusion treatment.

[0019] The reverse recovery time of the chip after platinum diffusion is 200-600ns.

[0021] The inner aluminum film layer is formed by electron beam evaporation process and has a thickness of 1 to 7 μm.

[0022] The outer aluminum film layer is formed by electron beam evaporation process and has a thickness of 10 to 14 μm.

[0023] The aluminum bonding temperature is 570-630°C.

[0024] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that a silicon wafer doped with heavily doped composite centers is used to perform temperature compensation on a reference voltage silicon wafer. In the actual production process, a corresponding compensation silicon wafer is prepared according to the required reference voltage. The compensation silicon wafer characterizes its compensation capability through the reverse recovery time. Since the reverse recovery time is controlled by controlling the platinum diffusion time and temperature in the production process of the compensation silicon wafer, a higher accuracy can be achieved. Therefore, its compensation capability can also achieve a higher accuracy, and the corresponding temperature coefficient gear can be obtained as needed, which greatly improves the temperature coefficient gear ratio and reduces the production input cost.
