Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, specifically relating to a semiconductor device and its fabrication method, and electronic equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, some glass-based switching devices are fabricated using LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-Silicon) technology. However, due to limitations in LTPS crystallization and other processes, the thickness of a single LTPS layer is typically only around 50 nm, resulting in a relatively high on-state resistance. Furthermore, multilayer LTPS processes carry the risk of film bursting. Parallel connection of multiple switching devices also increases parasitic capacitance. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the on-state resistance and parasitic capacitance of switching devices. Summary of the Invention

[0063] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0065] like Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a semiconductor layer design in related technologies that includes multiple lateral PN junctions. P-type and N-type semiconductors extend along a first direction D1 and are alternately arranged along a second direction D2 to form multiple lateral PN junctions. However, switching devices based on this type of PN junction suffer from high on-state resistance and insertion loss due to the limited width W of the PN junction per unit area. Furthermore, for multiple such switching devices connected in parallel using intercalation electrodes, high parasitic capacitance is generated between the intercalation electrodes, affecting the isolation between the devices. The width W of the PN junction can be the horizontal dimension of the interface between the P-type and N-type semiconductors perpendicular to the carrier migration direction, and the length S of the PN junction can be the maximum length of either the P-type or N-type semiconductor in the carrier migration direction.
[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure provides a semiconductor device, which includes a substrate 100 and a semiconductor layer 300 disposed on the substrate 100. For example... Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, the semiconductor layer 300 includes a plurality of first semiconductor structures arranged side by side along a first direction D1, and a plurality of second semiconductor structures arranged side by side along a second direction D2; the first semiconductor structures include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the second direction D2; the second semiconductor structures include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the first direction D1.
[0067] In this embodiment, the semiconductor device utilizes a plurality of first semiconductor structures and a plurality of second semiconductor structures arranged side-by-side in two directions of the semiconductor layer 300. This allows P-type and N-type semiconductors to be arranged alternately in both the first and second directions. Without increasing the size of the PN junction, the width of the PN junction per unit area is increased, effectively reducing the on-state resistance of the semiconductor device, increasing the on-state current, reducing insertion loss, and improving device performance. For multiple semiconductor devices connected in parallel using intercalation electrodes, the area occupied by the same number of PN junctions is reduced, thus reducing the device size. The exponent of the intercalation electrodes is also reduced, which can effectively reduce parasitic capacitance and improve the isolation between semiconductor devices.
[0068] To more clearly illustrate the semiconductor devices in the embodiments of this disclosure, the semiconductor devices in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.
[0069] First example: such as Figure 2 As shown, the semiconductor device is a PN junction, specifically including a substrate 100 and a semiconductor layer 300 disposed on the substrate 100. The semiconductor layer 300 includes a plurality of first semiconductor structures arranged side by side along a first direction D1 and a plurality of second semiconductor structures arranged side by side along a second direction D2. The first semiconductor structures include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the second direction D2, and the second semiconductor structures include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the first direction D1.
[0070] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3A As shown, the semiconductor layer 300 includes a plurality of first semiconductor structures 311 arranged side by side along a first direction D1, and a plurality of second semiconductor structures 312 arranged side by side along a second direction D2. The first semiconductor structures 311 include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the second direction D2, and the second semiconductor structures 312 include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the first direction D1.
[0071] exist Figure 3AIn this configuration, the first semiconductor structure 311 and the second semiconductor structure 312 each include multiple PN junctions, wherein both the P-type and N-type semiconductors are quadrilateral. In other embodiments, the P-type and N-type semiconductors can also be of other shapes; their shapes can be the same or different. Furthermore, in... Figure 3A In this configuration, one side of the P-type semiconductor is adjacent to one side of the N-type semiconductor, and the P-type and N-type semiconductors are centrally symmetrical about the midpoint of the adjacent sides. In other embodiments, the P-type and N-type semiconductors may also have other relative positional relationships. The P-type and N-type semiconductors in the first semiconductor structure 311 and the P-type and N-type semiconductors in the second semiconductor structure 312 may have different relative positional relationships, as long as they can form a PN junction, they are all within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0072] Compared with related technologies, the semiconductor device of this embodiment increases the width of the PN junction per unit area to 2W without changing the length S of the PN junction in the semiconductor layer. This reduces the on-state resistance of the PN junction, increases the on-state current, and reduces the insertion loss of the device. At the same time, the number of PN junctions per unit area increases. That is, compared with related technologies, the area occupied by the same number of PN junctions is reduced, which is beneficial to reduce the device size. This can reduce the exponent of the intercalation electrode and reduce the parasitic capacitance of the intercalation electrode, which is beneficial to improve the isolation.
[0073] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3B As shown, the semiconductor layer 300 includes a plurality of first semiconductor structures 321 arranged side by side along a first direction D1, and a plurality of second semiconductor structures 322 arranged side by side along a second direction D2. The first semiconductor structures 321 include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the second direction D2, and the second semiconductor structures 322 include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the first direction D1.
[0074] exist Figure 3B In this configuration, the first semiconductor structure 321 and the second semiconductor structure 322 each include multiple PN junctions, wherein both the P-type and N-type semiconductors are triangular. In other embodiments, the P-type and N-type semiconductors can also be of other shapes; their shapes can be the same or different. Furthermore, in... Figure 3BIn this configuration, one side of the P-type semiconductor is adjacent to one side of the N-type semiconductor, and the P-type and N-type semiconductors are centrally symmetrical about the midpoint of the adjacent sides. In other embodiments, the P-type and N-type semiconductors may also have other relative positional relationships. The P-type and N-type semiconductors in the first semiconductor structure 311 and the P-type and N-type semiconductors in the second semiconductor structure 312 may have different relative positional relationships, as long as they can form a PN junction, they are all within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0075] The semiconductor device in this embodiment, and Figure 3A In comparison, without changing the width of a single PN junction, P-type and N-type semiconductors are arranged in the closest possible configuration, increasing the width of the PN junction per unit area to 3W. This further reduces the on-state resistance and increases the on-state current of the PN junction, further reducing device insertion loss. Simultaneously, the number of PN junctions per unit area increases further, meaning the area occupied by the same number of PN junctions is further reduced, which is beneficial for further reducing device size. This allows for a further reduction in the index of the intercalation electrodes and the parasitic capacitance of the intercalation electrodes, thus improving isolation. In one embodiment, the semiconductor device may further include a buffer layer 200 disposed between the substrate 100 and the semiconductor layer 300, and a first interlayer insulating layer 400 disposed on the side of the semiconductor layer 300 facing away from the substrate 100. The buffer layer 200 can be used to prevent impurities on the substrate 100 from contaminating the semiconductor layer 300.
[0076] The method for fabricating a semiconductor device in this example may include: providing a substrate, and forming a semiconductor layer on the substrate. Forming the semiconductor layer includes: forming a plurality of first semiconductor structures arranged side-by-side along a first direction, and forming a plurality of second semiconductor structures arranged side-by-side along a second direction, wherein the first semiconductor structures include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the second direction, and the second semiconductor structures include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the first direction.

[0078] Forming P-type and N-type semiconductors may include: forming a first mask layer on a semiconductor layer, patterning the first mask layer, using the patterned first mask layer as a mask to dope the semiconductor layer with boron to form a P-type semiconductor; removing the first mask layer, forming a second mask layer on the semiconductor layer, patterning the second mask layer, using the patterned second mask layer as a mask to dope the semiconductor layer with phosphorus to form an N-type semiconductor; and removing the second mask layer.
[0079] The processes for forming a first mask layer and a second mask layer on the semiconductor layer can include CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition). The processes for patterning the first and second mask layers can include photolithography and etching, with etching including wet etching and dry etching. The processes for boron and phosphorus doping of the semiconductor layer can include selective ion implantation. After ion implantation, activation can be achieved using RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) or laser methods.
[0080] The materials of the first and second mask layers can include metals such as molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), aluminum alloys, and copper (Cu), or alloys of the above metals. The first and second mask layers can be single-layer structures or composite layer structures.
[0081] In one embodiment, a buffer layer may be formed on the substrate before forming the semiconductor layer. In another embodiment, a first interlayer insulating layer may be formed on the side of the semiconductor layer facing away from the substrate. The processes for forming the buffer layer and the first interlayer insulating layer may include CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition), etc. The processes for forming the buffer layer and the first interlayer insulating layer may be the same or different.
[0082] like Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a semiconductor layer design in related technologies that includes multiple lateral pin junctions. P-type and N-type semiconductors extend along a first direction D1 and are alternately arranged along a second direction D2. An intrinsic semiconductor I is disposed between any adjacent P-type and N-type semiconductors, forming multiple lateral pin junctions. For a unit area of this lateral pin junction, the width ratio of the intrinsic semiconductor I can be obtained as follows: Where L represents the width of intrinsic semiconductor I and S represents the length of the PIN junction. If S = 4μm and L = 2μm, then the width of intrinsic semiconductor I accounts for 33%.
[0083] The second example: (e.g.) Figure 5 As shown, the semiconductor device is a PIN device, specifically including a substrate 100 and a semiconductor layer 300 disposed on the substrate 100. The semiconductor layer 300 includes a plurality of first semiconductor structures arranged side-by-side along a first direction D1 and a plurality of second semiconductor structures arranged side-by-side along a second direction D2; the first semiconductor structures include alternating P-type and N-type semiconductors arranged along the second direction D2, and the second semiconductor structures include alternating P-type and N-type semiconductors arranged along the first direction D1. The semiconductor layer 300 also includes an intrinsic semiconductor I disposed between any adjacent P-type and N-type semiconductors.
[0084] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6A As shown, the semiconductor layer 300 includes a plurality of first semiconductor structures 331 arranged side-by-side along a first direction D1, and a plurality of second semiconductor structures 332 arranged side-by-side along a second direction D2. The first semiconductor structures 331 include alternating P-type and N-type semiconductors arranged along the second direction D2, and the second semiconductor structures 332 include alternating P-type and N-type semiconductors arranged along the first direction D1. The semiconductor layer 300 also includes an intrinsic semiconductor I disposed between any two adjacent P-type and N-type semiconductors.
[0085] exist Figure 6A In this configuration, the first semiconductor structure 331 and the second semiconductor structure 332 each include multiple pin junctions, wherein both the P-type and N-type semiconductors are quadrilateral. In other embodiments, the P-type and N-type semiconductors can also be other shapes; their shapes can be the same or different. Furthermore, in... Figure 6A In this configuration, one side of the P-type semiconductor is opposite to one side of the N-type semiconductor, and the P-type and N-type semiconductors are centrally symmetrical about the midpoint of the line connecting their opposite sides. In other embodiments, the P-type and N-type semiconductors may also have other relative positions. The P-type and N-type semiconductors in the first semiconductor structure 331 and the P-type and N-type semiconductors in the second semiconductor structure 332 may have different relative positions, as long as they can form a PIN junction, all of which are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0086] exist Figure 6A In this context, for this lateral PIN junction per unit area, the width ratio of the intrinsic semiconductor I can be obtained as follows: Where L represents the width of intrinsic semiconductor I and S represents the length of the PIN junction. If S = 4 μm and L = 2 μm, then the width of intrinsic semiconductor I accounts for 55.6%.
[0087] Compared with related technologies, the semiconductor device of this embodiment has a significantly increased width ratio of intrinsic semiconductor I per unit area, which can reduce the on-state resistance of the PIN junction, increase the on-state current of the PIN junction, and reduce device insertion loss. At the same time, the number of PIN junctions per unit area increases, that is, the area occupied by the same number of PIN junctions is reduced, which is conducive to reducing the device size, thereby reducing the exponent of the intercalation electrode and reducing the parasitic capacitance of the intercalation electrode, which is conducive to improving isolation.
[0088] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6B As shown, the semiconductor layer 300 includes a plurality of first semiconductor structures 341 arranged side-by-side along a first direction D1, and a plurality of second semiconductor structures 342 arranged side-by-side along a second direction D2. The first semiconductor structures 341 include alternating P-type and N-type semiconductors arranged along the second direction D2, and the second semiconductor structures 342 include alternating P-type and N-type semiconductors arranged along the first direction D1. The semiconductor layer 300 also includes an intrinsic semiconductor I disposed between any two adjacent P-type and N-type semiconductors.
[0089] exist Figure 6B In this configuration, the first semiconductor structure 341 and the second semiconductor structure 342 each include multiple pin junctions, wherein both the P-type and N-type semiconductors are triangular. In other embodiments, the P-type and N-type semiconductors can also be of other shapes; their shapes can be the same or different. Furthermore, in... Figure 6B In this configuration, one side of the P-type semiconductor is opposite to one side of the N-type semiconductor, and the P-type and N-type semiconductors are centrally symmetrical about the midpoint of the line connecting their opposite sides. In other embodiments, the P-type and N-type semiconductors may also have other relative positions. The P-type and N-type semiconductors in the first semiconductor structure 341 and the P-type and N-type semiconductors in the second semiconductor structure 342 may have different relative positions, as long as they can form a PIN junction, all of which are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0090] exist Figure 6B In this context, for this lateral PIN junction per unit area, the width ratio of the intrinsic semiconductor I can be obtained as follows: Where L represents the width of intrinsic semiconductor I and S represents the length of the PIN junction. If S = 4 μm and L = 2 μm, then the width of intrinsic semiconductor I accounts for 77.8%.
[0091] The semiconductor device in this embodiment, and Figure 6AIn comparison, the width ratio of intrinsic semiconductor I is further increased per unit area, which further reduces the on-state resistance of the PIN junction, increases the on-state current of the PIN junction, and reduces device insertion loss. At the same time, the number of PIN junctions per unit area is further increased, that is, the area occupied by the same number of PIN junctions is further reduced, which is conducive to reducing device size. This can reduce the index of the intercalation electrode and reduce the parasitic capacitance of the intercalation electrode, which is conducive to further improving isolation.
[0092] In one embodiment, the semiconductor device may further include a buffer layer 200 disposed between the substrate 100 and the semiconductor layer 300, and a first interlayer insulating layer 400 disposed on the side of the semiconductor layer 300 facing away from the substrate 100. The buffer layer 200 can be used to prevent impurities in the substrate 100 from contaminating the semiconductor layer 300.
[0093] The method for fabricating a semiconductor device according to this embodiment may include: providing a substrate, and forming a semiconductor layer on the substrate. Forming the semiconductor layer includes: forming a plurality of first semiconductor structures arranged side-by-side along a first direction, and forming a plurality of second semiconductor structures arranged side-by-side along a second direction, wherein the first semiconductor structures include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the second direction, and the second semiconductor structures include P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors alternately arranged along the first direction; and an intrinsic semiconductor is formed between any adjacent P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors.
[0094] Forming an intrinsic semiconductor between any two adjacent P-type and N-type semiconductors may include: controlling the size and position of the first and second mask layers by adjusting the patterning process of the first and second mask layers to form an intrinsic semiconductor between any two adjacent P-type and N-type semiconductors.
[0095] In related technologies, a PIN diode is a variable impedance device controlled by bias current in the radio frequency and microwave bands. Its structure includes the P-junction and N-junction of a semiconductor diode, and an intrinsic I-region with high resistance sandwiched between them. Under forward current bias, holes and electrons are injected into the I-region. These charges do not immediately cancel each other out and disappear, but persist for a certain period of time, thus generating and storing a certain amount of charge. This charge reduces the impedance of the I-region, allowing radio frequency signals to pass through. When the PIN is reverse biased, the I-region does not store charge, and the PIN diode behaves as a parallel combination of a capacitor and a resistor, acting as a disconnector in the radio frequency circuit.
[0096] For PIN diodes based on interdigitated electrodes, their parasitic capacitance is mainly the interdigitated electrode capacitance C. off Its on-state resistance R onPrimarily determined by the width of the I-region, these two parameters directly affect the insertion loss and isolation of the PIN diode, respectively. on With C off The smaller the product of R and R, the better the performance of the PIN diode. However, in related technologies, PIN diodes have limitations due to their on-state resistance R. on and the off-state capacitor C off Excessive size leads to excessive insertion loss and isolation of the device, resulting in unsatisfactory performance at high frequencies.

[0124] In this example transistor, the source contact region (P-type semiconductor) and drain contact region (N-type semiconductor) of the semiconductor layer have different types of ion doping. This example transistor can be a tunneling TFT. In related technologies, the on-state current of a tunneling TFT is mainly affected by band-to-band tunneling (rather than drift diffusion). When the device is in the off state, the potential barriers of the source / drain contact region and the channel region (intrinsic semiconductor) are very wide, resulting in no charge carriers in the channel, thus the off-state current is extremely low. In the on state, the gate voltage pulls down the channel band. Once the conduction band of the channel region is lower than the valence band of the source / drain contact region, electrons in the valence band of the source / drain contact region can easily tunnel into the channel region and form a tunneling current, the magnitude of which is determined by the tunneling rate. The advantages of tunneling TFTs are extremely low off-state current and a subthreshold swing (SS) that can break through the 60mV / dec limit of standard TFTs, but their on-state current is relatively low.
[0125] In this example, the width of the intrinsic semiconductor I is greatly increased per unit area, which can reduce the on-state resistance of the transistor, increase the on-state current of the transistor, and reduce the insertion loss of the device. At the same time, the number of transistors per unit area increases, that is, the area occupied by the same number of transistors is reduced, which is conducive to reducing the device size, thereby reducing parasitic capacitance and improving device isolation.
