Three-dimensional Hall devices and their fabrication methods, Hall sensors Cross-references to related applications

[0001] This patent application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411347866.X, filed on September 25, 2024, entitled “Three-dimensional Hall device and its preparation method, Hall sensor”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of integrated circuit technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional Hall device and its fabrication method, and a Hall sensor. Background Technology

[0003] Hall sensors are widely used magnetic sensors, consisting of a Hall device and a signal conditioning circuit. When detecting magnetic fields in space, transverse Hall devices (measuring the component of the magnetic field perpendicular to the device surface) and longitudinal Hall devices (measuring the component parallel to the device surface) are limited to specific directions and cannot provide complete three-dimensional magnetic field information. In applications requiring omnidirectional, high-precision magnetic field detection, three-dimensional Hall devices are crucial to the functionality of Hall sensors.

[0004] Three-dimensional Hall devices typically consist of lateral Hall devices and longitudinal Hall devices. The magnetic sensing surface of a lateral Hall device is parallel to the device surface, requiring a shallower active well depth. Conversely, the magnetic sensing surface of a longitudinal Hall device is perpendicular to the device surface, requiring a deeper active well. Therefore, to improve device performance, multiple ion implantations are necessary during the fabrication of three-dimensional Hall devices to form active wells of different depths suitable for lateral and longitudinal Hall devices. However, current fabrication processes for three-dimensional Hall devices are quite complex. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the present application, the present application will be described in greater detail below with reference to the drawings. The embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be realized in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete. It will be fully appreciated that the present application is applicable to other embodiments as well.

[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0053] It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on" or "connected to" another element or layer, it can be directly on or connected to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers can be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" or "directly connected to" another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. It will also be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present application, and, similarly, a first aspect, concept or object discussed below could be termed a second aspect, concept or object without departing from the teachings of the present application. For example, a first dopant type can be a second dopant type, and similarly, a second dopant type can be a first dopant type, where the first and second dopant types are different dopant types, e.g., the first dopant type can be P-type and the second dopant type can be N-type, or the first dopant type can be N-type and the second dopant type can be P-type.

[0054] Spatially relative terms, such as "beneath", "below", "lower", "under", "above", "upper" and the like, can be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use and / or operation in addition to the orientations depicted in the figures. For example, if a device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device can also be oriented in the other direction (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0055] The singular forms "a", "an", and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes" and / or "including", or the like, when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0056] Embodiments of the application are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of ideal embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the application. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments of the application should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an implanted region illustrated as a rectangle will, typically, have rounded or curved features and / or a gradient of implant concentration at its edges rather than a binary change between implanted and non-implanted regions. Similarly, a buried region formed by implantation can result in some implantation in a region between the buried region and a surface through which the implant was performed. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.

[0057] In a first aspect, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, embodiments of the application provide a three-dimensional Hall device 10. The three-dimensional Hall device 10 includes a substrate 11, a barrier layer 12, an isolation structure 13, a shallow well layer 14 and a plurality of deep well layers 16.

[0058] In particular, the barrier layer 12 is disposed in the substrate 11. The isolation structure 13 is disposed in the substrate 11 and is located on a side of the barrier layer 12 close to a front surface of the substrate 11, and the isolation structure 13 encloses a device region 11a. The shallow well layer 14 is disposed in the device region 11a; the shallow well layer 14 has a plurality of first doped layers 151 and a plurality of second doped layers 152 arranged at intervals therein; each first doped layer 151 is connected with a first electrode 181, and each second doped layer 152 is connected with a second electrode (not shown in the figure) to form a first sensing electrode pair and a first bias electrode pair. The plurality of deep well layers 16 are disposed in the substrate 11 and are located on a side of the isolation structure 13 away from the shallow well layer 14; each deep well layer 16 has a plurality of third doped layers 171 and a plurality of fourth doped layers 172 arranged at intervals therein, each third doped layer 171 is connected with a third electrode 182, and each fourth doped layer 172 is connected with a fourth electrode 183 to form a second sensing electrode pair and a second bias electrode pair.

[0059] It should be noted that if the plurality of first electrodes 181 form the first sensing electrode pair, then the plurality of second electrodes form the first bias electrode pair; if the plurality of first electrodes 181 form the first bias electrode pair, then the plurality of second electrodes form the first sensing electrode pair; if the plurality of third electrodes 182 form the second sensing electrode pair, then the plurality of fourth electrodes 183 form the second bias electrode pair; if the plurality of third electrodes 182 form the second bias electrode pair, then the plurality of fourth electrodes 183 form the second sensing electrode pair.

[0060] Further, the depth of the deep well layer 16 is greater than the depth of the shallow well layer 14. The shallow well layer 14, the first electrode 181 and the second electrode on the shallow well layer 14 constitute a lateral Hall device. In operation, a voltage or a current is applied to the first bias electrode pair, and a magnetic field component perpendicular to the shallow well layer 14 is detected. The potential difference between the first sensing electrode pair is the Hall voltage. The deep well layer 16, the third electrode 182 and the fourth electrode 183 on the deep well layer 16 constitute a longitudinal Hall device. In operation, a voltage or a current is applied to the second bias electrode pair, and the potential difference between the second sensing electrode pair is the Hall voltage.

[0061] It can be understood that the material of the substrate 11 can be single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, germanium silicon compound, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) or low temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS), or other materials known to those skilled in the art, and the substrate 11 can provide a supporting basis for a structure layer on the substrate 11. The isolation structure 13 can be a deep trench isolation structure or a shallow trench isolation structure. The first doped layer 151, the second doped layer 152, the third doped layer 171 and the fourth doped layer 172 can be heavily doped layers.

[0062] The three-dimensional Hall device 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application sets the blocking layer 12 and the isolation structure 13 in the substrate 11, and makes the isolation structure 13 located on the side of the blocking layer 12 close to the front surface of the substrate 11, sets the shallow well layer 14 in the device region 11a surrounded by the isolation structure 13, and sets the deep well layer 16 on the side of the isolation structure 13 away from the shallow well layer 14. In this way, on the one hand, the Hall device can realize three-dimensional detection; on the other hand, in the process of preparing the shallow well layer 14 and the deep well layer 16, the blocking layer 12 can play a blocking role. Only one ion implantation is needed to form the shallow well layer 14 and the deep well layer 16 with different implantation depths, thereby reducing the process, and reducing the preparation difficulty and preparation cost of the three-dimensional Hall device 10.

[0063] In one of the embodiments, the center of the shallow well layer 14 coincides with the center of the device region 11a. Here, the center of the shallow well layer 14 can be understood as the center of the shape of the orthographic projection of the shallow well layer 14 on the substrate 11. The center of the device region 11a can be understood as the center of the figure surrounded by the orthographic projection of the isolation structure 13 on the substrate 11.

[0064] The above arrangement is conducive to arranging the first doped layer 151 and the second doped layer 152 in the shallow well layer 14, and is conducive to symmetrically arranging the first doped layer 151 and the second doped layer 152.

[0065] Further, the barrier layer 12 can be arranged at the center of the three-dimensional Hall device 10, in particular, the center of the barrier layer 12 is coincident with the center of the three-dimensional Hall device 10 (e.g. the center of the substrate 11), the center of the isolation structure 13 is coincident with the center of the three-dimensional Hall device 10 (e.g. the center of the substrate 11), and the center of the shallow well layer 14 is coincident with the center of the three-dimensional Hall device 10 (e.g. the center of the substrate 11). It should be noted that, due to manufacturing errors, approximate coincidence can also be considered as coincidence.

[0066] In one embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the shallow well layer 14 on the substrate 11 is a first pattern, and the first pattern is a center-symmetrical pattern. Here, the shallow well layer 14 is a center-symmetrical pattern from the top view.

[0067] In this way, the device structure is more symmetrical, the initial misalignment is reduced, and the measurement accuracy of the device is improved.

[0068] Exemplarily, the shape of the shallow well layer 14 from the top view can be a center-symmetrical pattern such as a quadrilateral or an octagon.

[0069] In one embodiment, the orthogonal projection of the first doped layer 151 and the second doped layer 152 on the substrate 11 is a second pattern, and the second pattern is center-symmetrical with respect to the center of the shallow well layer 14. That is, all the doped layers (the first doped layer 151 and the second doped layer 152) in the shallow well layer 14 are center-symmetrical with respect to the center of the shallow well layer 14 from the top view.

[0070] In this way, the device structure is more symmetrical, the initial misalignment is reduced, and the measurement accuracy of the device is improved.

[0071] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the shallow well layer 14 includes a first sub-layer 141 and four second sub-layers 142, two second sub-layers 142 are located on both sides of the first sub-layer 141 along a first direction X, and the other two second sub-layers 142 are located on both sides of the first sub-layer 141 along a second direction Y. In each of the two second sub-layers 142 located on both sides of the first sub-layer 141 along the first direction X, a first doped layer 151 is arranged; and in each of the two second sub-layers 142 located on both sides of the first sub-layer 141 along the second direction Y, a second doped layer 152 is arranged. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the thickness direction Z of the substrate 11 are perpendicular to each other. In this way, the shallow well layer 14 is in the shape of a "+" sign. Thus, the device structure is more symmetrical, the initial misalignment is reduced, and the measurement accuracy of the device is improved.

[0072] In one embodiment, the plurality of deep well layers 16 are symmetrically arranged. In this way, the device structure is more symmetrical, the initial misalignment is reduced, and the measurement accuracy of the device is improved.

[0073] Exemplarily, the number of the deep well layers 16 can be 2, 4, or 8, etc.

[0074] In one embodiment, the plurality of third doped layers 171 and the plurality of fourth doped layers 172 in the same deep well layer 16 are arranged alternately along the extension direction of the deep well layer 16. Here, the extension direction of the deep well layer 16 can be the length direction of the deep well layer 16. The orthogonal projection of the plurality of third doped layers 171 and the plurality of fourth doped layers 172 on the substrate 11 is a third pattern, and the third pattern is symmetric about the center of the deep well layer 16. That is, from the top view, all the doped layers (the third doped layers 171 and the fourth doped layers 172) in the same deep well layer 16 are symmetric about the center of the deep well layer 16.

[0075] In this way, it is beneficial to make the device structure more symmetric, reduce the initial misadjustment, and improve the measurement accuracy of the device.

[0076] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the three-dimensional Hall device 10 includes four deep well layers 16, two of which are located on both sides of the isolation structure 13 along the first direction X, and the other two of which are located on both sides of the isolation structure 13 along the second direction Y. Each deep well layer 16 is provided with three third doped layers 171 and two fourth doped layers 172 arranged alternately. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the thickness direction Z of the substrate 11 are perpendicular to each other.

[0077] Further, the four deep well layers 16 are symmetric about the center of the shallow well layer 14 (or the center of the device region 11a). All the doped layers (the third doped layers 171 and the fourth doped layers 172) in the same deep well layer 16 are symmetric about the center of the deep well layer 16.

[0078] In this way, the initial misadjustment can be reduced to the greatest extent, and the measurement accuracy of the device can be improved.

[0079] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the three-dimensional Hall device 10 includes eight deep well layers 16, which are arranged at intervals around the center of the shallow well layer 14 (or the center of the device region 11a), and the eight deep well layers 16 are symmetric about the center of the shallow well layer 14 (or the center of the device region 11a). It can be understood that the number of the deep well layers 16 can also be 16, 32, etc., and the number and arrangement of the deep well layers 16 are not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0080] In one of the embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, each deep well layer 16 is provided with two third doped layers 171 and two fourth doped layers 172 arranged alternately. The number of deep well layers 16 and the arrangement manner are not particularly limited in the embodiments. It can be understood that the number of third doped layers 171 and fourth doped layers 172 in the deep well layer 16 can also be other numbers, and the number of third doped layers 171 and fourth doped layers 172 is not particularly limited in the embodiments.

[0081] In one of the embodiments, the material of the barrier layer 12 includes at least one of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride or silicon nitride. In this way, on the one hand, the barrier performance of the barrier layer 12 can be improved, and on the other hand, the preparation cost can be reduced.

[0082] In one of the embodiments, the substrate 11 is a P-type substrate 11, and the doping types of the shallow well layer 14, the deep well layer 16, the first doped layer 151, the second doped layer 152, the third doped layer 171 and the fourth doped layer 172 are all N-type. It can be understood that the above-mentioned doping types can also be reversed.

[0083] In a second aspect, the embodiments provide a Hall sensor including the three-dimensional Hall device 10 in any of the embodiments of the first aspect. Further, the Hall sensor can further include a signal conditioning circuit electrically connected with the three-dimensional Hall device 10.

[0084] In a third aspect, referring to FIG. 7 and combining FIGS. 8-16, the embodiments provide a preparation method of a three-dimensional Hall sensor, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0085] S100: providing a substrate 11. Exemplarily, a P-type substrate 11 can be formed by ion implantation. The structural diagram of the substrate 11 is shown in FIG. 8.

[0086] S200: forming a barrier layer 12 and an isolation structure 13 in the substrate 11. Referring to FIG. 11, the isolation structure 13 is located on the side of the barrier layer 12 close to the front surface of the substrate 11, and encloses a device region 11a.

[0087] S300: forming a shallow well layer 14 in the device region 11a, and forming a plurality of deep well layers 16 in the substrate 11. Referring to FIG. 12, the deep well layer 16 is located on the side of the isolation structure 13 away from the shallow well layer 14.
