摘要:
A Schottky diode structure (4) is formed by retrograde diffusing an N⁺ concentration of relatively fast diffusing atoms, preferably Phosphorus atoms, to form a localized diode NWell (6) as the diode substrate for the diode. A buried diode layer (5) formed of relatively slow diffusing N type atoms, preferably Antimony atoms, underlies the diode NWell and electrically couples the diode junction (7) to the diode ohmic contact (9). A diode ohmic contact region (31) underlies the ohmic contact, further coupling the diode junction to the ohmic contact. Preferably, the diode junction is a Platinum-Silicide junction. The Schottky diode structure may be formed as part of a BICMOS integrated circuit fabrication process wherein the buried diode layer may be formed at the same time as a buried collector layer of a bipolar transistor structure, the diode NWell may be formed at the same time as an NWell of a CMOS transistor structure and the diode ohmic contact region may be formed at the same time as a collector sink region. In the BICMOS fabrication process the buried collector layer definition mask is also a buried diode layer definition mask, the retro NWell definition mask is also a diode NWell definition mask, the collector sink definition mask is also a diode ohmic contact region definition mask, and the BICMOS contacts definition mask is also a diode junction and ohmic contact definition mask.
摘要:
A low dose of N type dopant material is introduced in the source and drain regions of CMOS transistors using the polygate POLY and field oxide regions FOX as a self aligned transistor SAT mask and forming a lightly doped N-LDD layer in the source and drain regions of NMOS transistors and a lightly doped halo layer PHLDD in the source and drain regions of PMOS transistors. A PMOS transistor P+S/D definition mask, etch and P type dopant material introduction sequence introduces P+ concentration source and drain regions in the PMOS transistors over the N- halo layer. The P+S/D implant is adjusted for erasing the halo layer along the horizontal interface between the source and drain regions and underlying NWELL but preserving the halo layer at the ends of the channel under the polygate between the source and drain regions of the PMOS transistors. The localized halo PHLDD of N type dopant material at the ends of the channel enhances punch through protection between the source and drain regions of the PMOS transistors by 20% - 30% without substantially increasing parasitic capacitance between the NWELL and source and drain regions. The N+S/D definition mask, etch and N+ dopant material introduction sequence for NMOS transistors retains a portion of the N-LDD layer along the horizontal interface for reducing parasitic capacitance and at the edges of the channel for hot electron protection of the gate oxide of NMOS transistors. The new architecture for source and drain regions of CMOS transistors and new IC fabrications steps provide enhanced punch through protection for PMOS transistors and hot electron protection for NMOS transistors while reducing parasitic capacitance across active areas of the CMOS transistors.

摘要:
A high definition, high resistance resistor structure is formed in a resistor PWell by shallowly implanting a well-defined resistive region of the resistor PWell with relatively fast-diffusing N type atoms in an N⁻ concentration, and shallowly implanting a well-defined resistor contacts regions with relatively slow-diffusing N type atoms in an N⁺ concentration. The high definition, high resistance resistor structure (2) fabrication steps are integrated into MOS transistor structure fabrication steps without adding any new steps to the process. The resistor PWell is formed at the same time as the MOS transistor structure PWell, the resistive region is implanted at the same time as the low density drain (LDD) regions for the MOS device, and the resistor contacts regions are implanted at the same time as the source and drain regions of the MOS transistor structure. MOS transistor masks are modified to include a resistor PWell definition opening, a resistive region definition opening, resistor contacts regions definition openings, and resistor contacts definition openings.
摘要:
A localized subemitter collector region (SEC) is formed in the buried collector layer (BCL) underlying the emitter region (E) and active base region layer (ABL) of a bipolar transistor structure (12). The subemitter collector region (SEC) is implanted with relatively fast diffusing N type atoms distributed in a retrograde concentration upward from the buried collector layer (BCL) into the epitaxial layer (EPI) and preferably up to the active base region layer (ABL) below the emitter region (E). Preferably, phosphorous atoms are implanted in the subemitter collector region to a relatively high N+ concentration. The subemitter collector region (SEC) occupies a horizontal cross section area approximately 10% to 20% of the horizontal cross section area of the buried collector layer. The bipolar NPN transistor structure (12) is incorporated in a BICMOS integrated circuit. In the BICMOS IC fabrication process the NWELL definition and implant mask for the CMOS transistor structure is also a subemitter collector definition and implant mask providing an SEC definition opening for the bipolar transistor structure. The field oxide definition mask with framing field oxide openings (20) for the CMOS transistor structure is also a collector base surface spacer region definition mask with a CBSS defining opening (22) over the bipolar transistor structure.
摘要:
An improved Schottky transistor structure ( 6 ), including a bipolar transistor structure ( 7 ) and a Schottky diode structure ( 8 ), is formed by retrograde diffusing relatively fast diffusing atoms to form a localized retrograde diode well ( 9 ) as the substrate for the Schottky diode structure. An expanded buried collector layer ( 11 ) formed of relatively slow diffusing atoms underlies the base and collector regions of the bipolar transistor structure ( 7 ) and the retrograde diode well ( 9 ). A diode junction ( 10 ) is formed by expanding the base contact of the bipolar transistor structure to include the surface of the retrograde diode well. Preferably, the diode junction is a Platinum-Silicide junction. The improved Schottky transistor structure may be formed as part of a bipolar junction transistor fabrication process or a BICMOS integrated circuit fabrication process wherein the buried diode layer may be formed at the same time as the buried collector layer of the bipolar transistor structure and the retrograde diode well may be formed at the same time as the sub-emitter collector region of the bipolar transistor structure. The buried collector layer definition mask is also a buried diode layer definition mask, the sub-emitter collector region definition mask is also a retrograde diode well definition mask, and the bipolar contacts definition mask is also a diode junction contact definition mask.
