[0002] A Hall device for current magnetic field detection is a magnetic sensor based on the Hall effect, wherein the Hall effect refers to that when a conductor or semiconductor material is in a magnetic field and current passes through, an electric field will be generated in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field and the current, and a Hall electromotive force will be generated. The magnetic sensor composed of Hall elements plays an important role in many fields, such as consumer electronics, industrial automation, automotive electronics, medical health systems, etc. With the development of application technology, the requirements for Hall magnetic sensors are getting higher and higher, and they are no longer limited to detecting magnetic fields in one-dimensional direction, but are required to detect magnetic fields in three-dimensional direction, wherein the three-dimensional direction refers to detecting magnetic fields in three mutually orthogonal directions in space at the same time.
[0003] Currently, 3D Hall devices for detecting magnetic fields in three-dimensional direction mainly include the following two types: the first type is to place multiple horizontal devices in X / Y / Z three directions by adjustment and integrate them in one package, and each device detects the magnetic field in the corresponding direction; the second type is to integrate multiple magnetic concentrator structures on the surface of a horizontal Hall device, so that the horizontal magnetic field is deflected to a vertical magnetic field under the action of the magnetic concentrator for detection. However, the above-mentioned 3D Hall devices have the disadvantages of low integration and large device size, which limit their application.

[0073] The technical solutions of the present application are further described in connection with the following examples.
[0074] Example 1
[0075] A single-chip integrated 3D Hall device, as shown in Figs. 1-2, is provided with:
[0076] STI isolation groove 500 - set around the inner sidewall of the P-type silicon wafer substrate 100; wherein the material of the STI isolation groove 500 is silicon dioxide.
[0077] First N-type deep well 200 - set at the bottom of the P-type silicon wafer substrate 100 and in contact with the STI isolation groove 500.
[0078] First P-type buried layer 300 - set at the center of the upper surface of the first N-type deep well 200, and there is a gap between the first P-type buried layer 300 and the STI isolation groove 500.
[0079] Second N-type well 600 - set in the upper surface region of the first P-type buried layer 300, and has 5 vertical structures and a cross-beam structure 630, wherein 4 vertical structures are integrally connected to the 4 ends of the cross-beam structure 630, and the 4 vertical structures are defined as the first vertical structure 610; another vertical structure is located at the midpoint of the cross-beam structure 630 and is defined as the second vertical structure 620; wherein the 4 first vertical structures 610 of the second N-type well 600 are symmetrically distributed with the second vertical structure 620 as the center.
[0080] Second P-type buried layer 700 - set in the upper surface region of the first P-type buried layer 300, and around and on the upper surface of the second N-type well 600, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
[0081] N-type electrode 900 - set on the upper part of the first vertical structure 610 and the upper part of the second vertical structure 620, the N-type electrode 900 located in the first vertical structure 610 is defined as the first N-type electrode 900, and the N-type electrode 900 located in the second vertical structure 620 is defined as the second N-type electrode 900.
[0082] Oxide layer 800 - set on the upper surface of the second P-type buried layer 700, as shown in Figure 1.
[0083] Third P-type well 400 - set in the gap between the STI isolation groove 500 and the first P-type buried layer 300, and in contact with the sidewall of the second N-type well 600, the sidewall of the second P-type buried layer 700, the sidewall of the N-type electrode 900, and the sidewall of the oxide layer 800.
[0084] Metal layer 1000 - set on the upper surface of the N-type electrode 900.
[0085] It should be noted that the STI isolation trench 500 surrounds the Hall active functional area 640 and the outer periphery of the third P-type well 400 as a physical isolation structure. The first N-type deep well 200 plays an electrical isolation role to further enhance the isolation of the Hall active area and the P-type silicon wafer substrate 100. The oxide layer 800 serves to isolate different N-type electrodes 900 and protect the underlying doped regions from contamination. The N-type electrode 900 is used to apply a bias current or detect a magnetic field-induced potential.
[0086] The second P-type buried layer 700 of the present application forms a reverse PN junction with the second N-type well 600 to achieve isolation of the P-type silicon wafer substrate 100. It should also be noted that the second N-type well 600 of the Hall active functional area 640 partially overlaps the first P-type buried layer 300 and the second P-type buried layer 700, which limits the vertical migration of electrons in the Hall active functional area 640 and maintains good lateral diffusion of the bias current.
[0087] The first P-type buried layer 300, the P-type silicon wafer substrate 100, and the second P-type buried layer 700 are all grounded.
[0088] It should be noted that the grounding of the second P-type buried layer 700 and the grounding of the P-type silicon wafer substrate 100 effectively improve the surface effect caused by the direct contact of the active layer with the oxide layer 800. The grounding of the first P-type buried layer 300 enhances the isolation of the device active area and the substrate.
[0089] The cross-beam structure of the present application is provided with four beam bodies and a connecting body, each beam body is integrally connected to the connecting body, each beam body is perpendicular to the adjacent beam body, and the four beam bodies are in the same plane; each first vertical structure is respectively connected to the end of a beam body, and the second vertical structure is integrally connected to the upper surface of the connecting body; the cross-beam structure is a central symmetric structure, as shown in FIG. 5, the shaded area in FIG. 5 is the vertical structure, and the hollow area is the cross-beam structure.
[0090] The present application uses a virtual straight line to sequentially connect a closed area of four first vertical structures 610, and the closed area serves as the Hall active functional area 640, as shown in FIG. 6. The dashed line in FIG. 6 is a virtual straight line, and the closed area formed by the virtual straight line and the edges of the first vertical structure 610 is the Hall active functional area 640.
[0091] The depth of the Hall active functional area 640 of the application is defined as D, and D is 4-8 μm; the maximum length of the Hall active functional area 640 is defined as L1, and L1 is 30-50 μm; the thickness of the cross-beam structure 630 is defined as H, and H is 0.5-2 μm; the width of each beam body in the cross-beam structure 630 is defined as W, and W is 6-8 μm; the length of each beam body in the cross-beam structure 630 is defined as L2, and L2 is 15-20 μm. The thickness of the N-type electrode 900 is 0.1-0.5 μm.
[0092] The upper surface of the N-type electrode 900 is flush with the upper surface of the oxide layer 800; the N-type electrode 900 is located between the oxide layer 800 and the second P-type buried layer 700; the depth of the third P-type well 400 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the first P-type buried layer 300, the thickness of the second N-type deep well 600 and the thickness of the N-type electrode 900.
[0093] The magnetic field detection working principle of the single-chip integrated 3D Hall device of the application is as follows:
[0094] 1. When detecting a vertical magnetic field, the metal layer 1000 above a pair of opposite first N-type electrodes is marked as V1 and V2, and the metal layer 1000 above another pair of opposite first N-type electrodes 900 is marked as V3 and V4, as shown in Fig. 1. A pair of mutually perpendicular first N-type electrodes are bias electrodes and Hall voltage detection electrodes, and when any one group is powered as a bias electrode, the other group can be used to detect the magnetic field induced Hall voltage.
[0095] 2. When detecting a horizontal magnetic field, the metal layer 1000 above the second N-type electrode is marked as V0, as shown in Fig. 1. V1 / V2 and V3 / V4 represent X or Y direction current, respectively. When a parallel magnetic field perpendicular to the current direction passes through, an induced potential is generated along the other perpendicular direction, which is concentrated in the V0 electrode. Since the P-type buried layer potential is zero, the detected V0 voltage is the Hall voltage induced by the Y or X direction magnetic field.
[0096] The single-chip integrated 3D Hall device includes four first N-type electrodes and one second N-type electrode. In the detection of a vertical magnetic field, the mutually perpendicular electrodes of the four first N-type electrodes are bias electrodes and Hall voltage detection electrodes. In the detection of a horizontal magnetic field, the four first N-type electrodes represent X or Y direction current. When a parallel magnetic field perpendicular to the current direction passes through, an induced potential is generated along the other perpendicular direction, which is concentrated in the second N-type electrode, so as to detect the Hall voltage induced by the Y or X direction magnetic field. The single-chip integrated 3D Hall device of the application is formed in a P-type silicon wafer substrate 100, and the maximum size of the Hall active functional area 640 thereof is only in the range of 30-50 μm, so the size thereof is very small.
